When wrong is right...
By: Web Editor
In reply to Martin Wilkie’s observation in the October issue that the bike was on the wrong side of the police phone box in the ‘Out of the Shed’ cartoon, the composition would have put the emphasis on the wrong part of the subject and the cartoon would not have worked if it had been drawn ‘the right way round’.
I suspect the reason is that we read from left to right and consequently ‘read’ pictures in the same way.
As a painter and cartoonist myself, I reversed some of my earlier pictures to obtain the correct effect and was initially surprised at how much it changed them.
