- That's a bold financial strategy, isn't it?
- no, more of a staff retention strategy
I hope this one makes sense. In case you are wondering who they are, here are the stories with their Aarne-Thompson classifications:
Three Little Pigs – AT124
Three Billy Goats Gruff – AT122E
Three Bears – AT171
Three Blind Mice – Roud folk song index #3753
billy goat gruff: yeah, but trolls - they are much more vicious, I mean...
daddy bear: excuse me - I couldn't help overhearing you, but the very worst are the little girls.
blind mouse: actually...
Well, this is another comic as a result of Adam Murphy’s excellent comic class. We were given fifteen minutes and the text “the thatch above their heads” to make a comic. I redrew the whole thing over the weekend and had a play with some shading techniques Adam showed us a few weeks ago. Here’s the original, white-hot, off-the-top-of-the-head, 15 minute version:
(You may need to click to make it big enough to see.)
"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!"
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!"
Only the names, hair-styles and body shapes have been changed to protect the innocent.
I’m hoping that I have now got some of this “mobile phone” stuff out of my system, technology lovers!
Cat woman! famous throughout the land! No matter how tough the situation, or what perils may lurk, cat woman would always rise to the challenge… her mobile signal was _always_ good.
Heartfelt thanks to Karen, who was bound up intimately with the conception of this comic and without whom it would never have been produced. So you see, it’s not always my fault.
While drawing this I felt inspired by the incredible surreal comics of Tori Miki (Miki Bird), in particular a book a picked up on a trip to Japan in the mid 90’s: “Any Place but Here vol. 2”. Being entirely free from text it was probably the only book in the shop I could have understood completely — except that some of the jokes still elude me! Recently I’ve spotted more of his work on Amazon.
This is another comic that I made at one of Adam Murphy’s excellent comic classes. We had only half an hour, so at Adam’s suggestion I took the plunge and drew directly in non-erasable ink — no backtracking! So please excuse the extra scrappiness of my drawing.
The theme of the class was hands, so we drew a hand doing something in the first panel and only then tried to turn it into a story.
