No-context Comic Panels (activity)

[Aigis]

This is an activity I hope you will enjoy.

The idea is to draw a single panel from an imaginary comic, without context. The panel should seem like it is taken from an existing story, but that existing story doesn't exist, so the panel by itself should suggest that there is a wider story.

You can use this as an exercise to practice comic compositions (including possibly new and interesting panel shapes), to practice your ability to do storytelling through a single image, or just to have fun with the concept and suggest an entertaining wider story. Anything you want, really. It should be fun.

In summation:

Activity:

To create a single comic panel, without context, that seems to be taken from an existing (though in reality, imaginary) story.

Here's my example:

lichtenstein what?

Lichtenstein copied individual panels from existing comics onto a canvas. That is not what I'm asking people to do.

Arise you bastard, ARISE!

so uh, how is this different than just drawing a picture with speech bubbles in it referencing nothing in particular?

No comment.

I like your idea.

The fly is from my comic jam attempt that never came together. Just the fly, the rest is new. I hope you don't mind.

I spend the entire time painting these trying to come up for witty things to post along with them, and when it comes high fucking time to make it rain I forget the lot.

Worse things could happen. I could have syphilis. 'Ave a comic panel, I spent literally seconds coming up with the idea behind it, and I'm proud to say that the effort shines through.

For you, I'll creep back into these forums to drop a doody.
