comic ideas i will never draw, ghost school, howard's moon, super elite team, wizards are nerds

]

Festive greetings to you! As a christmas treat, here are a bunch of comic ideas that I came up with a while ago that I will almost certainly never actually create. Feel free to buy these ideas off me for millions of pounds. Or two packets of crisps and a Werther's original (wrapped).

Idea 1: WIZARDS ARE NERDS

Well they are, obviously.

Idea 2: GHOST SCHOOL

An ordinary boy gets sent to a magical school full of supernatural creatures? Where do I come up with these amazing ideas!?

Idea 3: the IMAGINATION DRAGON

I know this might not seem like a very good idea, but you have to use your imagination.

Idea 4: SUPER ELITE TEAM

The fact that I have already used up every joke that I could think up for these characters makes a long running series unlikely. And Cool Bot tells the same joke twice.

Idea 5: HOWARD'S MOON

This is probably my favourite idea of the lot, but I suspect I'd need to come up with a title that isn't a reference to The Mighty Boosh.

In other news I am going to India for three months after christmas, where I will be working on comics in Delhi! I hope to get lots of work done, so watch this space!

Wizards Are Nerds needs to be a shirt. I want to wear three at a time.

I like that sad Charlie Brown-ish kid in the dragon one. But, also Wizards Are Nerds would be a cool t-shirt. Also, shouldn't "Wizards" and "Nerds"rhyme? But somehow it doesn't really.

I love the Imagination Dragon. Will threats of violence persuade you to make it into a series? They don't usually work but it's pretty much all I got in the bargaining department.

If violence made me produce more comics I would be punching myself in the head right now.

I will buy the ghost school idea from you.
Will you sell it to me for $15.00 Australian, and a picture of Bruce Samazan?

Oh god, ok, if you include the picture of Bruce Samazan the price goes up to $20,000,000. Without the picture I can sell it for $2.

My girlfriend has a job out there for a few months, so I am tagging along, basically as an excuse to bum about and draw stuff.

What kind of comics will you produce in India? Commissioned work or free stuff for your loyal, but filthy-poor fans? Any chance for a new ongoing webcomic-series from the brilliant mind of yours?

(BTW as biochemist I absolutely love Professor Microbe and his tasty looking agar!)

well, of course you should CONTINUE BEAVER & STEVE!

should you then still have time left (which i doubt), then ghost school & wizards are nerds would make some good supplements ;).

Combine all the ideas into one ultra-mecha-idea! Some sort of Ghost-Wizards are Nerds who live on the moon... with a dragon and some awesome b-grade superheroes?
