Shadowquake is an evil killer robot. Shnookie is a little pink bundle of joy.They may be toys, but who can really say? One thing’s for sure: Shnookie loves Shadowquake, and Shadowquake loves Shnookie.
Sadly, if evil killer robots are built for anything, it isn’t love.
Thus, devastation and hilarity await them on every date.
This is a simple little something I threw into the DFC Pitch Cauldron last year, so as to give my poor head a break from the brainmeltingly demanding process of developing Cellmates. Opening with a sequence of weekly date by date disasters - the episode where Shnookie takes Shadowquake to meet her Grannie is just shocking - there may even be scope for it to expand into a proper demented soap opera.
well there's some kind of bizarre serendipity. kinda feels like an otherworld version of my post :-)

FANTASTIC! I can't imagine the reaction this got from David and Ben :-O but it is soooo funny. I wanna see the Grannie episode!
ReplyDeleteRhianna Pratchett and I once pitched to reboot an abandoned Viv Stanshall project called Tadpoles for the Beeb. It had a bit of a similar no-holds-barred approach - kids would love something anarchic like that, but it scared the TV execs witless :-)
Oh my God, I want to marry this.
ReplyDeletehee hee -- that's darn good!
ReplyDeleteI just want to scream "BURN DELICIOUS SOUP VENDORS!!" at someone now.
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean. I immediately sent an email with that as the header :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome - I love it!
ReplyDeleteI have no words for how much I loved this strip. NO WORDS.
ReplyDeleteGenius. I loved this too :)
ReplyDeleteooooh.... awesome
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps! Your kind words have inspired me to attack the next installment asap.
ReplyDeleteViv Stanshall's Tadpoles, eh? The mind spins at the very notion...
You didn't miss anything... Tadpoles was a rare misfire for ol' Viv. Really, it was just a long lunch at the Camden Bras that got out of hand ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, yeah. The long rocky road to Commissionville is littered with them.
