One thing I didn’t pay strict attention to in the early comics was differentiating other people from myself. I established from the start that I’d draw myself as the most basic stick-person possible (path of least resistance, you see) but I didn’t always remember that it can be confusing to add other people to the mix and have them look, well, pretty much the same.
Light hair is a super-simple way to change that. For light hair I draw a stick person, and then throw a few spikey lines across the forehead. Boom, altogether different character. I’m not going to go and count, but I’m betting that if the comic requires a non-specific “extra” character they’ll have light hair nine times out of ten. [November 24, 2011]
I LOVE the Zelda noise you used in panel number 2, well done sir.
You got Plunger! Now you can…plunge…things..?
Hmm. I would just turn around to the guy behind me (as if I knew him,) and say, “So, this should fix the problem you’re having, right?” And then buy it. Yeah… that would totally work.
Also, I love your Freeman. You’re a great artist.
Well you could be buying it for your band, it’s the most dignified instrument out there….
second of course to the washdrum bass.
This set me laughing out loud. I think the Doo Doo doo doooo! was half of it, but Freeman clinched the deal. His expression is priceless.
I must admit I have sold many plungers to people…the key is to buy two of them. For your Larry-Boy costume…
