News for 20100224

This is a little bit unrealistic because every kid who owns Crayolas knows what cerulean is: the best color you have. I guess the idea is that Milton's family did not want him to have crayons in his formative years or something, and Patty doesn't remember small details of naming. That is it.

I like that I've gotten to the point where I can draw something and have it not actually matter what the content is because it's somehow recognizably "mine." This does not mean the same thing as drawing well, but it almost doesn't matter at this point. I also like not having to care about standards for "syndication" in either art or writing.

The Story So Far

Elvira Ellison is a young teacher working in New York City. Her old friend and one-time sexual partner, The Man Who Hates Fun, had been working as the janitor at her school, acting as a confidant to young student Milton Frogman. After the MWHF's apparent death due to hunger, Elvira Ellison was named the executor of his will. Upon looking through the MWHF's apartment, she was "zapped" by his manuscript, a book on modern Stoicism, which perfectly embodies his thoughts and ideas to the point that it is able to resurrect his soul from beyond the veil of death. The MWHF, now possessing Elvira's body in a way that is perhaps irreversible, is attempting to publish his haunted book.
