The History Of Comics With Q-boy #65

The Last Distraction Of Distraction Lass (Sketch)

Sorry don’t got a full panel done yet. I’m trying out a new way of doing these comics where you setup all the word balloons first. That way you can then draw around the word balloons so they don’t block out all the art. For many people who make comics its a huge no-brainer, but I always drew the comics then tried to fit in the word balloons. Then I got slightly smarter and at least did narration boxes first.

With that said, doing it this way makes getting to the actual drawing part take longer. This here is my thumbnail/writing phase of the comic. Usually I post these on Twitter and Instagram on afternoons. You can see that I already altered the original title.

Tomorrow-Thursday check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” and we’ll have another update on this comic on Friday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Q-boy Short Holiday Special 2 – The Dimes Before Christmas… A Contest For Every Piece On Earth (Censored)

Q-boy Short Holiday Special 2 –  The Dimes Before Christmas… A Contest For Every Piece On Earth (Censored)

I honestly would like to do more holiday comics but I usually forget about it until it’s too late.  Christmas though is advertised so far in advanced that I actually have time to make one.  So I was racking my brain trying to come up with idea for a Christmas themed comic, and I woke one day and thought of “Superman: Peace On Earth” by Alex Ross, and then I thought of most of the rhymes which I quickly jotted them down.  I had recently rewatched Felicia Day’s web series “The Guild” on DVD and there was a special feature where they did their version of “The Night Before Christmas” so that inspired the rhymes.  Then I got the daunting/scary idea of actually trying to do the comic in a painted style like Alex Ross.  So I based the panels of the comic the following Alex Ross images…

So that’s that.  Since this will be the last post for this year I’d like to thank you all for reading these comics, and give an extra special thank you to all of you who have liked, retweeted, favorited, or shared these comics in any way.  I seriously appreciate it more than you can know.

As I mentioned in the last post I’ll be changing the name of these “Q-boy Shorts” comics to “The History Of Comics With Q-boy”.  Some other big plans for next year are the return of “The Bastardized Ninja” and the launch of a third comic “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. This new comic will be sorta like heroes and villians talking in the confessional room in a reality show. The plan for now is to continue the Q-boy comics until I get to the end of the Silver Age of Comics and then to take a break.  During that break The Bastardized Ninja comics will be posted.  With this new comic “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” the plan is to post these comics 3 times a week between posts of the other comics… We’ll see how it goes.  Anyways I hope you enjoy, happy holidays and have a great new year!

Oh yeah and I saw Star Wars yesterday and it kicked ass!

So what’s this one all about you might ask.  Well this one is referencing a guy named Bill Finger who co-created Batman, and may have done a lot of the heavy lifting in that but isn’t given as well known as he should be and wasn’t given much of the credit.  The big panel at the end is based on the cover of a comic where Superman and Shazam fought as shown below…

Another comic that recently did a homage to this cover is The Hero Business. Click the link check it out.  We’ll definitely be seeing more of Kill-Man (and Q-girl getting drunk) over time.  Next time we’ll find out who “The Emperor” and “The Guy” are, and we’ll sorta meet a new character… Oh and a certain monster that appeared once before returns.  Seriously though should it be “Kill-man” and “The Kill-man”?  Anyways hope you enjoy and see ya next time.
