<div style="text-align: left;">Every once in a while, like most comic creators, I'm asked the question "If you could do your dream project, what would it be?" For me, the answer is easy: for many years now, I've wanted to adapt Anthony Burgess' classic novel A Clockwork Orange into comics form.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm not entirely sure why; I'm also a big fan of Stanley Kubrick's work, and no one could successfully argue that his iconic film adaptation is in need of improvement. Maybe I just like a good challenge. In any case, during the summer of 2009, I found myself dealing with a major family crisis and in need of something to keep my mind occupied during long interstate train rides and otherwise insanity-inducing idle time at my destination, and the one thing I found that could occupy mind enough was this long-dormant idea.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">So I grabbed a fresh copy of the book, pulled out my trusty legal pads, and before long, I had pushed, pulled and trimmed the story into a complete 150-page comic script. Later on that year (crisis passed, thankfully) I took some time to work up a few pages as a proof-of-concept proposal.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Over the last two years, a number of friends and colleagues have seen these, but for a variety of reasons I've kept them from public view.

In the interest of saving time and being prepared, I try to work as far ahead as possible on any given project. Even though S/S was an eight-page pitch, I had initially planned to finish it on <a href="http://act-i-vate.com/">ACT-I-VATE</a>, and in the interest of expediting that, I had written an additional 12 pages of script.<br />
<br />
More than that, I decided to rework the entire beginning, in traditional comic proportions. After the cut is the script and the VERY NSFW (serious nudity) reworked pages.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
So, as I mentioned last week, Geoff's niece Jenny arrives to live with him, and immediately discovers his fixation on a Hannah Montana-like pop singer named Lola Belle, who's about 10 years old. There was going to be a very uncomfortable sub-plot involving Geoff becoming romantically involved with Lola as his fame and power grows, with the catch being that Lola is really in her 30's. She takes advantage of a growth-hormone deficiency to make gobs of money pretending to be a child prodigy.<br />
<br />
When I needed to figure out where <a href="https://comics.comixology.com/#/series/4988">I Rule the Night</a> was headed, I cannibalized the perpetual child angle for the Lainey Lord character. I think I made the right choice there.<br />
<br />
We also didn't have a chance to get in to the root of Geoff's bizarre way of speaking, which is commonly a symptom of schizophrenia called echolalia. It was set up to subtly imply that the more magical elements of the comic might be his delusions as opposed to reality.<br />
<br />
Upon re-reading this script I see that the character of Jenny is a little too close to the character of Angelica in Fishtown for my comfort, and I think I realized that at the time. In fact, I likely killed the entire project because of that. Who wants to repeat themselves?<br />
<br />
Without further ado, script for pages 9-20 of Strangle/Switch mk1:<br />

We are on a high school campus, near a dirt track. Jenny is sitting on the bleachers smoking a joint with her friend Rob.She has her guitar next to her, an acoustic, out of its case.<br />

<br />
<b>PAGE 12</b><br />
Jenny and Rob are having sex in the woods behind the bleachers. She is on top of him, holding her guitar behind her neck as she leans back. She’s more experienced than him.<br />
<br />
They lay next to each other briefly. Jenny gets up, puts on her clothes and walks away.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">ROB<br />
Is that it? No snuggling?</div><br />
She smirks at him and walks away.<br />

Marla is a mousey-looking girl wearing a large cross and an eyepatch.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">MARLA<br />
You’re going to hell, Jenny. I’m trying to save you.<br />

Jenny recoils a little, but shakes off Marla’s grip.<br />

Jenny walks away muttering under her breath.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">---------</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, until the advent of the iPad, I was never really into the 4:3 format for comics. There, I said it. I don't really enjoy reading printed books in that format (and print was sort of the ultimate goal at the time I initially drew this), and I find it way more difficult to lay out pages for the widescreen dimensions. I like using lots of thin panels to delineate moments in time, and the page just doesn't break up very easily in to small, skinny rectangles when it's that wide. I've learned to adapt, but generally, I still prefer the traditional proportion.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><br />
So, when it became clear that S/S wasn't going to picked up by Zuda, I reworked the beginning to be more of a slow build, and changed the format to the traditional page proportion.<br />
<br />
What follows is the somewhat more obtuse, somewhat racy new opening for the project. It begins at the end, with the corpses of our protagonists, killed violently in differing circumstances. There was some symbolic point to the uncomfortable nudity, but I can't remember what it was at this point. It was supposed to invoke a feeling of vulnerability and the two images were intended to invoke some sort of yin/yang symmetry.<br />
<br />
Bear in mind, some of the pages are unfinished, and none of the voiceover-heavy text is included. Also, there were two more pages penciled, but I never scanned them, and they have been lost in the vortex of my finished-art cabinet, possibly never to return.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Re-presenting my first foray into the Zuda Comics competition, Strangle/Switch. The basic premise of this story was: a schizophrenic musician named Geoff finds a guitar that gives him the power to kill people and was essentially a take on Faust. Simple enough, right? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">When I was 17, having grown up in the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunge_rock">grunge rock</a>" era, I was looking for the nastiest sounding electric guitar I could find. Anyone who knows anything about electric guitars will tell you that the most abrasive guitar you can buy is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosrite">Mosrite</a>, but close second is the much cooler-looking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Jaguar">Fender Jaguar.</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br />
The Jaguar was designed specifically to play <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surf_music">surf-rock</a> (think Dick Dale or Link Wray), and has a skull-splittingly high tone due to its distinct, ultra-thin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_coil_pickup">single coil pickups</a>. There are also a number of confusing switches on the guitar body that turn the different pickup configurations on and off to change the tone. If the screechy, high-pitched standard sound of this guitar wasn't enough to make your ears bleed, there's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pass_filter">high-pass filter</a> switch that will drop out all of the low frequencies and make it sound like you're scraping a frying pan with a garrote.<br />
<br />
It is popularly known as the "strangle switch". And it lives up to its name. In all the years I've owned this particular guitar, I've never found an actual use for that damned switch. It doesn't sound good on stage, it records like shit, and always seemed like no one in their right mind would ever need or want to use it. So I though to myself "Maybe it's REAL use is to conjure demons." When I needed a good idea to submit to the Zuda folks, this was what came up in the one-armed bandit of my idea mill.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, I never got beyond this initial 8 pages. Well, that's not entirely true - THIS VERSION never got beyond 8 pages (more on that later), though I had a rough idea of where the story was going to go - Geoff's juvenile delinquent niece was going to come live with him, become his partner in crime, and they were both going to have some kind of reckoning in the end. In a nice bit of synergy, I was able to utilize some major elements from my original ending of Strangle/Switch for the ending of I Rule the Night, bringing the whole Zuda creative experience full-circle for me.<br />
<br />
Will this ever be finished? Likely not. But you never know. For now, I hope you enjoy the piece in its original form, and if you like it, drop some coin in the till by hitting the PayPal Donate button over to right.<br />

As many of my comic book cohorts know, I lead a double life. I'm not a cartooning mastermind chained to my drawing all of the time, suffering alone in my garret apartment. In reality, I've also been a musician for over 20 years, and for the last three, I've been the drummer in Heads Up Display.<br />
<br />
Our new, eponymous LP produced by General George Fullan (Action Action, Taking Back Sunday) is now available exclusively at <a href="http://headsupdisplay.bandcamp.com/">http://headsupdisplay.bandcamp.com/</a> along with our two previous EP's.<br />
<br />
<br />
The EP's are already available on iTunes, but if you purchase the records on Bandcamp, there may be some unlisted bonus material that will automatically download with the record proper.<br />
<br />
<br />
