Webcomics Nonillustrated, Part Six: Someway, Somehow... (not so much indecent as just long and silly
July 14th, 2009
Current Mood:amused strangely accomplished
Establishing shot (night, full moon) of a ranch-style house and cypress trees, with a marshy pond filled with flamingos in the foreground. Caption reads: "The Jobblewocki's Flamingo Ranch/ Citrusville, Florida"
Panel 2: Interior. Marvin (looking the same as my ill-gotten userpic from the 1950s) and his wife (prim, young, blond, June Cleaver-ish) greet Mal, who is standing in the open front doorway, as well as Sally and Panda, standing behind Mal. Sally looks confused.
Marvin: "Mal! Golly, it's been ages, hasn't it? You look great!
Mal: "Thanks. I try to stay out of the sun. It causes wrinkles."
Marvin: "You remember my wife, of course? Dear, these are Mal's friends, Sally Black and Panda Sapien. "
Dear: (in teensy tiny faded cursive print) 'assorted greetings and pleasantries'
Panel 3: The personae have stepped inside.
Marvin: "Mal, can we get you something to drink?"
Dear, with a slight smile, holds her forearms out towards Mal, wrists upward.
Mal: "No, I'm good."
Marvin; "Anyone else? I've got some Jonestown Cola in the fridge."
Panda: "No, thanks. The bubbles and the cyanide bother my stomach."
Panel 4: a spacious living room furnished in an art deco, early 1960s style. In the background, Mal and Marvin chat comfortably, while Dear looks on contentedly from a few feet away. In the foreground, Sally, now irritated, glares at Panda, who is sitting next to her and shrugging.
Sally: What the hell?? This is Part 6? Where was Part 5, and how'd we get here?
Panda: You skipped Part One, so I skipped Part five.
Sally: Yeah? Well, Part one was three lines. I'm guessing Part Five must've been a good deal longer. So Marvin and his wife are still alive, huh?
Panda: Sure, why not? There's no comedic potential in them being dead.
Sally: They're the same age they were 60 years ago! Care to explain that, for those of us who missed the epic Part Five?
Panda: Well, as weres, they're magical creatures--
Sally: No. I'm a werewolf. We age. You've seen my grandfather. Try again.
Panda: Clean living, healthy lifestyle, and using every product exactly as directed could--
Sally: Eternal Life through Pepsodent and cannibalism? Weaksauce.
Panda: Summer Daydream?
Sally: That's Dounsbury. Mal's only entitled to weekly delusions and two 15-minute psychotic breaks per day, neither of which should be diverting me from my busy schedule.
Panda: Ok, they were put in cryogenic suspension by the Witness Protection Program for ratting out the Broccoli* crime family.
Caption: *(pronounced 'bri-COH-lee').
Sally: the Broccoli crime family?? Who are they? Why do they want Marvin and Dear dead? Since when does the Witness Protection Program have technology like that? or was all this explained in Part Five?
Panda: No, Part Five just drops cryptic hints. It's actually all revealed in 'Marvin & Dear #0'. It's, umm, highly collectible, so there might not be any left by the time you get to the comicbook shop.
Sally: Convenient. You're digging yourself a hole here.
Panda: *sigh* I know, but you have to do that to build a foundation.
Caption, bottom right: to be continued in Part 7. (no, really this time)
