*The German title "Gesichtskirmes" literally means "face-carnival" and we say this when someone makes weird faces or loses control of their expression (for example in shock or after doing drugs)
I did the "39 - essential expressions challenge" with Carter (some time ago) because my boi has the most expressive face of all my characters and I had a looot of fun (and thinking how to do it) with this.
I can totally recommend trying to do the challenge with your main character(s) because it's a really good exercise or reference sheet. I think it really improves a comic so much when you can influence even tiny undertones of the dialogue or the whole meaning of a scene with a clear character's expression and gesture.
Actually, this was a "25" challenge but I added some more expressions I thought were missing when it comes to Carter and switched up the order.
