4:19pmTravis
that was quick
4:19pmSean
Smokes and Chipotle don't take much time.
4:19pmTravis
mmm chipotle
4:22pmTravis
now im hungry
4:24pmTravis
curses on you
4:24pmSean
Sorry, the wife called.
4:24pmTravis
its ok
4:27pmTravis
brb, food time
4:35pmSean
Are you gonna give birth to a food baby after that?
4:37pmTravis
i did that earlier
now its time to consumate yet another
4:37pmSean
Ha!
4:39pmTravis
burritos FTW
4:40pmSean
I hope my poop is burrito-shaped!
4:40pmTravis
i wish my poop was burrito-scented
t'would be an improvement
4:41pmSean
It might turn you off of eating burritos if they smelled the same as your poop.
4:41pmTravis
probably not
poop is only gross from its smell
if it smelled better, it wouldnt be as gross
4:42pmSean
Man, a blind taste-test would be SCARY.
4:42pmTravis
haha no kidding
i would just perpetually remind myself not to enter into any blind taste tests
especially those incorporating burritos
4:44pmSean
"We've secretly changed Travis' burrito with burrito-scented poop. Let's watch what happens..."
4:45pmTravis
shakes fist
4:45pmSean
HA!
I think all the poop-talk has made have to deposit poop into a ceramic terlet.
Or in my pants.
4:48pmTravis
i vote for the aforementioned
4:48pmSean
Please. Don't incorporate a fist and poop into the same conversation.
4:49pmTravis
hey youre the one who correlated
4:49pmSean
POOPFIST sounds like a disgusting superhero name.
4:50pmTravis
maybe there already is. and his other power is extreme anonymity
4:50pmSean
I guess his power would be launching mystically-conjured poop splatter from his gigantic brown fist.
4:51pmTravis
maybe he picked it up from jane goodall
4:52pmSean
Wow! His partner could be a poop-flinging monkey! In a mask and cape!
4:53pmTravis
named rupert
4:54pmSean
CAPTAIN RUPERT
4:54pmTravis
it should be Doctor Rupert
4:54pmSean
Professor Rupert.
4:54pmTravis
and he will have a PhD in proctology
violent proctology
4:55pmSean
And a minor in PAIN.
4:56pmSean
Mask, cape, lab coat, and a stethoscope.
All on a monkey.
4:57pmTravis
and a tongue depressor that says "not for oral use"
4:57pmSean
LOL
We are GENIUSES.
4:58pmTravis
why arent we making cartoons or at least comic strips out of the things we talk about?
4:59pmSean
We should. That is actually a very good idea.
4:59pmTravis
i know
4:59pmSean
I know all about how to make, put together, and distribute comics.
4:59pmTravis
i know you do
weve talked about it before
about your knowledge of it anyway
5:00pmSean
So let's actually do this.
5:00pmTravis
i am down
5:01pmSean
We could make low brow/high brow comics AND animation.
5:01pmTravis
im not much of an artist but i am good at spinning off a lot of random stuff lol
5:01pmSean
If all goes well, I won't have to find a job. Well, not a full-time job, at least.
5:01pmTravis
right
5:01pmSean
I am an ok artist...
5:01pmTravis
if we get published
5:02pmSean
WAIT A MINUTE!
We could self-publish. That is no problem.
BUT
There is a comic style called Fumetti.
It is using photos and manipulating them into a comic.
We both love photography and you know about photoshopping.\
5:03pmTravis
could be possible
5:03pmSean
Live action but we turn them into comic panels.
5:04pmTravis
well i think that would make it much more difficult
and actually, our artwork doesnt need to be pretty
there are a lot of comics out there that are simple shapes and its all about the comedy
5:04pmSean
It doesn't.
OK So we focus on the writing. I have a few friends who are great comics artists that we could tap.
5:05pmTravis
alright
5:06pmSean
Plus, we could publish on the web AND in print. It isn't that costly to print stuff up.
5:06pmTravis
i had thought that
5:06pmSean
I have a domain name already that we could use.
5:06pmTravis
oh sweet. i would nee to brush up on my html or maybe even learn css
5:07pmSean
Short pieces and maybe a couple of recurring characters.
It is our book. We can do anything we want with it.
5:07pmTravis
the more random the better
5:07pmSean
We are random people. That is all we know.
5:07pmTravis
the strip "cyanide and happiness" comes to mind
5:08pmSean
I LOVE that strip. Amazing Super Powers is like that too only a bit more polished.
Have you ever seen Perry Bible Fellowship?
5:08pmTravis
no
5:09pmSean
Next time you come over I'll show you the collection. Bizarre but beautiful.
WOW! We are totally gonna make comics!
5:09pmTravis
ok
lol
we should
no wait, we ARE
5:12pmTravis
we have to think of a catchy name
like cyanide and happiness
cause that name is tragically beautiful
5:15pmTravis
like "Chronicles of the Damned"
or something that isnt really related
lol
5:15pmSean
Free Ice Cream!
Chronicles Of The Damned sounds like a goth blog.
5:16pmTravis
lol
5:16pmSean
Or emo blog.
5:16pmTravis
we could always have a main character like "fabio" and call it "Adventures with Fabio"
5:17pmSean
Naming it will come. Whenever you have a name idea, write it down.
