Forget levitating groceries (see Page 10), Mindover Man can do some seriously heavy lifting when he throws his medulla oblongata into it (wow, I checked and I spelled that right on the first try!).
I’m still experimenting with a variety of ideas for drawing. After the last several pages being penciled only, then converted to an inked look in Adobe Illustrator, this time I sketched the drawing with a non-photo blue pencil, then inked with a super-fine Micron pen. I’ll mull it over and see which way works better.
Any of you who are iPhone users and readers of Hero is … um can access my strip with several others via the web app somewhat unfortunately named Stripr (comic strips, get it? Boy I hope that doesn’t bring in the wrong kinds of Google Ads). I added my feed to their list yesterday. If you add it to your phone and use it access this comic (and blog!), please bump me up with the arrows that accompany the listing. As for iPhone news, I’m drooling and likely to keep doing that until mine dies. No upgrade for me, what with the extra $10 a month for service with AT&T. I’m surprised no one in the media has put two and two together and noted that that extra fee technically makes the $199 3G iPhone more expensive over the full two years than my contract price for my first-gen 8GB version. Duh.
Now, I need to go back and re-read DC Comics’ Final Crisis number 1. I listened to the Comic Geek Speak review of that issue and heard about several things I apparently missed. Gotta love Grant Morrison’s non-linear, multi-layered script-writing.
