• Title:

• Creator:
  Kowalczyk, Marcin
• Description:
  In comics, similar to theatre or film, props play a crucial role in storytelling. However, in the comic medium, the function of a prop as a meaningful element takes on a distinct character. Cartoons not only depict objects but also give them specific significance through artistic representation. The article aims to explore this phenomenon by examining the graphic novel The Book Tour by Andi Watson. The analysis draws upon the insights of renowned comics scholars but also refers to broader conceptual frameworks.  Thus additional links to theoretical proposals on the semiotics of visual representations and semiotics of the stage. Throughout the discussion, the paper presents artistic techniques used by Andi Watson that contribute to the unique nature and the way of functioning of comic props.;
