man I just !!!!!!!! ADORE comics they're a whole pain in the ass to make and I curse my way through the process 90% of the time but there was really no other way for me to tell stories like there was really no other path nothing makes me as happy as a well crafted comic not even good animation there's no better format than comics for me

#im not saying they're the best format objectively I'm saying a good comic sends me into outer space always #and the range is so wide because anyone and everyone can write a comic #i don't remember who it was but a mangaka for sure #that said they write comics because they're not good enough at drawing for illustration work #and not good enough at writing for writing a book #was it the szs author in kakushigoto? maybe?#but that's TRUE the comic format is forgiving more than most others when telling a story #because a lot of the times people will just breeze through them without giving the craft too much thought #so anyone can make a decent comic which meand that anyone Does #and that means in turn that sometimes you forget that some people #some people are GOOD at comics #they're EXCELLENT at comics #and then you read a very very VERY good comic #I #I read a very very VERY good comic #and suddenly I'm like this is the only format ever #because it's true you don't need to be good at much to write a comic but an exceptional comic artist has to be #SO GOOD #at composition and simplification and understanding the medium they're using #comics give you so much freedom to do what you want which means you can actually fuck it up extremely easily #I don't know how to explain it any better but comics are insane to me #and through my life I've always wanted to tell stories and to tell you the truth I'm way better at writing than i am at drawing #it comes easier to me the process just goes smoother #so i thought maybe i should write a book instead so many times #but no way man no way #there was no way I was ever not gonna try making comics even if i have to suffer my way through them #i love comics SO MUCH #bro #so damn much
