Superbole Sketch

// January 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // My Comics, Superbole

My friend, Ben, and I will be doing a silly collaboration comic where we each draw 5 characters and have them… fight.. alternating every page. Here’s one of my characters so far. Still working on the rest.

We Might is now up.

You can read it by going to the Others section of my comics or by clicking the picture below. From there you can also find my notes on the comic that should provide a little insight into the whole thing.

Bottomless Belly Button

While browsing the graphic novel section of Barnes and Noble this comic caught my eye. I took it to the cafe, sat down, and read the first 100 pages. It only took a few pages, though, before I decided that I just *had* to grab this. I read the whole thing the next day (it’s epic in length – comparable to Blankets by Craig Thompson) and fell in love. It’s quite beautiful… with excellent pacing, strong characters, and a compelling story. What really struck me, however, was how it was progressive without feeling pretentious. In case you were wondering, for the most part it’s a family drama with some humor.
