“My drawing, like that of most cartoonists, is intended first of all to be functional: to create believable space, and communicate information. My strongest point in drawing has always been my ability to show characters' nonverbal communication through facial expression and posture.” AbilityCommunicationCommunicateCartoonistFacial Expression Author:Jessica Abel
“Cartooning is completely different from other media: it is closely related to film and prose, other narrative forms, but the skills needed to realize a story are very different, and include not only drawing and writing dialogue and narration, but graphic design and the ability to depict time passing visually. It's a whole suite of skills that has to go into making a comics page, skills that are quite distinct from those that go into writing a page of prose, or making a film.” WritingDifferentFilmRealizingAbilityDesignDialogueProseGraphicTime PassingTime Passes Author:Jessica Abel
