Dirty River

Propagande Renard/Guilhem :

justicier masqué qui défend la veuve et l'orphelin, beau gosse, sait y faire avec une épée.

L'EPEE ET LA CONFIANCE EN SOI DE LITTLE SHIT, LE TRICORNE, LES CHEVEUX LONGS TENUS PAR UN PTIT NOEUD DE VELOURS, LE VISAGE CACHÉ, OEUVRANT POUR UN MONDE PLUS SOCIALISTE (J'veux lui tirer les cheveux. Chuis sure il aimerai se faire attacher. )

Et en plus il est poli

Propagande Scapin :

Valet probablement sous payé, se retrouve à devoir gérer les bêtises de son maitre Léandre, amoureux d'une fille sans dot et Octave, qui s'est marié sans prévenir son père. Il arrive non seulement à obtenir la somme nécessaire pour faire le bonheur des deux couples mais également à se venger de Géronte, le père de Léandre qui l’a desservi auprès de ce dernier. Comment fait-il ? Il le convainc de se mettre dans un sac et le tabasse avec un bâton lorsqu'il est dedans en se faisant passer pour quelqu'un d'autre. Scapin il bouffe du bourgeois pour son petit dej <3

Wally Wood’s 22 panels That Always Work have been passed around like cartoonist samizdat for decades now, and this is a good thing. But keep in mind, they aren’t a lesson in how to make good comics, they’re something to keep handy in case of emergency. The emergency in question is when a writer has handed you a non-visual script. (Read this letter from David Mamet to his writing staff for more about such things.)

Comics are a visual medium, and work best when they use pictures to advance and enrich the narrative. Sometimes a script doesn’t do that, but an artist still needs to communicate the impression that there is something dramatic taking place. Tv and film have sound and movement to help accomplish this goal. In comics, we’ve got variations in gesture, lighting, and composition.

Seeing this display at the desk of the guy who checked us in at a Syracuse doctors office today reminded me of the rightwing symbolism that's central to the culture change we've been seeing for years. Not for nothing, don't those pinwheels on the skull on the right look kinda like swastikas? Anyway, the 2019 cartoon at the link below was shared here once before. The ensuing years have done nothing to diminish its veracity, especially its prophetic expectation of paramilitary violence.

Amanhã e sábado vou estar na PocCon, em São Paulo. Vou levar esta zine exclusiva, além de prints de todos os tamanhos das artes que vocês veem por aqui!
