Over on my free Patreon, I have decided to work on an 8-page story to start. There will be ongoing process pics each day to few days as I work them out. From Layouts to Letters. Posted nowhere else. Might make for a unique experience.

There is usually every few years a book series that becomes a cultural phenomenon for kids. Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man. For me? It was Goosebumps.

@drawnbybon That being said, I grabbed a few recently and the nostalgia is pretty strong. They're 90s time capsules.

[Statistical L. Zero @StatisticalZero]

@drawnbybon I think as a kid I had around 35-40 of them. Dropped off around Legend of the Lost Legend. They are still a lot of fun for a quick read. Kind of a palate cleanser between reading more advanced type stuff.

@drawnbybon Attaboy! I've got about 18 of them after revisiting.

@LadyAliBooks I've been looking at old Frank Peretti Christian horror novels lately. That or an analytical C.S. Lewis book. Boring to some, wonderful to others.

Which is a critical problem in a lot of indie comics. The creator creates the world then babies it. Stays in the safe zone to be able to tell more stories. Not always a good path for longevity. Specifically for horror, sci-fi, action and fantasy. War and Western too.

I find one of the best ways to tell a story is to establish the environment then break it. Point A to B is easy but there is no story there so tell so it gets harder. Pacific Rim is done if the walls kept the monsters out. John Wick is done if he was left alone in peace.

I think it's important when discussing AI to take into account that it is really only a symptom. We are living in a world increasingly becoming more impatient for things to release. Taking one's time is becoming a luxury. Quantity over quality is truly becoming an expected norm.

@LadyAliBooks The ultimate corner written into from what I hear. Never did read any of the Martin books.

@AnInstallation And it was a movie that worked for everybody. Lessons to be learned.

[Statistical L. Zero @StatisticalZero]

While I can certainly draw and write R-rated stuff. I always felt I had a place in the high PG-lower PG-13 style stuff. Accessible for anyone. Cool enough to make kids feel older and enjoyable enough to make adults feel a bit younger. It's called "All-ages" for a reason.

Some days, I wonder what YouTube would be and look like if superchats were never invented.

Another grab bag random drawing post over on Patreon. It's been a great time filling these pages with study.

I want to see cheaper movies. More chances can be taken and more creativity explored. It's not as much of a financial risk. The last, roughly two decades have had a LOT of blockbusters to the point, in my opinion, they get samey. Looking forward to smaller passion projects.

The perk from crowdfunding (besides the comic) that has been my favorite has always been the bookmark. Useful, reusable and each unique. I suppose the trading card can also be used as bookmarks too. All the rest was always a distant second as I mostly wanted a good quality book.

@CitizenRonin @aaronlopresti @gnolan12 Somehow it escaped me. Aaron gave me the same shame. Haha.

[Statistical L. Zero @StatisticalZero]

Just assuring @aaronlopresti and @gnolan12 that The Searchers is getting viewed for the first time the right way with a 100 inch screen and theatrical sound bar.
