David: As I mention afte...Thanks for the comments. <br />David: As I mention after the strip, there's a second half to this, in which I more directly address that question. But the format I'm working with (one-shot workshops and a summer camp for 5th-6th graders) can't really depend on outside reading, in part because I want to focus on the doing. <br />Montgomery: Two of the books I bring up in my follow-up strip are Lynda Barry's "What it Is" and "Picture This." You might find them useful. And good luck to you, as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893796119628724760.post-87696561872403234682011-09-15T07:38:25.703-07:002011-09-15T07:38:25.703-07:00makes me wish there were more comics-as-reviews ou...makes me wish there were more comics-as-reviews out in the world. <br /><br />i'm not sure what it is you're looking for, or what you mean when you say you're looking for something that speaks more toward the creative side of making comics, but have you read alan moore's WRITING FOR COMICS? he takes a thematic approach and mostly to story, but worth a look if you haven't seen it (though i suspect you have...)david elzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653215150526146224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893796119628724760.post-43627684672408287792011-09-15T07:07:14.738-07:002011-09-15T07:07:14.738-07:00The connection to this comic strip is very eerily ...The connection to this comic strip is very eerily similar to what I'm doing. I'm a librarian in Miami and have been lucky enough to do several make your own comics events for teens. I have used the exact books that you've mentioned including the How to Make Webcomics. I made my own mini comic with a co-worker who drew the artwork which we used to instruct with from making actual physical books to publishing online. As of next month, I am possibly looking at a layoff since the county is facing a budget shortfall. I have decided, aside from looking for work, is to do an actual series as a creative way to deal with my stress. Hopefully, I will get this going before the year is out. Good luck with your strip.Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726536487499895234noreply@blogger.com
