30 Days of Comics: Day Nineteen

I got a little behind on posting these. I was away from a scanner for a while, so now I'm playing catch up. Here's day 19.

Around this time I started thinking of these strips terms of parts to a whole rather than individual statements. That is to say, my approach shifted from thinking of this as a daily challenge, to thinking of this as a project. I started to think about how each strip I drew this month would fit together with the others, and how they would play off of each other in the end.

Not that I'd been really successful at making individual statements with each strip previous, but at this point I sort of stopped caring.

30 Days of Comics: Day Eighteen

On the seventeenth of this month Rosalie Lightning, the very young daughter of cartoonists Tom Hart and Leela Corman, passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. The shocking and heartbreaking news has passed through the comics community this weekend.

Tom and Leela have touched so many, not only through their work but through their commitment to the community through support and education of other cartoonists. Recently the family moved cross-country - from New York to Florida - to start a new cartooning school, The Sequential Art Workshop.

Personally: Tom was the very first person to contact me, with kind words of appreciation, at the inception of this website. To have an established cartoonist of Tom's stature (as well as a cartoonist whose work I already admired) contact me, unsolicited, with such words of support... well, it meant a lot to me.

My heart goes out to Tom and Leela at this unimaginably difficult time for them. No parent should have to go through what they're going through right now. Cartoonist Lauren Weinstein has set up an emergency memorial fund to help them with whatever they need in their time of grief. Please consider donating.

Today's comics were drawn by my own children, Sophie (6 years old) and Jamon (4).
I love them very much and I feel so lucky to have them both.

Day fourteen. Almost half way.

This one is a riff off of days 12 & 13 and also a collaboration with my son.
I've done comics with Sophie before, but I think this is my first jam with Jamon. I think he did a great job!

30 Days of Comics: Day Ten

Day ten. Work comic. An altered text story born out of boredom, desperation, and bored desperation. Culled from a photocopied handout at work during some type of training where they taught us how to press buttons or something.

I am truly sorry for what you are about to read.

30 Days of Comics: Day Eight

Thirty days of comics, day eight.
I'd say the third panel is in tribute to Bil Keane, except for the fact that I drew it before I 'd heard of his passing. I'll still say it though.

RIP Billy Keen.

30 Days of Comics: Day Six

So I tried to draw a strip this Sunday and I just hit a wall. No focus and all thumbs. I tore up the result and made this bitchy thing with what was left. I kinda feel like a dick for even posting this. What a whiner!
I pretty much hate this one.

Ugh.
Gimme day seven. Quick!

Anyway, here's Thirty Days of Comics info.
And Derik has a roundup post of all the participants along with his own comic for today.

30 Days of Comics: Day One

I'm participating in Derik Badman's Thirty Days of Comics This year. I will be making and posting one comic for each day over the course of November. Check out the link above to see the other fantastic cartoonists involved.

This is day one. I spent most of the day trying to work out whether I could wing a sustained narrative in daily installments, all written on the fly. I balked at the last minute, it was just too much work to get into right now to try a continuity strip. So I went back to my old standby, the comics diary mostly banal. I dashed this strip off quickly to avoid missing the midnight deadline. Not my proudest moment, by far.

(I'll also be posting these at my main site.)

(p.s. I did some screwy things with posting day 2, which may have screwed up any rss feeds and whatnot. So if you're reading this in a screwed up feed, I'm sorry.)
