Big Wheel Doesn’t Keep On Turnin’
Man, how did I avoid that joke for the past few years. “The Big Wheel” (panel sample above) is my Teddy & Anna comic book, which I began in 2004 and haven’t yet finished. It was a challenging project on a couple of fronts: a) it was the first long comic book story I’d tried since I was a teenager, and b) each page was about 4 feet high. The piece of paper at left in the window is 8 1/2″ x 11″.
The story was serialized in the windows of a cultural organization downtown; I would go and change out the pages a couple of times a week. The office was at the corner of the block, and it was cool to look out the window and see cars creep up to the intersection, as the drivers tried to figure out what the hell they were looking at in that window.
I should really finish that story up someday. The window space isn’t available anymore, but this newfangled internet thing might work for letting people read the comic.
