A Metaphor, pt. II

It's funny, but i'm happy with ever pose of the girl except for the straight on one. Shouldn't that have been the easiest to draw the best looking?

A Metaphor, pt. I

So this is something i've been kicking around doing for a long time now. It's basically an experiment involving panel layout. I know for a fact that i'm really really lazy when it comes to panel layout (what's that, you say? another strip in which two people face each other in a series of unbound panels going down the page in a linear line?), but i've also got some strong opinions on panel layout, and i thought it was about time for me to walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

What i'm doing here, then, is taking a very simple content idea (it's not even a joke, really, it's just a visual metaphor i came up with) and attempting to lay it out in standard comic book format. That's why it's going to take me five pages, because before setting out on this project i did some exhaustive research (read: read a bunch of comics) and established that most comics tend to keep their panels-per-page between six and ten. Interesting, right? Webcomics don't do that, but webcomics don't have to give a shit about paper page constraints. Anyways. Yeah. Bear with me?

It's been awhile since i did anthropomorphic kitchen items

I considered a second panel in which banana beats the shit out of them, but i think the one panel stands well enough on its own.

Sometimes i really want to just do this.

Regarding the watermark: I don't care too much about credit, but i've been informed that that last one made it some small way around the film student circuit, mostly via some people just ripping it and sending it along, with no up in page view counts for me. And while i'm happy as long as people are enjoying my stuff regardless of whether i get credit or not, maybe i'd be more happy if more people enjoyed more of my stuff? So if people don't find it too distracting, i'm just going to start throwing that up on all the strips so that if any of them make it alone out into the world, there's ways for people who find it to trail it back here.

Ugh

I have the ideas, but i lost my tablet's cable in one of the many locations i've been lugging my laptop around through. I know the cable i need, and it's like six bucks at fries, but i don't have a spare moment to run and get it. Sucks. Back on schedule after i get it.

The process of making movies

"I'm working on a movie," I say, and every time their eyes will light up, and I can just see the bombardment of questions coming, so before they can get a question in, I will sigh and insist, "believe me, it's really not as interesting as it sounds." And then they will ignore me and start asking questions anyways.

Working on set

True story. I'm the one of the far right, throwing papers in the air in frustration.
