I have been meaning to do this for a while now. Haven't got down to it
for no real reasons. This one's about Interval.
Interval's about a nameless boy with no head.(i.e it isn't drawn) How that happened is less profound than I would like to be; I drew the rest of him,eyes,nose and all, and found that I couldn't finish up the head in a way that satisfied me, so I said -
Hmmmmm.he doesn't need to have a head,does he?
S does the writing and she rocks,needless to say. Among other things, Interval is about the pains of keeping one's canvas shoes white, spinach more traumatized than it's eater, the grandparent who's 80 going on 5, the severe but kind P.T Sir, the girl next door you have a crush on before you know you do, and a mother who tells her son he doesn't have to like the birthday girl to eat her cake. (She knows he secretly likes her,though.)
It has hot punch dialogue and just enough parentheses.It's effortlessly moving and
funny,two things writing for the comic form should be,if it possibly can.
It's the last cookie you didn't know was there. Sometimes, I save it up for the end , and after everything else is done, work on it top speed. Other times, I do it slowly.Savouring every bit.
It makes me want to get better at everything.
