The year was 2020,

and no one imagined it would 

cause a whole World to shake,

and be shaken...

 

 

All disbeliefs aside, a virus pandemic caused most of the World to stop, andeventuallyconsider the damage the strains of the virus brought.

 

Due to Covid19, a SARS-like easily spread threat, for the first time in its 100+ year history, the weekly distribution of the art medium of sequential art was stopped due to imposed lockdowns for humanitarian reasons in almost every major country...

 

While the World around us may have stopped, our Covid lead minds didn't...

Soon we had questions with too few answers, and for most, our unsettled thoughts were too many...hence:

 

ic sTAY SAFE COMICS Twitter invite 2020

Caught at home with little to do?....

Needing a breather break from all that screen time?....

After all that 'Self- Education' thru TV & the Net, it's time to put that knowledge to work....   BUT FIRST:

IC 2 all aFFECTED

 

PLEASE TAKE CARE & HELP ALL YOU CAN....

OK, back to the still serious, but also fun stuff...

 

...It is for everyone to enjoy and for everyone to try, making one that is...

So reach inside yourself to put out the story you'd like, or were born to, share...

Everyone has thoughts, lots of thoughts...

We are made up of our thoughts and, like it or not, some of those thoughts are not going to be pretty, and so it stands that some of what we think, will seem like they don't belong in our head...

Don't worry, sometimes we need those thoughts to figure out what we don't like, so we can focus on better, more positive ones.

One of the ways our brains organize our thoughts are through stories, stories both made up and true.

#StaySAFEcomics

 

+ Stay Safe Comics are about creators using the backdrop of the covid10 corona virus pandemic to tell stories about their lives and the lives of those around them...

+ Being open and honest with our own feelings, good or bad, is a healthy activity, & doing it using such a versatile medium as comics makes it fun, educating, & exciting!

+ When we share our stories as Stay SAFE Comics, about how our circle of the world was affected by Covid19, being locked down, social distancing, or just feeling isolated, we #GetItOUT of our head, allowing us to view it from a lot of different angles, thereby simplifying it & making it easier to come around to understanding it better...

+ Allowing others to read our stories, through text & drawings, allows us the opportunities to see how other people react to them & soon we may find out just how many other people may share what we share when it comes to thoughts, actions, ....even creative penmanship & art-styles!

#StaySAFEcomics

 

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”
― William Styron

We, but more importantly, The World, wants you to share your story, or stories on how you have felt during 2020, & the easiest place to put that, is to tell it as a StaySAFEcomic!

 

Stay Safe Idea: If YOU Could Tell The Whole World Something Right Now, What Would It Be??

 

"When I started out in the eighties, the idea of creating serious comics for adults was pretty laughable to most folks.... and for the longest time it was hard to even explain what alternative comics or graphic novels were.... Nobody seemed to understand or care......Not so, any longer."
-----Seth

ic Bat KC feel pain 2 oooSometimes in times of stress people can get gruff, taking it out on others, just dealing with stuff, stuff that to almost everyone is not easy, but to some it is even less so...

We all are made up of great talents & imperfections, neither of which can, nor should, we forever live in, meaning no matter how hard we try to only focus on one of them, they both enthusiastally want to come out to play, & this can cause confusion, fustration, & creativity too, but not always in the correct directions or amounts...

As capable of remembering distinctive settings in the past, often there are emotions linked to these experiences, which, then, may have held some sort of importance, yet now, many times lost from origianl context, can cause us to react unknowingly gritty towards others.

Ok, so YOU have now dabbled in creating your own stories, & really enjoy the powerful act of putting them down on paper....Brrssszzzrrkkk! *sound of a LP record being 'scratch-stopped*

[...yes, but "WHY PAPER?", some ask, "We live in the 21st century, here!"

 Yes, yes we do, yet the process is to be as simple as possible, free of any technological marvels or miracles...

You may have your phone attached to your hands most of the time, looking to it for info, entertainments, updates, & news, but THIS is ALL ABOUT YOU & WHAT YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH using your talent, not your tech...

Besides getting it 'into' your 'virtual' (by taking a simple pic of it :) is a lot easier than getting it out...]

Stay SAFE comics - Getting It Out Means Getting It Out!

#ReadTradeShareCOMICS

 Creating comic art & writing can be a singular-person activity, however no, it doesn't have to be that way...

Asking others to JOIN IN THE FUN can be helpful in 'a whole new world' way, for all of those participating, & they may be eager, however sometimes it is us that needs the convincing, as, for whatever reason, we can have the feeling others may not be interested...

Fair enough...just also consider the reality of 'feelings aren't facts', no matter who claims them. :o)

There are LOTS who enjoy seeing talent working in-the-process, as shown by the number of people who pour over scripts, sit-in on Twitch or Switch viewing, watch 'extra features' of the "making of...", or even get excited about quiz show, sports, & reality programing!

 Truth is EVERYONE LOVES watching a master at work & most even a #MASTERinTRAINING, & who is to tell you ( or them ) that you are not one of these?

