So here we are.

The final part.

I think John Byrne once said he did about two or three pages a day (I believe it was an eight hour workday).

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Dec. 16, 2017



A thread in the forum by JillyFoo on Net Neutrality has inspired this newspost.

Six weeks ago, at the end of my article titled “Psychopomps and Death Personified”, I asked the question: Can you think of any examples of the personification of Death in a comic? How about on Drunk Duck (Yes, you can plug your own comic)?

When I first started drawing comics in 2007, I had a desktop computer that was mainly used for essay writing and reading webcomics. I had very little drawing programs installed and MS Paint was the program I used for lettering! There was a problem, if I had too many programs ...
