This version of Matt Madden's '99 Ways to tell a story: Exercises in styles' attracts me the most.
The comic is about a story of a man finishes his work in the middle of a night and feels like to grab a drink. He shuts down the laptop, stands up, and moves towards the refrigerator. Then a person from upstairs asks him about the time, and the man completely forgets about what he was looking for after diverting his attention to telling the person what time it is.
Indeed, it is an amusing story that may happen to every single one of us. But once it is shown from a subjective angle of view, the story becomes more catching. In the first two pictures, the computer on the desk and those hands in front of you can make you feel like you are right in the scene. Afterwards, the refrigerator, the stairway and the watch on a hairy wrist make everything so real. Moreover, the last two pictures present a pause of the sight. It perfectly shows the audience one’s whole body will freeze when he or she suddenly forgets what he or she was going to do. You can feel the helplessness in it.
The subjective angle of view is what makes the comic so interesting. From my point of view, this technic can be the reference for a lot of works.
