I'm Out of Order? You're Out of Order! - Nonlinear storytelling
I finally watched Strange Darling the other night. I think I saw part of a review at some point and dipped out before it could be spoiled.
And boy howdy, THAT'S the way to see Strange Darling ...

How do you make a clever character stupid?

Front and Back

I'm not sure if I've written a post about this already, but an interesting thing we have to think about sometimes with comics is how to make the characters, the foreground, stand out from the background.
