Right now I’m drunk. So I can’t write about the final part of Jung’s Archetypes. Mainly because I don’t want to and can’t make myself.
So instead, I’d like to talk about flashbacks, and methods of depicting them in comics.
A flashback, of course ...

Archetypal Events – Staples in Devising Plot (part 4)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, May 20, 2017
So here we are after the brief intermission, back to talking about archetypes from our friend Jung.

There are some comics where shadows don’t really exist- like Tintin where nothing casts a shadow at all. In other comics, shadows play a huge part, like Sin City. And yet in others they are just part of the natural environment of the comic and nothing more.
All are ...
Character Quirks
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, March 25, 2017
So last time I talked about the little extras that can go into dialogue and how that dialogue can be presented on the page of your comic, so I was thinking today might be good to continue in that general trajectory and talk about little extras in your character design ...
