What a great Doctor Who episode this season finale of Strange New Worlds turned out to be…

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.

MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

I cannot understand how Strange New Worlds is the same show made by the same people episode to episode… that puppets episode was pure dreck. But then the next one is somehow great? The characters don’t even act like the same characters half the time.

Enjoyed SPIDER-NOIR eps 1+2 and am looking forward to watching more, but it's a damn shame the creators of the Spider-Man Noir comic didn't even get a Special Thanks in the credits. David Hine, Fabrice Sapolsky, Carmine Di Giandomenico and designer Marko Djurdjević deserve that at the very least.

So I found this at the library bookstore. Part of their $3 for a plastic shopping bag full from the paperback room… it had this funky little card in it

The Snake by Mickey Spillane. Next to it is a small card that reads, “A Handy Reminder For Gifts For Her”.

A wallet sized card with the heading:
A Handy Reminder For Gifts For Her

Below that a Chart with spots to fill in a woman’s measurements for; height, weight, neck, bust wrist, waist, hips, calf, ankle, complexion, hair, and eyes.

Also her size for; dress, shoes, gloves, belt, bra, hose, ring, hat, slip, blouse, and coat.

A wallet sized card with a calendar for 1977.

Once again the library book store for the win! $9 total and that Paper Girls HC was .50¢ I actually feel bad about that… like I stole it or something. It’s in fantastic shape. Also I think I’ve developed a used book problem 🫣🤷🏻‍♂️

Latest read… had to finish it up to get it back to the library today. The movie was (and still is) an all-time favorite and a certified classic. The comic didn’t disappoint.
