Story Notes

This was orignally created as a content-free demonstration tool for my Art of the Comic Book class. The tools were (1) using ruling pen for straight lines, (2) Ames Lettering Guide lines and (3) Speedball C6 and B6 nibs for lettering.

Like similar Accidental Genius comics GrubHub Delivery and Plate Ground, this story is rendered with traditional media tools:

Herbie's gibberish is a demonstration of the most difficult characters to letter clearly (E, S, 8... made up of 3 horizontal strokes that need space between them). The post-inked content is from my undying obsession with Yvonne Craig's Batgirl. The idea to spoof All Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder came from Art of the Comic Book All-Star Olivia Dinnall.
