Is the original really “comics” or is it more like a manuscript page, and not comics until its reproduced?
When it comes down to it, comics are one of the most labor-intensive and skills-intensive art forms there are.
A lot of boy cartoonists, especially, manage to have a crew who also do comics or like comics with whom they can figure stuff out.
My drawing, like that of most cartoonists, is intended first of all to be functional: to create believable space, and communicate information.
