When I was playing Higurashi there were nicknames I'd use for certain characters when talking about it with friends... and to this day I still have to be mindful to not call Satoko 'clover totally spies'

Revised the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture. 1/2

Text: TANGENTS
In geometry, a tangent is when a line touches a curve at a single point.
(images illustrating this, with a curve and a circle touching the lines)
The point where they touch is called the tangent. in a drawing, this is what I call a “bump-up” tangent (more on that
later), but the term “tangent” is a bit more flexible when applied to visual art.
When an artist (or art critic, or art teacher, etc) mentions a tangent, they’re generally referring to any relationship between lines (or elements) in a drawing that interact in a way that the artist didn’t intend.
When I was a teacher, I found it helpful to differentiate the various offenses that fell under the catch-all term “tangents” and give them each a name, to make identification of problem areas in a drawing easier.

An earlier version of these examples was published online in 2011 under the title “The Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents.”

Text:
Long-Line Tangent
The “long-line” tangent is when the line from one subject in the drawing leads into the line of another.
(image where the line from a figure's wide-brimmed hat"becomes" the line of the roof)
See how the hat of this fella runs into the line of the roof? that’s bad!
(image where they do NOT intersect)
Not so bad!
Try to avoid near-tangents, too! Even if a line doesn’t actually connect with another, “close” isn’t great, either.
(image illustrating this point using the same iconography as above)

Text:
Bump-Up Tangent
A bump-up tangent is when one element of a drawing bumps up against another.
(image where the outside a figure's elbow touches a wall)
When the bump-up is the result of different subjects touching, correct it by making one clearly overlap the other.
(Same image repeated twice, but in one the elbow is in front of the wall, and in the other behind it)
Either of these works just fine!
Sometimes using the principle of “what’s closer?” overlap won’t always be the best solution. you can do that (like the nose in the example) or you can just redraw the offending lines (like the lapel).
Images: a drawing with tangents, and that same drawing with the tangents eliminated

Text:
Beyond just the drawing itself, make sure to avoid bumping your image against the formal components of the comic: word balloons, sound effects, panel borders, etc. They’re in the image, therefore, regardless of what stage they’re introduced into the art, they’re PART OF THE COMPOSITION, and need to be treated as such.

(Image: example drawing where the balloon and panel borders are creating bump-up tangents with the drawing)

There are many publishers who insist on live (editable) balloons and dialogue text to make easier foreign sales and online publishing; I vehemently disagree with this approach, because it makes flexible what should be the sole purview of a cartoonist: the intersection of lines in the art, and lines in the art, like it or not, iNCLUDE the lines that surround a word balloon.

For this reason, LETTERiNG SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE iNKS. Then your inks can accommodate the balloons. This was standard practice until the advent of digital lettering, and while there’s nothing wrong with digital lettering, its placement in the pipeline order generally results in a poorer overall comic than would be the case were it done between the roughs/pencils stage and the inks.

Yeah well I grew up in a mushroom village, so I’m not really used to how you do things. We used big giant mushrooms as our houses. We used bioluminescent mushrooms as lamps. And we didn’t try to change the plan last second if the other person already made reservations I guess that’s normal here

Both boxes have a picture of an Impostor twirling their mustache.
