Repeat Offenders Mixed Bag, part 2

Here's tier 2, panels 4 through 6, of my quick tips for making comics. Head back to last week's post if you want to refresh your memory on tier 1. If not, scroll on...

Repeat Offenders Mixed Bag

Here are the edits I make on the regular that I consider the greatest editorial saves on earth. And perhaps, one day, that will extend to the moon.

Final Friday Digest Delivery: The First 48

Phew! We found it! The first 48 hours are critical in a missing-persons case. Or the case of a missing digital digest. Luckily, we wrapped up with 5 hours to spare before they released the cadaver dogs.

Chewing the Fat & E.A.T.(ing) Records

A lot to digest including a 64-page downloadable Editing Workbook in your very near future. Plus: An Invisibles surprise?!

RIDING SHOTGUN

It's not nice to play favorites. But sometimes a story starts breathing with the character sketches. That's a great collaborator for you.

F&G Annotated Chapter 01

Apologies again for the delay in getting this in front of your eyeballs. I've always been a big fan of cheatsheets and time clocks, but without regular maintenance, everything falls apart. Sometimes, things fall apart anyway.

Annotating F&G - The Opening Act

I’ve wanted to annotate F&G for eons—long before it was written and drawn. Mostly because the hardest part of making comics for me and probably anyone—writer, artist, newbie, vet—is knowing when to call a page a finished page.

Final Friday Digest Delivery

Happy Final Friday of March! Here's The New British Invasion!

Road Work

Greetings from the road as I make my way towards the Philadelphia airport. Spent a week on the east coast and managed to concoct a special “In Conversation” event with the legend that is Caroline Cash.
