Lucho Olivera and his assistants were on fire back in the day
Steranko color guides for Our Love issue 5.

The cover to a paperback collection of Dennis the Menace strips with him on the cover.
A 1959 tv guide cover featuring a young Jay North on the cover. He played Dennis in the tv show.
The Dennis the Menace comic strip by Hank Ketcham debuted on March 12, 1951. It would be adapted into a popular sitcom only eight years later, and eventually cartoons & films. He was also Dairy Queenβs official mascot from 1971 to 2001.
See also Blade (1998).
Rube Goldberg used to say of his profession, "We're vaudevilleans!" The humour tradition hung on to this approach much longer than adventure strips. You still see vestiges of it in the Beano.
I find looking at old newspaper strips (1890s-1910s) really interesting in this regard - the visual language is almost entirely theatrical. The panel is essentially a proscenium arch, the characters are normally drawn full-figure.
A comic series that i wish would get an English translation is Gilgamesh, The Immortal by Robin Wood and Lucho Olivera.
The fact that they are still common in comics in every other markets is a testament to how great they are.

I love how every character (major and background) shows personality in their movement and body language β the old man dozing off on the bench, the janitor, the young couple slow-walking, the parents dealing w/ their impatient kid eager to see the next thing, everyone on the sidewalk below.
Illustration of Logan (Wolverine) and Laura (X-23) based on their Logan (2017) versions. It's a masterful study in b&w and use of negative space.

In today's "libraries are amazing" news: You want a creepy photo from the 1928 World Book Encyclopedia? Internet Archive! You want a 1921 St. Paul city ordinance? Hathi Trust! Oh, they didn't scan 1922 -- walk to the law library!
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

An EXCELLENT reason never to use AI tools in your writing. It doesn't just change HOW you express yourself, it can prompt you to change what you mean in the first place.
What I'm suggesting is: you should not be using Grammarly.
Going through old Nippur De Lagash pages.

Fair point
Hereβs a flip thru of the upcoming COPRA Master Collection 2 β Iβm telling you, it came out perfectly. Iβm not just saying that because I wrote & drew the damn thing, itβs an impressive artifact by any measure.
Spread the word, we wanna make sure stores are stocked up!

there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive
You would think the people who are obsessed with the economy would at the very least realize that war is less profitable than open trade
Yes, Iβm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.
