ANNO·​TRICESIMO·​DIE·​DVCENTESIMO·​SEPTVAGESIMO·​TERTIO·​VITÆ·​POVYA

Back in the university days I was in love with Sarah Scribbles , Dilbert, Garfield, The Awkward Yeti, and Oh No (Alex Norris). Reading them would make my day.

Now the thing about Sarah Andersen , is that almost all comics come from someone who doesn’t look like their comics. What made her pop up for me from the yesterday is just how much real her is her comic and so I think I somehow know her and have spent time with her.

In terms of Gutter and Sub-Graph Transfer , when you know someone from the media—and only in the media—all you have of them is your “reconstruction” of them as the message.

And so there resides a Sarah for me that I have known for a long time, that is unique to me, and is truly loved by me because she only exists in my graph and perhaps differs great lengths from her actual being.

Quotes & Excerpts

I wrote FANGS in its entirety, without ever seeing a response from someone else. And I think that kinda took some pressure off, and allowed me to work in a style that was a bit edgier, and a bit more macabre. And that really made the writing flow for me, and was very exciting.

↖︎ Sarah Andersen's Comic Process for FANGS

[The] thesis for fangs was very important to me. For example Jimmy’s empathy and patience is really important in allowing the characters to feel like they can be themselves around each other. And on the flip side, you have Elsie’s kind of intense self-confidence and self-acceptance, and I really tried to emphasize those qualities because it was what made the thesis work.

↖︎ Sarah Andersen's Comic Process for FANGS

I’m a big believer in starting messy. So my sketchbooks and my notebooks are very sloppy, and I tend to write just with sick figures,

and I’ll even go in with scissors, and like cut and paste panels.

And being that sloppy at the beginning is really a way for me to leave my perfectionism at the door and, let just very pure ideas flow.

The receiver actively fills this space (often subconsciously) with their own concepts, leading to interpretation, creativity, and inevitable misunderstanding.

A sender transmits a partial graph (a scaffold of nodes), and the receiver reconstructs it using their own Mind Graph, actively filling the gaps. Sarah C.
