Life update:
GMA passed away in her sleep a week before Halloween… 1 day before her 99th bday.

Unlike GPa passing in 2020– we had family over to say goodbye.

We’ve adjusting to our new normal. We’re able to go out as a family, Hubs and I can leave the house at the same time.

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

This is how we approach our comic. Sanders & I write the dialog without panel direction. I (as the artist & letterer) decide how it’s presented.
I have a plot outline, but dialogue I either write as I thumbnail, or I write dialogue ahead of time without panel specification, but allow myself to alter it if doing so feels more right on the page. Either because of pacing, or sometimes (rarely) because of the shape the text creates.
