Writing with Post-it Notes.
Here on Page 6 the action ends, and we start getting into intensive dialog and character interaction. Something I always find difficult to write for comics. However on this page I’ve started experimenting with writing the dialog on post-it notes, taking the cue from they way they used to do storyboards in these parts for animation. Doing it this way allows for endless re-organizing of the word bubbles making the editing and visualization of the final page super simple. I think I’m going to work like this more often.

Thanks Jay! The image of the page sitting there on the drawing board with post-it notes on it for some reason fascinated me as well. At some point I’d like to more thoroughly document the “making of” process. One of these days…

Fascinating stuff. It’s astonishing to realise how much work goes into these brilliant comics – it’ll only increase my enjoyment of them!
