Reading your reply to that last question, I am floored that you still aren't using photoshop for any part of your process. That's incredible. Are you still doing white out and stuff? Have you had to re-draw a panel and paste it over the original ruined one
I still use white-out and will sometimes physically paste panels onto a page. Since I’m really a novice when it comes to Photoshop it’s easier and faster to bust out the scissors and glue!
One neat side effect of this is that I’m hoping it will make the pages easier to sell someday, since they pretty much look exactly as they do in print.
This is, of course, assuming they weather the ravages of time. The only stopping me from selling Box Office Poison art is that I used sharpies to fill in the blacks so they’ve aged terribly. Let this be a warning to you, kids!

How do you keep your pages so clean....
I’m not sure. I think since I don’t use Photoshop to do corrections I’ve just gotten into the habit of trying to keep them as clean as I can. Think of Photoshop as a broom—when you don’t own a broom you’re careful about crumbs.

On the morning of September 4, 1957, fifteen-year-old Dorothy Counts set out on a harrowing path toward Harding High, where-as the first African American to attend the all-white school – she was greeted by a jeering swarm of boys who spat, threw trash, and yelled epithets at her as she entered the building.
Charlotte Observer photographer Don Sturkey captured the ugly incident on film, and in the days that followed, the searing image appeared not just in the local paper but in newspapers around the world.
People everywhere were transfixed by the girl in the photograph who stood tall, her five-foot-ten-inch frame towering nobly above the mob that trailed her. There, in black and white, was evidence of the brutality of racism, a sinister force that had led children to torment another child while adults stood by. While the images display a lot of evils: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality, it also captures true strength, determination, courage and inspiration.
Here she is, age 70, still absolutely elegant and poised.
she deserves to be re-blogged.

Oh my god look at her amazing face. She doesn’t even seem flustered. Just abiding, wise eyes, wading through it. Good lord.
I wonder if any of the white people in those photos look back and say “Wow, I can’t believe what an asshole I was.” It’s nice to think so, but I suspect not.
