When I was volunteering at the COVID19 vaccine POD in 2021, people would say over and over again that they were getting vaccinated for the people they love. Last year, only 17.5% of American adults got the COVID19 vaccine. Please get one for the people you love. 💕

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...

Apropos of I am VERY mad for a friend: If you have not made a comic book before and are coming from other media writing, GET A COMICS EDITOR. Comics looks easy. There are 1,000 sins you will commit if you haven't written a comic before and an editor will save your ass.

Garffeld Pt 5

A three panel Garfield comic drawn in medieval style: panel one, Friar Lyman is speaking to Friar Jon, “A companion has joined me on my travels.”; panel two, a yellow dog bounds into frame, Garffeld looks shocked, off-panel Lyman says, “Come, Wodin!”; panel three, Garffeld is crouched in a corner, thinking, “Oh, God’s wounds.”

Garffeld

Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”

Hiii it's my birthday! If anyone wants to read Sunset Phoenix, my comic about a hapless criminal spy and her immortal crimelord boss being framed for the murder of a rival immortal and hunting down the real killer, that would be a great bday present XOXOXO ♥❤♥❤

A comic panel of an action sequence in a tunnel. In the foreground, a single tire has been stopped on a glowing white square, and the rest of the car has been flung forward by momentum. The car is scratching the roof of the tunnel as it flies through the air. Just out of the car's trajectory is Valentine and Emilia on a motorcycle, driving away.

Valentine is lying down against a white background. Emilia's hand is against the base of Valentine's neck. Valentine is holding Emilia's arm and looking pitifully into the camera. She's in shadow, and rain drops look like stars against her. "I don't want to ruin you" Says a speech bubble pointing to her.
