I think current Marvel artist get a note that says " When in doubt draw someone sitting and eating around huge dialogue balloons."

Thanks for the background on Wood at the top. I've only seen this digitally so it's very cool to see this as an artifact.

In the late 80s, I sent a letter to Todd McFarland via the Marvel NY office. 6 months later, I received a reply (answers to questions, critique of my work.) In the reply was THIS photocopied page. Haven't seen it in decades. But I remember it like it was yesterday. Seeing these 22 panels was like discovering the Rosetta Stone.

I think Woody is romanticized because was one of the few guys who really tried. He was as talented as anyone, was well known, could get work anywhere, wanted to make some real money and so went off on his own, didn't make the money, and fate wasn't kind to him so he ended up sick and suicidal. If he had been born thirty years later he would have been one of the Image guys, made a lot of money, and his story would have been different.

I think it's likely that Wood had an addictive personality, and you can see it manifest in the Artist Edition of his work. He'd only been in comics a few years when in the early 50's something clicked in his vision and the work became increasingly more polished and intense (with absolutely no shortcuts). As a reader that stuff is mesmerizing to look at, but imagine what it must've felt like to discover and create it. I think he was on a high that compelled him to work his ass to the point of self destruction and if you look at the work, he must've gone without much sleep for years. It's a bit childish, but easily understood how bitter and cynical he became by the lack of reward and recognition he felt he deserved and how, at a certain point, he created an assembly line method to pay the bills. But he always had a side hustle, an idealistic dream, a scheme to hit it big, pretty much up to the end.

I'm 40 years old. I've been into comics and drawing for most of my life. This is the FIRST time I've seen this! Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention! EDIT: the 22 panels, not the Disney orgy. But, thanks for that, too!

My first editor in American Comics - the peerless Scott Peterson - sent me a printout of Wally Wood's '22 Panels' in my box of DC Artboard.

Ben Day was an important printer/illustrator. The dots that make up a color halftone are called 'Ben Day Dots.'

You guys are on fire with content. Much love from Canada!

Great video, guys. I still have my photo copy I got from my storyboard supervisor back in the 90's. The piece can be a wonderful inspiration and reference when you've hit a wall. The set ups definitely translate to film staging and cinematography. Cool stuff.

I like to imagine Wally Wood coming down a mountain with these on two stone tablets. I'm definitely guilty of swiping no.2, extreme close up, more than once. Great video, everyone picking up a pencil should know about this

I think that a huge poster of this would be a great piece of mercy for Cartoonist Kayfabe. Maybe a variant edition with the different panels 're-done by Ed and Jim and Tom, too!

Merch, not mercy.

I’ve been working on my own comic which has far too many conversation pages, and the best way I could figure to make interstitial panels look engaging was to borrow from the 22 panels poster!

i've had my own laminated copy for the last 6 years.

Great to see a video on Wood.

I've always been amazed by Wood's "22 Panels...". It's basically the work of a fantastic draftsman trying to make his job easier. Even these simplified drawings are on such a level as to be inspiring. Thanks for the video!

holy shit, I've never seen this. fucking righteous, thank you!

Think I have mentioned it in the comments before but the Wood biography 'Wally's World' is well worth a read.

Brilliant fellas Wally Woods panels!

Haha, I didn’t know he did that Disney thing 😆

Interesting look guys. I have had a fascination with Wally Wood's art but always run across interesting books and pieces when I am strapped for cash. In this internet age of wonders, I have no excuse.

I have a TPB of Wally Wood Mad stuff. It's very cool.

so thankful for Cartoonist Kayfabe

Definitely with Ivan on this one

Oh a snack! Thank you!

FYI - I took a screen shot of this for myself.... :P
