Have you worked with an artist whose instincts were just completely baffling to you? Like--they left an unusual amount of space when characters had nothing to say and no space when you needed there to be room for copy?
I had one of those recently and it made dialoguing the book nearly impossible.

It's crazy to me that many writers don't do their own balloon placement. I've never not done it. It's key.
Hero of the beach!
We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.

That story gives you all the context that you need.
I think there’s a difference between characters mentioning what movie is in theaters and having the punchline to a joke being dependent on you having seen that movie.
I would advise writers attempting humor in comics not to make pop culture references. Not only will they not age well but you can't count on your audience being familiar with the source material. Better to have it reference itself and give your audience all of the context it needs to get the joke.
I'm sure the Gold Star families who lost loved ones in this Iran attack will be comforted by this.
complete insanity
The front line if there was any justice in this world.
This guy really does struggle to read, doesn't he? I know he gave Obama shit for using the teleprompter but at least Obama didn't stop in weird places and inflect as though sentences were over when they weren't.
The Trump regime is withholding $259 million in Medicaid funding from Minnesota over loose allegations of "fraud."
Meanwhile, Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.
The "law and order" president.
Trump is a stochastic terrorist.
Apparently Turner Classic Movies played the movie Gaslight during the State of the Union Address. Well played, Turner Classic Movies. Well played.
After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time."
Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.
SOTU taking on some ominous lynch mob vibes as the almost entirely white and overwhelmingly male Republicans in the chamber stand and jeer at their Democratic colleagues while their angry, screaming leader eggs them on.
Trump wants us to believe he’s strong when in reality he’s a historically weak president with an administration run by depraved incompetent sycophants taking wannabe authoritarian actions that are constantly backfiring with rejection in the courts, public opinion, and elections.
Lots of folks asking me who I’d like to vote for in 2028 and my answer reminds the same: it’s AOC.
But I’ll vote for whichever Dem the primary voters choose as their candidate.
More billions than Elon behind this abomination.
Please tell fellow Brits to look at what’s happening in Minnesota; to US economy; to US’ standing in the world.
Brexit really isolated you, 🇬🇧.
But if you pursue this course, you’ll be more alone than you can even imagine.
Putin will be overjoyed!
This really is a great picture:
Any chance to repost this classic Busta Rhymes moment
No idea.
Kung hei fat choi!
This
It does to my eye. Others in the know have confirmed it.
Just as a reminder--this is how I hold a pen--so, as you might imagine, my thumb is very much an active participant in the drawing process.
I'll do what I can.
