Danae: I'm bored and wanna go on an adventure... Now!! Lucy: OK... Where do you want to go and what do you want to do? Danae: I want someone to give me an idea for an adventure now! Lucy: Sigh. I'm already exhausted...
Out pen and have at it. But a time warp (whereâs that physics nerd when you need him) visit to the Okeefenokee Swamp and its denizens would be fun for this aging boomer. Look forward, Wiley, to your daily offering. (Not real thrilled, though, with the glue the Chinese used on your 2010 daily calendar pad.)
Apparently this needs further explanation. I come from the Charles Schulz school of cartooning. In the 50 years he produced Peanuts, Charles Schulz never bought a gag or hired other people to help produce the final art. It is an art that needs to be an expression of the artist, entirely from the artistâs perspective and creativity. Like Charles Schulz, I approach my work as an art that has to emanate entirely from me.
reminds me of myself as a kid. being a tomboy surrounded by sisters was very frustrating. I wanted to go have an âadventureâ and all mom wanted to do was play with my barbie-dollsâŠâŠ..ugh
A truly open cartoonistic mind is not above accepting overall storyline suggestions from the public. It should also be noted that Charles Schulzâ Peanuts wasnât that great of a comic strip, consisting mainly of about 20 or 30 different basic gag situations permeated by cloying cuteness and mock-philosophical âwisdomâ, repeating over and over as if rotating on a Rolodex.
âItâs the character, folks. Donât read more into it than there is.â
Itâs the excellence of your work that does it, Wiley: people will read into it stuff of their own. Itâs just my opinion, but that people can and will do that speaks to your authenticity to your characters, even if it is âjust a comicâ.
Mr. Miller; the art which emanates from your personal self expressive creativity have been and remain one of the very few perspectives that approaches Mr. Shultzâs art. You do him and your art honorâŠâŠâŠâŠ.Thank you:-)

btw, âwhereâ is âthat wayâŠâ and âwhatâ is âweâll figure out something when we get thereâŠâ LOL HEART Danae!
Wiley - do you mean we are all lame brains?
Tsk, tsk.
No, say rather: unless an idea spring from the authorâs fertile imagination and strike sparks from his (or her, as the case may be) muse, the resulting attempt at wit and creative comedy will be, as was noted, most likely âlame, formulaic material.â

Itâs the character, folks. Donât read more into it than there is.
The material is produced several weeks in advance of publication, so it would be ineffective to seek ideas from readers for an adventure now.
Besides, I donât take ideas from outside my brain, as that only produces lame, formulaic material.

How about meeting up with the alien again and tool around outer space?

The only time I donât need my meds are when Danae or Capt Eddy are featured. Otherwise Wiley can drive me stark raving wild.

Wiley, so far it would seem that you are working outside your brain then.

Formulaic and lame? Sounds like public education. I know as I am a teacher.
âNuff said.
