Fair question, but my intention was to make it appear as if Joleen were talking to someone off-screen like a husband or a friend.
Yes, I know before I put this to publication in another book, I should make modifications, but I think it brings to mind something totally unrelated to the joke itself. The fact is, most of the people who I showed it to, initially, knew that Joleen was talking to someone not pictured until I asked, "Does it look like she's talking to an invisible man?".
"Oh, yeah, maybe, now that you mention it." some people answered.
Afterwards, I began formulating the theory that most people don't notice imperfections until someone points them out. I experience this many, many times in my profession. When I see the mistakes and faults and imperfections in things I draw (or anything else for that matter) others do not. So, I thank them for the compliments and move on to the next drawing, without bringing to their attention, the flaws.
I think it’s clear that she is engaged with someone of screen 👍
ReplyDeleteShe is thinking out loud and the off the screen counselor is trying to make her find the root of her issue. No imperfection here. They are just not following the story.
