Kelly Donovan Tells You How to Make Comics. Scott McCloud uses Nick Brendon's twin in his latest book Making Comics.

Kelly appears on page 30 as a reference to the importance of words in a panel.
"Oh hey, Look! It's Kelly Donovan, twin brother of the guy who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer..." to which lil' cartoon Kelly waves and replies "I was in a couple of episodes..."

I am a huge fan of Scott McCloud's and have referred his books to many. Lots of great stuff on his website. He's a comic artist who writes about making comics (title of his current, 3rd book, for which he is currently on a 50-state tour.)

The book has been out for a while, but as this is the first mention, hey! There it is.

Btw, lots of web and animation designers buy his books for the ideas, not just comic artists.

(Here's the link to his personal website: ScottMcCloud.com

:-D That's so cool--I've had Making Comics sitting next to Understanding Comics and Reinventing comics for a while now, but haven't gotten to it yet.

He also mentions "Buffy and Spike" later in the book, in a list of iconic couples or something like that. He must be a fan.

He's definitely a fan. I attended one of his Q&A's recently and he cited "Earshot" to illustrate a point.

Seriously? I own that book! (But, er, obviously have yet to read it.) Still. Cool.
