sketchbook #4: Carla Speed McNeil

I have been known to call this one my favorite page in the entire sketchbook (I’ve said that about others too, but I say it about this one a lot): a brilliant use of the four-panel grid by Carla Speed McNeil, a cartoonist’s cartoonist if ever there was one.

If you don’t know McNeil’s stuff, I heartily encourage you to buy her books from her site, where you can also read the first chapters of some of them. (I usually point people toward Talisman as a good starting point.)
