Snark Presents: How to Stupefy with Imagery that is Supposed to be a Comic

1. Don't use any perspective.

2. Don't even use a ruler.

3. Scratch that. Use a ruler for some things and arbitrarily stop using it for others.

4. Don't set up any vanishing points beforehand because you're not sure how to do that for an octagonal room.

5. If there is a blotch somewhere, just add a shadow there.

6. Make sure to draw your figures at inconsistent sizes and have their basic proportions fluctuate panel-to-panel.

7. Put some posters on the wall to fill space.

8. Make the bowler hat unpleasantly wobbly in the ink stage.

9. Cry pitifully about the state of page seven of Cat Piano and thus cover your artwork with tear stains, ruining it but saving the public at large from eyestrain.

Other notes: a good art day is when lunch is at 1 am. A bad art day is when lunch is at 1 pm. Today, lunch was at 2 pm.

snark is a frail thing, pros arch
