Preview of my contribution: CHERRY & ELM, wherein, given the chance to tell any story I wanted with the whole of human history real or imagined as my canvass, I still decided to make it about a couple of early 20th century crooks. I have brain rot. Colors by Brennan Wagner! 1

LAVENDER JACK! The theme for this week's episode is "parties finding out things that other parties would probably prefer they wouldn't." That's life in a mystery comic for you. Yours, free of charge, on #WEBTOON: https://t.co/6vwtfQNuOP W/A/L: Dan Schkade C:@jemale E:@ladybb_re 4

Last Minute change of plans; with all apologies, LAVENDER JACK's going to take one more week off. I was REAL creaky coming off my flu, and while @jemale & I did manage to assemble the next ep, @ladybb_re saw me ice staking uphill and made the adult call. So for now? PREVIEW ART: 3

Round red goggle eyes are villain character design shorthand for "all things being equal, I wouldn't NECCESSARILY be evil... but oh well, in for a penny" 2

I have the MAD LOVE coloring book version (AKA the poor man's artist edition), and I'll just leave it open to this page on the table next to my desk for days at a time. When I took it off my shelf and opened it up to take this picture, this page still had dust on it. 1

@mr_oberts @mattsouthworth Totally! JSA ALL-STARS #3, this anthology JSA book from the early 00s. The main story was about the modern version, with a backup set in the golden age. This last page is a total killer - that injured Dr Fate in the final panel really stuck with me. 2

Don't get me wrong, a lot of people knew Johnny was trans the minute they saw him way back in Season Two Part four, but I have enough humility as a writer and an artist not to blame people for not picking up what I've been trying to lay down. 1

Since I've seen some light confusion in the comments, let me just confirm: LAVENDER JACK's Johnny Summer is (1) a trans man and (2) a romantic interest for our hero. The narrative style for the series tends towards understatement, and I'd hate for this to get lost in translation. 2

MEANWHILE: Readers on the @webtoon app can read up to two weeks ahead via Fast Pass, and THIS week's new installment? It's a heavy one. Madame Ferrier and Inspector Crabb team back up to find some answers - and hey, monkey's paw, then get `em. This one changes things. 1

@dancinaintfking That IS a good rule, although it's helpful to keep in mind that showing the environment doesn't always have to mean boots on the ground. Here's another page from SOLSTICE, in which Ibrahim Moustafa manages to move Bond from MI6 HQ to a train without drawing a single shoe. 1

That's right - I tend to think of it as the prime piece of information the page is meant to convey. In this first page, it's panel 1, where we realize the convo Bond and M are having is actually about M's daughter, while the 2nd page is all a setup for the comedy beat in panel 5. https://t.co/nrBfRWL1fh 2

More WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT by Matt Wagner, Brennan Wagner & me. Haven't actually looked at these in a while -- I'm appreciating how much Brennan's cool, lurid palettes do to make this really feel like the world of The Spirit, all damp and funky and uneven. He's GREAT on this. https://t.co/rAXJ9zZenr 4

Lucky thing, too -- this Gil Elvgren painting became the basis for my Ellen Dolan, which apparently was one of the things that finally put me over the top. I had the gig! Now it was time to get to it, we needed the issue in a month. An appropriate start to a comics career. 2

Next round was a test page from a sample script Matt had written. A version of this was eventually run with the Hollywood Reporter announcement of the series. I love Matt's scripts -- brief, percussive, with highlight words to dictate the tone of the panel. Great to work from. 2

There were a TON of rounds of tryouts for this book. First, I did these spec pages -- you can see I was still using the super fine SAN HANNIBAL microns. Some good stuff here and there, but there's a pervasive stiffness. It was that last pinup that ended up pushing me forward. 4
