Jesse Hamm explains it all.
Jesse Hamm spent months working on scores of illustrations for a genuinely important new book, “A Community Guide to Environmental Health.” It’s a major publication that just got covered in the New York Times.

It is not that these are rarely utilized visual storytelling tools, but rather rarely *written* dramatic nuances that comics writers lack in the craft of composing dialog and scene beats. As an artist, I would gladly jump at the opportunity to use them. It goes into the question of the style of writing. Is this a realistic portrayal of a conversation, where people interrupt each other, or is it a softened, refined or theatric exchange of monologs. It is the power of the writing that pulls the visual language.
…also, we must cease to mistreat this craft of “lettering” as we do with the craft of “inking,” which most comics artists not consider a picture-making stage but a tracing one. “Lettering” is TYPOGRAPHY with a vast past in art history we can tap and manipulate to our goals. Look at Eisner or Chris ware. Dialog, captions and sound effects are not letters to be “lettered,” but marks on paper like any brush stroke. Using the computer to “letter” (guilty myself) obviously feeds the opposite understanding…
Hi Steve!
Actually, that “Gofres Manneken Pis” is Belgian. It probably is a logo for spanish belgian waffles
:)
Excellent photos! But why none of the many shoes Sara reportedly bought? — Mim
I wipe my ass with manga every day. Fast action absorbancy!
Damn, Steve, I love your poster. Did you get any to bring home?
Hiya Steve – i just read this by way of the Engine. Since I can’t post in the creator’s conference, I figured I’d reply here.
This is some great info you’ve compiled. Someone should make a permanent page for all the con advice you and Parker have put together.
Steve: Is there a difference that matters between “binary” and “SDK” file packages re: hooking up that Mustek scanner for OS X purposes?
Those are some slick blacks. Nice.
SDK’s are only needed if you are going to do cross-compilations. To just use the scanner install the binary of the files only
Great googly moogly. That’s some fine ass drawing.
Well, not “ass drawing,” but, um, that, too….
Thank you so much for this page, I just installed Twain-Sane on my Intel Imac 20″ and got the Mustek A3 Scanner running without a hitch on OSX 10.4.7
No Problems scanning into Photo Shop Elements.

I followed all the above instructions, and still have no success scanning w/ Mustek in OSX 10.4.7 could it be because all the installs were done on OSX it has no effect on my Classic OS9 system, which is where I open Photoshop? When I do this, and click on import, no SANE option appears; just the same old Scanexpress option.
Any ideas, I’d be grateful!
I’m gonna have to go with Shaolin monk, if for nothing else, because there is a part of me that would like to believe that discipline and skill are greater than brute force… That, and I gotta represent my peoples.
Chris: SANE is OS X software, so it only works with OS-X-native programs running under OS X. OS 9 has no idea that SANE exists and wouldn’t know how to use if it did. It might be time to start saving your nickels for a newer version of Photoshop. :)
Have you tried burying the templates for a few days in clean kitty litter? I’ve seen that suggested as a way to get the smoke smell out of books that have been in house fires. Not sure if it will help plastic but it couldn’t hurt. Or even a mix of kitty litter and lavender.
Sounds like it’s worth a try. Thanks!
Hey! I just followed your instructions and everything worked out great!! Thank you so much for posting this!
I noticed that smell with an Alvin flexible curve I had years ago. Like Parmesan and unwashed ears.
Kitty litter doesn’t get smoke smell out of books or plastic. Not to be a downer, but I know, because I tried.
I’d sacrifice a template to the studio gods with a bleach bath, myself. That fromage du Alvin smell is awful.
Your OSX Installation Notes for Mustek A3 USB scanner worked for me! – Great. We use OSX 10.4 & I confirm that it works.
Do long hours under flourescent lighting count?
Your red carpet moment approaches.
“Who are you wearing?!”
“Uh…Jeans by Wrangler and, um, shirt by Land’s End?”
…at least I pimped them vigorously?
It’s a good thought, I’ll try to credit writer and artist more often.
Excellent! The attention is great. It’s always just a little rough seeing the credit go to the publisher rather than the guys who had to do the work.
Unless you hate it, in which case it’s all Marvel’s fault.
On par with your con reports, Mr. Lieber. Thanks for the efforts
To download the a32fw.usb file in Safari, just control-click on the link and select ‘Downlod Linked File’ from the Contextual Menu.
Finally got my Mustek A3 Scanner USB to work in Photoshop with OSX.I have had the scanner 3 years with no success, so much so I was about to toss it into the garbage. Great way to get it going – your suggestions worked a treat.
You say it runs on OS9 – I can’t find a driver anywhere. Does anyone know where you might get a driver for OS9 – I have a dual boot G4 it would wok on.
Post to the boards where this is being discussed. There are a lot of them. I’m sure someone kept the disk!
I really like Floating World. I think a shop like that might do ok in the Columbia City neighborhood in Seattle. Especially if they featured awesome little art shows.
Thanks for putting this up, Steve. I just got one of these and was horrified that there were no OSX drivers. You are, as the kids say, the man…
Hey, thanks for the nod. I missed it when it was posted, probably due to preparations for my mom’s arrival. But I think it led to notice (and a nice review) from Newsarama. Hope to see y’all soon.
I love the disorienting effect of the snow swirling about, as well as the existential peril it poses.
That sounds just lovely to me. No sing-a-longs at the library :(

Could someone who has gotten this to work confirm what is meant by deleting the two “#” symbol?
For the first one, do you justify the rest of the line, pulling it all over to the left or do you leave a space?
For the second one?
*sigh* I kind of miss heading out to Mid-Ohio-Con the day after Thanksgiving. Well, I miss seeing the people, I don’t miss the drive and the shelling out of money right before the gift season. But it would be nice to get to see you and Sara again!
I’ve been thinking about Caniff a lot lately. I can’t seem to find reprints of a decent size so I’m all kinds of envious of the scrapbook.
Ohio would be the place to hunt up having a close look at originals…

I can see this is going to be a good movie for hats.
Took me a couple tries as Safari kept insisting that the a32fw.usb file was a text file, so I used Firefox to download it and this time it came down as a file. The interface is pretty poor and it takes 3 times as long to scan a page, but at least now I can wipe the hard drive clean on the PC and install an OS that actually works!!!
It’s all Dr. Landy’s fault.
Gotta be.
(((new blog looks sweet, Steve!!)))
Yes, the new blog looks cool – and Good As Lily is truly a good book

oh hell yes!
Dear Steve Lieber,
You are awesome.
That is all.
-Chu
*love*love*love*
I’m SO happy.
There are more coming down the pipeline, I’m afraid.
Dear Steve:
Will you draw my D&D characters?
I’m going to explode if/when you do Stringer Bell. I mean, in a nice way.
OMG Steve. That is so awesome. I am guessing that Sara is going to love you big time when she gets home for this act of nerdy hotness.
