Beginnings
Posted on April 19, 2007 by Juan
Somehow, this scene got gradually more depressing everytime I rewrote it, till the point that it has little to do with the way I first pictured it. (mostly a little exercise on silent frames, but as you see, the sadistic narrator appeared and spoiled the future of the otherwise happy new couple...) Who knows, maybe there'll be a sequel to this that proof that the smartass is wrong after all. Next week, a new comic.

    …”Amor vencido”/ Una Muñeca Rusa/ Adolfo Bioy Casares…el mismo patron de viñeta ausente: the same Sunday.

    Very nice, Juan Santapau, you make me proud every day I read this. I especially like the way the candle migrates in each panel.

    Enjoying the continuity issues, huh?

    Yes, because for people with OCD, it brings the focus on the candle, and you begin to realize why it is significant. You could create so much on the theory of why the candle is moving.

    I hope the same thing too. I hope the sequel got a happy ending, not only to prove to the narrator he was wrong, but to see another end, one that doesn’t match with reality.
    Excelent work, as always. I’m already expecting the next one!.
    Parchesians Greetings!.

    The idiom is “to make sense”, not “to have sense”.
