Do It Yourself Comic Strip
As some of you folks may know, back when I was still working out the mechanics of doing Evil Twin, I stumbled over an original Berke Breathed Bloom County comic strip, and discovered he had been using a stock, blueline comic panel layout with pre-drawn lettering spaces.
I immediately set about manufacturing a copy of that blank layout for myself.
And here it is.
This is the exact format and size I work to when creating Evil Twin, to give you an idea of just how far the art gets reduced before it hits the web.
So, now all you aspiring comic artists can make your own funny, using this handy dandy DIY kit.
Just drop it on a layer in your favorite art program, draw on the layer above it and you're off and rolling.
Just like the pros.
Well, like me anyway.

Uh..wow, Cobalt. Thanks. This is actually really, really cool. As silly as it may sound it makes me really happy knowing you went and did this. I know I went kinda overboard comparing your art to his >//> and I'm sorry about that but truth is it's nice knowing someone else out there appreciated his art. I don't really run into many folks who were into Bloom County :/
Anyways...thanks again. I've been wanting to draw a comic for awhile. I have a lot of respect for folks like you who manage to because omg it's not easy. I just hope my art gets good enough for me to take the time to do it some day. Right now it just takes so long for me to do anything decent. I get discouraged a lot.
