WHAT?! Carlos, you’re not rest of the teaser from last week! *Cue mob* But you are very cute! For the last tier (line of panels) I attempted playing with time and how to stretch or speed it up. Let me know if it works!
Wowzers, was this week so much fun. Darwin Day, Ladies’s Night, sending out Valentine’s, another Ladies’ Night, eating my way off the highway! You’ll be happy to know that the fan art has started to trickle in. Please enjoy the very first by my fellow student Jesse Mead (who is a first year at the Center for Cartoon Studies). A Reverse Merman:

The second work of fan art and first based on a character of mine is by the always illustrious Zack Giallongo, who has new issue of Grune (#2) for pre-order and is working ever so hard on his impending First Second graphic novel, Broxo. Zack is one of my favorite cartoonists of 2009 AND 2010 so watch out!

Thank God for Jason Week and Hot Chip’s new album, One Life Stand. Suffice to say there was a lot of dancing, especially to the new single! Talk to you OH so soon!

I think that’s one cool thing that cartoonists can do. Stretch one element (Soap from snout to fin) across multiple panels while showing moments of progression and change (Digby and Carlos) in other areas. It’s a good way to clearly reveal information that is supposed to be subtle from the characters’ perspective!
Absolutely, Darryl! I plan on playing a lot more with it as long as it is in service of the story.
