Who is the most god-tier prebeg who ever lived?

>>7737989 (OP)
Didn't schulz have a wrist problem by the last two decades of Peanuts?

>>7737989 (OP)
His work prior to, and outside of, peanuts seemed above beg to me. His work is also among some of the most influential out there, so can we even really say peanuts was 'beg' level? I don't think that appeal was accidental.

>>7737989 (OP)
Jim Davis

>>7737999
Show his work outside Peanuts?

>>7738000

>>7737993

You could fill this entire thread with cartoonists that made it big.

God he sucks as an artist. He's not even funny. How did he pull off such a successful series?

>>7738763
Are we really using scribbles he gave to fans, to his actual drawings?
>>7738806
hiring good writers.

>>7738806
by literally making an underground comic of his rabbit character and having a producer come upon it by chance

>>7738806
He's appealing to normies.
>>7738813
You're right, his art still suck tho.
>>7738848
This

>>7738848
every success seems just as random as this

Scott Adams is up there, that bald chud can make money off his shitty art.

>>7738986
its a shame he an heroed with two shots straight in the back of his bloodstream

The point of art is to convey ideas. And the target market. Even a simply drawn piece can be powerful.

The top comic strip got a hearty chuckle out of me

>>7739236
This comic made me commiserate with Peppermint Patty

On these grounds alone I think the success of the artists behind them is warranted

George Herriman. Great stuff.

beg?

>>7738763
good thing hes a writter

Looks like just pasted a photo of himself.

I have never been on /ic/ before in my life and I don't know what "prebeg" means, but perhaps you will like Saul Steinberg's self-portrait from 1949. I love this picture.

next you people will say that Bill Watterson is bad at drawing

What's with this wave of threads on the same topic?

Pre beginner. It just means a shit artist.

>>7742434
Doesn't really mean shit artist, it means "artist with little to no understanding of drawing fundamentals". An artist that meets that criteria can still make pleasant artwork, albeit its not common but this thread is filled with examples.

>>7742679
fair enough

>>7738763
Why is Marge saying "Hey !" ???

The actual artwork is of little importance in comics. It just has to fill in the blanks between dialogue.

>>7747938
Disagree mostly. The essential element of the comic is the sequence of images. If you remove all text, you can still tell a story through illustration only. If you remove the images, it's no longer a comic at all. Most important therefore are composition and panelling, to facilitate the readability, flow and pacing of the narrative and conveying mood. Panelling here is a specific type of compositional skill here. This does mean that detail, realism or perfect anatomy and perspective are less important, but it's still a visual component that is most important for comics.

>but this professional artist doesn't draw well! why are my drawings bad to you!?

>>7738986
Anyone who has the courage to publicly fight against woke shit deserves respect, the guy earned it.

>>7738986
Lame gen-x faggot who either thought a strongly constructed zinger in a newspaper comic would teach those shitty middle managers a lesson, or he just cynically pumped out relateably acerbic jabs at office life for no real reason other than to milk the kind of retards who cut out comic strips to show to their coworkers while saying "aw shucks, ain't it the truth, haha there's gotta be a better way, right guys?". And, well shit, if that was his target audience all along what does it say that you're so thrilled to see this development in Dilbert lore
