Description
Something I did for [link] (which is a lovely idea), the challenge was to draw a short comic based on a scene from a book.
This is from the second to last chapter of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish, the fourth book in theincreasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. (So, uh, spoilers.) I would transcribe the whole scene but I'm too lazy - I'll just copy what I wrote when I posted it to tumblr.
Arthur and Fenchurch trek to see God’s Final Message to His Creation, written in fire in letters thirty feet high on the far side of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains (not the top, whoops.) They find Marvin, the chronically depressed robot, who is finally dying, being many times older than the universe thanks to time travel shenanigans. They bring him along, but he can’t read it because his eyes are going, so they help him to the coin telescope (not binoculars, whoops. OK, that was deliberate because it was easier to draw letters fitting in that shape). He reads the Message and dies, maybe content for the only time ever.
Feedback please! I've had very little experience drawing comics and would love to hear some criticism, tips, etc. Anything obviously and stupidly flawed, that would be good to know!
