Invisible Ink
Now that you’ve squirted lemon juice on your computer monitor...
I almost didn’t draw anything for this entry. But then again, that would completely defeat the purpose of this whole blog thing. And anyway, any ol’ artiste can create a white on white painting... I guess it’s kinda like the conundrum of the Invisible Man himself.
To portray this character in any visual medium presents certain problems. The prevailing idea is to clothe him. Leaving him nude, and thus truly, 100% invisible, would be all together unsuitable to people who, whether going to a movie or, God-forbid, this website, want to see something. So, we put him in a smoking jacket and deprive him of his very modus operandi. Kinda a gip either way. But at least with the velour smoking jacket he’s comfortable.
