not 100% finished panel from upcoming 1-page silent science comic.
currently untitled science comic preview.
this is the final linework for a big (10x15) 1-page black and white comic i've been drawing. i had done a sketch awhile back of a person talking but the word balloon was cut off by the bounding box of the comic panel. i thought it would be a funny way to do a silent comic. i have a whole script of dialog for this one, but i left it out so it would be a little more open ended. recently i've been thinking that i don't want it to be too open ended, so I think it'll get a title that is revealing.
this file is huge, but this is just a screenshot. full-sized and finished coming soon.

Without About
Been thinking about minor changes to my site, withoutbones. Last night, I thought up this for the "About" section.
Which made me think a lot about family trees.

Tao te Ching, chapter 47
Without stirring abroad
One can know the whole world;
Without looking out of the window
One can see the way of Heaven.
The further one goes
The less one knows.
Therefore the sage knows without having to stir,
Identifies without having to see,
Accomplishes without having to act.
From the D.C. Lau translation
Without opening your door,
you can open your heart to the world.
Without looking out your window,
you can see the essence of the Tao.
The more you know,
the less you understand.
The Master arrives without leaving,
sees the light without looking,
achieves without doing a thing.
From the S. Mitchell translation.
I like the first one better.
Lorna visits
Lorna came to town this week. We ate a lot of food and walked all around Brooklyn. One night, we ate hand pulled noodles in soup and a pile of dumplings. Then we walked to Brooklyn Heights, and looked out at the city.
