Tripp’s Sir Toby Jingle
- After posting Wallace Tripp‘s book, Granfa Grigg Had A Pig, it became obvious to me that we had to post more. Bill Peckmann sent this first half of the book, Sir Toby Jingle’s Beastly Journey. It was illustrated AND written by Tripp and is a delight. The drawings are beautiful, and the book has a great flow. I hope you enjoy it.

- And now a word from our sponsor. I’d be remiss if I allowed a post to pass without the mention of our fundraising campaign for POE. That is, of course, the feature we are promoting, the feature we are trying to finance and hope to raise enough money to get a trailer completed. To that end, we’ve established a spot on Indiegogo a week ago where we are aiming for the highest. Please visit the site, tell your friends to tell their friends, and perhaps we’ll reach our goal. Many thanks, regardless, for your wonderful support.

Including word balloons works really well. I’m surprised.
For some reason it pulls each of the pages together and allows for more distinctive voices for the characters. Perhaps that is just me. Plus, obviously, word balloons work well in comics of all types. Typesetting a book like this always falls short, in my opinion. I would think even the best of them would benefit from being lettered by hand. Again: in my opinion.
Otherwise, cool stuff.

I get a real Walt Kelly feel from his animals, particularly the faces.
