A different kind of project.
I wanted to try a more serialized story like you’d find in comic strips. A sci fi adventure story about two young idiots, who like all of us at that age, think we’re immortal. Still a bit drunk from the night before, they stowaway on an experimental test rocket. Said test rocket is due to be unmanned for said experiment. The two young idiots merely being on the ship disrupts the experiment, causing a change in trajectory and navigation. The ship hurtles through a wormhole and ends up in our neighboring galaxy.
One of the idiots is killed on impact. The other is not so lucky. He wanders around the alien planet and although he manages to survive, he comes out a very different person in the end.
The screaming Zebra men of Alpha Centauri are the initial antagonists and they end up being used in the second Mickey & Maj story a few years later. I’m actually not sure if I was ever able to print a sample of these up. The horizontal format makes for fine web viewing but not so much for a standard printed book. And I went black and white simply to enhance the sci fi feel.
I had them all posted in an online book site which was very nice, where you could leaf through the pages on screen. But the site eventually went belly up. I’ll have to see if I can cobble together the collection and put it up on Amazon some day.
