Formatting Comics Is Weird

Formatting comics is weird

Most of my life I drew comics on darn-near anything, mostly printerpaper. In middle school, I'd draw them on GRAPH PAPER because it made doing the paneling easier and tidy.

Nowadays, if Im doing a tournament, I still tend to format things as though for print - though I doubt I'll print most of it.

For fan works, most of it is on social media like tumblr or bsky which folks mostly read on mobile... So instead of assuming people are looking at the entire page at once, its often easier to do panel by panel in a long vertical stretch. It changes how you convey and think about time and action. ITS WEIRD. I know thats the norm for most webcomics, though much of the ones I still enjoy (tigertiger, unsounded, wilde life) still use a print page-like format.

dunno, tossing it out there for comic thoughts!

i learned that Albert Einstein was notoriously incapable of remaining faithful to one woman.

I Learned That Albert Einstein was Notoriously Incapable Of Remaining Faithful To One Woman.

Female beauty was his greatest weakness, and he wasn’t shy or bashful about the fact — he famously explained relativity as “an hour talking to a pretty woman feeling shorter than a minute of having one’s hand on a hot stove”.Albert Einstein had mistresses throughout his life.

He was unfaithful to his first wife, who was the mother of his three children.

He then was unfaithful to his second wife as well, who was also his cousin. The little girl on Einstein’s lap? His adopted granddaughter.

Who, as legend has it, may have been an out-of-wedlock daughter fathered by the aging scientist and then adopted by one of his sons to ‘avoid scandal’.The stereotype we have of Einstein is “somewhat confused, awkward scientist completely obsessed with his work”, but in reality, he was quite socially savvy and quite capable of seducing women, something he did often and ferociously.

Women in his life were aware of his proclivities — a great man belongs ‘to the world’, and sharing, as he saw it, was caring.

Some women like their men handsome. Others go for brains. Albert Einstein had no shortage of brains… and no shortage of women in his life. He got around, so to speak, and was sexually active until old age.

im a doctor

i coulda sworn I posted here but i guess not!

hi everybody, i just finished my dissertation in a physical science and have been recovering from the academic burnout by... *checks notes* doing more work via job search activities! that makes a lot of sense.

i have the rest of this chapter of light between shadows thumbnailed more or less, and the script for the whole thing has been done for a while. and the urge to draw is returning like feeling coming back to numb fingers. enough that i also joined the silliest 4-round comic tournament with this thing

Im A Doctor

so those may also pop up along the way. enjoy.
