So, as he mentioned in his Chicago scene report for The Comics Journal, the magical Edie Fake and I have been working through Ivan Brunetti’s Cartooning syllabus and meeting up to gab about our “assignments.” Here’s a quick look at a few panels from the chapter 5 homework…I think Issue #2 of The Magic Hedge is going to devote a high page count to “childhood” related stories, and I’m considering including/expanding the story that includes these panels….Thoughts, concerns!? I leave for my 2 week artist’s residency at the Ragdale Foundation this week and I’m excited to get Issue #2 mapped out and well on its way to becoming a “thing…” Don’t worry, there will also be birds and queers and present-day Chicago, but  I do think we’ll go back in time for the bulk of the book.
