Before releasing the voting comic redux, I had some close friends give it a once-over and it was felt that the painstakingly redrawn “SLAPPO!” panel might be a bit too much for some people, mostly ‘cause of Dennis’s scary face. So after some initial reluctance I redrew his expression as manic instead of furious.It works a lot better, I think. The panel retains its comic intensity, but feels more fun and silly. Plus the whole page flows better now; the rhythm isn’t broken.As you know, normally I’m quite a selfish cartoonist and do my own thing and fuck you if you don’t understand it. But the whole point of the voting comic is to be seen, enjoyed, and understood by as many people as possible, so… I spent a lot of time finessing it. Show it to your friends and family and see if all of my effort was worth it!Maybe I’ll put the angry-faced version of the “SLAPPO!” panel on a t-shirt or something.Anyway… if you’ve just joined us, here’s a funny comic explaining Australia’s preferential voting system!http://chickennation.com/voting -- source link
