Nancy by Olivia Jaimes for November 25, 2018

Lol, Nancy is going for the large scoo of ice cream, talk about a brain freeze!

LOL!!

It’s really a most exactive art form !!

What did she do with all the fruit?

“Now you know how I felt.” (Michelle Obama)

Or improvisation.

A cornucopia of ice cream is an excellent idea, except for the fact that Almithea’s horns would probably dispense gelato or Greek yogurt rather than Carvel soft serve, though, now that I think of it… Tom Carvel was a Greek immigrant.

Wow, she is going out on that cornucopia!

I’m impressed with the use of depth of field to show perspective — I don’t think I’ve seen that before in a comic strip.

Agreed! A form of focus. We are focused on Nancy, but Fritzi is still in our picture. This is one for the highlight reels.

What am I reading here? Nancy or Nancy classics?

I like this Nancy and artist.

Nancy is crazy! :D

Focus, Nancy! Focus!

“Rack focus” in a comic strip!

To be fair, i’d do the same honestly. XD

I admire the film technique of using soft focus in the last panel. One could argue that this is unnecessary in a comic strip and therefore an affectation, but I find it intriguing — at least, in small doses.

Wow, this is great!

Nancy is a positivist since she wouldn’t have enough money to have it filled.

There aren’t too many ice cream trucks around in November.

I did a cross-fade effect in a comic I drew back in (mumble mumble). It wasn’t good drawing, and the effect was totally gratuitous in context, but what the heck! I’m not sure what inspired it—maybe reading about Will Eisner borrowing effects from Orson Welles!

I love how much everyone loves the blurred effects in the last panel. Coloring over it on a new layer with a Darken blending mode would prevent the artifacts of white around the window.

Good heavens, that blur is awful.
