Comic for Monday, Apr 1, 2024

Recommended Posts

I'm OK with that, as long as it doesn't go on as long as Rodger pushing the button in "The White Board"

Taking another glance at this comic today (looking to see if there was a new Sketchbook comic), I noticed that this comic violates cartoon logic. The first three panels are spot on, but they the result is body modification; it should have been a trap door opening and dropping her through. (Had she been a coyote, dropping an anvil or grand piano from the ceiling onto her head would have been acceptable, provided the [ACME] label is clearly affixed and visible.)

This is why, as a cartoonist, you still need to to adequate research.

Ah, but EGS isn't a slapstick cartoon, it's a transformation comic*. Of course, traditionally the results of pushing the button still would still have been something Diane wasn't happy with, but in comedy one of the greatest traditions is breaking from tradition.

* When it's not a drama, or an urban fantasy, or a gaming webcomic.

Cats generally do not fare well in those cartoons either.
