Raw scans of today’s WIP with thumbnails. The current page, completed aside from white media. Scolding someone in the first person plural is one of those lycanthropologically insightful linguistic tics. #cartoonist #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #webcomic #webcomics

The top half of a comix page. Two young man stand shamefacedly while a third scolds them.

The bottom half of the same page. One of the two young men talkes to the third. The third is flattered but dismissive.

Rough preliminary drawing of two comix pages. The previous images make up the second page.

Raw scans of today’s WIP with thumbnails. Yesterday’s pencils and a little more inked. I enjoy the ditheistic profanity of both gods fucking, but then I’m the sort of person who wonders if the F in JFC is a gerundive or a verb. #cartoonist #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #webcomic #webcomics

The final panel from yesterday, fully inked.

Two comix panels. Two young man stand shamefacedly while a third scolds them.

Rough preliminary drawing of two comix pages, including the previous images.

Raw scans of today’s WIP with thumbnails. Bottom half of the current page pencils completed, mostly inked. Look, aging in dog years on four feet doesn’t guarantee emotional maturity beyond any other three year old. #cartoonist #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #webcomic #webcomics

The bottom half of comix page, consisting of a tier of three and single horizontal panel beneath. A young woman sits astride an ATV. A young man climbs onto the ATV behind the young woman while another other three watch from a distance. One of them gives a thumbs up as they prepare to ride off. He then criticizes the other two, who sulk as the couple ride away.

A rough preliminary drawing of a two page spread of comics. The previous image occupies the bottom of the first page.

I'm reading a manga that has been scanlated in Spanish
While I try to read it, I translate the most difficult sentences with deepl.

I wonder if there's a comic reader that would allow me to add notes with my translations, such that if I hover the mouse where there's a note I could see the text I left there.

I know that pdf readers can do that but I want to do this with cbz files.

Any help / suggestions please?

Raw scans of today’s WIP with thumbnails. I penciled half a page and inked a panel today, which, for anyone keeping track, makes a full page penciled and not nearly enough inked. #cartoonist #comic #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #webcomic #webcomics