I like Cigarettes for Infants.
5:18pmTravis
see. stuff like that which is completely controversial
thats what sells
5:18pmSean
Or Hookers 'n Whiskey.
5:19pmTravis
Crack on the Playground
5:19pmSean
I am already coming up with stuff we could sell. Collections of strips. Shirts. Professor Rupert stuffed dolls.
5:19pmTravis
lol
5:19pmSean
Our first strip should be this very conversation.
5:20pmTravis
about how to start a comic strip?
5:20pmSean
Yep.
5:20pmTravis
i can see it
5:20pmSean
Seems fitting for us.
Have the chat conversation with illustrations of stuff we are discussing on the side.
5:21pmSean
We also aren't confined to a structure with the strip.
I could be ANYTHING.
5:22pmTravis
yep
thats the best part
5:22pmSean
This actually fulfills several things for us: art, comedy, computers.
5:23pmTravis
but we need a main character
with cameos here and there like you said
5:23pmSean
Not necessarily. We could have a revolving cast.
5:23pmTravis
ok well that works too. but they are still main characters
5:24pmSean
Or even just designing characters to drive the particular strip.
5:24pmTravis
we could call it "The Tortured Unicorn"
lol
5:24pmSean
That's RAD. That goes on the list.
5:24pmTravis
lol
are you making this list
?
Sean
I just cut and pasted the conversation.
ok
Sean
And YES.
awesome on both counts
could call it "Glycerin Pancakes"
Sean
Something Pancakes...
Man, POOPFIST just struck me with his beam. Be back in a minute.
haha
Sean
While I am pooping, think of a publishing schedule.
?
Sean
For the strip.
like when to publish it per week?
i really dont know what that means
"The Pickled Martyr"
or "Pickled Pancakes"
Sean
Should we put it out like once a week or every few days? That's a publishing schedule.
"Pancakes Of Astonishment!" With the exclamation point and everything.
well we could probably go for every few days
Sean
Like Monday and Thursday to start.
all we would need to do is get ahead of schedule before we start
ya that could work
see if we become good enough at this, we could get a well-known website to publish us
and theyd pay us for it
Sean
Yeah. I would definitely like a buffer zone of strips before we start putting them up. That also gives us a chance to fuck up a few.
haha ya
Sean
Yep. And we would own it.
We would be business owners.
50-50.
sweet
after we made some money, we could even get a merchandising company
5:41pmSean
We are ON IT.
5:42pmTravis
im totally going to sport a hat when we get this started
5:42pmSean
DAMN YOU, POOPFIST! AND TO A LESSER EXTENT, YOUR MONKEY-SCIENTIST SIDEKICK, PROFESSOR RUPERT!
Oh, we will have hats.
5:43pmTravis
i know but im saying when we get it started, i want one of the first hats
5:43pmSean
Oh, we will have the first hats.
And they will be SPECTACUKLAR.
^Or even spectacular.
I sayin' Bedazzled.
And TWO bills for double the awesome.
5:45pmTravis
lol
ixnay on the latter
5:46pmSean
Bedazzled is ok, though.
5:47pmTravis
right
5:48pmSean
This is a fantastic idea you had, by the way.
I told Yvonne. She is 100% supportive in this.
5:50pmTravis
awesome
5:51pmSean
I actually will probably get a new domain when we decide on a name. That way we can use my Treehouse site as a behind the scenes blog.
5:51pmTravis
for sure
5:52pmSean
We could think about doing light animation on certain strips, too.
I am now glad I bought that tablet.
5:52pmTravis
see? you DID buy it for a reason. you just didnt know what it was at the time
5:53pmSean
Oh yeah! I am gonna look up something. I think Google made a free program that is like Illustrator.
5:53pmTravis
ok
5:53pmSean
Maybe is was Mozilla...
5:54pmTravis
i have illustrator
5:54pmSean
I can't remember. I saw something on it on G4.
5:54pmTravis
its just not the latest version
5:54pmSean
Doesn't need to be the latest version. Not for this.
5:56pmSean
The Adventure of The Tortured Unicorn.
And the unicorn NEVER shows up.
Horsies are hard to draw.
5:56pmTravis
lol
5:58pmSean
I think I am gonna publish this entire conversation on my Treehouse blog tonight.
5:58pmTravis
lol
5:58pmSean
If you are ok with that.
5:58pmTravis
careful though. dont want any mofos stealing our behemoth cashcow
5:58pmSean
I'll black out the names. It will leave some MYSTERY.
5:59pmTravis
if you like
6:00pmSean
Or we just don't use those names and leave them on there for the comedy.
6:00pmTravis
what
6:01pmSean
The names are funny! I like them.
How about Clownpenis?
6:01pmTravis
im just talking about someone taking this idea for themsleves
6:02pmSean
Ah. Well, there is that.
6:05pmTravis
ya other than that, i wasnt worried about releasing the names
6:06pmSean
Well, truthfully, our idea for a nonsensical comic is purposely vague enough that even if they stole it, it wouldn't have our humor.
6:06pmTravis
ya i was thinking that
6:07pmSean
Fuck it. I think I will.
6:07pmTravis
do it then
6:08pmSean
OK Gonna do it NOW.
6:08pmTravis
well, do it then
And I did.