Because drawing art or writing stories has traditionally ( & especially lately) been done void of others physically, it may be easy to forget, it was not that long ago most comic books were worked on in groups, in 'bullpen' style where everyone could see & interact with one another...

At the start of the medium's huge popularity, almost a full CENTURY ago, when the original idea of paying to reprint 'used' comic strips from newspapers [ <---paper printed news-blogs that sold millions EVERY DAY, kids!!], became too successful, others got in on it, creating almost overnight competitiion.

Stranger things have happened [& 'it' has its own ALL-NEW comic based on expanding the Netflix TV Show!...Just ASK US! ], though the reality of the origins of the modern day comic book go directly through this baffling fact:

The licensing fees to create content for comics from the recycled became so high, it became cheaper to pay artists to actually write & draw new stories for the now lucrative industry, suddenly opening up all sorts of new jobs in penciling, inking, colouring, editing, & writing duties...

Thus was born a place borne to ideas overflowing, steming from an influx of creative folk who, especially at the beginning, didn't always have the clout or power, yet held the passion for the tools of the trade, and knew how to trade those tools for the eventual greater health of the medium.

Stan Lee, the MARVELous one, & Jack 'King' Kirby are two examples [of thousands] who grew with comics, helped them change, & in this case had a huge impact from their origins near the birth of comics, through to essentially co-creating Marvel Comics (or most of it) in the early 1960s, bringing a zesty new feel to a product few still thought had legs sales-wise [...even 40 years in :o) ]

Stan played with the idea of creating a 'secret club' facade towards its readers, eventually convincing enough with his pizzazz, energy, & glossy treatment of Marvel's fanbase that not only was it plausible, it was a reality seldom seen in a product many then saw [due to the implications of THE COMICS CODE ], as talking down to its long-time friends, a problem which lurked even into the 21st century.

As artistic flares became commonplace, thanks much to the tremendous influence Will Eisner & co had, the giant room of artists was given more freedom to speak, share, & produce with the support of his fellow creators, many who would go on to teach & open schools on the craft, its history, & mystiques. 

 Asking close people if they have a bit of extra time [most do these days] to TALK, LISTEN, & / or HELP OUT can make a HUGE difference for all parties.... Sometimes we can convince ourselves others 'can't' when many times they 'will' & actually 'want to'...Many times it's easier done than thought, making 2-words into 1 - - 'COMFORT' + 'ABLE'...

ic Sorry event canclled 00 pink

One of the most common experiences in 2020 was the shared conflicted emotions behind hearing increassingly, "Sorry, event cancelled due to Covid19!"

In itself, the fustrations of being confronted over so many strains placed over what used to be normal leads to questioning, "How would we even define Life anymore?"...

THIS is 'heady-stuff' to ponder...not for everyone, and certainly can encompass mass amounts of time & energy, two resources that, despite our uncanny ability to somehow manage binge-watching entire seasons of TV or podcasts, really IS in short supply...

With growth, education, & experience, we can see clearer the horizons of our lifetime, and the spatial awareness of how far we have travelled in it, &, with reflection, how far we wish yet to go...

Going past ourselves can be very problematic at times, as we never truly see all that there is or was about us, so it can be very hard to judge where our own 'boundaries' begin or end...

It is usually the past or the future where many of our greatest accomplishments are needed to overcome our own interpretations of where we were or are going to be.

 That, in better #simpleSPEAK, can mean, "our most Great Battle is paying attention to our abilities RIGHT NOW & listening to what our bodies are telling us."

Checking 'in' with the REAL us is not always the most enjoyable time spent, & most of us would rather do anything else [....even #MAKINGCOMICS seems doable in comparison :o)... ].

While the World around us can be in flames or not, the most meaningful character in our own stories is ourself, sometimes hogging the spotlight, while others slinking off, unoticed sometimes by even its caretaker, a well meaning person who, well, sometimes lacks the meaning of it all...

Whether playing chess or checkers, being a queen or a king, all must maintain a level of health past gamesmanship, taking time to set up the right moves so as to avoid any red flags while racing towards checkered flags.

It is a reminder we need sometimes, that which states 'we are not pawns in our own lives, & we are not boarded to being bored'...

With regular maintenance [ meals, sleep, interactions with organic voices ], we can avoid some dark nights, & who knows, maybe our creative output could include a few 'Dark Knights' or at least some 'Dark Horses'...

Being able to count on a few good opinions [...some call them friends :o) ] can go a long way in having some 2nd or 3rd hand eyes looking our way in ensuring all that needs to is getting done, and big bonus if you are able to take what is said about you with grains of salt without accusing others of having fiendish intentions.

This is hard, but so too is making comics, and having a clear healthy head to do it, a thirsty approach to proactive excersizes, & a built in audience of support is a well documented means to not only making it easier on yourself, but also being able to push others when they need it...

And sometimes, don't we all like hearing the sound of our voice saying to someone we care about, "(You're in..) Check, mate!"

Stay SAFE comics - Comics Rule, But Have No Rules!

#ReadTradeShareCOMICS

Comic books & their forefather, the comic strip, had to do some heavy lifting back in the day...

