I go back and forth on whether I should use my own lettering for these, or a font. Hand lettering looks more like part of the drawing, but compared to my lettering a font is more legible.
I’m probably going to continue updating on a once-a-week schedule this month, but I hope to be more productive as Spring wears on.
Another weird one:
There’s a punch line coming, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for page two.
This is one of my odder cartoons. Basically I cobbled together a few random sketchbook drawings, and wrote a caption to match.
This is how I’ve been feeling all month.
I have another four-panel comic coming up, so on the bottom third of the bristol I drew another single-panel surrealist comic based on randomly juxtaposed words. (I should do more of these—my drawing seems to improve when I focus on one image.)
I uncovered a half-finished, five-year-old comic while I was straightening up, and inked it. The compositions in panels 2 and 4 were so off I had to correct them in Photoshop, but for something I drew five years ago it’s not so bad.
Someone actually did find Galileo’s fingers, though I don’t know whether any of them are the middle one.
I’m finally getting some new comics done. This isn’t one of my best, but the one I’m posting later this week turned out okay. In the coming year I hope to produce more and better work.
This is the second rerun.
In order to give myself a little more time around the holiday, the next two strips will be reruns of last year’s Thanksgiving strips.
Page 2 is coming in a couple of days.
