The biggest enemy of meeting deadlines isn't laziness. It's the false belief that badly drawn bits aren't allowed. Wanna draw everything perfectly? Then be a cover artist. Spend days on one image. Wanna tell a story? Then make friends with ERROR. The best comics storytellers aren't best because they always draw perfect, but because they get into a flow, and roll right along, face forward.

Happy Hamm Tips Tuesday!
Today we're highlighting this incredible volume of Jesse's writing on Alex Toth, available for just $5 on Gumroad. In Jesse's own words:
Over the years, I've written several essays about master cartoonist Alex Toth, focusing on his strengths and methods. I've compiled everything I've written into one 106 page PDF. Included here are seven essays, an obituary I wrote for The Comics Journal, and excerpts from several conversations I've had in the comments sections at my blog, where I answer questions from readers about the man and his work. All told, there are 15,300 words, plus illustrative images and diagrams.
Other books collect Toth's work and describe his life, but if you've ever wanted a book-length, in-depth discussion of Toth's methods, here it is.
