Sketchbook comic, Kimball Anderson 

A hectic month for me, I guess. I moved. Not a ton of new comic work, took all month to do maybe a week’s worth of corrections to prep M for print. 

My new rack system does seem to be encouraging me to read more. I’ve had 5 est le Numero Parfait for years and never got around to it before now. Igort draws nice and there are some interesting techniques in terms of layout and panel-to-panel storytelling. But wow, the story itself was incredibly uninteresting! Very underwhelming.

Also Kimball let me read more of their comic than is currently online. I really enjoyed it, very interested in how I might process it differently in reading the serialization along with everyone else.
