2012-04-04 Darth the Peacemaker

Chapter:

Adam had us drawing comics inspired by random words this week. I was shocked to get “Darth Vader” and “flying Ninjas” together with the more tractable “an unexpected visitor.” Not being into martial arts films, ninjas have somewhat passed me by, so I substitued vaguely Middle-Eastern warriors. Having seen Star Wars just the once (when it came out) I didn’t remember much about Darth — maybe he isn’t as cuddly as I remember. I left off the panel with the group hug, just in case.

1. - "Die, you thieving son of a camel train operator"
- "I'll get you for this -- I swear!"
2. Meanwhile, on the Death Star...
- bang! phut! phut! shudder! bang! HALT
- pof!
- "Damn you, Luke"
- "This is /so/ embarrassing"
- "Hey Hussein! It's Darth Vader!"
- "I thought he'd be bigger than that, Mo"
- "I think I'm sitting on my light sabre"

Chapter:

I have left myself some important but unanswered questions with today’s publication. Firstly, why do so many of my comics involve the consumption of the characters by other characters. But more importantly, where did that guinea pig come from?

2012-02-18 Neighbours

Chapter:

I found a great big art book in a charity shop today — “German and Austrian Painting of the 15th-18th Centuries in the Hermitage.” Apart from the book title and the painting titles in English, the text is in Russian, which I can hardly even read, let alone understand. So I’ve had to interpret this one for myself. It’s “The Annunciation” by Anton Raffael Mengs.

The Hermitage looks like a magnificent place — it was the setting for the astonishing film Russian Ark (2002).

Chapter:

I’m showing this cartoon today not because it is especially witty, original or well drawn, but rather because the protagonist is the person the artist loves the most in the whole world (apart from himself). He hopes you have a similar muse on whom to lavish your affection.

For followers of the Robert McKee school of story taxonomy, the Inciting Incident for this vignette was a snowfall approaching the almost Vernian depth of 10cm.

↓ Transcript
Karen thought that it was starting to look less and less like the Cowley Road. She wondered if she'd /ever/ catch a no. 5 bus into town.

Chapter:

This actually happened to us. Really. But the police wouldn’t help us, so we had to resort to walking along backwards with the map upside down* to throw it off our trail.

No wonder we got hopelessly lost.
