Prehistory of The Far Side: "Look at this weird thing that was more than the newspapers could handle!" Calvin and Hobbes 10th Anniversary: "God drat, do I hate drawing comics."

I get that you're exaggerating for comic effect, but I honestly have no idea what statements you're exaggerating. I just remember a lot of stuff about how to write good characters and what worked and what didn't

I remember one of those books having a foreword about how Far Side comics are super popular with scientists and academics. I remember going around university and they have Far Side comics pinned up the same way you see Dilbert around offices. Especially the ones that involve scientific topics. Something about how the whole sense of humour resonates with the scientific worldview.

They do work in rather different formats with different tones and themes, can imagine Larson's style was generally less of an issue.

cant cook creole bream posted:How did these become good? Did my brain change? As I’ve said, pfsc is a slow burn. It takes a while to hit its stride, but it’s finally there. It helps that, at this point, the comic is familiar and we know what to expect from it. Looking back at the earliest strips, I always get a smile from the one where Paul says that Paris is just another bullshit town. Yes, that is a plot hole. I don’t know what’s up with that. The comic originally did have mouseover text, since lost to the ages. Maybe they hand waved it away in there, maybe not.

Nah, he's a great artist who had his preferences for how he liked creating that art and that's fine. He's also a principled guy who wasn't interested in exploiting his art beyond the scope of the work itself. Sometimes—and it is rare—but sometimes people do make the right choices for the right reasons. And I'll cut him a break for that at the least.

Watterson's main complaint was that newspapers kept cramming comics into smaller and smaller spaces, so artists kept having to draw simpler and less visually interesting comics. Calvin & Hobbes was popular enough that he could insist on some hard rules about how small newspapers were allowed to print his Sunday strip (and thus other strips on the same page), so he was less affected by the trend than others, but he still Had Opinions about the way the newspaper comics industry was going.

the main thing I remember from the calvin and hobbes 10th anniversary book is one of the comics of calvin blowing up his school with a caption mentioning the complaints he got, and wondering if those readers ever went to school themselves