As hard as it is to imagine a world without the undispensible tools of mass media & the internet, two feathers in the cap of humanity, those times are relatively recent, with most persons being able to find others quitely willingly offering to speak of the days without to get some perspective on our joint technological marchings over a scant few decades.

Comics WERE the entertainment, the fantasy, the science fiction, the vessel for imagination back in their 1st heydays, as, in a world without television, without 'talking' movies, without even widspread radio, comics we the indulgence for the creatively minded, & they didn't mind at all!

 

You should feel free, unhindered, when using the tools of the medium to tell your tales, tall or short, fiction or fact.

Liking to any form of expression or art, there are no real rules, except your own.Comics belong to their creators, at least initially, and so what you place on a page can be fixed to the place you are taking the reader, or can reach out in emotions or action to pull them in, it doesn't matter...

All that does is, hopefully the creator can help the reader find just the right sweet spot they'd want them to be in for the experience to work best...

“Jez, man. Why do people want to be Paris Hilton and nobody wants to be
Spider-Man?”
― From Kick-@ss,  words by Mark Millar [writer of CIVIL WAR, NEMESIS] 
 

Spider-Man: [To Echo] "Hi. My name is Luke Skywalker and I'm here to rescue
  you. (sorry, I always wanted to say that)...... Come on, all the Cool Avengers are
  here....."
----From NEW AVENGERS #27, words by Brian Michael Bendis [..one of the best
  writers in comics who took over THE AVENGERS franchise 6 years ago..] and

 like the title to the new movie, started in 1962, and is STILL published today!!]
 
 
  Spider-Man (In Wolverine's body): And don't think that just because two big
  super heroes showed up for this that you're some kind of special-
  Wolverine (In Spider-Man's body):
Shut up!
  Spider-Man (In Wolverine's body):
What?
  Wolverine (In Spider-Man's body):
Don't make your stupid jokes when you're in
  this... state. You're making me look bad.
  Spider-Man (In Wolverine's body):
What?
  Wolverine (In Spider-Man's body): I have an image.
  Spider-Man (In Wolverine's body): You have an aroma!
 
 Wolverine (In Spider-Man's body): When I find out who did this to me, and--
  wait, why am I talking to myself....I never talk to myself....I'm talking as much
  as the kid talks.....Now I'm talking about talking.....

                                       http://www.imagecollections.ca/reading-comics
 
 
#2......IMAGE COMICS mega-hit monthly series 'THE WALKING DEAD' was picked
up as a AMC TV-Series, thereby exposing the already 'scary-hot' [#1 was selling for
over $150.00 BEFORE the show] exceptionally well written ongoing-Zombie-movie
comic to millions of new readers who have now [re]discovered the medium of REAL
[maturely created] sequential art....
 
 
#3......PETER  PARKER DIES!...& stayed dead even! MARVEL COMICS modern-line
[....called 'ULTIMATE', begun in 2001...] heroes where stunned, as was all of New York,
when Spider-man was killed in a drag-out royal-rumble, leaving a grieving Aunt May, and 
heartbroken Gwen Stacy & Mary Jane....
 
 A new person, Miles is trying to take his place...
 
 
#4......OWLs, OWLs, EVERYWHERE!.....As noted above, 'BATMAN', part of DC's NEW-52
is experiencing a rebirth in popularity not seen since the first BAT-Movie back in 1989!
BATMAN writer Scott Snyder is kicking it in high gear using OWLs,...yes OWLs!
 
 
#5.....YOUNGER READERS Titles are once again coming out regularily as ARCHIE, SONIC,
and BETTY & VERONICA were joined by SUPER DINOSAUR, SNARKED, TOY STORY,
CARS, MUPPETS, FINDING NEMO, PEANUTS, GARFIELD, and more!
 
 
#6.....A GAME OF THRONES, once just an amazing novel series, now on TV and a
take-no-prisonors monthly comic series!
Also new: BUFFY Season 9, ANGEL Season 8, & Smallville Season 11,....only in comics!
 
 
#7......VERTIGO COMICS EXPAND!...DC Comics reality-based imprint hit full-stride as new-older-readers flooded in [thanks to exposure from things like 'The Walking Dead'] to discover & try comics which reinforce 'NOT treating their readers like a kid', with impressive complex storylines like 'FABLES' [fairy-tale characters existing in reality...LONG b4 you saw it on TV in Once Upon A Time or Grimm!], Y-the LAST MAN [last guy in world of women-but SO MUCH better than it sounds!], DMZ [about a present-day American Civil War], and many more reality-based, fantasy-set, horror-filled, or crime-oriented monthly comic books.... 
 
 
#8...DIRECTOR KEVIN [Clerks,Jay & Silent Bob] SMITH is writing comic books again, albeit an unlikely one [after writing a THE GREEN HORNET monthly title last year], as THE BIONIC MAN is BACK as a monthly comic after far too long!.....The Six Million Dollar Man comic writer CAN hit deadlines, after all!...... :o)
 
#9......X-MEN break-up looking out for HOPE, sending WOLVERINE back to open up
the X-School again, now called the 'Jean Grey School Of Higher Learning', with LOGAN
