Hooray for silly comics!! And - PROSE? Not a script for a show or a comic but... *JUST PROSE*? 😱🤯 (I am joking dramatically; personally hoping it's a novel or something) :3

Auuugh as someone who also primarily draws comics but writes prose sometimes, it’s so frustrating to have to describe characters’ emotions in an accurate, communicative but not too on-the-nose way instead of just… drawing them 😭

Too relatable. But you'll crush it. Can't wait to see what's next.

You make me want to be a comic creator so badly 😅 But I have none of the skills 😭

Haha! Reminds me of all the animation writers who start a description with “A large crowd…” and then pass it off to the board artists while they go for lunch.

Be careful around pianos, those things are dangerous! (But they're pretty tame compared to the sax and violins... 😏 )

Oh gods this is too real! Not that I use my animation degree for animation, but even going from illustration to prose and back is a trip 😅
