    Sunday's Strip

    Monday, May 11, 2009 - 01:54 AM

    If you missed it over the weekend, have a look at Sunday's strip about the children's classic, Goodnight Moon. That book is a masterpiece of helping little ones to sleep, but there's room in there for a little good-natured ribbing. (I hope.)

    Strips like that are fun to do. It's an interesting experiment to adapt your style to another artist's look and techniques. It's not unlike trying to fake a spoken accent, I suppose. The last time I tried it for Sheldon was with the George Herriman masterpiece Krazy Kat -- and that was similarly fun to do.
