My Personal Curse Is The Knowledge That I Function Best With Rigid Structure And Strict Routine But Am

my personal curse is the knowledge that I function best with rigid structure and strict routine but am almost totally incapable of independently establishing or maintaining that structure and routine

How do you feel about the fact that Book 1 of Unsounded written in prose would be like one or maybe two books/volumes and take much less time? I often think about stuff like that as a comic artist :o

It’s true, but it would be a different beast. Stories are so dependent on the medium. Think about how they change between books and film, between film and tv, between comics and novels! Watchmen the comic and Watchmen the film are related, but they’re third cousins at best. Are the ATLA comics really a seamless transition from the show? Does FFVII the OG game really feel like it came before Advent Children? I am sorry I only have Boomer examples

Unsounded in prose would lose all the sight gags; the moments of surprise or awe when you load a new page to see a new creature or location or sudden story turn. Reactions that are told with a heart-wrenching facial expression would instead have to be limned in words.

And words are great, words are super powerful, but words do their own thing and have their own strengths. You can paint scenes far more powerfully with words than you can with comic art, because with them, you’re painting on the infinite canvas of the reader’s imagination. But at the same time, you’re losing specificity and some potential impact. Well-done art affects us deeply. We’re drawn to it. We want to see faces.

Anyway, this has actually really been on my mind the last few nights because I’ve been listening to The Neverending Story, which I’d never read before, but I’ve always really enjoyed the movie. And though the plots are basically the same, they are SO different to me! I dislike Bastian so much in the book, and like Atreyu so much more. It was totally opposite for me in the movie. And it’s all to do with the actors.

So I don’t know, Anon, it doesn’t bug me that yes, the plot of the Unsounded could be told faster in prose, in books. Because a work is more than its plot. Webcomics in particular are this crazy modern format that let us communicate like this in-between every page. We have memes and in-jokes and can speculate on mysteries and dream and hope about upcoming pages. It’s cool!

Novels can do this too, of course, and serial fiction has been a thing for centuries. Webcomics are a pretty neat evolution of that.

Anyway, I forgot my point.

I Made Beef Stew Tonight! It's Incredibly Good.

I made beef stew tonight! It's incredibly good.

I glanced at a few recipes and listened to what the spirits had to say, and came up with this recipe:

Ingredients:

1.5 lb cubed stew beef 4 whole carrots, peeled and chopped into 1 inch pieces 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed  1 lb button mushrooms, halved Olive oil

2 cups red wine ¾ cup balsamic vinegar ½ cup worcestershire sauce 48 oz beef broth 2 Tbsp minced garlic

⅓ cup flour

Salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, Cholula hot sauce to taste

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450F.  Oil the bottom of a roasting pan, and lay out the beef, carrots, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms.  Roast for 40ish minutes, turning as needed to brown all sides.

Put everything in a large stock pot, then pour red wine into hot roasting pan, scrape off browned bits, and then pour into stock pot as well.  Add other liquids and garlic.  Whisk in flour.  Season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and hot sauce to taste.  Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 hours, until sweet potatoes are cooked through.

Serve hot.
