I was asked by a friend yesterday if I could offer basic tips about comic paneling. As it turns out, I have a lot to say on the matter! I tried breaking down the art of paneling using the principles of art and design, and I hope it helps you out!

EDIT: uh uh there are a lot of people reblogging this, so i figure i may as well append this now while i can lol

This whole thing was very much cranked out in a few hours so I had a visual to talk about with a friend! If this gives you a base understanding of paneling, that's awesome! Continue to pull in studies from the comics you see and what other artists do well and don't do well! You can tell paneling is doing well when the action is flowing around in its intended reading format.

Here's the link to the globalcomix article from which I pulled the images about panel staggering! Someone sent in a reblog that it wasn't totally clear that the 7th slide mostly covers what NOT to do in regards to staggering, and that is my mistake!

I saw in a tag that someone was surprised I used MamaYuyu too, and I don't blame them lol. If I had given myself more than a couple hours maybe I would have added something else on, I just really admire MamaYuyu's paneling personally.

uh uh, final append: I am by no means a renowned master of paneling, so if you find anything off base here, by all means, counter it with your own knowledge and ways you can build upon from here! Art is always a sum knowledge of everything we find. 💪

Are there historic examples of people’s obsession with pop culture becoming religious? Snapewives and the like can’t just be a new thing right

That's hard to say. It would depend on what you mean by "pop culture" because I'm not sure if that meaningfully existed before the advent of mass media.

Like, you can point to myriad examples of a cultures mythology being "officially" syncretized into a religious structure, but I don't think Islam incorporating Persian mythology is quite the same as the Snapewives. That would be an overly-broad comparison, and I'm not sure it's what you're looking for.

You're looking for examples of like, a fandom becoming so insular it spiritualizes itself, right? You might be able to find similar phenomena around say, popular plays, but I think the nature of mass media and modern ideas about "fandom" make things like the Snapewives a very modern phenomena.

Okay, what about fans of Byzantine chariot racing teams becoming de facto political parties?

[cryptotheism]

You know, that's a pretty good comparison! I wonder if the blues/greens ever had niche splinter groups that formed isolated high-control cults.

buisinesses mislabeling their job offers in databases gives so much unintentional comedy, I just searched under "no experience needed" and "no degrees needed" and it gave me a job opening for 'dentist'. Like sure I'll have a go, give me the pliers

I know I don't shut up about this but frankly not enough people are angry about the 5-day/40 hour workweek (and I am AWARE a lot of people work even more than that). I feel like a lot more people should be absolutely furious that we only really have two days a week and some occasional hours in the evening to socialise, run errands, do chores, or relax.

It's no wonder so many people are profoundly lonely and disconnected from their communities when maintaining a social life in what little free time we have is incredibly difficult. If you have kids, a second job, a very long commute, or other responsibilities, it's nearly impossible.

We literally aren't meant to live like this and I'll never stop being shocked how many people just take it as the natural state of things and don't want to throw a brick through a billionaire's window every time they think of it.

u know someone’s about to get dragged through the mud when an academic uses the phrase ‘it’s tempting to assume’

[apricops]

“it’s tempting to assume” is academic speaking for “you might think, if you’re a fucking idiot,”
