Experimental Comic of Betty Boop Being Her Dumb Usual Self

 

An experimental comic of Betty Boop being her dumb usual self. This was originally planned to be longer, not sure how long as I was just coming up with things off of my head. But yeah, was planned to be a multi-paged comic. But, I had to experiment first before I made something bigger and so I did. My silly brain just found out about the whole "comic frames" (or I knew about it and forgot) tool thing on Clip Studio Paint and god, I think this will help me make comics easier and more "organized" than I thought. It was very helpful and I enjoyed using it, my god wow.

As for the story behind this, was gonna have her walk around more in the environment and see what happens as I write along. But since I kept it short, it ends short. Was also playing around with the fonts too. I used two different fonts on accident without realizing. First front used is Rage Italic and the second font used is Palace Script MT. I wanna remind myself to use Rage Italic for Betty again if I think of using font specific text boxes for my comics.

Why is Betty just walking straight into fire of all things aside from her natural born stupidity? Well, aside from the joke of it being warmer, was planning on it leading to something else originally when I wanted this to be longer. Probably something to do with hell, something hellish or Bimbo returning back from hell (not sure if I should tag him just because his name is mentioned?) and Betty asking how he's doing and the story goes on from there. I would like to return to an idea like that in the future.

While I wish I could have made a full comic, I am glad I got to make a short little comic, as I don't think I've make a comic anything in ages. I see that as more progress at least, and at least I went a step further even if not that far ahead.

Enough chat for now, just enjoy the dumb little comic of the dumb girl about to cook herself alive.
