Comical

I've not drawn since finishing the Missed Connections comic. I think this might have a lot to do with having the audacity to create something I'm mostly happy with, which has taken away some of the 'Can I do this?' intrigue and determination.
But not all of the determination.

I've been reading comics and, well...thinking about them.
And tonight I'm going to start something new. Honest.
It's not the thing I was thinking of in the last post when I mentioned I was thinking of starting something new. Oh no no!
It's much newer than that.
Before I was thinking that something Krissa and I were joking about might make a good comics project - short summaries of books and movies.

So 300 might go (Krissa's) :
Loincloths
Death
Death
FIN.
(with a varying direction of death)

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's '100 years of Solitude' might go:
Town is founded
Plague of Aurelio Buendias
Town falls to bits
FIN

Pete Hamill's 'Forever' (Krissa's) might go:
Guy moves to Manhattan
Guy achieves immortality
Guy gets great apartment
FIN

The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (both our idea) might go:
Walking Hobbit
Walking Hobbit
Walking Hobbit
BLURRY ACTION SCENE
Walking Hobbit
Death
FIN

Audrey Niffenegger's 'Time Traveler's Wife' might go:

Couple Fall In Love
Couple Meet
Death
FIN

...and so on and so forth.
But while that works as WORD jokes, thinking about them as words and pictures...I don't think they'd work...would they? A 'FIN' frame?
I'm not sure.
The whole thing about the flippancy and abandoning of detail would sort of die if I have to painstakingly draw repeated and different death scenes...but ENOUGH! Analysis in this instance is over.

Um, yeah, so I'll start something tonight.
