… And that wraps up chapter 8. Chapter 9, the final chapter, will start up on Monday. Be there!
As a Friday treat, I thought I’d tease some of the sketches for the project that MK and I are working on for SPX.
Have a good weekend!
EDIT: I totally wrote this post for Friday’s page, meaning to write it for today. I realized it when I got up this morning and just copied pasted it. Sorry!
This is jumping the gun a little bit, but there will be a book release reading/gallery opening for Americus at Powell’s City of Books here in Portland on Thursday, September 1st. Anyhow, along with all the other stuff I need to get done over the summer, I need to figure out which pages to put up for the show. I know having an art show of comics pages is kind of silly because a.] it’s meant to be read in print and not hung up on the wall, and b.] a lot of the times I’ve done corrections on the pages digitally, so the originals on some of the pages might not be complete.
Despite all of that, I think it’s still fun to see the original pages, or at least I know that I still like to see other people’s originals. So the question I have is ‘Which pages do I put up?’
Does anyone reading have any favorite 2-3 page sequences that they might like to suggest for me to put up in the gallery? I think there’s room for about 15 pages. I also realize that there’s still a whole chapter left, but I’d love any feedback.
Oh, one last thing: I finally got the glass for my light table! And I got a new stool so I can sit comfortably too! Yay! Anyhow, here’s a picture, though the quality is kind of crappy.
Now I don’t have any excuses not to be drawing! I need to start chipping away at our SPX project…
So we’ve been getting more popular, and one of the ways we can tell is that we’ve gotten a ton of spam lately. But to all our genuine human readers, thanks for sticking with us! And for not offering to sell us brand name drugs and porn.
We’re starting to get some rad reviews, check out this one from the NYPL blog!
Here was the script that MK had written for this page:
Page Twenty-Two
P1
Les: Is the board ready to vote?
Hugh: Yeah.
Max: Yes.
P2
Les: Then, for the vote to ban the Apathea Ravenchilde books, yea or nay?
P3
Anita: Nay!
P4
Bea O’Problem: Yea.
P5
Hugh Jass: For the sake of the children! Yea!
P6
Les rolls his eyes.
Les Whinen: Nay.
P7
Max Power: Nay.
Dang, that was like the fastest page ever to write!

It was pretty much the fastest page to draw, too!
