Well, That’s Just Gorgeous
January 19th, 2011
The Twitterverse was all abuzz yesterday for this wonderful guide to facial expressions by Lackadaisy creator Tracy J. Butler. More than just a tutorial, the thing is a practically a work of art on its own (and should probably be a poster).
And naturally, if you like the tutorial and haven’t read the comic, now is as good a time as any.
And YES, let’s have fewer “Smarm Brows” out there, okay?

Wow, this is amazing!!!
Thanks for the lead, Scott, on another excellent webcomic.
What Chuck said! I’ll totally be following Lackadaisy from now on.
Ahhh I love Tracy Butler’s work, she’s got such SASS, haha. I had a lot of fun reading her expression tutorial yesterday, informative and funny just as it should be
Even if you read the comic on the google/facebook-webs, you all should REALLY run out TODAY and buy the book she’s got out.
Having it right there in your hands as you read makes it a little better.
I think her comment on the “Chronic C-mouth” is important, as a lot of webcomics tend to have that ailment, mine included. The C-mouth is an easy way of conveying dialogue, and a lot of people focus more on what comes out of a character’s mouth than what the mouth looks like.
Lackadaisy Cats is an impressive webcomic.
And it’s good to practice facial expressions – that can help make a character look better and read easier to the viewers.
I was thinking it would have made an excellent poster when I first saw it too. I’d put it right next to my desk for when I work. It’s quite excellent.
Stop being elitist ’bout smarn brows. /:-)
When smarm brows are a crime, only smarm browsers will be criminals!
Not to be picky, but I believe the emoticon you’re looking for is:

or maybe:

So Mr. Spock was being smarmy that whole time…
