I'm a writer. I read a lot of comics. My friend Jojo is an artist. She doesn't read any comics.

At lunch, she draws super heroes from memory. Her memory is not always very good.

As you look at these drawings, I can not stress enough that Jojo is a professional artist, and a full grown woman. It's important to remember that.

Today Jojo draws The Thing! This week I’m having Jojo draw The Fantastic Four from memory. Each day I’ll tell her “draw one of them” until she’s drawn all four, without telling her their names. Here’s what she said about this drawing: Jojo: “His name is the thingy, he’s made of dried riverbed.” Me: “He’s supposed to made of bricks, or rocks.” Jojo: “But he’s orange. He’s made of dried riverbed.” This is a very, very accurate drawing. You can even imagine him yelling his classic battle cry, “It’s clobberin’ time!” Although in this case I imagine Jojo yelling, “It’s Jojo-ing time!” I’m going to see if I can get her to start saying that. For real.
