Only mid-way through THE WEEK OF MASSIVE SQWERTZ and I’m already learning a ton about how to refine my Sqwertzing process. Installment #3 (SQWERTZ me once, shame on you…) is still my favorite in terms of artwork and I’m detecting a swing back around to that style for every installment. That’s pretty exciting for me and that means I’ll soon have an official style guide with nothing less than…
A STANDARDIZED SQWERTZ.
You heard me right – no more fooling around. Soon I will have locked down the character design for every character and the look of the individual characters will stop shifting around so much. That’ll be a real benchmark in the long trek towards “ideal.”
This installment also features the first use of a 2-part split panel. Not too shabby – but what do you think?

Split panel – cool! Opens you to different rhythms, which is cool.
I’m loving all this Sqwertz. And getting a process is awesome, because it increases the likelihood that we’ll see more Sqwertz more often!
Agreed on all fronts with Joe. Looking forward to Sqwertz expanding in size (no pun intended), maybe using other types of panel layouts to take advantage of all this virtual space!

(Lisa Simpsons Impression) I’m *familiar* with the work of Scott McCloud.
Happy birthday, buddy!
