A discussion I had with [livejournal.com profile] doctorpinkerton on the previous bus doodles entry inspired a comics fragment in my sketchbook today.



This owes so much to Matt Howarth's Savage Henry that it's insane. Aggressively experimental music that rips holes through time and space, draws the attention of Elder Gods, destroys monsters - this is a pretty typical story arc for that comic. My choice to skip over the 'exciting sonic battle' is mostly my own sense of rhythm and tantalization, however. Or maybe I was just lazy.

The dialogue on the second page doesn't quite work, but there were space issues due to doing it with absolutely no planning, just floating ideas. I wanted to have the guitarist say something that implied her girlfriend was left with alien appendages for a while as a result of the first-ever accidental summoning, but there wasn't room.

Also, in case you can't read the first page:
"Oops. You said you just fixed this place up, too."
"Just KEEP PLAYING! The RADIO TERRORSCOPE should make short work of this tentacular intrusion!"

Comics are fun. I should, like, do some for real.

I'm going to say this in all sincerity...

IF you do this, if you make a comic of this nature, I will need to know EXCATLY WHAT sort of favors I need to provide in order to be in it.

Recall, I was once accused of being Prof. Ed's intern.

hee! It's temptingly easy to fool with, this sort of nonsense kinda writes itself. But... the world already has 'Savage Henry', even if Matt's not doing it right now. It doesn't need a blatant rip-off of it, even if it's an openly genderqueer and xenophiliac version.

I have my own weird stories to tell...

Excellent!

I hit the floor laughing right about the point where I read the bottom left panel! Your Pinker-speak is practically perfect.

And yes, it WAS a kick-ass solo...
