Change a single letter and change the word game

I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

My weekly comic strip Not That Magic debuted on this date in 2020, so Vernor Magus and the gang turn four today -- woot!

ran across some more Fifties faces doodles I did three years ago -- they might come in handy

I have recently discovered [and am smitten by] the graphic novel and illustration art of Jon McNaught so I had to share. (You can see lots more here.)

cartoonists influencing Not That Magic

Dik Browne

The clean simplicity of Browne's character designs throughout his career, and his hand-hewn ink line in Hägar, have always been an inspiration to me.

Anthony Auffret

Again, clean and simple, and even more hands-on -- clearly hand-lettered, and with borders and word balloons inked without a ruler. I love this feeling of something made by a real human being.

Thom Zahler

I admire Zahler's graphic novel series Love and Capes - an ongoing comic-book adventure story, but broken down into sections of four same-sized panels with a punchline, so that it could also be run as a regular comic strip. I dig that storytelling rhythm.

Gisèle Lagacé

Lagacé is an artist I've been following for years, who also uses that rhythm of a series of four-panel punchline strips to tell an ongoing story.

Tonči Zonjić

Zonjić is better than anyone [IMHO] when it comes to a creative use of black, white, and one single tone of gray -- that was a huge influence on how I approached Not That Magic.
