Click on the image to read it more clearly. A very light hearted attempt to play with the idea of a comic strip which can flesh out words in a very real way, when it is done properly. Not in this case of course as the drawings are just to fill in the idea and play with the box spaces. I have always loved comic strips as a way of telling stories. I think in the hands of good artists the story really springs to life. Would the words (alone) of Frank’s tale be enough? I think the visuals add something that enables one to attach to a character and enables things to be said more succinctly. I drew this to make a point to myself about character creation. I have no drawing skills obviously but in some ways that echoes the bewildered state of Frank I think.
