First of all I would like to apologize to my three readers for having not updating this blog since March. I'd also like to apologize to the one of my readers who is interested in comics for never giving my opinion on the death of Johnny Storm. I liked it. Anyway I am going to attempt to update this blog more regularly. In fact at least for now I'm going to be posting a new one every day.
A couple of months ago I had an idea for a comic that I was so proud of I actually pitched it to a company. I'm not going to give the name of said company because they're good people and this is an embarrassing story. My idea was a graphic novel called Tom vs. Nick. It would be about Tomas Edison and Nikola Tesla living as next door neighbors and competing inventors. Instead of them being classy and intelligent though they would be like two frat boys. "No you're stupid " and a lot of ridiculously unnecessary Tesla inventions. Like a telephone that only lets you communicate with the angry dead.
A big point of the story was that Tomas Edison was a complete idiot until he flew the kite with the key attached to it and was struck by lightning. Now I put all of this in my email pitch and heard nothing back. I checked my email every day and douche bag (just wanted to put in that I tried to spell douche bag as one word and spell check told me how to properly spell douche bag) me thought, "oh they just don't understand my vision. I know it'll be great. I know it's not Shakespeare but they could at least tell me they're not interested. I'll show 'em." But then I did the absolute least bit of research (at this point I hadn't even begun writing) and I learned that it was in fact Ben Franklin who was struck by lightning not Tomas Edison. I still haven't heard back from them even to tell me I'm an idiot and I don't blame them. I still think it's a good idea it just needs to be tweaked a bit. Anyway now I've been making candles.
