I was going through things, backing them up, and saw this hanging around. It’s the layout to a comic I did. The comic is no masterpiece, but since this blog is about process, I thought I’d throw this up. It’s also an English translation of the strip.

She talked about the history of Drawn and Quarterly, some of their artists such as Chester Brown, Daniel Clowes, Adrian Tomine, and Lynda Barry. Also got into a little of [...]

Le Beau Pourri
By Jack in books, collaboration, comics, Expozine, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonThis weekend is the 10th edition of Expozine, the Montreal zine and independent comics fair. It’s a big weekend for me, as it seems that most of the people I know in my scene are there. I’ve done little roving reporter visits with my camera, interviewing people in the past. With all of these comics [...]

Maurice Sendak and Kate Beaton Fail
By Jack in books, comics, current eventsBy “fail,” I don’t mean those two artists, who are great. Just my efforts to see them or their work today. It took an effort, but I caught up with the Maurice Sendak “Exhibition” at the Jewish Public library. CBC radio on the weekend had told me about it. Unfortunately, the exhibition was 8 double-sided [...]

New Comic – “The Golden Calf”
By Jack in black and white, Brush Pen, comicsI don’t really know where this comic came from, because it grew out of the first panel, and I took it from there without knowing about characters, or a joke, only that I had to do a six panel story. Guess I was influenced by reading about R. Crumb’s “The Book of Genesis,” because I’m [...]

Cheerful Misanthropy Comic
By Jack in colour, comics, paintings, watercolourI like children, but have seen a lot of complainers, and put-upon moms. This one wasn’t written as much as it sort of fell out of my subconscious. I’m uncomfortable about it (hence the title), but it’s just paint and paper. Painting comics like this seems to take about as long as drawing them in [...]

March 2011 Montreal Comic Jam
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonI was a little out of sorts at this month’s comic jam. Didn’t have a story to tell in comics, so just drew in my book as below. Rick Gagnon, my old collaborator, finished the last panel. The creature at middle right was a plastic animal the service left to mark where an order of [...]

Pleistocene Panic
By Jack in ballpoint pen, cartoons, comics, current events, Pen & InkI was freaking out over current events, and looking at a candle flame in my Swedish Lantern. Thought of this story, and drew it all in one night. I wonder if this argument actually took place long ago? Here’s a bonus Rachel Maddow:

Coffee
By Jack in comics, Richard GagnonToday’s strip is called “Coffee.” I think it was inspired by this machine at the Ontario Science Centre, that said the word “coffee,” and you could alter the inflection by turning a knob so that it sounded like a question. I wonder if that machine is still around? This was originally published in my friend [...]

Cats and the Creative Process
By Jack in Animals, cats, collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonHere’s another of those old strips of mine. Worked on at the comic jam, mainly by Rick Gagnon, over my scribbly pencils. Hence the odd faces here and there. Still funny, though. I’m running out of these, but have a few more tricks up my sleeve before I’ll have to start drawing stuff again.

Social Darwinism
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal Comic Jam, Richard GagnonAnother old comic from 1994 or so. More completely inked by Gagnon, but this was before he had completely figured out my style, I think. I’ll do more new comics, I promise!
