Scott McCloud wants you to make comix Abbott

what about comics with bigger pens than usual?

What book was it, Abbott?

most comic bk art was drawn '2 up' (ie 2 times larger than the printed page) until the late 1960s, when it went '1 and a half up' (it has pretty much stayed there ever so since) - you can really notice the difference w/ jack kirby's comics, for example.

some artists - i'm struggling to think of examples, other than trevor von eeden of all ppl - DO draw 'same size'. maybe (sic) will know if or how image size makes a diff to strips created on a computer, where there is no physical page as such.

Chris Weston draws same size, then blows it up to submission size and re-inks it. I have a Ministry of Space page that proves it.

That's crazy, Weston's work is super-detailed.

Not that I doubt you, I just find it crazily surprising.

The book was, in fact, Scott McCloud's Making Comics. And, that is an interesting fact, Ward. I had been drawing everything same size, which I think is pretty obvious? It's really hard to write legibly that small.

I think the only comic I didn't think was drawn at the usual size was the "Bazooka Joe" comics in the bubblegum wrappers.

bump for fun

Abbott, word on the street is that you might be putting together a comic for J0rd4n+Ju5t1n3?

bumpin'

Yes, after I do another project for them (which I have actually done another picture for hai guyz).

we're pretty much just going to be the publishing arm of abbott's comic art empire.

http://scienceology.com/2015/11/15/the-beach-boys-the-true-american-story-of-the-true-american-band-a-comic/

i'm so so confused

That was delightful. And fairly accurate, from what I recall.

yep! <3 it

awesome

lol @ CVB quote

ok I think in reality the best thing about it is this feedback from my Dad: "Funny, but the Beach Boys were actually on the beach at least once as is manifested by their picture of them in front of their woody and with surfboards on one of their albums. I was a kid when they came out. We wore white pegged pants and played with yoyos while listening to the Beach Boys."

this is exactly what I wanted the Great Pop Things book to be and it mostly wasn't (a few minor classix tho and I still regret lending it to someone and not getting it back)

the "astral plane" caption is possibly my favourite sentence ever

<3

also sic I am sooo jealous you have seen Hamilton

I'm sorry about my pedanticism... Maybe the North American French pronounce it differently though? :)

my French is terrible but the t isn't silent when followed by a vowel, also iirc in a lot of francophone songs they pronounce the silent letters which suggests to me that the French, unlike the Finnish, employ poetic license
