▪ While the artist must respect the writer’s
vision, the writer must accept what the artist can complete by deadline. ▪ Reconsider bringing a story that you've long
been aching to tell. In 8 hours, it may not satisfy that burning need. ▪ If you do your text by computer, running
spellcheck before you insert the text instead of after will make
editing easier. ▪ Make sure everyone works with heavy bond
paper and dark enough pencils so their art can scan more easily. ▪ Clarify your rules. ▪ The simplest art can accompany the most
complex story. ▪ A splash page is a great way to up your page
count. ▪ Stress that what’s most in the spirit of the
project is to complete 8 imperfect pages in a single work shift rather than
get polished pages carefully drawn and finely inked. ▪ And if your faculty advisor wants to make a
mock comic ad about a mongoose no one else can see, you let him.
