Fire is a very old invention.

However, more recently, I have decided to start something new! A weird story came into my head the other day. Its another kids story, of sorts, but certainly a different genre than Jimmy The Littlest Punk.
Which brings me neatly, but briefly back to Jimmy! Only SIX pages left, yes 6! The art is taking longer and longer as I randomly develop anal retentive perfectionist characeristics and inapropriate attention to detail. However, it still looks damn swanky and it's still cuter that a button with something super cute on it. y'arr.
But again, more recently - new story:
Animal story involving a young squirrel, asisted by a pirate rat with an airship mushroom, attempting to find his brother who has suddenly left to join the army. The young squirrel wants to return the acorns decorated with half-finished illustrations that his brother had started before he left. The pirate rat owes his brother a favour, so he helps the squirrel get to the army base run by General Badger, who tells them that his brother's location is classified and threatens to call the guards if they don't leave. Pirate Rat notices two friends of his inside the base and talks to them through the fence and persuades them to find out where the squirrels brother is. They find out that he is on the other side of the pond, and so they begin their journey, encountering Moby Duck (a character with a story from Pirate Rat's past about how he came to owe squirrel's brother a favour), and a battle with the Swan Queen in which Pirate Rat loses his home- the airship, and Squirrel loses his tail. Then I don't really know, but I'm thinking about the acorns being of some other narrative significance, like the pictures being a map and a story, both literally and pseudo-majokially, and that revealing some secrets about the past of squirrel and his brother. Anyway, they'll find his brother eventually and it'll turn out that the badgers are fighting the foxes for a burrow that resulted from the wall between a fox's hole and a badger's set was knocked down making one big den. Naturally they wanted the other to leave. Naturally neither wanted to. Naturally they got someone else to fight for them. They find Sqirrels brother in a guatanamo bay-like prison camp and help him and the other's escape. While everyone runs off, the younger squirrel decides to destroy the big den to stop the madness once and for all. Climactic battle ensues between the fox cubs and badger cubs and the protagonists. It'll end somewhere about there ish.
Well, that was more for my benefit than anyone elses, but I hope you like the sound of it! Probably going to do it in black and white. It's kind of how I picture it at the moment and it'll make production cheaper and easier.
mmm... ambitious.

in other news, V For Vendetta is a good book. Despite rumours from the premier, I remain skeptical about the movie. We shall see.

Anyhow, the hour grows late and I want to read some of The League Of Extraordinary Genlemen.
