Okay, this is a fun, well-meaning thread and all (recommended), but DUDE, I literally say in the last two panels that "pictorial writing/hieroglyphics" of this sort are NOT comics by my definition (in part because they represent sounds). Certain Egyptian WALL PAINTINGS are another matter, though...

Over on Bluesky, someone asked if I ever use reference photos for expressions. The answer is: CONSTANTLY. Back before digital photography, I kept a mirror propped up by my drawing board. Now I just shoot photos. Sometimes I have my studiomates pose. Other times I pose myself and use a timer. https://youtube.com/shorts/g0RetTttweo?si=Xjp5F53PaPBi5t5-

If *what* you choose to put in those panels is interesting enough, no one will even notice the grid… Any grid is useful if you show readers something new.
