#Stars artoon movie

A flash of light and flames as it pulls up in a haze of blue smoke, a kid alighting from the vehicle and mum waving goodbye. Imagine if I inserted the DeLorean time machine car into that line, I thought. You would all be very familiar with parents approaching the school drop off zone in a line of cars and the kids getting out and heading off to their classrooms. Staring at the blank piece of paper in front of me, I thought back to the days of dropping my own children off at school.

#Stars artoon movie

One of the stars of the movie is the DeLorean car that the crazy Dr Emmett Brown invented to go backwards and forwards in time. So with the return of face masks at schools I had an image in my head of the classic Hollywood time travel film Back to the Future. When you paste this into a news story it helps describe what you are trying to say about the story. When we hear a phrase from these movies or books it immediately conjures* up a picture in our minds. These things become part of our language. Our lives are enriched by the books we read, movies we watch, television, games and trends on social media. One of the techniques I like to use in my cartoons is metaphors* and images from popular culture. I wanted to say that it looks like we have gone back to 2020 when we were living under strict Covid protocols*.Īnd here we are years later doing it again! I wanted to draw a cartoon on the concept of the backwards and forwards progress of life with the coronavirus. We move upwards on the ladders, then slide back when we land on a snake! Some say it’s like the game of snakes and ladders. But as we now know it’s a resilient* little virus and it returns every now and again, with a new variant* forcing us to go back to our Covid restrictions. We are into our third year of Covid and we all hoped we’d be rid of it by now and life would be back to normal.
