A friend of mine has a course on dissent in America this semester, and he's working on the topic of dissent in popular culture (particularly in non-mainstream comics) using Jhonen Vasquez as an example. To mix things up, he asked if I could design his handout so it doesn't look like your typical bland presentation. He told me it'd be cool to blog it, so here it is.

The WHEE! balloon pointing to Fillerbunny and the sound effects in the bottom right were particularly fun to do.
The copy in the panel showing J.V. is actually from another balloon from Squee! or JtHM. Tried to mimic his brush style in Illustrator, but it's a poor attempt. Anyone who's tried to hand letter in Illustrator using brushes knows what a bitch it is. Hopefully Adobe will improve this in future versions of the software.
