Just heard about this on the True North Country Comics podcast.

Looks cool.

Biffo is very pleased that he is allowed to keep the candy floss he has smeared all over his face as he audibly slurps it with his tongue. BUSTER: Sorry, Biffo! BIFFO: Don't worry, Buster. That man let me keep the candy floss.

Interesting to see that, if you removed a single line digitally, it wouldn't work. I don't think I've seen it before.

I also like the focus on character moments, very different than the view that the simpliest examples of panel proximity from my understanding certain of the comics theorticians.

Blind Date with a Human

#comic #만화 #art
Sketchy black and white comic. "Blind Date with a Human" Human and vampire at sitting at a small table, both with wine glasses. Vampire is drinking something red while the human is drinking white wine. Black-haired vampire asks his date: "So- you're a professor?" Flustered 35-40 year old human man responds: "Uh... yes...: Vampire is looking at the human's throat quite intently. He asks: "What do you teach?" Professor responds with: "Botany..." then says: "Um... excuse me..." Second page of comic. Vampire asks: "Hmm?" Human says, with hand scratching back of head: "You're staring so intently... Sorry... I got here right after work so I couldn't "freshen up"- I look-" Vampire cuts him off with: "Your neck is perfect." Human is so dumbfounded: "...?" Vampire swishes his glass of wine and muses: "Good texture- not too thick." Human has his hands to his neck, now completely blushing as he listens to his date while trying to interject with: "um- wait I-" Vampire goes on: "You see- sucking from there makes it feel as though I've just ripped out the jugular. Really muscular ones are a bit too tough on my teeth you see... Are you O-positive by any chance~? That's the best tasting one! <3" There are sparkles around the vampire as he speaks.

Biffo is overjoyed that he and his human-faced octopus friend have Won The Race. His little nephew/cousin climbs the winning post in glee as a mangled pile of middle-aged children trip and fall over themselves in a twisted heap of broken flesh and bone.

Here’s my doodle for #makeaterriblecomicday2025
Panel 1: A little submarine-y thing is small and alone. Panel 2: A shuttle suddenly docks & the periscope is now looking behind the submarine instead of ahead.

A panel of this was posted out of context, so I thought I’d share this here.

A comic strip where the cartoonist says this: “Hi Folks. Remember reading about “Newspeak” in high school? (He’s holding a copy of 1984)./Well, newspeak, which banned certain words to limit thought, is no longer just fiction! (Word balloons from the Oval Office) “I want only merit-based words! We love merit based words!” 3 word bubbles with “yes sir!” Follow. “Hundreds of words are now being scrubbed from (U.S.) government sites.” “Words Like equality, disparity, political, status, women, race…” cartoon characters are in the process of censoring the words in this panel. “So what can you do to save banned words?” says the cartoonist while three figures are slicing up words like “pollution” and “trauma” with a pair of scissors larger then they are. “Just keep using them! In public! In conversations! In text to friends!” In this panel, there are characters with bits of conversation shown like “clean energy” “mental health” “disablity” and so on. The last panel has the cartoonist say “Then commit (those words) to memory - before they’re lost FOREVER!” With a QR code to a complete list of banned words.

Short and Sweet, I’d say the last 2 panels look the most like Curt Swan’s hand.

It’s a smoothly moving page, quite nice to look at too.

I’ll try #LetterboxdFriday for a change.

Coney Steps Out (2023)

Slouch (2021)
Four posters. (Left to Right) The first has an optical light display, The second has a man at a boat’s steering wheel, The third has cartoon animals, one of which is a bunny with pants and gloves that is standing on stage. “Charles B. Pigliesinger productions present funnie fantasies IN COLOR” The fourth is made to look like a music poster of a man made of shapes whining into a microphone with his eyes closed. The poster has the words “Slouch” with “World Premiere” below it and smaller.

After 49 years incarcerated for a crime he did not commit, today Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier is finally going home to the Turtle Mountain Reservation. He never lost hope and kept his spirits high.

It seems purchases made from Comixology back in the day can’t be downloaded(?)

I’m in the content library and all I have here is “Dictionaries & User Guides” which I click to get the message “No Results Found” on my end.

I drew this, just to get myself to draw something. It went better than expected.🤓
First panel: A cheerful figure in jeans and a t-shirt proclaims I'M AN OLD SCHOOL CARTOONIST! Second panel: close-up of a hand, drawing a line on a piece of paper. A word balloon reads: I PENCIL AND INK ALL OF MY ART ON SHEETS OF PAPER. [small caption] LEFT HANDED Third panel: An extreme close-up of a pen with the words ‘ROTRING ISOGRAPH’ next to it. A word balloon reads: I LETTER ALL MY WORD BALLOONS BY HAND, WITH PENS. Fourth panel: The cheerful figure is now sitting at a drafting table, holding an ipad and a stylus. He says: BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG, I USE MODERN TOOLS, TOO! I USE THEM ALL THE TIME FOR COLORING, HALFTONES, AND FIXING MISTAKES! I SAY, TRY EVERYTHING. EXPERIMENT! LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ENJOY THE CRAFTSMANSHIP. Final panel: A close-up of the cheerful figure. His head is surrounded by a glow of positive vibes. He thinks to himself: YEAH. CRAFT FEELS GOOD. 2・13・2025 JOHN BOREN
