0002 Outrageous slander!

Hiddy-ho.

Thought that perhaps I could go faster if I dropped color and stuck to black and white.

But, really the way I tone… it’s about the same…
Save a few hours per strip, but not much.

Maybe the way manga’s usually done with one or two shade, but that’s really cheap and my drawings, rather the line quality I care to use, can’t seem to support it.
Anyway, color’s more pretty.
So it’s fast as I can go, with the final goal of daily pages when I can get my groove going…

Time lapse vid’s coming up, for now take a look at his trailer for a very serious movie that shared the cinema halls with Godfather, Au Pair Girls (1972).

And here be the making of Vid…

The Dreyfus Affair: “J`Accuse” and Other Writings

Transcript

PAGE 0002 (9 PANELS)
Panel 1. Idgie theatrically points at the Alderman.

IDGIE:
Alderman Marcus Whitmore, J’accuse!

ALDERMAN:
What, what!?

Panel 2-5. Four square boxes, showing Idgie’s conjecture of the murder.

IDGIE:
He had the motive, she being the only heir to the Schuiler fortune and he deep in debt.

Private gambling debt, known only to nefarious Underground Poker & Bear Baiting Clubs.
The opportunity, when he moved the annual Hunting & Stumping regalia closer from
Schenectady to Poughkeepsie.

And missed the hunt by conveniently shooting himself in the face in Yonkers!

Panel 6. Alderman very mad, Inspector pondering, Constable stares at him and Alderman’s man walks away from the scene.

INSPECTOR:
Ah, Émile Zola, yes, quite droll.

ALDERMAN:
Outrageous SLANDER!

Panel 7. The Constable grabs the man on the shoulder, Idgie and the Inspector confer, and the Alderman rants away to frightened Nell.

INSPECTOR:
Quite possible, but the means, Miss Schtankpumpe, you have no means, the house was locked in, sealed, we confirmed this ourselves.

ALDERMAN:
Lies, I say lies, I loved that old battle ax!

NELL:
Oh, oh dear.

Panel 8. Same scene from the other side. Idgie smirks.

ALDERMAN:
Where’s the proof, you’ve got nothing on me! Nothing!

INSPECTOR:
Yes, reputation aside, you must provide more…

Panel 9. Close up of Idgie’s hands, finger points to a device on the other hand.

IDGIE:
Ah-hem.

    Added a link to the Emile Zola book on amazon. Classy!

    Classier than the J-list ads on the right hand side, at any rate.

    Please note the voting banner on the right hand side. You CAN vote for more than one comic, you know, the restriction only applies to voting more than once for the same comic.

    When I read “Alderman”, I misread it as “Alderney” and so was wondering for a few seconds, ‘what’s this bloke gotta do with milk cows???’

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear-baiting

      “Bear-baiting was popular in England until the nineteenth century. From the sixteenth century, many herds of bears were maintained for baiting. In its best-known form, arenas for this purpose were called bear-gardens, consisting of a circular high fenced area, the “pit”, and raised seating for spectators. A post would be set in the ground towards the edge of the pit and the bear chained to it, either by the leg or neck. A number of well-trained hunting dogs would then be set on it, being replaced as they tired or were wounded or killed. In some cases the bear was let loose, allowing it to chase after animals or people.”
