Thunder Punch Daily 150 – What Tools Should You Use?
For the 150th episode I break format and answer an email rather than come in with a formulated essay on comic-making. But I think there’s an essay in there somewhere as I give a report on what tools I use to make comics as of September 2013.

Thunder Punch Daily 149 – Why He-Man has that Mysterious Smile
Today I explain my thinking process behind the design of He-Man in that big Masters of the Universe pitch I recently put together, and use it as a modeling exercise to highlight the various elements of communication in character design. If, as Dan Mishkin once said, everything in a comic is unreal, making everything real, then everything you use in your design is an opportunity to express something about your characters, their world, and the story’s worldview.

Thunder Punch Daily 148 – Respecting the Work
We often look back on our old work and groan. Why is this? Is it humble to talk our old work down, even when someone is responding to it positively? What changes when we approach our body of work (big or small) with a sense of respect?
