When I first read the prompt for the Triptych Sketch, I was not sure what type of story I wanted to make. I browsed photos using Flikr’s advanced photo search and found three photos of a cute dog looking at some unknown person, place, or object. After analyzing the photos, I realized that my dog …
Looking over the triptych comics on A Softer World, my favorite comics were those that played with my expectations. I enjoyed those where the third frame changes the tone of the comic in an unanticipated way. Here are two examples illustrating my point: In both of these comics, the first two frames set the …
