Thanks Stray, I probably got the caption storytelling idea from from Lynda Barry's work. She once said her comics were about 15%-25% autobiographical. My Magic Wandee story is at the 5% mark- who doesn't remember playing with something that's now prohibited thanks to reckless (or stupid) kids? Who doesn't remember being told "That's not funny!" as a child, because you snickered at the story of some kid who got hurt because he did something unbelievably foolish?
Thanks, Linda, RHSteele0H I'd wanted a hand written typeface, but the ones I had were too hard to read (and I was too snobby to use Comic Sans). So I picked this one. The picture that drove me craziest was the house turning into butterflies. The concept sounded funny- but when I had to draw it. I ended up making a special image "hose" (Painter 8) that left streaks of butterflies.
Oh but bat butt guy IS funny!

This is a wonderful story and very beautiful, too. I hope you expand on it because I want to see more of this magical world.
ReplyDeletep.s. I think the font you've chosen works so well.
That was great!

ReplyDeleteI hope you continue this series, I'm liking it!
ReplyDeleteI vacillated on posting this... forgive me for being the editor-geek, I think there's a word missing (used to have) in the first caption. *ducks*
Thanks, Linda, RHSteele0H
