Hey, do you have a webcomic featuring child/adolescent characters in a school setting? I want to feature them in Cooties!

Imagine a scenario in which your characters' school or town has been invaded by mind-controlling aliens. How would your characters react? Would they flee? Fight back? Surrender? Or something entirely different? Come up with a strip (or single image) showing your characters doing their thing. You can pimp your comic all you want. This will be, basically, a week or so of my alien characters checking on the progress of Earth's invasion; for an example, check out the last three panels of this piece by Jason, Trevor, and Fes of Ardra fame.

Recommendations:

-Please use your own rendition of the Q'utee aliens. You don't have to read my archive to get the nature of their mind-controlling mechanics down, but I suggest you read these strips that show the hows & whys, why I prefer the characters be kids, a demonstration of being taken over, and various alien types. These guest strips will be canon and remain in my archives.

-Please keep in mind that the art will be shown at a maximum of 850 pixels wide. You can make it smaller than that if you want. I don't have any size restrictions.

-Even though your strip will be canon in my universe, don't rule your comic out if it's a furry or fantasy comic, etc. My aliens can be taking over several dimensions at a time, to cover their bases... Wink

-Please keep it in the G - PG range

-Tentative deadline is Mar. 31.

Hope that all makes sense and that you have fun with this. Please send any questions you may have and your completed art to el.cartoonista (at) gmail, or PM it to me from this board.

I'll see what I can find time to whip together. Although... my boys talk to dead people... I don't know how much little green men with throw them. Smile

Oooh, I'd love to see how Wendy or Fos help the kids deal with some aliens, Dutch!

Wendy would pwn aliens.

I don't have kids in my comic, and future paladin would cream them into tomorrow with his hammer...

Black Flag does. Although none of them appear in the first volume. What it doesn't have, alas, is a school setting.

Still, I can see it now...

Bellamie: We need to come up with a plan to get those aliens out of Morgan's head!
Turner: This is all your fault, Bellamie, if you had just let me kill them in the first place...
Ghost: What we need to do is analyze the mind control procedure so that we can come up with a way to reverse it.
Lock: I dunno. Maybe we should just leave things the way they are.
Bellamie: What are you talking about? They're CONTROLLING Morgan.
Lock: They made her shut-up. We've never been able to get her to shut-up.
Ghost: Yet another reason to learn their mind control techniques.
Turner: You know, Lock has a point. Maybe we shouldn't fight them... we should JOIN them.
Bellamie: Turner, they're the BAD GUYS.
Lock: Uh... aren't we the bad guys too?
Ghost: Since our basic philosophies are incompatible, if we're the bad guys, then they must be the good guys. Either way--
Bellamie: Could we not get into comparative head-ology? This is all very simple. If we don't free Morgan from alien control, either Mom will use us for target practice, or Dad will break every bone in our bodies.
Turner: So, Ghost... this mind control analysis... how can I help?
Ghost: The first step is to kidnap an alien.
Turner: Hah! NOW you're TALKING!

Unfortunately, although posting the script here is harmless, actually drawing this scene would provide a spoiler for the climax of Volume One. Sad

@tbowl: Yeah, he'd go Gallagher all over my aliens! Not kid-friendly! Razz

@lavenderbard: That was an awesome script! Even if you can't draw it up, I appreciate your sharing.

Hiya! We have a couple teenagers in our storyline. They're more in an adventure real-life setting than a school most of the time. But thanks for the offer! I might be interested in contributing, you have a cool comic. The aliens, good haha.

If you check out our work and like what you see, please send guest artist inquiries here. Thank you!
