Gosh I love how weird old Jesse Marsh comics could be.

The perfectly American thing is, we haven’t had as bad an oil shock as anticipated because our greatest geopolitical rival got smart and wildly accelerated its transition to renewables, cutting its demand, and our response is “well thank God that’s keeping prices down so *we don’t have to do that.*”

Rode the shuttle from the hotel to the con this morn, seated between a drummer for the Ramones and two chatty, amicable women who are retired pro wrestlers. Sometimes you find yourself living in a Jaime Hernandez comic.

Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work is something to keep handy in case of emergency. The emergency? a non-visual comics script.

Comics work best when they use pictures to advance & enrich the narrative. When a script doesn't do that, an artist still needs to communicate drama. Film has sound & movement for that. In comics, we've got gesture, lighting, composition.

You 'll run through a lot of clever shots keeping the reader's eye engaged. Out of good ideas? Break the glass and deploy Wood's 22.

Grateful for Ted Chiang. Here he is writing in The Atlantic on Ai.
