JJ you guessed right on the O'Malley influence... I'd never heard of Faith Hicks before but I looked her up and I think I'm in love! :crazy:

Ben if I may, I'd suggest less dialogue per panel/page.

carrying on in the series. The expression is to signify distress intentfully, it's not dramatic for no reason. The reason is long to explain right here but I will if you want.

Yeah, looking back on it now the first page has some of the most awkward flow ever.

Also, you're putting a pretty heavy OPPRESSION FACTOR on your comics with that thick black border on the panels. Post a bigger page for panel edit of justice!!! if you want some time. We could talk more comic art theory nerd talk if you want. If it's old, best not to, if it's new, best to do so.

Helm, I love the implied lines in the guy reading the newspaper. However, his arm looks terribly undersized!

What irony? Please be clear.


I love both Alan Moore and David Lloyd's work. One writes comics, another writes and draws them. It's difficult to compare them.

saimo: foreshortening on the lower arm!!

If I had to guess, I'd say the irony is about the anatomy of this self-portrait (if it is one).

I think the torso and arms are looking kinda odd due the foreshortening and shoulder positioning.
