Attention Pencil Monkeys!

[Trout]

I can report LMS is also willing to take part.

- Trout

[petemaskreplica]

That's just as well, as he doesn't really have any choice in the matter ;)

Pete: waiting for instructions.....

[Trout]

I'll give you instructions, Bolt.

Put a pair of underpants on your head and go to the window.

Open it and scream, "I love cauliflower but I hate cheese sauce!"

Then burst into tears, please.

- That will be all

[petemaskreplica]

I'll get sommat to you tonight, Bolt.

I've had some pictures already, and I think this stands a chance of being a very "special" strip ;)

I now have many pencil monkeys at my command, but still I want more!

[Trout]

"Special" as in the type of school you went to, Mask Boy?

And I'll do the commanding round here...

- The puissant poisson

[Bolt-01]

Pete, does the trout sound worried to you? I reckon he's papping his bowl about this.

Trout: I did all that and they just told me to stop making an arse of myself and get back in my cage!

Pete: If you sent anything over the sendmail last night, I never got it.

Send it to whistlerstrip@aol.com will ya?

Bolt-01

[petemaskreplica]

Gah! forgot, sorry, kinda busy lasy night.

[Bolt-01]

S'okay, didn't want to miss it.

Here's my pic to show the idea for my part of the strip  (obviously the real strip will have to smaller and in black and white et all)

shhh! Don't give the plot away! (even though I haven't figured out what it is yet)

nice pic though, some good ideas in there.

I've had a few drawings and panels now, and it's looking good, I reckon this could be a masterpiece in the making. Or at least an extraordinarily silly thing.

More drawings always welcome. No real art droids have yet been foolish enough to volunteer shoddy sketches, come on, you know you want to! all offerings will be properly acknowledged, unless you're tied to contracts which state otherwise ;)

Note to pencil monkeys: avoid posting pics here, mail them to me, I'd like our evil fish-tyrant to have a nice surprise when he sees the frankly deranged things we're capable of :)

[petemaskreplica]

In fact, if any paid art droid contributes anything to this foolish exercise, I'll give the original art as a prize to whoever King Trout deems the best contributor to the final thing.

[petemaskreplica]

And I'll buy said art droid(s) a pint next time I see them. Can't say fairer than that. :)
