I
MEET THE ARTIST OF THE STRIP JACK BENDER AND HE PUTS ME TO WORK RIGHT
AWAY. |
|
ELWOOD SOON LEARNS THERE'S MORE TO PUTTING A DAILY STRIP TOGETHER THAN JUST DRAWING. YOU MUST VISUALIZE EVERYTHING CAROLE HAS WRITTEN FOR THE STRIP THAT DAY AND LET IT FLOW THROUGH YOUR PEN INTO A WORK OF ART. ELWOOD'S VISUALIZING WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT THE ARTISTIC FLOWING OF HIS PEN WAS A LITTLE SHAKY, SO JACK HELPED A LOT. |

JUST
WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT MASTERED . . . . |

ELWOOD THOUGHT HE HAD THE HANG OF IT ALL, WHEN CAROLE TOOK HIM TO THE COMPUTER. THERE CAROLE SHOWED ELWOOD HOW THE SUNDAY STRIP IS COLORED. ELWOOD WAS DOING PRETTY GOOD UNTIL CAROLE POINTED OUT DINOSAURS ARE NOT PINK. |
I'M
OFF TO THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER "THE CLEVELAND AMERICAN" TO SEE
HOW MY STRIP GETS IN THE PAPER. |
