Anybody here ever negotiate the US Copyright Office website? What a pain in the butt.

Anyhow I just finished Copyrighting the Doomstead Diner and locking in DoomsteadDiner.com for me & FlapJax. So we are all legal protected now. Make a Plan an DO it, as Pops likes to say

I think you guys will like the first one. Coming soon to a Theatre Near You. LOL.

At one time we had this beer league alpine ski racing program. Someone kinda like flapjack started a cartoon series called 'skinny skis' and I would post them on our webpage from time to time.

I'm happy with just having fun and contributing in what small way I can.

I offered another idea in the Bush/Treason thread based on a humorous post by jay. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with! I'll be sure to contribute ideas if I come up with any. Hopefully others will do the same. Anyway, you ought to work jay into this. He's a gold mine of material. Pretorian could come in with a Nazi armband. POAlex could come in preaching the Good News. Carlhole and Airlinepilot could have this insane running argument about thermite. If you want to have me in there you could have me ordering corned beef and playing with the mashed potatoes. JD should have some role, I'm not sure what, but something. Dino could have those vocal balloons with nothing in them, heh heh, just kidding, Dino. Holmes could jump up and down on the counter yelling "Ponzi! Ponzi!"

FJ, I sent you the text for the next Doomstead Diner strip. Its in your Yahoo mailbox.

More on the thermite argument between Carlhole and Airlinepilot:

Carlhole: Thermite residues give off black smoke

Airlinepilot: So do termite residues but Popular Mechanics showed that termites can't digest metal pylons.

Carlhole: Termites? Are you nuts? Besides, termites give off white smoke

Airlinepilot: You been smoking termites? You truthers are all the same

Carlhole: We just want the investigation reopened

Airlinepilot: What for, it's settled, no termites were found in the wreckage

Carhole: What about the cockroaches in WTC 7? How do you account for that?

Airlinepilot: Me? I don't have to. You probably think Dick Cheney put them there to sow confusion. It would take a crew of 150 guys three months to plant that many cockroaches in the building. I think it would have been noticed

Carlhole: Not if they got jobs as night watchmen

etc. etc. etc.

Now that we have secured the Doomstead Diner as our Intellectual Property, to build up the anticipation here I'll give you guys the general outline for the strip.

While I will be parodying some of the goings on here on Peak Oil, its not strictly going to be an In House Comic devoted to our shenanigans and debates/napalm contests. Rather, its more a Comic Strip version of stuff I write that will inform people about the concepts of Peak Oil, Monetary System Collapse, World History and Political systems, Planning for the Future ideas, and of course Good & Evil Its a lot shorter for those of you with short attention spans who find my prose here to be interminably long. LOL. FlapJax's pictures should help those of you with reading comprehension problems as well.

I have an outline now in my head of several different story lines that will be pursued in different ways in the strip. Our debates will be mostly parodied around the Campfire at the Doomstead Diner, which is BYOF, bring your own food The first strip is such a parody. Over time, I'll flesh out individual characters and give them their own separate story lines, sort of like Trudeau did with Duke, who was modeled after Hunter Thompson.

I'll also have story lines about meetings at the Fed, the IMF, an Illuminati/Shadow Goobermint story line, and various characters probably will take Time Trips forward or backward in time in Mr Peabody's Way Back Machine or Doc Brown's DeLorean. Also we will travel the world in the strip, courtesy of Sea Gypsy's Junk Rig, or Beamed directly to some locations by VMs Alien friends.

One thing I do know is I can write this stuff a whole lot faster than I think FlapJax can Illustrate it. I don't know yet exactly how often we will produce new strips until I know how long that takes him and how much time he wants to devote to the project until we can get picked up by a syndicate and make some money off of it. However, don't worry about me ever running out of ideas or stuff to parody, that will NEVER happen. I am really happy to have found such a talented Illustrator to work with here, his own single frame parody's also will be featured as part of the strip. As we collaborate, I think there will be an evolution so I'm not going too much further right now than just the outline here.

Anyhow, the Doomstead Diner is coming soon to a Theatre Near You on Sunday. It should be quite fun

Who says you get dibbs on our friend's cartoon talents? I can write funny stuff, too. Maybe even funnier than yours. But yeah, we'll have to wait and see how much time and energy he is able to deliver. If you can write funny material about the IMF then I'll have to bow out for the Master. Anyway, the boss won't stay out of town. FJ did mention that he was posting cartoons because the boss was away.
