Absolutely brilliant! I love it. Yes, indeed. You more than deserve that ad! Just the sort of person that's needed on The Halfpenny Dreadful Comic!
I may included Billy and his hot sister in the Halfpenny Dreadful Comic.
It can be done. The simplest character I ever created was the eponymous, “Billy Bang.” This was a kid who literally exploded with anger whenever he lost his temper. I came up with him the day after a rather raucous party back in the 1980’s to launch the “Oink” comic here in the UK. Perhaps the hang…
The opposite can also be a nightmare! When you suffer from an over-active imagination and your head is constantly filled with ideas writers block can offer the sufferer an oasis of calm. The problem is, it never fu*king happens! LOL.
Can't wait to read it!
I too, have dabbled in artwork and I can concur with the above remarks. In fact, in my scripts I always tried to be kind to the artist who had to turn my feeble efforts into something worthwhile. This is because, after a wasted year at art school, I discovered that artwork requires more in the way o…
I've run into that problem - short story but long idea! You have to be brutal and cut it down. It hurts, but these things have to to be done. No pain, no gain, right? LOL. Anyway, keep at it it.
Yes, working in a coal mine can get you down.
I’ve been incredibly fortunate. For over 30 years I’ve been a published writer and all this with the bare minimum of talent. I haven’t amassed a fortune, mainly because most of my work was in comics. I had a foothold in TV and animation and if I’d had more financial acumen I could have been a hell o…
Is writing a stressful occupation? If we take Dorothy Parker’s famous quote: “And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word,” then it clearly is. And I must confess that this form of semantic amnesia has also piss*d me off on more than …
I like it. There's a touch of Monty Python in there.
I used to enjoy those. Nowadays I'm reluctant to play a game unless I can hack into it and take control of the bloody thing. "Dead Island" is a lot more fun with infinite ammo and bullets with the kinetic energy to turn Zombies into shredded pork and send them about 50 feet into the air. With the ad…
Here’s a good exercise that may help stretch your imagination. All you have to do is construct a story around the following... Your character, (male or female), wakes up lying on top of a bed in a cheap Tokyo hotel with a severe headache. Resting on their chest is a Japanese fire chief’s helmet. And…
Here are three of the projects I never got round to developing. Maybe that’s a good thing. BILLY BANG! The Hot Headed Guy Who Blows Up When He’s Angry. I created Billy back in the 1990’s and he appeared in the Oink comic. However, back then he was just a kid. Now he’s 25 years old and married. His w…
In my heyday I was writing for about five comics a week - I can't remember the total number of stories. But for two comics published by IPC I was writing for half the characters in "Buster" and half the characters in "Whizzer & Chips." Most were one page stories with 10-12 panels. The others were t…
