We finally get to meet the actual owner of the bar! This is Lucille.
Jumping into a real story line has been a lot of fun so far, though it has also been a bit nerve-wracking. I’ve got most of the story written for the next … long time, though I don’t have the individual pages and gags written out. That’s where it gets a little sticky – dialing in a balance between keeping the pages entertaining to read on their own but also moving the story forward. I think I’m doing a decent job so far, and hopefully I can continue that.
Anyway, I have more music projects to share with you, but I don’t have any decent pictures, so those will have to wait until Tuesday. See you then!
Okaaay! Now we know who owns the property, but who owns the business? Is Elaine just a hired manager, or is she heavily invested in the business? She’s been acting like more than a hireling. I guess I’ll have to be patient, and see how this unfolds. And who knows what surprise Lucille has to share!
My guess is that Louise owns the property-or rather, she sold the property to the bank, since they’re gonna run bulldozers all over it.
And is Elaine more than just an employee? Obviously she’s invested her time, energy, and heart into the place, but has she put any money in?
I’d say you were doing pretty well so far. You’ve laid out a premise, you have a villain (Snidely Whiplash, eat your heart out!), tension, drama, humor–all the ingredients. It’s a little light on geeky nerdiness so far, but I’m patient, and I don’t need a payoff on every page to be happy.
Just go for it–we’ll give you feedback. 🙂
Thanks folks. If I’ve done my job correctly, things will fall into place in the next few pages.
