COLOR MY WORLD
March 9th, 2006
I’m a cartoonist, not an animator or a board artist. So when it comes time to tell a story, I always gravitate toward the comic strip and/or comic book format. When you’re talking little boxes, dialogue balloons, and onomatopoeia, you’re definitely talking my language.
When I first sent “Super John Doe Junior” to Frederator, it was a 17-page comic book, 12 panels per page. Here are a couple of those panels (hand-colored to look a little more snazzy on the blog). I’ve since edited the original story and created a more conventional storyboard, but we’ll be hiring a real board artist once we get into production.
All for today. So long, friends.

Wow Lincoln, you made a comic book? How lung must that have taken you? -Steve

It wasn’t a super-slick comic book, believe me. It was just b&w pages, photocopied. But it did the trick! All told, it probably took me about a month to produce.

Lincoln, it was nice talking with you on the phone before the staff meeting. Super John Doe Junior is looking SUPER! Can’t wait to see more!

Thanks, Russ. Great talking to you, too. Of course, I may very well have missed some of what you were saying because of the conference call “white noise.”
