Some of the comic strip originals I got this week: "Spot the Frog" by Mark Heath, "Winston" by Johnny Sajem, and "Tumbleweeds" by Tom Ryan. Love how varied the originals are, especially the paper ("Tumbleweeds" is drawn on really thick board, for example). https://t.co/4fY9f3eoYf

I found past auction listings for originals of "Understanding Comics" and...yeah, seems Scott McCloud didn't use waterproof ink. Because YIKES at these water damage. In general, if you ink traditionally you can use whatever, but seriously consider waterproof ink https://t.co/LM7NrnKxON
