Setting And Time

The Graphic novel that i have been reading, BONE AND THE GREAT COW RACE does not take place in the present. You can easily tell this from the drawings and or illustrators displays of the characters. For one, there are no modern technologies such as cell phones, computers, or high electronic devices. You can tell not only from what the characters use but how they live and dress too. The characters that actually wear clothes don't wear clothes that would be seen today but typically in the past. The clothes almost have a Renaissance fair appearance to them. Also, the places like the restaurant and their home similarly have an old english of Renaissance fair feeling to them. They are not fancy, very wood and dirt based. No plastics, glass, or modern materials are illustrated in this, just materials used in the past. Through the author or illustrators use of different drawing skills and using materials that would not be used today, it is easily displays the setting/time of where and when this story takes place.
