J. Bone and the Case of the Dickish Juror: An Instagram Comic
By Andy Khouri
If you’ve been reading this site for any length of time you probably know that we’re big fans of J. Bone, the Canadian cartoonist who’s inking work you’ve seen in such beautiful Darwyn Cooke books as Will Eisner’s The Spirit, Wolverine/Doop, Justice League: The New Frontier, and The Shade. Of course Bone’s an artist in his own right, contributing variously exciting, funny and sexy work to comics like IDW’s The Rocketeer Adventures 2 and DC Retroactive: Wonder Woman.One of my favorite things about Bone is his tendency to sketch what he’s looking at and share it almost instantly over social media like Twitter and now Instagram, something I wish more artists would do. The other day he was distracted by a teacher yelling at her students, so he looked out his window and within seconds had sketched and shared this image of a cranky, smoking, thigh-high-boots-wearing Emma Frost-style disciplinarian that’s as authentic as it is cartoony. Along similar lines, Bone found himself in the worst of all situations today: jury duty. The artist brought along his sketchbook and mobile phone to keep his friends and fans abreast of the proceedings, and he gave us permission to share the results below.
