Talking Heads....blah, blah, blah

Take a gander at the book so far (in miniature). I am unhappy with what I see. Too many talking heads. All I see are talking heads! Either I'm going to invent a cutting edge, new type of graphic novel--talking heads as metaphor for the meaninglessness of life--or I've got to liven up the set.

I prefer option two, liven up the set. How? Today Bill, a university professor friend of mine, generously gave me a tour of his campus (WWU) and I took photos of the classroom in which the characters above will act out their drama.

Imagine 100 students all looking bored.

The artist contemplating the tedium of talking heads.

I can't wait to fill these chairs with my cast of characters....but for 200 pages? Yikes, I'm toast.

My first thought is, "This is impossible! How will adding inert desks improve the action?!"

Brains are wired to solve problems and I've got a big problem....how do I increase the importance of the graphics in this graphic novel? My, my, my. This is a difficultly of Biblical proportions.
