Aw, I love the bonus story Chris did for Vol. 2. I paid for it with a rock. Seriously, he wanted a stone from a particular beach he’d visited at Half Moon Bay, and I lived near there, so I went out there and got him a stone.
In addition to the above artwork, Chris did a really cute tiny painting of Helen for me. He’s a wonderful artist. I always wanted to pitch a Fantastic Four comic with him.
I want the diolog!
I WANT IT NOW.
@eddddd: Here you go. The genuine 100% authentic dialog that I just now made up …
PANEL 1:
Dave: … gasp … Mell, not that I’d complain to an armed woman, but why am I the only one pushing a 400-pound cart?
Mell: Dave, we agreed, you’d push the cart uphill, I’d push it downhill.
Helen: Quit bickering, you two, we’re almost there …
PANEL 2:
Mell: And where’s your hump? You’re supposed to have the shoulder hump!
Helen: It’s OK, Mell, the hump isn’t necessary.
Stylish, but not necessary.
PANEL 3:
Artie: On the remote chance that my fears are wrong, why are we climbing this hill when a thunderstorm’s coming?
Helen: Because tonight, we’re going to hurl the Gauntlet of Science into the frightful face of Death itself!
PANEL 4:
Dave: Isn’t that stolen from …
Helen: It’s not plagiarism, it’s an “homage”. Fair use and all that …
PANEL 5:
Dave: It still seems …
Helen: Less talky, more sciencey! Set up the collectors!
PANEL 6:
Mell: So what are these for?
Helen: What make you think I need a reason?!
Dave: I had hoped. Silly me.
PANEL 7:
Helen: By pure coincidence, It so happens that I do have a reason.
One that will strike back at our greatest foe. Behold!
PANEL 8:
Mell: Hey, that looks like that auditor …
Dave: …from the IRS.
Helen: Yes! An auditor that I SHALL CONTROL! BWAHAHA!
Looking at panel 1 of the first page, I just automatically assumed that Mel was riding on a multi-megaton hydrogen bomb….
