This one caught me by surprise, Peggy. Didn't think to click on the picture, I only did so by accident. That's a very fresh and interesting way to present a comic...Scott would be interested in that, I'm sure. I love the striking difference between the green panel (the one I rolled over first) and the pink panel. Nice curves as always and as you said, deceptively simple looking. Are the three panels meant to be seen in a specific order? It seems that the "never before breakfast" should come last, but I guess it doesn't have to. Imagine doing pages of comics where the panel sequence didn't matter at all...man, what a mindbender that would be. Very very interesting work here.
A little too obscure, I suppose. I went in and added an exhortation to "click" in what shows in the friends view now.
As a matter of fact, the title comes from one of the lines in Scott's "Understanding Comics" - the bit about "non sequitur" panel transitions. Do these link up? Does the proximity do it despite the thematic/color differences? They do for me. One single image from me usually generates a story in the viewer's head; three together beg to be explained.
And the fact that a side effect of the method I used to do the rollovers turned each panel into a link makes me wonder... where would they link? I can see making some kind of weird hypertextual comic based in this, even though the rollovers were an absolute random impulse anyway!
I drew the panels in the order of girl, lizard, note, but the order they need to be seen in is... inexplicable.
Thinking some more about it, this would be a cool approach to use when you don't want the subject of a given page to be explicitly displayed, such that each rollover 'panel' would refer to a common subject, but the subject itself would never be concretely displayed. For example, one page's subject might be "greed," but each panel would show an aspect of greed without ever using the word or being blatant...hmmmm...
I don't quite know what to add as a comment sometimes, I really like to observe what my friends conjure. Otherwise what most of what I have to say is cheesy and irreverent. This is really classy. And provocative.
Nosepilot, now that I think of it, was probably a definite influence in my current artistic direction. It crept into the back of my head and got forgotten.
