Palomar used to be my favorite part of those comics
what the frick happened to Gilbert? his comics turned to fricking trash afret adding Fritz, its just a bunch of weird fetishes without any substance
Xaime is still going great and I like old maggie and hopey, but man, I miss old Palomar stories
That's a thousand times worse than the callus on my middle finger, which was half an inch thick and the width of a dime when I was in art school and drawing several hours a day, every day of the week. I might hold my pencils in my palm for special shading effects on occasion, but that is one super fricked up grip.
>A Rubiks cube has like 40 quintillion combinations.
Yes, but that's due to the number of action...you know take a course in group theory and come back to me.
I appreciate the math, but why are you assuming pixels for a physical medium? You could have way more colors and details, not to mention thinks like type of ink used, depth of the material, etc.
what does that math has to do with the content? Its not like you can get to those "combinations" by running random results, someone has to imagine that shit
>hear about a critically acclaimed masterwork of the comics medium >it's just full of fanservice and women with gigantic breasts
Everything turned out better than expected.
I can randomly pick a manga from any read manga online website and it has more aesthetically pleasing art. People trying to hawk western indie comics for not being capeshit generally don't get how much of an appeal the art is. This doesn't look appealing. Twitter artists draw better boobs and more exciting art.
>I can randomly pick a manga from any read manga online website and it has more aesthetically pleasing art.
Bullshit. I picked a random page from a random SoL manga and tis shit.
Beto's art deteriorated more and more after volume 1 (50 issues). Jaime's art remained great for the most part.

Love and Rockets is full of shit I don't care about and it's still compelling enough to be one of my favorite reads in comics.
Try again at another time.
This is some kind of pedophile comic, isn't it.
Surprisingly, no, although there is quite a bit of lewdness and big boobs.
Venus is a very innocent character anon, don't sexualize her
Beto is a treasure
>dates pipo and pipo's son
Yeah, it's one of those. Nice breasts tho.

I haven't read too much modern Beto, but that comic he did with Darwyn Cooke, The Twilight Children, was dull as frick.
It's Love and Rockets you fricking casual.
you should be able to recognize that art, read more comics
>he doesn't know love and rockets
close, its a gay comic
same thing tbh
A Marvel and DC comic page is 1,988 by 3,057 pixels, or 6,077,316 pixels.
Each pixel may take a on of 256^3 = 16,777,216 different colors.
So a page is limited to 101,960,443,232,256 possible pixel combinations.
And the average comic is around 24 pages, which means the number of possibilities (even accounting for the nonsensical ones) is 2.47 quadrillion.
Large? Depends on the context.
Infinite? Nope.
>A Marvel and DC comic page
We're talking about the comic book medium here anon, not about assembly-line schlock products
The Big Tiddy Family
What if you draw on bigger paper?
Still finite.
How does one use the pen like that? I mean it's gotta start during childhood, and that is one weird way to hold a pen.
Not a clue
Maybe it helps him make small movements?
Look what it does to his thumb.

No idea, I grab it like a caveman
What if you went bigger

Your math is way off. A Rubiks cube has like 40 quintillion combinations.
>Your math is way off.
No.
>A Rubiks cube has like 40 quintillion combinations.
Yes, but that's due to the number of action...you know take a course in group theory and come back to me.
You're just multiplying the number of pixels by the number of colors. That's not how you get permutations of a grid.
It's 16777216^6077316 not 16777216*6077316
Think of it like this.
2 pixels: For each color of the 1st pixel the 2nd pixel can take 16777216 values, so 16777216*16777216 or 16777216^2.
It's 6.59*10^(43906905) per page.
shouldn't it be (1988!x3057!)^(256^3)?
The factorial has no role here.
Think of it in simpler values. Let's say there are 3 colors (red, green, blue)
1 pixel = [r], [g] or [b] = 3
2 pixels = [r,r], [r,g], [r,b], [g,r], [g,g], [g,b], [b,r]. [b,g], [b,b] = 3^2
3 pixels = [r,r,r], [r,r,g], [r,r,b], [r,g,r], [r,g,g], [r,g,b], [r,b,r], [r,b,g], [r,b,b], [g,r,r], [g,r,g], [g,r,b], [g,g,r], [g,g,g], [g,g,b], [g,b,r], [g,b,g], [g,b,b], [b,r,r], [b,r,g], [b,r,b], [b,g,r], [b,g,g], [b,g,b], [b,b,r], [b,b,g], [b,b,b] = 3^3 = 27
Still not infinite.
You must be a hoot at parties.
any number, no matter how large, will always be closer to zero than infinity.
What if it takes infinity to get to zero?
Two Love and Rockets threads at the same time, when there hasn't been a single one in probably over a year, is kind of fishy.
Wrong. I can think of 2.48 quadrillion variations of functional comic book pages right now that I havent seen before, and I'm just a normal guy.
Same for me.

I would rather my cute and funny not have any forest or trees. Just smoooth soft earth
is the joke that they all look the same and are mundane characters in a mundane world?
Beto is based, but for me it’s Jaime
Does that lady shave one pit and leave the other au naturel?
Whats the name of this comic?
Love and Rockets.
>hear about a critically acclaimed masterwork of the comics medium

Everything turned out better than expected.
Literature + big fockin breasts is a winning combination.
>big fockin breasts is a winning combination
ftfy
Big breasts alone won't get critical acclaim, unfortunately.
Other artists also have weird grips. Like Eric Larsen.
And Tradd Moore. Who also has a pen lump.
Why are western SOL comics so basic looking? Like a Japanese SOL manga will have really nice looking art. this looks like a coloring book
It's a mexican SOL comic you fricktard
Mexico is in the western world.
a japanese manga SOL won't have really nice looking art anon, you're looking at the outliers because it's a foreign media

looks cool, what is the name of it?
A Centaur's Life
It looks like it would bore me to tears, but the art looks pleasing.
It gets really weird.
I've read guro hentai that got boring on me.
It's definitely not boring.
Looks boring, and now the art is not as good.
That girl looks ay cuter than anything in the OP and that snake is drawn with more fluidity and dimension.
Beto's art deteriorated more and more after volume 1 (50 issues). Jaime's art remained great for the most part.
I like my green-haired girls.
someone should edit the hernandez comics and only leave sex scenes, while deleting everything rests. It also should be called sex and rockets
Beto does do porn comics
>try reading Love and Rockets
>it's boring as a turd on a log
I'm glad you all enjoy it. I'll be going back to Usagi Yojimbo.
Love and Rockets is full of shit I don't care about and it's still compelling enough to be one of my favorite reads in comics.

To my undying shame, I nutted to Freaky Peaky in the last issue.
