I live!

Only since yesterday really. The rest of the week I was completely incapacitated, so I’m still playing catch up on what is essentially a couple weeks worth of to-dos. So this week’s newsletter is going to be a little slim, but one thing I had to talk about is:

1. Shubeik Lubeik

Describing it as an atomic bomb wouldn’t be quite right, because it’s far more insidious. It’s more of an inconspicuous feather, carried by the winds until it finally lands ever so softly only to cause a ripple effect of mass destruction and hysteria. Of course describing this doorstop of a book as a feather might seem out of place. At over 500 pages it is a beast of a thing, the sight of which would strike fear and envy in the hearts of even the most accomplished cartoonist. The only lightweight aspect of this impressive tome is that of Deena's touch, daft and never heavy-handed.

But I’m getting ahead of myself here. What exactly is SHUBEIK LUBEIK?

2. Mouthfail, pg. 3

Yes, I may have conceived of this comic entirely as an excuse to tell the whole story using only thought balloons. I should probably mention that this was designed with print in mind, wherein this page would fall on the right-hand side. Hence, the gesture on the bottom left there essentially pointing at the bottom tier from last week’s page.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s installment. More next week. In the meantime, be sure to:

Many thanks and happy weekending,

Ganzeer
