| SUBMUNITIONS: Stabbity Jones |

"I'll kill the first piece of cockshit comes near me," giggled Stabbity Jones, the last legendary knifeman of the old West. He showed them his crooked penis, with the razorblades screwed into the head. "I'll fuck 'em to death and make 'em like it. Your daddies came cowshit up your mommies, and I'm Stabbity fucking Jones." He bounced in his testicle-hide boots, making the spikes in his nipples jangle. "Stabbity Jones will fight any man here and fuck 'em good as they bleed before my nekkidness."
Stabbity Jones was the last knifeman in the West. Everyone else had guns.

Submunition graphic novel, interesting, a graphic novel within a hundred words, or lines?
not the submunition...the story of Stabbity Jones. I could see him easily make the jump from said submunition to graphic novel legend :)

I'm not sure it'd be the most pleasant of stories ;)
*giggle* not sure who would want to sell the testicle-skin-wearing-cowboy story, either...
but he could totally become a new sort of hero in his own right...the story of his life prior to him getting shot down. Oh, it could all go very very badly :)

hhehe, you giggled... :P and a gir avatar to boot, :D
You're starting to make it sound very Grant Morrison there. :)
the giggling is unforgivable, I apologize :)
anything Vasquez is my hero. Gir just so happens to be one of my favorites outside of the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

It's ok, I forgive you :) If you like Vasquez you should check out Bear by Jamie Smart ( foo5). It's crazy, I'd probably rate him higher than Vasquez, but only because I find Vasquez so popular and unfortunatley I'm a bit of an elitest. :(
I have to agree: Bear is excellent!
I consider Looshkin my rolemodel for life :D

Did you know Jamie Smart's doing another comic, he's posting progress at kochiwanaba and Looshkin is mine rolemodel too, well, for my prancy, kill the bear, side :D
I'm thinking one page with the subminition on it, the other page in the spread with either a short comic inspired by the submunition, or a full-page illustration inspired by same.
Like Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children, but all-Warren, all the time.

I like the idea of one page comics, but then I suppose they'd just be called strips ;(
I've not read Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children but I can guess at some of it due to the reference, etc. I'm not too keen on All-Warren, All the time, seeing as he's so busy and all, a compilation would be awesome though, stories from submunition writers, cos it's a lovely medium, don't you think? :D
Yeah, I'm really impressed, and far too intimidated to try it myself. ;-)

If I thought I could make it half decent I might give it a try, so I guess i'm in the same boat :( | |
