Abbott's Comix

The book was, in fact, Scott McCloud's Making Comics. And, that is an interesting fact, Ward. I had been drawing everything same size, which I think is pretty obvious? It's really hard to write legibly that small.

I think the only comic I didn't think was drawn at the usual size was the "Bazooka Joe" comics in the bubblegum wrappers.

bump for fun

Abbott, word on the street is that you might be putting together a comic for J0rd4n+Ju5t1n3?

bumpin'

Yes, after I do another project for them (which I have actually done another picture for hai guyz).

we're pretty much just going to be the publishing arm of abbott's comic art empire.

i'm so so confused

That was delightful. And fairly accurate, from what I recall.

yep! <3 it

awesome

lol @ CVB quote

ok I think in reality the best thing about it is this feedback from my Dad: "Funny, but the Beach Boys were actually on the beach at least once as is manifested by their picture of them in front of their woody and with surfboards on one of their albums. I was a kid when they came out. We wore white pegged pants and played with yoyos while listening to the Beach Boys."

this is exactly what I wanted the Great Pop Things book to be and it mostly wasn't (a few minor classix tho and I still regret lending it to someone and not getting it back)

the "astral plane" caption is possibly my favourite sentence ever

<3

That ruled abbs

I don't get it? "Chat" is pronounced "shah", does that mean something in English?

It's a reference to a refrain in a song in the musical Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda. You'd probably enjoy it - it's the story of US founding father Alexander Hamilton, in which every role is taken by a performer of colour, most of the lyrics are rapped, and is riddled with quotes from classic hip-hop songs.

Biggest new hit on Broadway this year, and highest-selling original cast recording since Camelot.

(I enjoyed Abbott's cartoon, and would have been likewise baffled if I hadn't seen the show the day after learning it existed, two months ago.)

Okay, thanks for the explanation and the link (dope tune, btw!), I get it now! But isn't the "t" in the French word silent, so it doesn't actually sound like "shot"?

ok the Cat in the Hat lied to me about the pronunciation :(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLgJvqyZNjs

also sic I am sooo jealous you have seen Hamilton

I'm sorry about my pedanticism... Maybe the North American French pronounce it differently though? :)

my French is terrible but the t isn't silent when followed by a vowel, also iirc in a lot of francophone songs they pronounce the silent letters which suggests to me that the French, unlike the Finnish, employ poetic license

If it's a girl cat, it could be une chatte.
