Fun with the Gatsby's, Great Gatsby the Video Game


Great Gatsby Comics:

These caricature comics puts Gatsby and his goons as high upper class, stiff lips.(All of these were done by Kate Beaton, a  respected Canadian illustrator)



Why role does Tom's and Daisy's child play in the story?
How does the comics portray it? Accurately?


Do people like Gatsby for reasons, we'd disagree with? What is your opinion of Gatsby? 

Why do they like each other? Are they perfect for each other? Perhaps not?

Question:
What is the style of the comics? Is it accurate, or overdramatized? 
Why is Gatsby drawn to Daisy?

That's right Everyone. Great Gatsby the Video game.

Battle the evil eyeglasses! (Nintendo Style for the NES)





Here is a stupid question: What do you think Fitzgerald would have thought about the video game?
