This is something I've been wanting to try for ages. My original idea was going to be more vaguely educational, more focused on the way that choices you make when writing a story affect the tone and shape of the story. And it ended up being mostly a load of silly jokes about zombies and bananas and stuff. But never mind that! It was an insane amount of work to figure it all out and make sure it worked and read intelligibly, and I think it ended up being a lot of fun.
Here are some pics of my layouts, so you can see some of the figuring-out alluded to earlier for yourself!
And here, if you've got a copy already, is a BONUS FUN SCAVENGER HUNT GAME! Can you find, in the strip, the following...
- Asha and Shelly, famed pupils of Mo-Bot High

- President Barack Obama
- Zombie versions of any / all of the above
