A very popular 80s magical girl probably most famous state side for how her series ended, Minky Momo stars in this side scrolling adventure on the Famicom. In typical magical girl fashion, you'll stumble onto problems and use your magical powers to transform into different forms to help solve them. Solving them usually requires a little mini game. Turn into a nurse and play a puzzle game to cure an illness. Turn into a policewoman and race down the road. Turn into a detective and find the difference in the crime scene. Later on there's some actually platforming and even a boss. It's a short and easy game if I remember right but it has lots of style.

I guess I know what I'll play after RE4..

Throw-sized crazy quilt. Maybe 40x60? My first major FMQ attempt. It's made of dresses, skirts, t-shirts, ties, coaster rejects, "tumbling blocks" sample attempts, and many other kinds of scraps. Lots of memories in this bitch.

These pictures are from right after I finished it a few days ago. I will post nicer pictures of it later. More comments under the readmore.

The Creator's Guide to Comics Devices is OPEN!!!

comicsdevices.com

An online library of visual-narrative devices that are used in the medium of comics and other sequential art.

Happy Halloween! I'm really excited to be finally launching* what is maybe one of my most ambitious, largest work yet.
This online library is the next phase of a research project that began in May 2020, when I first mused on how comics as a field doesn't have a resource that catalogues devices used in the medium. Like, theatre has devices, so does literature, and film! So why shouldn't comics?

I always had an interest in comics studies and analysis. I love reading, making and thinking comics. However most of my knowledge was intuitive - I learned comics from osmosis and experience. This is true for many of my peers. Speaking about comics as a creator is hard, because we don't have a robust system of language. When we had to speak, many of us tend to reach for the language developed for film by film practitioners. If there is language specific to comics, it's either scattered in multiple blogs or hidden away in academic journals.

The Comics Devices library is meant to aggregate everything and everybody into a single hub! After exploring some multiple resources, alongside some original, independent research, here is the first edition!

Note: The Comics Devices project is still a work-in-progress! It's not final, nor will it ever be. This is why I am seeking contributors to help build this library. Translations, comics examples, etc. There is a lot of work to do! If you are interested, reply to this post or submit an expression of interest on this page.

Have fun everyone!!
