Uncanny Valley/Newspaper Comics

Return to the main page here.

Examples of Uncanny Valley/Newspaper Comics include:

• The original Little Orphan Annie comics feature horrific, pure white eyes utterly empty of soul or emotion, on every character, for no apparent reason.
• The caricatures from the 19th Century political satire magazine Puck can come across as this, on account of the photo-realistic style.
• This happens whenever Gary Larson draws humans.
  • Actually, Larson makes his people cartoon-y enough to avoid problems. It's only when he tries to emulate the style of more serious cartoons (to parody them, usually) that they get creepy.
