Another little comic I made, this time a fusion between classic British anthology comic The Beano and the hit video game Bloodborne!

Proud of how this one turned out! The Beano was a big part of my childhood and I spend a lot of time thinking about the kinds of stories that were told in it…

Also if you think this comic is pretty neat, I am in fact available for commissions! Get in touch if interested :)

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

#to be clear I don't mean the heroes killing people #that's frankly a separate question #but bad guys come with collateral damage #even if they're nameless extras who are never described as more than a body in the street #and quite often the friends the hero meets along the way #will not all make it to the end #edit: actually I do also mean the heroes killing people #atla being so so so careful to show random mooks surviving and having the fire nation take prisoners all the time #vs animorphs going 'yeah we kill people. yeah we've got ptsd. what of it'#vs that one vivian vande velde book I read where the protagonist is really really stressed #about creeping up on a mook with a rock to bash him on the head #bc *what if she kills him?* she's just a teenager she doesn't know how brain trauma works she doesn't want to be a murderer #to be clear animorphs and this book are on the same page

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

during the last four days my aunt has somehow gotten me into telenovelas and can we be honest. hannibal is built like a telenovela (unhinged, violent, dramatic, the weirdest shit you’ve ever seen, etc)

#hannibal is a romcom first and foremost #but it has the sheer DRAMA AND AUDACITY of a telenovela #it’s the melodrama for me! <3 #in the telenovela we’re watching the main character literally bashes this other girl in the streets #and threatens to put a bullet between her eyes because the other girl was petty and wanted revenge #and I think if nbc hannibal was a little more unhinged than it already is that could’ve been will and bedelia #hannibal #nbc hannibal #ghost speaks

lisa saying ‘i love to see a woman sweat’ like that isn’t all she’s doing to this poor woman and NOT in the way that carla would appreciate

#swarla #coronation street spoilers #she’s so funny she’s so oblivious #you think you can outrun your feelings? you think you can hide from them?? when carla connor is hot on your heels looking like That?#you can’t open your mouth around her without revealing your most private fears!!#god but the dynamic is just perfect #how hard she tries to keep carla at arm’s length and then in the same breath ‘here are my internal thoughts that i share with nobody else on #the planet but you’#can’t stop herself can’t help it #she’s practically screaming LOOK AT ME #bashing my head against a wall about it i need the rest of this week’s episodes stattttt

MINNIE - 65 Years of Minxing! 2018 magazine celebrating 65 years of Beano icon Minnie the Minx. She was created by Leo Baxendale and Georgie Moonie (who was Beano editor from 1938 to 1939 and 1946–1959, d. 2002). Her strip originally appeared in black and white but letters from Moonie to Baxendale show that it was planned she would adopt the red and black colour scheme of Dennis the Menace should the strip be popular enough to move to the colour pages.

Baxendale (1930-2017) worked for The Beano up until 1964. His other main strips for the title were Little Plum, The Bash Street Kids and The Three Bears. His initial replacement on Minnie was Jim Petrie (1932-2014) who, I think, was the longest running artist on the strip and the one I would have been most familiar with.

DC Thomson.
