Another series to accompany my Masters of Comics and Panels Alone projects. This time: clouds! There’s something about the way a cartoonist draws clouds that says so much. I’ve been noticing this lately, and I’ve got this weird thing about cloud drawings (if only mine could be so great). So we’e are starting off with an image from a book I’m about to review, Lewis Trondheim’s comics essay Désoeuvre. Trondheim’s clouds have a wild and lively look to them that adds to the general appearance in his drawings of a world that is alive, animated almost (his trees have a similar effect).
