Jeremy by Marc Palm
Pretty much every Wednesday, I find myself (by some incomprehensible circumstances) in Seattle proper for the weekly meeting of the Friends of the Nib, as fine a group of cartoonists, artists and (as they say) personalities as you'll find this side of the Mississippi.
Nibster Marc Palm revealed, some time ago, that back when I was doing Jeremy as a webcomic, he had submitted a piece of fan art. A week-and-a-half ago, he blew my mind by bringing the original in for me to see, and furthermore damn near brought me unbidden joy by letting me have the original.This is up in the studio now.
One of the things which used to drive me crazy about the guest art in Jeremy is that folks were consistently coming up with really great gags I had never before considered, and then having seen them undertaken by someone else, I could never use. Jeremy losing his arm down the toilet is ... it's just amazing. I could have gotten three strips out of that, but I never would have thought of it. Batting the joke, and me, out of the park - Marc Palm.
By the way, enjoy that lovely crosshatching, and the depth on display in the bathroom in the background. Just lovely ...
