James Kochalka, “Craft is the Enemy,” from THE CUTE MANIFESTO
Fun fact: the dummy book I made for Steal Like An Artist was Kochalka’s Cute Manifesto (they’re the same format/size) with a homemade book cover:
This was originally the start of an epic letters-column exchange in the old Comics Journal print magazine. I still think of it as one of the most important lessons I ever learned about making comics. There are a lot of different ways you can take it, but for me it means: just make and make and make, don’t redraw the first 4 pages of your Future Greatest Work over and over again waiting for the drawings to be perfect. Get the ideas out of your head and onto paper—over time the drawings will become better and better, and the stories will become better and better, and eventually you’ll make a Great Work by accident, because you’ve been practicing for years. You’ll also have a body of work in your rearview mirror.
Hello Mr Bentley - happy birthday by the way :)
Susan Foreman
aka the Doctor’s granddaughter. I wonder if River is her grandmother? Ooooh! That would make Amy her great-grandmother and Rory her great-grandfather! HEADCANON!!!
Personally I prefer the explanation from Lungbarrow, and the Cartmel Masterplan; Susan is the Others granddaughter, and the Doctor is his reincarnated form.
Although there was an attempt to claim that she was Rassilon’s descendent at one point - in a short story written by the then Doctor Who script writer in 1983 for the 20th anniversary and featured in the Radio Times.
black - 1 thing about the person I like: “hir eyen greye as glas”
white - 3 things about my personality: sometimes I’m preoccupied with being polite rather than speaking my mind, on the rare occasions when someone really annoys me I tend to end up laughing uncontrollably, internally I tend to stress about things and generally put myself down - in order to combat this I try to seem calm on the outside and make up for my low self esteem by being stubborn and being optimistic 99% of the time.
For those wondering how to tell a good Italian restaurant from a bad one: Order lasagne.
Some of you are wondering why. Lasagne is one Italian dish that varies greatly between restaurants. As such it’s an easy dish to compare. By comparison variations of bolognese are slight at best, and not always a simply indicator.
Good lasagne very much depends on getting the balance between the pasta, sauces, and cheese exactly right. And even the type or maturity of the cheese used can play a massive part in the differentiation. Stronger tasting cheeses such as mature cheddars can be too intense when coupled with pasta, which is why milder flavours such as parmesan are more suited.
Obviously this boils down to your own personal taste - what I consider a delicious lasagne (or indeed a terrible one) could be the opposite of what you believe.
(The fact that I’m more obsessed with lasagne than Garfield does not influence this in the slightest)
Tooling around in Photoshop instead of tidying things like a responsible adult? DON’T MIND IF I DO.
