Streusel – comics and art @streuselart.bsky.social · Feb 24

I haven't drawn a comic in a while. But making this one was really satisfying. I hope you like it as much as I do.

The image is a comic with three panels. In the first panel, a speech bubble points outward to the left, saying: "Too often, we think about the past..." Below it, a butterfly is flying to the left. In the second panel, a speech bubble points outward to the right, saying: "...or focus on the future..." Now the butterfly is flying towards the right side of the panel. In the final panel, the speech bubble points to a character, not seen in the previous two panels, and says: "...when we should be in the present." The character, who has big eyes, floppy ears, and no clothes, sits on the ground in a relaxed posture, holding their left arm up in midair and smiling contentedly. The butterfly has landed on the tip of their outstretched left index finger. The comic is rendered in subdued colors against a beige background.

I guess that because they used no colors, Sarah Andersen and Randall Munroe never made it. 🤨

And yet your linework, coloring and shading look so delightful!

As an aside, the way you captured the reflection in the glasses is excellent. It shows a careful attention to detail that is especially powerful in minimalist drawings. Well done!

Panel 3
Text Box: Last month...
Lester, in bed, stares up at the ceiling wide eyed with a look of deranged horror on his face.

Panel 4
Lester turns over in bed, still looking deranged.

Unspeakable indeed – and also very relatable. Could it be you are spying on me?

If you're interested in learning how many times Charles Schulz was rejected before his first Peanuts comic strip appeared in newspapers on October 2, 1950, I recommend listening to the Rejection Podcast episode about him: open.spotify.com/episode/0Rjp...

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

This image is a four-panel cartoon featuring a character with floppy ears and big eyes.

In the first panel, the character is holding onto a balloon string while floating up in the sky. The background is minimal, featuring a soft beige color with a few scattered clouds. The character looks surprised and slightly concerned as it ascends. Most of the upper part of the balloon extends beyond the top edge of the panel.

In the second panel, a small bird flies up to the character and asks, "What are you doing up here?" The character, still gripping the balloon string, looks at the bird with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty.

In the third panel, the character responds with a sheepish smile, saying, "Gee, I got carried away." The bird remains nearby, and the simple, clean background keeps the focus on the character’s expression.

In the fourth and final panel, the entire balloon is now visible, and it has the word "Imagination" written in bold letters across it. The character, still floating in the sky, holds onto the balloon with both hands while looking at the viewer with a wide, embarrassed grin.

Das Markieren von anderen Menschen offenbart von jeher eine einfache Gesinnung und ein Unverständnis darüber zu wessen Geistes Kind man sich damit macht.
