A good read. Adding implicit movement to the panels and breaking 4th walls are techniques I like using too. Hope your book sells well.

This is pure gold. If I was still teaching I’d be doing a happy dance now. As it is, once I’ve finished working my way through the exercises in the Lynda Barry book ‘Making Comics’ this post is bookmarked as my next project. Thank you.

Wow, wow, wow! You certainly make language (written & visual) playful & fun - but also deep! I am aiming to be more playful with my writing, so this is incredibly inspiring. Thank you. 🧡

Wow! This is like reading “Making Poetry Comics 101”.

I really love it! You make it look so easy that it makes me think perhaps I can make one too. Thank you so much. When I complete one, I will share it here :). Do create more brilliant comics for us to read and be inspired. Have a terrific time at the fourth wall.

I did it. Thanks for the inspiration. I don’t know how to share it here though. Will email.

I don't know how to express my love for these...maybe through a poetry comic...

These exercises really teach a lot and fit into other subjects like math, etc. Wonderful. I'm glad I discovered your page and subscribed. I want to keep this page for teaching my grandkids. I think grade school kids would love this.

Brilliant “how-to “ book of this exciting method of self expression. Now if I only had the smallest modicum of artistic ability.
