New Fun Strip: The Amassing Spider-Man (Patreon)

Raw inks. For print I'd be cleaning stuff up, shoring up the white ink lettering (one day I'll learn to drop in lettering, reverse the black letters to white-on-black, etc), remove any stray marks/dirt/flaking, etc. Lower the "Steve Ditko" line of text, edit "Here comes more Spider-Man movies" to "Here come more Spider-Man movies!" -- I was working off a previous idea of "Look out" running directly into that line, echoing the theme song from the 60's Spider-Man cartoon. 

Bonus writing process notes: Whether you find any of it funny or not, this is an example of "added value", with more jokes built in to the main premise. In four panels you get a variety of subjects, jokes, digs and doses of depressing reality. And an Ayn Rand joke, although it's not an actual dig at her (I've managed that in earlier Fun Strips), just some irony in regards to her atheism. 

Bonus cartooning advice notes: See panel 3? Those foreground figures of the Spider-Man villain action figures (or statues, whatever)? Don't draw foreground figures or objects like this. The objects have too much detail and the linework on foreground vs background is too similar for everything to "pop". Those figures shouldn't turn into a morass of lines the way they do here. Color, if this ever gets colored for publishing, will help, but even so, it should read better in b&w. I decided after several attempts to keep my hand steady and get it done at the size I was drawing (my hand is giving me some problems lately, which sucks) that this was good enough for a four-panel gag that, if published, will make up part of a page. And I can always fuck with it another time. For now, get the thing done and get the jokes out there, you can't always make every panel work the way you wanted. At least I can't.
