Reflections

I've been reading two excellent books -- Will Eisner's "A Contract with God" -- the very first graphic novel, and Ivan Brunetti's "Cartooning, Philosophy and Practice" that is organized as a syllabus and 15 lessons in cartooning. They are both excellent, and leave me humbled at what I think I am able to do without a conceptual framework for the medium or technique for production. Too late now -- I am intent upon finishing so I can find out how MY story ends!

I take heart from this quote from Brunetti (p. 49), "A comics page reflects the way the author remembers his own experience of reality, the flow of time, the importance of people. places, and things."
