    Oh, you’re disturbed all right, just not in the way you meant in that final panel.

    I’d be pretty disturbed if all that has gone on had happened to me.

    To draw a completely black panel, does the artist have to ink the whole panel or is there some kind of shortcut?

    In one of the Pearls Before Swine treasuries, Pastis explains that he uses the black panel bit when he’s feeling lazy. Not that Pab would ever be lazy, but he could be tired ;)

    Maybe he was drawing a blank?

    Didn’t he mention he was having some eye problems at one point? Poor guy.

    Mr. Brown is giving her a bit of a rest, today. Wait for tomorrow. ( Hey, wasn’t that the name of an old television or radio soap opera ? )

    Many years ago, the late cartoonist W. Kelly did a few strips with a lightening bug, so two of the four panels were black.


    He said he got the idea because he was pressed for time, and thought that only having to draw two panels would reduce his work by half. Then he realised that he had to invent a clever plot and dialogue for all four panels, and he ended up spending more time on the lightening bug strip than on the strips where he had to draw all four panels.

    One way to go is to make a completely black panel, and then use Wite-Out to add the eyes.

    I’m reminded for some reason of a Benny Hill blackout where he’s lying in bed listening to the guy in the flat above him getting ready for bed as he drops his shoes on the floor: “thump…thump…thump.”
