The Kingdom of Weird (working title, will be changed later, possible to "Tales From Fat Ernie's).

It takes place in Maine (might change this to a rural area of one of the other NE states), and is a cop story.  I felt that detectives have been done to death by Warren Ellis and Garth Ennis, so I elected to use a state trooper - in his proper role, not playing detective - and to center the weirdness of the first part around him.  He is the only "normal" person in his town, though he doesn't know it.  He is a little strange, in that he reacts to weirdness in a manner that is appropriate to the situation, rather than by freaking out.  The fun part is, you get to learn the horrible truth about Elvis.

The second part will be from the pov of his girlfriend, Kate, who slings hash at a truckstop named "Fat Ernie's", the owner of which disappeared under mysterious circumstances some time ago.

The third part will be told from the pov of the dispatcher, a man with a very curious collection.

"Manubu" from this board will be the artist, at least for the first chapter, and I won't be making the same mistakes I made with Kim.

This will probably be a one-off, though if I can find more plot ideas, I may do a follow up issue.  I intend to pimp this out to one of the local companies, this time.

Richter, LMNO, and Suu, I will send you the script for proofreading/review tonight.

Most excellent, Dok, especially part three being from the perspective of a lowly Dispatcher.   :wink:

Sure, might be a few days unfortunately.  My phone died today (interestingly, I tried to reactivate the old phone and they had reassigned the activation number to an unknown government entity the accounts of which are apparently inaccessible to Verizon employees or managers).

That's okay.  I still have to do 60 panels on story 2, so I won't be starting story 3 until late in the week at the earliest.

I do not see it in my gmail account inbox.

Wound up working super late last night, and I have two corrections to make.  Sorry for the delay, will email tonight (late).
