3-12 Tell Me Everything
Saturday, September 1st, 2007– Commentary –
J.D.: That’s determination.
Craig: What’s that?
J.D.: To go to a complete stranger’s house, and demand that they tell you something about a third party who is also a complete stranger to you.
Craig: It’s apparent to me that Dean is struggling a bit as a reporter.
J.D.: Two pieces of tape can tell you so much.
Craig: At this point in Penance, we switched to a four-panel layout for a little while.
J.D.: But then we were doing Penance in a hotel room while we were looking for a house.
Craig: Yep. I remember our printer broke, so all we had were my art supplies, the scanner, and the computer. Normally, when I do the rough draft of each page, we scan it in and print it very lightly to do the final pencils and inks.
J.D.: And if we make a mistake or don’t like how something looks on paper, we change it and then print it again. But our travel printer broke —
Craig: — and our regular printer was in a box in storage somewhere in another state —
J.D.: — and so we had to take any files we wanted printed to Staples. Therefore, if we made a mistake, we just had to suck it up.
Craig: Yeah. I didn’t have my art table or anything, so I was doing my pencils on a clipboard on the bed.
J.D.: Because the computer and scanner were taking up the entirety of the small desk.
Craig: And by “desk” you mean “nightstand.” 🙂
J.D.: More or less. The bathroom was half the size of the room.
Craig: So I guess this a long way of saying please excuse the dust of the next six pages or so. There’s a lot of art in them I’d love to change.
J.D.: Ah — maybe if we make a book we’ll revise some of the less-stellar artwork.
Craig: The perfectionist in me would want to redraw a goodly portion of the comic.
J.D.: Well, from my point of view, it’s neat to watch our art evolve. The problem with this page and the next few after it is that we seem to have gone backward temporarily, which is painful to look at for me.
Craig: Despite the art, I’m still pleased with how the dialogue and story came out.
J.D.: Agreed.

If you are doing that book and redraw some panels, that’s fine but don’t do what George Lucas did/does to Star Wars. He changed some of the scenes in a very bad way (like changing Han Solo shooting after he was shot and not first, which is in char for semi-criminal pilot and smuggler).
Keep plot intact. Revise only artwork. Otherwise it isn’t same story anymore.
And BTW at least this first four-panel strip is well done 🙂
