April 1st Update


Above is a wash drawing I drew in Wenatchee, WA. A quick sketch, but I like it.

This month wasn't great in the experimental comic world of me. I tried drawing a script I wrote in the autumn, but I abandoned it after pencilling it. but I'll share the pencils as they are interesting I guess in showing the process.

I was playing with trying to write a palindrome script. The words are not a palindrome, but the panels (at least the text) are. With more work, the drawings could have been too.

I was planning on shading it. It would be night, so the first half as they approached the house they would have been lit in the front and the background would be black. The second half, the house would light up the background and they would be shadowed on their fronts.

The title panel is a nod to the TMBG's song "I Palindrome I" where they sing "And I am a snake head eating the head on the opposite side."

Anyhow. I'm not adding it to the actual Water Street archive. But, you can read it here.



It's been a fine month. A little travel. Read some good books. hope all is well with you all.

p.s. - I'm having a sale on Little Dee original strips this week. Buy one and I'll refund you $5. You know you wanna.

That's a pretty nifty piece of dialog. It hink I've seen stuff like this before but not quite that long or that tells a straight forward story with backwards dialog. I do hope that some day you do finish it.

NogegoN by Luc and François Schuiten is a whole palindromic comic book. Not the text, but the pictures and page layout.

Looks like there's an english translation, too, collected in this book

I like the palindrome. It's cute. The wash is beautiful, too.

I was wondering where you were.

Enjoyable! Also, nice sketch. Speaking of experimental comic world, I thought I'd ask if you were interested in doing a poetry-in-comic-form page to contribute to a collaborative project with me and some folks I know? Might be a fun little exercise for you. Anyway, always a pleasure to see what you're up to!

Epecially ones that have been abandoned - I can't tell if the ones in the drawing are abandoned or just old. Hey Chris, I don't know if you remember me, Brady. I commissioned a drawing of Bruno on a bench a couple years ago. I was just reading the last Bruno books I bought and I had a couple things to say. I KNEW you were a Little, Big reader...I don't know how but I knew it. I'm a little afraid to read it these days because I'm not sure how it would affect me. But I have about 12 copies including 3 1st Editions for giving away to new friends. That's a long story. Ok, I know I already sound like a geek but I played World of Warcraft for a couple years. Went there and came back again, lived to tell the tale. Anyway, my main character's name was Florion. I just thought that was a funny coincidence.
