I’m putting together my picks for our end of the year awards show. 🏆
Shout out some of the amazing comics projects we’ve seen this year that you love. No big 2 (you can but it won’t be considered as we focus on indies.)
Shameless self promotion is accepted. Categories are obvious.

Life has been very complex lately. Family drama/politics. Hubs and I just want to raise Kiddo in the only home she’s known and build a life after grandma.
And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to give her that stability.

An amazing c. 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian dog carved from ivory. This leaping dog opens and closes its mouth as if barking by using a lever below its chest.

Us: How do they make potato chips?
Kiddo: how?

Kiddo grins:

- How do they make human food
- how do they make dog food

Life update:
GMA passed away in her sleep a week before Halloween… 1 day before her 99th bday.
Unlike GPa passing in 2020– we had family over to say goodbye.
We’ve adjusting to our new normal. We’re able to go out as a family, Hubs and I can leave the house at the same time.

My most strongly held comics opinion (I hesitate to say "opinion," because it's a fact): lettering should be the first finished thing done, not the last. Done after (or along with) roughs and finalized before pencils. Pencils and inking should be done AROUND the lettering.

This is how we approach our comic. Sanders & I write the dialog without panel direction. I (as the artist & letterer) decide how it’s presented.
I have a plot outline, but dialogue I either write as I thumbnail, or I write dialogue ahead of time without panel specification, but allow myself to alter it if doing so feels more right on the page. Either because of pacing, or sometimes (rarely) because of the shape the text creates.
