Oh, By the Way…
I’m a 10-year student in search of a Bachelor’s. Laugh if you must, but my class tonight was in the art of sequential art… Comics. Who’s laughing now? Seriously… I hear someone laughing… Is it just me? I hate that…
Anyway, we were given a task tonight that we had to leave the class, go somewhere else in a basically deserted building, and make a comic based on something we saw. The first panel had to be something we saw, then we build the rest. I picked up my things and set off to find someone to base my story on. There was nothing interesting happening, so I based it on some guy in dress clothes, talking on his cellphone.
DISCLAIMER: I drew this crap in about 45 minutes, so it’s ugly. It’s also not been cleaned up in photoshop, so these are just rough pencil sketches. Oh yeah, and it’s a bit dark.
No, it's not. It's not the same thing AT ALL!
Angela!!! You're not listening to me! Something is wrong!!!
You've never been so cold. *sob*
FINE!
Oh, I almost forgot, don't use the bath... I left the toaster in there...

HAHAHAHA… Get it? It’s because she’s dead. Because he forgot to tell her he left the toaster in the bathtub. Classic blunder.
Thoughts or interpretations?

Thats hysterical. I think you should make it a weekly/monthy part of your blog.
Is it wrong that I think thats hysterical?

I did it because I thought it was funny, so I think you’re completely in the right. I’m not sure about weekly though. I’d LOVE to do that, but my arguement is that I don’t have the time.
Then you might say, “You told us this only took 45 minutes” and it did, and that’s valid, but what if I’m not as imaginative next week/month? Ugh.
I *am* working on 2 other long comics that I’ll post in a few months.

That’s lovely! *backs away slowly, smiles akwardly while avoiding eye contact, careful not to make any sudden movements*

You mean sick the same way they mean in on MTV, right? Isn’t that like saying “cool” if you’re young and hip? I’ll assume you’re saying I’m cool.
Thank you. You are rather cool as well.

My opinion is, it wasn’t an accident!

Don’t point the finger, this is a police matter, etc… Common mistake, I mean where else would *you* keep a toaster?

That is awesome. I vote you do this weekly. Maybe you need a staff. On a side note, I wish that I had taken a class with Powers.

On a side-side note, I wish I had special Powers, or the last name powers. How many sides is that? Is this a square yet?

Is not being good a geometry a super power?

If it is, world beware!
Dark humor. My favorite kind. I love this. Please share more. Since you will be doing your homework assignment anyway, killing 2 people with 1 toaster so to speak?
We love comics (or let’s call it Graphic Novels since it sounds more respectable?!) in this house.
p.s. I am truly jealous of your comic class. Growing up in Taiwan, of course I dreamed about being a manga/Anime artist one day. My notebook pages were filled with practice manga eyes. That dream came after I realized I could never be like the manga heroin pursued by men with super long limbs, purple hair, and eyes with stars in them. Damn.

Graphic novels indeed. Or Sequential art. That’s what we call it in class… I’m fancy.
The manga style is amazing and has made a significant impact on American comics and cartoons, in more ways than most people realize. It’s easy to see a lot of the lazy anime on TV and hate on it, but it’s changed the landscape of comics either way.
I love it.
