DRAWINGS BASED UPON DIALOGUE, PUNS, AND PARODIES
Drawings based upon puns or parodies on popular songs and slang phrases although ever so well applied, become tiresome. Don't harp on this class of joke, only turn out one occasionally. The ordinary dialogue is the most marketable. Always place your figures in a position in keeping with the wording of the joke. The reading matter to a joke is called the " caption." In speaking of it use this term, as it covers all that applies to that part of the picture.
COMPANION PICTURES
Two or more companion pictures telling a story are called serials, or in speaking of them in another sense, one would refer to them as a series of drawings. The story usually starts off in a normal state and ends in acrobatic confusion. For instance :
" There lays poor Finnegan, dead to the world, and diva a bit does he know phat • good toime he's haven !"
" Oi say, Finnegan, wake oop ! and see how yer eljoyin yer sehlape."
SOLILOQUIZING
This style of joke is called a soliloquy, which means -talking to one's self.
COLOR VALUES IN BLACK AND WHITES
If you are not familiar with pen and ink drawings and do not understand color values (lights and shadows), you might draw as nearly as possible in outline and gradually develop into the former. One is apt to overdo his sketches unless he knows exactly where and how to put in shadows to get the best possible results.
