NOTES: Ahh, we finally visit the big city – the city of Ralston (no brand-name prejudice there, it just sounded right, like “Lake Kellogg” or “Nabisco Flats” sounded right). Marvel at its many wonders! Gasp at the artist’s clubfooted grasp of elementary perspective! Yeah, not too proud of how that shot came out, but I [...]
Book One, Page 28
NOTES: Yeah, I like this page a lot. For one, I just think I enjoyed drawing another character-based conversation scene between my two lead protagonists and, silly as it sounds given premise and backdrop, I liked presenting a glimpse into their psyches. Death, fear, insecurity, hope and determination – heavy stuff, man. And a bit [...]
Book One, Page 27
NOTES: I liked having the Freakies Tree represent a sort of Boot Hill for Cerealia and now regret that I never returned to it at the end to show how many more graves it would have. In the top panel, one of my earliest George Perez-lite “spot the character” panels, you get your first glimpse [...]

NOTES: The whole layout of this page was an intentional callback to page 5 (go take a look!) from the vision of Crunch in the flame like Buzz Bee in the scrying cereal bowl to the frame around the central characters (lucky charms instead of Celtic spoons and bowls). And here we finally see Lucky [...]

NOTES: I like this page. Anytime I can take a beat and let the emotional impact of some dramatic plot point sink in, I’m all for it. And this is my favorite drawing of the Cap’n I did for the whole series. Even with what looks like the aftermath of a Gallagher performance behind him, [...]

NOTES: Chocula the master manipulator! Not much to note on this page other than Brunnhilde proving, yet again, to be tougher than her fellow crewman Alfie. Oh, and I’m fond of the mirrored forms in the last two panels: Ayummayumma’s hand and the cup, the king’s slumping body and Crunch’s posture.
Book One, Page 23
NOTES: Here’s a page I’m particularly proud of. Throughout the series I would set little artistic challenges for myself. One thing in comics art you don’t often see is a 12 panel page (unless you’re Chris Ware and routinely offer up 36 panel pages). Obviously the panels are so small by this point that the [...]
