It’s Modern Art! It symbolizes the barrenness of existence!…😀

I didn’t know it was her until afterward, nobody introduced her this way and she didn’t mention it, but I hung out with Lori Mattix on Saturday, after the Led Zepagin show, at the Whiskey A Go Go. She is known for having been Jimmy Page’s girlfriend, particularly because of their age difference. She is a character, full of energy, talkative, and protective of Led Zeppelin’s legacy.

I watched the final Kiss show live broadcast from Madison Square Garden, Saturday night.

The photo is from a review of a Kiss show in Seattle. The newspaper is dated May 27, 1974, 3 months after the release of their debut album.

Frances Sternhagen who played Esther Clavin, Cliff’s mother on Cheers, has died. Esther was one of the funniest characters on a show full of funny characters. Some of her highlights include the episode where developers want to buy the Clavin home and the one where Sam is locked out of his apartment. RIP Frances.

So I snuck into the fenced staging area, to get some close up pics of the replica cars, before yesterday’s Hollywood Christmas Parade. Don’t say I won’t do anything for you. I know some of the pictures are crooked, see the part about sneaking into an unauthorized area, I didn’t have time for perfection. Pictured are: The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo, Doc’s car from Back to The Future, Kit from Knight Rider, Herbie the Love Bug, The Ghost Buster Mobile, The Trans-Am from Smokey and the Bandit, and the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard. (To those that might be offended by the General Lee: grow up. I loved the show when I was a kid, people should be cut some slack for childhood loves when they didn’t know any better, and it’s not a racist show, even though there was a confederate flag on the car. It’s a harmless entertaining show about Moonshine runners. The Dukes never has a bad word for anyone other than Boss Hogg and Cletus)

When writing comics, you need to describe what’s in the panel, in as much detail as necessary.

Sometimes, a lot of detail is needed, especially if what’s shown is important to the story but also if there are specific details you want in there. For example: instead of just saying “a barn” maybe you want “a red barn.”

Other times, you don’t need as much detail and you leave the details more to the artist. Then you might just say “a barn.”

I think it’s important to leave out unnecessary details.

Don’t try to control everything in the comic, leave some room for the artist’s artistic expression. Because, presumably, you picked that artist because you think they’re good and you trust them artistically.

Limit the details in the panel to things that are important to the story or when you have a specific vision of how that panel should be.

If what the artists comes up with, from a less detailed panel description, isn’t quite right, you can revise it.

Bottom line: you want every detail in the description that’s necessary but no more than that. And, some of your panel descriptions will be relatively long and detailed and others will be short and simple.

Comics writing exercise: what’s in this panel? (Please keep it clean) For this exercise, it’s better if you go very detailed.

Don’t forget to check out our website. Atlanticcomics.net If you go to the store, Atlanticcomics.net/shop you may notice that we’ve, temporarily, taken down all the products except the caps. We’ve done this because my skills at selling over the internet are nowhere near as good as my skills selling face to face. Almost everybody, I sell Atlantic Comics stuff to, buys it, face to face. Over the internet, not so much. So I need to learn how to be a better salesman over the net. To that aim, I’ve decided to simplify things, I.E. learn to sell 1 product well. Then, we’ll put the other products back up. One thing in particular, I need to do, is: be better about saying “go to our store and buy an Atlantic Comics cap” and other similar things. So: go to our store and buy an Atlantic Comics cap! (There, that wasn’t so hard for me now, was it?)

OUR GOOD FRIENDS AT Triangle of Truth, Jay and Jena Burns and Sean Butler, have a new video out where they talk about Atlantic Comics. (at 7:18) This is the third or fourth time that they have talked about Atlantic Comics. If you haven’t seen any of their YouTube videos: they are real comic book fans. I included the video with our most recent mention but while you’re there, take a look at some of their other videos.

HALLOWEEN IS : the only holiday with a horror movie series named after it. There’s no horror series titled: Thanksgiving, featuring a killer turkey. Gooble gooble. 😀. I recommend the 2018 Halloween for your Halloween viewing pleasure, tomorrow
