Fantastic work, John. Deja vu is an incredibly powerful, moving instance of thought. But like a dream, it's gone as quickly as you can recall it. This is one of my favourite comic series on the internet, and I am baffled you don't have a book yet. Are you a fan of Jeff Brown's work?
John, your work was so powerful in the monochromatic style and, somehow, it's even more moving with your addition of color. You keep blowing me away, man.
I often find myself wondering what memories I'm creating for my sons which, honestly, can be both a wonderful and a terrifying thought.
Love the sense of progression implicit in the dialogue free panels - juxtaposed nicely with the alternately tinted and recomposed flashback. there was a sensation of deja vu conveyed here, especially in that moment of realisation he has, those two panels side by side.
Sorry Comics are a collection of autobiographical stories from my life. I started this process in 2006 during a tumultuous break-up and I can't seem to shake the habit. Hopefully, you'll find them to be humorous, self-effacing, awkward, funny, uncomfortable and humiliating (for both you and me).
Stunning work as always. I love your use of color here.
ReplyDeleteIt keeps striking me how many of your stories remind me of some of my own. Thanks for sharing them.
Love the pacing in this one.
ReplyDeleteThe panels with no words are powerful. It helps the pace of the story, but also makes the reader feel the serenity of the woods.
ReplyDeleteGreat work as always.

ReplyDeleteLoved it. Gotta get my daughter back out in the woods. It's been at least a year!
ReplyDeletedamn that was epic. great comic.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of some of Jeffrey Brown's work. Specifically, Clumsy and Unlikely.
ReplyDeleteshitty terrible
ReplyDeleteGreat! I really like the color choices.
ReplyDeleteSorry, when I wrote "shitty terrible" earlier, what I really meant was "beautiful delicate."

little sense was made.
ReplyDeleteWas nice! but it just... ends.
wow John, you're comics are so real, y'know?
ReplyDeleteYou're getting really excellent at pacing a story and recreating an honest memory.
ReplyDeleteRandy!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the feeling of Deja Vu + Traversing the forest as a child perfectly, looking forward to your next comic!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a Will Oldham track Apocalypse No
