PIPE DOPE #130

First          Previous          Next


Man, for a while there, I didn't think I was ever gonna get past the 120s. No more weeks off (until late December). The adventure continues with #131 on Monday. Have a swell weekend in the meantime!

Oh yeah, and of course it wouldn't be Friday without a look at this week's thumbnails:

PIPE DOPE #129

A couple of months back, I picked up all eight issues of Frank Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz's Elektra Assassin. Reading them was like having a fever dream on the astral plane--there are a hell of a lot of ideas at play in that miniseries, and I doubt I'll ever wrap my head around all of them. However, I have been thinking a lot about the lettering (by Jim Novak in issues 1-7 and Gaspar Saladino in issue 8), and today's panel struck me as a fitting opportunity to play around with breaking up the text in a similar fashion. (A Google Image search should provide a rough idea of what I'm talking about for anyone who hasn't read the miniseries.)

Pipe Dope's all about trying out new (for me, at least) things.

...And I'm officially back at it! The wedding and honeymoon both went swimmingly, and I'm now back home and once again burning the midnight oil over the ol' drawing board--only now it's as a married man. How 'bout a "Huzzah!" for my understanding wife?

Once again, I'm scheduling this post before the wedding and honeymoon. Tomorrow's post (#128) will be the first I've put together since returning, so maybe then I'll have a good story to tell. I hope you stop back to find out!

And we're back! I'm actually writing this before the wedding and honeymoon, so I can't say yet how things shook out, but I'm sure it all went swimmingly. More Pipe Dope tomorrow!
