no way he’s fucking dead again what was the point of that

dick grayson’s carefully crafted facade of control and cosmic guilt has enchanted me body and soul

comics as an art form make me insane. they’re so difficult to do well. there’s so many different ways to make sequential art work and most of them are deeply unintuitive. onomatopoeia that feels completely ridiculous to put down often reads seamlessly. panels on a page become a fractally nested image composition challenge that’s only possible to lose because if you do a good job no one will notice. you have to direct the readers’ eyes on a specific path across the page but also account for the fact that they won’t follow it. comic time isn’t linear. if the order of events isn’t crystal clear the story becomes incomprehensible. sometimes you need to do this on purpose. all this for a medium almost universally considered less effective than animation and less respectable than plain text. even its own name doesn’t take it seriously

accidentally created another rorschach textpost. half the comments are like 'yeah this is exactly why i can't make comics' and the other half are like 'yeah this is exactly why i can't stop making comics'
