cartoonist conspiracy SF - arm wrestling experiments inspired by the french comic book greats

http://www.miromi.com/webpress/?p=501

Here are arm wrestling experiments that mutated into singing and dancing adventures from the Cartoonist Conspiracy San Francisco jams as well as the Rock Paper Scissors Zine Workshops. The activity of making comics is a loner's world, and collaborations don't occur so often. It's a joy to be able to jam with other artists when the opportunity arises much the same way musicians jam.

I took an excellent and highly recommended animation course with Lee Marrs at the beginning of the year, and one thing that was repetead over and over again was to simplify, simplify, simplify, especially for animations. "K.I.S.S. - Keep it Simple Stupid" extends not just to worklife but also to comics!

At the end of each exercise people agreed with me. The best best drawings look strong without all the fluff.

It's best to watch these as a slideshow, although flickr has some fine thumbnailng on the set as well.

I enjoyed filling out the background to this one.

What should they say?

This one was one page, but by the end of the evening the original artists had left and we were trying to figure out something bitingly witty to say. We couldn't do it, at least on command. New Yorker style snappy comebacks are more difficult than they appear, and they require a bit of bitterness. None of us were feeling that bitter that night.

So please comment away--what should they say? Please keep it PG-rated.
