Sunday Single 'Poor Loser'
Added 2023-04-30 07:01:00 +0000 UTCGood morning!
Every Sunday I aim to post a single panel comic - it's a nice little full stop that marks the end of one week and the start of a new one.
This week's Sunday Single is adapted from a classic 1950 Mopsy comic and features a wonderfully witty line written by Gladys Parker.
Phrases have evolved over the years and I suppose these days we'd be more likely to call someone a 'sore loser' - but then the joke wouldn't work!
Have a peaceful Sunday - relax, play some card games and always aim to be a rich winner.

I totally agree! I love making and talking about comics, such a vast landscape for fun ideas!
2023-05-01 07:59:41 +0000 UTCYes, I feel the same. I guess it depends what mood you're in. I love Gary Larson's work - he managed to build a vibrant world of his own with single panels. I suppose daily three panel comics are somewhere in the middle. It's an endlessly fascinating art form and I could geek out about it all day :)

2023-05-01 07:49:58 +0000 UTCI do enjoy multiple paneled strips for the same reasons you listed, world-building and room for fun details. However, I also really like simple one-off jokes you can put in one panel. For example: I love the Simpsons cartoon (in earlier seasons) because of their writing and long form humor. However, I also like the couch gag they do at the beginning of every episode, simple and short, y’know? I love both, but I might favor the sequential strips a tiny bit more.
2023-04-30 15:44:13 +0000 UTCYes, they are quite relaxing to work on - nice and quick to make compared to the strips. I think sequential comic strips are more satisfying though. They offer more opportunities for world building and adding little twists and turns to the narrative :) Which do you prefer?
