Lucky Luke, Tintin and Spirou were my favorites when I was a kid. André Franquin would draw characters that looked like they had steel springs in all their joints. Everything was tense with potential energy.
Not really read any Spirou, but I'll have to get to it. I think I always got given Lucky Luke, a little bit of Asterix and on one occasion a Titeuf, but never again!
@@StripPanelNaked I'm unfamiliar with Titeuf. Had to google him/it. The drawing style is certainly dynamic haha! André Franquin could draw machines and cars so they almost jumped out of the page. I still dream about getting to try a Zorglumobile some day. I mean, we're in the future, aren't we? I want my flying car.
Wow, I didn't expect to see a video on this topic when I woke up this morning and, by Jove, it's great. I used to read these books all the time when I was a kid and I still think they're quite underrated, which makes it even better when someone is talking about them. Strange that I never noticed the read colourring when I was young, or maybe that makes it even more ingenious. EDIT: Red I meant.
First, Herge. Now Morris. I look forward to your Uderzo video in 2021! (Or, wait, even crazier -- Francois Schuiten's use of architecture and background detail. =)
@@StripPanelNaked Don't you quit on me now! You're not allowed to leave until you've done episodes on Uderzo, Peyo, Schuiten, and (just to round things out with someone newer) Jose Luis Munuera. That should take us through 2030. Then I'll consider your application for retirement. ;-)
I feel like this kind of bold color choices to accent on emotions and feelings of characters is not accented anywhere else as strongly as in Lucky Luke. I wonder if author of Jojo ever used these as inspiration
I love tintin and lucky luke. I am trying to get the whole tintin collection. But i have like 3 lucky luke books and it was my moms but they are quite old so half of the pages are loose so i will probably get some newer lucky luke books
I'm not sure Morris did the coloring. Many of these Belgian comics were colored by a studio, using cheap and simple colors. Even realistic comics were colored this way.
This is true, and despite coloring one of the most prolific franco belgian comics, theres not much information on which studio did the coloring before the 80s :( i've only seen studio leonardo be credited on the 80s forward
In comics, as manga? I'm not the biggest reader, but they do something similar in b&w often with definition and detail, I think. They're also a lot more expressive generally in use of sound effects and dialogue.
These videos help me so much with creating my comics. Thank you so much!!!
Safety Blanket Thanks for checking them out, and glad they’re useful!!

I can never find any Spirou comics. Still, I like Lucky Luke, but the early works were not as good as the later stuff
Thats one of the part that I love from Lucky Luke's panels.
Same! You can tell Morris was having fun with them I think.
@@StripPanelNaked the good thing its that most of those titles are available in more languages already.

Yggdrasil Yeah I read a bunch of these in French, but didn’t revisit them until more recently. They’re good fun I think!
@@StripPanelNaked Indeed. I'm from Sweden so our experiences reading them are proabably a bit different because of the translations.
I'm finally realising that I should just dedicate a notebook to the things you talk about in these episodes, it's going to be hugely helpful.
Cat hahaha :)

In the next few years, if I'm still here.... 😅

Thank you so much for covering Morris!
Thanks for checking it out!
Ohhhh so this is where the 2001 cartoon by Xilam took those coloring cues...

Whatever the character was feel embarrassed or feeling sick or even scare and worry they had like a green color expression
Very insightful, these videos help me foster such a greater appreciation and love for comics. Much appreciated!
Thanks Lewis, glad you dig 'em!
Would love to see one about charles forsmans comics!
I love tintin and lucky luke. I am trying to get the whole tintin collection. But i have like 3 lucky luke books and it was my moms but they are quite old so half of the pages are loose so i will probably get some newer lucky luke books
yahoooo! more lucky luke please
Thanks :D I'm working on a graphic novel that I hope is appreciated
Good luck!
Nice

Have you ever seen this style used in anime?
