That author’s name has to be a word scramble of some sort. I’m not good at untangling that sort of thing, though. So I must leave this detective work to others. Possibly a code-cracking dietitian.

Oh, I'd say it's time.

Nope-- it's a retractable leash, and we live in a VERY low-traffic area. Anytime a car approaches from either direction, I draw in the leash and keep doggo by my side. When there's no cars around, I let him roam to the leash's 15' length.

Pro tip for all those working-the-weekend cartoonists: get out for a walk. If you have a pal to take with you, so much the better. Either way, you’ll come back to the work fresher.

And yes, Bowie Nation. I know it's "not as good as Ziggy". Not really the point, at least not for me.

I’ve always admired this beach house along my walk route, there they have a replica statute of the famous Greek “Winged Victory” positioned as if it was the masthead of their house/ship. 10/10 style points.

Hope we all find enough moments of peace and reason to keep taking steps forward in these ugly times.

Glimpse of a moment where, much to Mercy's astonishment, things seem to be going well. Doubtless it'll all be smooth sailing from here, I betcha.

It does, 💯. Also, as an artist himself, Alan was a natural “visual thinker”. So while his scripts wee always endured with character emotions, and conceptual thinking, and intellectual flights, he always had a figurative eye on “How can this work visually on the page?”

Ron Randall @ronrandall.bsky.social · 14d

Thanks to @stevelieberart.bsky.social for uncovering this thread I posted a while back about my experience working from Alan's script: bsky.app/profile/ronr...

WORKING WITH ALAN MOORE. I finally uncovered this splash page from "Abandoned Houses", my only solo art job on an Alan SWAMP THING script. It's been suggested to me to share some impressions on what that experience was like. So, what follows is my semi-deep dive 1/9

Not at all, Mark, quote awya if you find anything here useful.

Ron Randall @ronrandall.bsky.social · 14d

This is good, I want to read more. Seriously, I’ve written before about working from Moore’s scripts. And they were, in my experience, unique in his ability to give a lot of suggestions for visual approach without ever seeing dictatorial. Unique. Which means, in general, Kids, don’t try this at home
