Hi there fellow forumites,
following idea:
- someone posts a non-lettered comic strip.
- it should be suggestive but open to interpretation
- everyone is free to add speech balloons or sfx and simply do the comic lettering on that strip
- we are not just looking for nothing but the ultimate punchline - this is a comic drawing/lettering practise thread. You could chose to make it open-ended or try to make people laugh.
- Just try to tell the story
- of course, this thread also lends itself for practising drawing. In fact, it's meant that way also: everyone please come up with your comic strips.
- Mind the space which will be needed for the lettering when you post drawings.
- I suggest we post lowres previews of the pics along with text-only links to high-res versions of the pics.
If anyone needs help on comic book lettering, there's excellent tutorials on
http://www.balloontales.com (http://www.balloontales.com/)
which are mostly directed at users of Adobe Illustrator, but I found Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/)can do the job, too...
I am not that good at drawing, but I will start off with the following pics:

I did a lettered version, too. Feel free to skip the spoiler tag if you feel you would like to letter the strip without having looked at mine first.

you see, I gotta practise both drawing and comic lettering...:D
Looking forward to your versions!
Hope, we can kick this off...:D
