Book 1 – Ch.1 – Pg.9
Elliwiny: Before we did Opportunities I would do these flash comics, where you could control the panel progression with arrow keys! I loved how you could do stuff like… make somebody blink slowly or subtly change an expression with a click of the key without losing page real estate, if that makes sense. So especially in the early pages you see a lot of stuff like this, 3 panels where we zoom in on the same picture… and kind of a lot of wasted space! There was an effect I was trying to replicate, but I was also still learning how to effectively use the space offered by a “static” page layout!
Also, haha, Jack’s a dick.
Looks like panel three is the first time you focus on one of the more carnal “important future plot points”.
oh man great redirect with this page… initially read the zoo comment on the previous page to be that Jack simply doesn’t like california or something but it actually being distaste at seeing aliens is wild. bro look around. you’re in a space comic bro… interesting context too that the humans from earth might not actually see that many aliens in their daily lives??? also FDR memorial spaceport made me laugh they really said let’s all just keep remembering that one guy HAHAHA
