hahahahahah gonna text you before every flight i catch from now on to make sure there are no stomach aches

Brilliant as always - I recommend your Substack to my comics students every week!

Thanks so much Jane! That's so lovely to hear. Yes! Thanks.

So glad you’re getting over the cold, and thanks for this! I’d just been acquainted with 2-track, and this is a lovely variation. Thanks, and yay you!

I don't know the term 2-track! Where can I read about that? Is that a comics thing or a prose thing?

Also, thanks!!

There's a really great example of it on this excellent Substack I subscribe to--it's yours! You called it Parallel Narrative; I learned it by the name Two-Track Narrative in Sequential Artists Workshop. Your comic about cleaning out the roof gutter was one of the examples we learned from about this! So thanks again!

Haha! Thanks Suzan. Adding 2-track to the lexicon!

Very cool technique! Thanks for sharing this and for continuing to make awesome stuff. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Joshua! Feeling much better.

This is SO good!! Your work is brilliant!! And I'm excited to try this out!

Thanks Tor!!

You have the rare (to me at least) skill of consciously understanding what you’re doing and being able to articulate it.

Thanks man. That really only happens for me when I'm doing these exercises (which, to be fair, is a huge part of my comics practice) but doesn't happen as much when I work on longer, more personal stuff.
