Greetings! random info, but I study literature + media in Bonn (Germany) and we had to hand in an essay about a comic of our choice (topic: comic production and its cultural contexts). I chose one of yours because why the fuck not and now I have an essay that I need to show you. have fun :)))) first pages are German, English version below. I put it through DeepL cuz I'm lazy, so no guarantees for correctness in English. also its copied into docs for sharability and now all my footnotes are gone, but who cares. byeeee https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gDdDLKbofjZcVHIDFriActrkwAj1xorERGEUyvekBc8/edit?usp=sharing

Wow, this is amazing! I can’t say I’ve ever had someone write an analysis on my work before so this is kind of surreal. Thank you for providing the translation and making it shareable, I’m so happy I got to read this!

You know, I often question whether I should be spending as much time as I do on GL. Like, I should be creating original works, focus on publishing, building a broader audience, etc. But so many talented artists don’t get the attention/reach I do with my series, and after it’s finished, I may never get it again. At least, not with original work. I won’t have talented people like you writing about my comics in their classes. All that to say, I’m very grateful 🥲

Your essay is super insightful and I love how you framed GL in the cultural context of fandom and how we interpret characters. So many people want us to feel ashamed for shipping (especially queer shipping) but fandom would not be what it is today without it! I’m glad the scene with the Tuskens was the one you focused on too! It was difficult to write and was such a pivotal moment, so it’s great to read someone else’s perspective on it. Ok I’m done rambling. Thank you again!! 💕

The Creator's Guide to Comics Devices is OPEN!!! comicsdevices.com

An online library of visual-narrative devices that are used in the medium of comics and other sequential art.

Happy Halloween! I'm really excited to be finally launching* what is maybe one of my most ambitious, largest work yet. This online library is the next phase of a research project that began in May 2020, when I first mused on how comics as a field doesn't have a resource that catalogues devices used in the medium. Like, theatre has devices, so does literature, and film! So why shouldn't comics? I always had an interest in comics studies and analysis. I love reading, making and thinking comics. However most of my knowledge was intuitive - I learned comics from osmosis and experience. This is true for many of my peers. Speaking about comics as a creator is hard, because we don't have a robust system of language. When we had to speak, many of us tend to reach for the language developed for film by film practitioners. If there is language specific to comics, it's either scattered in multiple blogs or hidden away in academic journals. The Comics Devices library is meant to aggregate everything and everybody into a single hub! After exploring some multiple resources, alongside some original, independent research, here is the first edition! * The Comics Devices project is still a work-in-progress! It's not final, nor will it ever be. This is why I am seeking contributors to help build this library. Translations, comics examples, etc. There is a lot of work to do! If you are interested, reply to this post or submit an expression of interest on this page.  Have fun everyone!! (Now time for me to melt x_x)

Anyone else fuck with individual songs? Who is the artist? I dunno. What album is it from? Shut up. What year was it released? *tim allen grunt* What's the title of the track? Fuck you. But it goes like this: *poorly memorized chorus*

I love that song. Do not ask me anything about it.
