Hmmf. I never figured on the logo being displayed over artwork. Very difficult to get it to stay visible, without covering up too much. Ditto the damned text box.
Part of what I’m trying to do here is to pay homage to old EC comics, where the captions really enriched the images, by describing moods and temperatures and smells. But it’s damned hard to fit text in. Can’t see myself cramming more than 4 lines. (Soooo, basically 30 words or less?) Maybe in the future I’ll split the captions up… But for now (the first time we encounter this storyline) it somehow seems important to me that there only be one caption in each strip. hmm. Can’t explain this odd impulse. It feels like “pacing.”
Eh. Anywho. Dunno if it’s clear if that is “the guy” over in the far right frame, looking over his arm at the tubes he’s passing. I was having fun trying to hint at shapes without getting specific (lovecraft style, i thought).
Also, the first frame could be his grisled old eye, or it could be the eyeball on one of the “somethings” he’s passing. Yeah? Fun? … I probably went a little too far with the flesh around the eye ball. it looks pretty crazy. … hmm.
anywho.
…
question: is it wrong to say the “eyes” turned to “face him”? Maybe i should rewrite that to say “the eyes seemed to turn towards him”…???
