I sometimes think there is nothing so delightful as drawing.
-Vincent van Gogh
If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
- Michelangelo Buonarroti

copper

Posted by Charley Parker at 10:31 pm

copper
Kazu Kibuishi’s charming, wistful, and deceptively simple series of single page web comics. A boy an his (talking) dog drift through various settings, real or imagined, while musing on a variety of thoughts. Sort of Calvin and Hobbes meet Little Nemo, with emphasis on the latter. The strips are beautifully drawn and colored. Read one of the recent ones to see how beautiful they are, then scroll to the bottom and read them all from the earliest. When you’re done and dying for more, explore the rest of the Bolt City site.

There is also a copper strip on the preview for Flight Comics.

    I saw the copper story in Flight, but I like these even better.
