Never Never and The First Panel
Life has been busy this week. I found out that my fall class was cancelled for the second semester in a row, so my work at work is going to be less, but that’s also less money. Oh the life of the adjunct.
But, my loss is your gain! Time not spent lesson planning is time spent on the comic and my new project, The First Panel! (The name leads to the site; check it out!) I’ve always loved comics of all sorts, and I hate it when I run into a person who thinks that comics are childish or worthless. It’s okay to not like comics, that’s just opinion, but saying that the stories that they tell aren’t worth attention gives me a knot in my stomach. So The First Panel is meant to display the stories that comics can tell and try to bring them to an audience that wouldn’t normally encounter them, as well as people who really like comics. I’m calling it The First Panel because it is, I believe, the first literary journal dedicated solely and specifically to comics and sequential art. I know I mentioned this before, but this is the big explanation! AND...
Submissions are open for comics stories and cover art! Know anyone who might be interested? Share it with them!
I’ve also been working on finishing Chapter 1 of Never Never, and as much as I love the comic so far, I’m not 100% happy with the art style, so look forward to a change coming with Chapter 2 (not a huge one)! I think it looks pretty good, but that’s me. For now, I think that’s what really matters. More on that on Wednesday. Have a good Monday!
