A scene from The Odyssey where Penelope stands before the suitors, but Tim Robinson has been added in. It’s a reference to I Think You Should Leave. Penelope says “Ronnie, I feel like you’re just here for the zip line” and Tim Robinson says “what?”

Writing indie komiks from the PHL 🇵🇭, the biggest hurdle to reaching readers is ultimately distribution. Indeed, in the coming months, we plan to put this comic online, where anyone can read it for free. But it's no substitute for the printed page, which is why we're so proud of this edition! 3/

…with @bskynirenren.bsky.social, I can't imagine the piece any other way. I am such a big fan of Renren, and she goes ABSOLUTELY HAM!!!! in these pages! Her illustrations alone are more than worth the price of admission, and together with the words, I think they do something really special. 3/4

🖼️ Between Panels, my short comic with @bskynirenren.bsky.social, is now available at NIF! 🛒: nif-shop.cartoonist.coop/products/bet... It's a graphic essay about making comics in, on, and through history. 🌏 (It's also the closest I'll EVER get to writing about myself 🫣) Between Panels was… 1/4

A rough pencil sketch of a comic or graphic novel cover titled “Between Panels.” The hand-drawn lettering is arranged in large block letters, with the “A” in “PANELS” replaced by a padlock icon. Below the title are the credits “Written by Scott Lee Chua” and “Illustrated by Ren2x Galeno.” A sketched masked character in a cap appears in the lower left corner, pointing upward, while construction lines and layout guides remain visible throughout the unfinished design.

A Spanish galleon pulls into a port as the narrator says, “At the height of the Spanish empire, a strange galleon made landfall at Manila carrying nothing but cacao. The port officials marveled at its ornate carvings, its gleaming hull, its sails of finest Chinese silk.” A senior inspector in conquistador armor asks, “Point of origin?” as he fills out a form. A woman on the ship calls out, “Punta de Panamao… a small town hidden away on the southern coast of the isle of Panamao.” The inspector looks up, startled, and smitten by her beauty. In the next panel, a jar of New World Chocolates on a checkout counter is shown as the narrator describes that “As the cacao was rumored to have healing powers, it was soon all sold, and the galleon departed. A week later, the senior inspector abandoned his post and sailed to Panamao, which we know today as Biliran.” The young narrator and an old man, his grandfather, are at a shop buying the cacao powder as the narrator continues, “When he arrived, however, there was no shipyard… no galleon… and, of course, no girl.”

A volcano emitting a plume of smoke towers over a field of sugarcane, with cacao trees in a separate panel, and rice plants in another panel, as the narrator describes the scene, “There was cacao, though. And rice. And sugarcane. Crops enough to make tsamporado in the shade of Mt. Biliran, a thousand meters high.” The volcano of Mt. Biliran is shown from above twice, with smoke coming out of it, and then with lava flowing down its sides. “In 1901, an American geological survey noted something concerning: That the volcano on the island was bigger than the records had led them to believe; that Biliran itself was a massive underwater volcano, and Mt. Biliran merely a vent; that if they had done the survey earlier, maybe they could have caught it.” A surgeon stitches up a colostomy incision with as he says, “One last. Deep breath…” The old man is lying on a hospital bed. The surgeon asks the nurse, asks, “Gauze, please. Thank you.” The narrator as a child is reading comics in the background.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

II by Ren Galeno is a short, mostly silent comic in which a young woman is haunted by the eyes of babies and infants around her. It is powerful, effective, and the eventual reveal rewards recursive reading as you'll see more things that make sense. If you see it at a convention, go pick it up!
