Help me develop my new project
Posted: 2008/09/23 20:13
Starting today, over at CalebMonroe.com, I am developing a brand new comic from scratch before your very eyes. A 32-page 1-shot. Updates every Tuesday. I’ll share e-mails exchanged with the artist, I’ll share rough drafts, middle drafts, final drafts, I’ll share my rather random brainstorming/idea-coalescing process.
Everything.
And this first step is the fun part, because at this stage I’m looking for input. You get to vote for what genre the story will be.

The winning genre of last week's vote was Comedy, so I'll be developing a comic comic in Ground Floor. Here are the short pitches:
Dan Dodger: Professional Decoy - Is a rampaging dragon threatening your city? Are aliens about to invade? Is your country at the mercy of a mad super-villain bent on world domination? Is there a way to stop them, but just not enough time to pull it off? If only you could buy a few extra minutes to put your plan into action…. Look no further, because now you can buy those extra minutes! Just call: DAN DODGER: PROFESSIONAL DECOY, for all your decoy, diversion and distraction needs. Call for your free estimate today! 1-800-55-DECOY (Fully licensed and insured. Results may vary. Dan Dodger is a fully trained professional. If you encounter a dragon, invading alien army or megalomaniacal super-villain, do not attempt to decoy. Dial 911 and seek immediate shelter.)
Billy’s New School - Moving sucks. Going to a new school can be a real drag. Especially if the school’s in another dimension. Especially if you’re the only human and the only reason you’re there is your dad’s job. What if you don’t get any of the jokes? What if you leave your lunch on the bus-ship and have to eat in the cafeteria? What if that cute purple jelly in 3rd period keeps looking at you (or just sort of jelly-ing in your general direction?) and making you all nervous? What if your universal translator breaks? What if you can’t figure out which is the sink and which is the toilet in the bathroom…or how to work either? What if? Think Peanuts or Tiny Titans in tone here.
The Mascot Chronicles - We all know being a mascot at a theme park or for a sports team can be a hot, difficult business. But what if you’re the mascot for a superhero team? Or space pirates? Or worse? Can pleasing a crowd be a super power? Can entertaining make you a hero?
I will be publically developing whichever is the most popular into a 32-page single, so be sure to vote!
