PANEL 25



An hour and a half from conception to posting. Not bad. I wish everything went this way. Bear done with a Pilot gel ink pen. Everything else with a #12 brush. Rough was done on a yellow legal pad. Final on Tracing vellum.

I'm thinking more and more about a theory of awesome panels. Going back and forth between my MoCCA books and Kirby/Ditko readings is making me think that all our mature "literary" comicking has over-corrected the super hero panel dynamic. We need to bring back the awesome.

Lucky for you, you have Cliff Face Comics. Aw, SNAP!
