comic books sequential art

Me and my brother learnt to read from my dad's 1982 Beano annual, so there's always been something special to me about comics, but I've not tried to illustrate my own since I was a kid, I think I've always been a bit intimidated by the prospect?

But recently finding comics that are messy or kooky or scruffy or fragmented has really made me realise that sequential art is whatever you make it, it doesn't only exist in the realms of cartoons or stylised superhero images, its just all about storytelling, in its most basic raw picture based form.

My Mum got me this book for Christmas and jeez its a goodun, its so clever and insightful but without any pretentiousness or complication, its more like a train of thought being shared with the viewer, open to agreements or otherwise?? I really love Mouni's style, all the shifty characters and pencil markings. It made me giggle and it made me confused and it made me go yes exactly!! Its really made me re-evaluate how I view illustration and where I think it sits within the world, although its also fueled quite the number of existential crises. 

I enjoyed making this little comic way more than I thought I did , and I'm definitely going to keep using this format as a way of presenting my ideas. It throws up some interesting debates between style and content, what story am I trying to present and how can I present this in a way that flows and compliments the story being told?

Playing around with frames could be an interesting thing to consider in the future, how can I challenge the normal idea of frames and play around with composition?
