Scratchboard: August 8, 2008 - Crosswalk Karma.
Added 2024-01-30 05:07:45 +0000 UTCWhile gathering artwork for a comic strip this evening* I came across a fairly nostalgic scratchboard to the left of the 8/8/2008 comic, in which Ray almost runs over an old lady in a crosswalk and ends up...wait for it...giving her money.
As I put new strips together, the area to the left of the artboard becomes its own little Byzantium; successive generations of debris gather until I wipe the area clean and begin anew. See if you can pick out which strips contributed parts to this fun little collage.

* Did you know I often copy and paste older artwork, rather than drawing each line from scratch in each panel? It's true — but please don't stop reading Achewood.

Hey man, it works for Dinosaur Comics.

2024-02-01 23:45:48 +0000 UTCThe little old crosswalk lady actually struck me as having a very distinctive voice in the finished product (I think it's the way she doesn't use contractions). Neat to see the evolution here, and I think it was the right call to move away from the less formal register of "I seen 'em come and I seen 'em go."
