Description Page 4 in a 12-page comic story.

Illustrating what is little more than an extended conversation between two people and have it not look like a series of talking heads is not particularly easy. This page is not the best looking in the series, but I'm still happy with what I've achieved from a visual storytelling point of view.

Thank you for your comments.

1.
PANZERA: Ma QUOI?!
2.
ROCCO: C'était ta première cigarette?
3.
PANZERA: Oh. Non, euh... j'ai déjà fumé avant...
4.
ROCCO: C'est bon, c'est bon...
5.
PANZERA: Ce n'était pas ma première!
ROCCO: Je voulais juste te voir fumer.
6.
ROCCO: Je pensais que t'aurais l'air cool avec une clope, tu sais? Sexy.

Illustrer ce qui n'est finalement guère plus qu'une longue conversation entre deux personnages sans que le résultat ne ressemble à une série de têtes qui parlent n'est pas particulièrement facile. Cette page n'est pas la plus jolie de la série, mais je suis tout de même satisfait de la narration visuelle qu'elle contient.

Merci pour vos commentaires.

Interestingly, that's how my wife ended up getting me to start smoking.

Really? How often does that come up when you fight?

Actually, not that much. We've got deeper issues to quarrel about

Have you ever made a book of these strips?

You mean the "My Life in Flux" strips? No, I haven't. It never made any sense to me. It's not as if anyone around here would be interested in reading comic strips written in English. I guess I could make a pdf, but I have no idea how to do that, and I'm not sure if it would serve a purpose.

It looks kinda like he's already on the patch for nicotine withdrawal. Either that, or he's a big fan of decorative bandages.

Oh, hey, he has those cross thingies (what are those anyway?^^") on his arms. I wonder what that means...

Hmmm... Considering that this is a prequel, it means that at some point between this story and "My Life in Flux", Panzera started putting pieces of red tape on her shoulders, just like this guy did.

Well, obviously. But the important question is why. It's not like this is a coincidence, is it? ^^

No, it's not, but on the other hand, the whole thing is explained in a story which I have not written yet and which I am not very likely to write soon.

I see. That means I'll have to keep wondering for now. ^^
I hope you'll write it some day.

rocco's bad news, man .... that's why he's so dreamy

(je n'ai pas (encore) lu les panzeras adultes - je ne connais donc pas leur histoire ... )

Si tu les lis, tu n'en sauras pas davantage: Rocco n'y apparaît pas. On peut y sentir sa trace, d'une certaine manière, cela dit.
