MWPete has already finished drawing a sort of two parter episode (the one entitled'Blood Shed') it looks great. Soon we will be able to show off our combined efforts to everyone. Until then here are a few more examples of episodes I have written.
Monster Kids: Trouble A-Head.
Panel: the Monster Kids are laying about in a rough circle. There are a few headless dolls (and their severed heads) littered about the place. Ivy and Luna are kneeling next to a scaled down model of a guillotine with a doll in place. Ivy is holding onto a string attached to the guillotine.
Panel: Same as above only now Ivy has pulled the string, releasing the blade. The doll's head has come off and is bouncing away. Luna has raised an arm above her head, pointing a finger upwards. Her mouth is open and she has an almost manic look on her face. the other kids haven't moved.
Caption (Luna): Off with her head!
Panel: Same as above only now Ivy and Luna are now standing, they are both looking to Skele-boy. Ivy is gesturing to the guillotine.
Caption (Ivy): Wanna go?
Caption (Skele-boy): Why not.
Panel:Same as above only now Skele-boy is now laying under the guillotine, his legs hang off of the board. Everybody else is now standing up watching Skele-boy. Luna is leaning over, balancing on one leg and whispering into Ivy's ear. Ivy has a wicked smile on her face, she clutches the pull cord tightly.
Panel: Same as above only now Mud, Vampire, Luna and Ivy have one arm raised above their heads and are pointing to the sky. They are all smiling, some more deviously than others. Skele-boy's head has been cut off. It has tumbled into the basket has toppled it over. His head lays just outside of the basket.
Caption (Ivy, Luna, Vampire, Mud): Off with his head!
Panel: Same as above only now Ivy and Luna are now running off. They are laughing. Luna has Skele-boy's head in her outstretched arms. Skele-boy's body is standing, it is pointing to Ivy and Luna. Mud and Vampire are laughing to themselves.
Caption (Skele-boy's head): Hey, give me back!
Panel: Same as above only now Mud, Vampire, Ivy and Luna have all run off leaving only Skele-boy's body in panel. His arms are outstreched and he is running in the same direction as the other Monster Kids.
Panel: All of the Monster Kids are now outside. Ivy, Luna, Vampire and Mud are all playing catch with Skele-boy's head. Skele-boy's body is running between them trying to catch his head which is tumbling through the air.
Monster Kids: ...To be a Skele-boy.
Panel: Skele-boy is lying on his back in the foreground. He is staring straight up. Standing nearby, looking down at him is Peat. The sun is rising to one side of the panel.
Caption (Skele-boy's thought bubble): Am I real? Do I truly exist?
Panel: Same as above only now Ivy and Luna have joined Peat. Peat is looking at Ivy who is poking Skele-boy with a stick. Luna is squatting and peering into Skele-boy's eye socket. The sun has moved some way across the sky.
Caption (Skele-boy's thought bubble): Or am I simply a figment? Some madmen's creation?
Panel: Same as above only now Peat and Ivy are laughing hysterically as Luna, kneeling, rests an apple (or something) on Skele-boy's forehead. They have already placed a potted plant on his chest and high-heeled shoes on his feet (among other things). The sun has moved again.
Caption (Skele-boy's thought bubble): Am I just their pawn? Or am I something more?
Panel: Skele-boy is now laden with all sorts of things, like an undead buckaroo. Vampire-boy has joined the group and is standing next to Skele-boy's head eating crisps (or something else perhaps?). He is leaning over, peering down at Skele-boy and crumbs rain down onto Skele-boy's skull. The other kids are now lounging about looking bored. The sun has almost vanished from the sky.
Caption (Skele-boy's thought bubble): How can I ever know for certain, if I cannot even feel?
That one was a little dark wasn't it? Skele-boy, or Rey (to give him his proper name) was created by Pete and neither of us had a real idea of who the character was until I started writing Blood Shed. When I wrote it I intended for his personal dilemma to be the main gag but for it be overlooked by Vampire-boy's fainting at the sight of blood. I have more ideas in mind playing on the worries Rey has about his very existence.
Monster Kids: Marvelous. (This one is a sort of homage to Marvel Comics).
Panel: Ivy, Luna and Peat are checking themselves out. They are dressed as Marvel Characters; Luna is dressed as Black Cat, Ivy is Spiderwoman and Peat is Nightcrawler (he has simply stuck on a tail and pointed ears)
Panel: Same as above only now the other kids have joined the group. Skele-boy is dressed as Wolverine (a nod to the cover of X-Men: Deadly Genesis). Vampire-boy is dressed as a slighlty plump Iron Man (with a cape). Peat is pointing to the left of the panel.
Caption (Ivy): Weren't you just dressed as Galactus?
Caption (Vampire-boy): No.
Caption (Peat): Then who was that over there?
Panel: Same as above but all on the Monster (Marvel) Kids are looking to the left of the panel expectantly.
Panel: All of the kids are fleeing the panel now. Stepping into panel are the legs of Galactus.
Caption (Monster Kids): AAARRGH!
Monster Kids: Taken With Tea.
Panel: Ivy and Luna are sitting opposite ends of a small table (their knees nearly touch... that small). Luna is sitting upright and proper as she tips the spout of a teapot into a small cup. The table is littlered with various, kid sized tea-set pieces. Ivy is leaning forward slightly, watching the teapot and teacup with anticipation.
Panel: Same as above only now the little things sip from thier cups noisily with their pinky fingers are raised. Ivy's eyes are closed but Luna watches her sister through slitted lids.
Panel: Same as above. Luna still looks cooly at her sister. Ivy is now grasping at her throat. And has a pained, shocked look on her face as she tumbles from her seat.
Panel: Same as above. Luna is looking round the edge of the table casually. Ivy now cannot be seen at all.
Panel: Same as above. Luna is still looking round the edge of the table at her sister. Ivy's hand is in view. She is pointing a finger at Luna.
Caption (Ivy): You... poisoned... me!
Panel: Same as above. Luna is still looking round the edge of the table. Ivy's hand has disappeared again.
Caption (Luna): Want to play again?
Caption (Ivy): Okay.
Monster Kids: Making Friends.
Panel: Ivy and Luna are dressed in full surgical garb. We can only see the upper halves of their bodies and they are looking down, out of panel at something. They wear rubber gloves on their hands, they are too big and hang loosely from their fingers.Ivy is holding out one hand and Luna is passing her a spatula.
Caption (Ivy): Spatula.
Caption (Luna): Spatula.
Panel: Same as above. Ivy jabs at the thing below, out of panel, with the spatula in one hand, while Luna places a plunger in her free hand. They are still both looking down out of panel.
Caption (Ivy): Plunger.
Caption (Luna): Plunger.
Panel: Same as above. Now Ivy is plunging vigorously with both hands. Luna watches the plunger. Her arms are raised slightly and her hands point upwards to stop the gloves falling off.
Caption (Luna): I think we're done.
Panel: We can now see, in a wider shot, what the little things were working on. Lying on a table infront of them is a robot. Ivy has her eyes shut and is sighing. Luna is wiping the sweat from her sister's brow with a cloth.
Caption (Luna): We were always good at making friends.
Okay so that's pretty much everything I've written so far. Be warned however, there will be more!
