THE FUTURE!
I've decided to embrace the future... and by that I don't mean doing anything in appropriate with a computer or anything involving a female robot. No, what I mean is, I've decided to set my comic in the future. I don't mean like 3000 years, floating cities and cars that fold into suitcase, nor will there be any sort of dramatic apocalyptic scenerio that my comic will take place after. I'm thinking it'll be an unexplained time a few decades in the future. Not too many though... I just watched a discovery channel special about what the world will be like fifty years in the future, and it won't be like that... No flying cars or anything that dramatic... but there will be robots... and technically, there will also be space travel and maybe we've already contacted aliens, and some of them live on earth now (obviously I'll take some liberties for the sake of humor.) I haven't worked it all out yet, but I figure I need something to explain why there's a remote controlled boy running around.
In that theme, I've also been working on a new character... Adam's (the remote controlled boy) grandpa. I figure he's a retired supervillain... Sort of a Vader without the force to sustain him... so he's rather decrepit now... but still carrying the same bad attitude.
I haven't drawn it here, but I'm actually thinking I'm gonna put him in a wheel chair... Really focus on his frailty... I also want to put him in a small cottage with Adam's grandma, who looks like an ordinary grandma. I'm thinkin' it'll be pretty funny... The conflict between his old supervillain lifestyle, and the fact that he's now more likely to become an impromptu babysitter than hold the world hostage to his whims.
