So if
you remember this post, you may know that my brother and I have had
on-again, off-again discussions about making our own webcomic. Or maybe just a comic in general. Or some kind of story, at least. Truth be told, it wouldn’t be the first time;
with him on art duty and me on story duty, we actually made a couple of little
picture books when we were younger. We
made a story about hamster commandos, and another story about stick figures
roped into a magical world. And…well, I
guess that’s about it, but the point still stands -- if the two of us sat down
and put something together, I have a sneaking suspicion we could make a truly
astounding (or at least mildly entertaining) product.
The problem, of course,
is that we actually have to sit down and decide what kind of story we’re going
to make. If you’ve been reading this
blog for long, you probably know what my tastes are by now -- and I’m almost
certain that a lot of my tastes aren’t going to appeal to dear old big
bro. Troublesome as he may be, I don’t
think that he’s so difficult as to shoot down any idea that isn’t his own. And indeed, the two of us teaming up to make
a comic seems like a potentially-smart move.
Well, either that, or
an abysmal space-time vortex that removes the very concept of joy from the
universe. Could go either way, I think.
