Well, look for this conclusion of the Fantastic Four in the ape-style of the author, Leo Ortolani.

Pop culture s are shallow, but the way they are stands on the culture of a given society. Both Beach Boys and N Synch have their base on the music that developed from Middle Age trobadors, sacred music and the following composers, then mixing in the late '800 with oriental tones, and shaking all tog...

Re: Why Monkeys?

Speaking of monkeys, am I the only one who has these, for lack of a better term, "primate dreams"? You know the dream, when you're running for the bus, or running for your life, and your arms reach down to the ground and aid in your locomotion, making you run faster. A friend of mine told me about ...

Re: See I told you so

I would have liked to have seen it be a bit shorter and to the point, no offense just think that for a zen comic strip the bare minimum of frames should have been used. Remember Scott's UC... Japanese apply their culture in comics by inserting void (or something like that) in the narration. That do...

We can tell that 5%-10% of comics (and novels and movies) never recur on death.
Eros and Tanathos are amongst the strongest elements that make a story emotional.

More than this, anyone involved with improvisations knows they have a strong trend in ending with death...

Revised ending - different story

You're right! The ending is still ambiguos. It can be read either: 1-The circle thinks of his good friend parallelogram and goes to die on its tomb (about the same ending of the first draft) 2-The circle doesn't know the Parallelogram is dead... it goes searching for it and finds out it's dead, and ...

Well, since I see only messages by people who didn't like the new ending, I must let you know that I like the story more like this. How can I say it... it has a better rhythm.

Re: Carl's stuff

I just realized what I want. I want a Carl t-shirt! Well, listen what. My girlfriend just read Parallelogram's Revenge and she says she wants to print it on a t-shirt... Is it legal if you do it on ONE t-shirt and in your home instead of producing a lot in a factory? Or, more important: Scott, do y...

Other way of proceeding

What I like about this revision, however, is that way that new panels are simply added and none of the old panels have been altered. A different way of going over an improv could be by drawing two or more panels and then inserting other ones between them, in order to create a flowing story... A lit...

End of Parallelogram

First remark... Scott replaced some colors in the early panels?!
Sort of Mendel's revenge?

More angles

Nevertheless in Flatland Rounds don't demonstrate to be wiser than the humble Square-writer. They just show to have the Power and the Culture. Triangles, and Lines, are undoubtedly different from them in appearance. They are as different as Coloured and Women from male WASP's, and in the XIX century...

Parallelogram's dialogue

I was confused too, reading for the first time. Then, this morning, I looked at the dialogue again and I understood it instantly! It's a mistery of human thinking. By the way, in UC Scott talked about comics artist to suppose what his reader can understand. I think MI can be quite a laboratory to it...
