Notes: If
there's one page in Cautious Fuzz that feels like a rock'n'roll
movie (like a Beatles or Elvis film), it's this one. NONE of the panels
really speak to one another visually. Odd cross-hatch patterns, unexplained
spot lights, ordinary backgroungs, and even pointilism stand side by side
by side.
Although I like
panel #5, it would have been BETTER if I had used zip-o-tone. Still, the
cross-hatching manages to get across the idea that tiny Club Mutante is
more important that the giant buildings around it.
I LOVE the introduction
"... asexual creatures great and small" ... heh ... that STILL makes me
chuckle. As I often do, I've made the crowd a mixture of odd original creatures
and interesting cameos by characters from comic artists I admire. Left
to right they are: Vic Beef (a character from a one of my first college
comic strips, Eggnog & Co.), unnamed original rhino guy and
bug lady, Cynicalman (from the comic book of the same name, written and
drawn by Matt Feazel if my memory is correct), Rob Adler, Ron Post (from
Matt Howarth's brilliant Those Annoying Post Bros. comic. I thought
it was important to give a nod to Howarth ... his Kief Llama stories
were a MAJOR influence on Cautious Fuzz, although Kief herself didn't
seem an appropriate guest star), and finally some odd blonde alien.
