And this is one of most important tricks of the trade. Get the attention and keep it. If you have anything you want to say make sure they listen in the first place.
Or in this case :read.
Ok, so most dont read now what I am writing at all, but are mesmerized nevertheless.
This proves a general rule in life: if it is stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
So that it's clear:My ambition is to be a hack.
No, not Cassie Hack from Hack/Slash (Now there is one good comicbook everyone should read, I am more like shorter version of Vlad. Hurr.), but hack in the way of pulp writers.
There are people who have noble artistic visions and they want tell moving autobiographical stories.
I am not one of them.
If I want tell something it's in the subtext and not by forcefeeding.
more like... well, have you ever heard of the spanish flu?
It was pandemic of epic proportions that begun in march 1918 and continued till june 1920.
It killed from 50 to 100 million people. and back then population was mere 1,6 billion so it had a global impact.
Yes, nearly hundred years ago.
so what about ancient history, who cares?
Exactly.
Avian and swine flu were just scares bit like that mad cow's disease stuff.....
Damn.
You guys aren't still reading this because you are going back to top of the post.
I am telling you important piece of...wait.
See, I got your attention, again. The flu is sort of relevant once more and because I used cleavage twice well, heck: he's going to do it again! Maybe even bare breasts then?
Now you have to read what I got to say if I put in another pic of a female mammaries to either for your viewing pleasure or so you can revel in rightous fury over my clear and misogynic objectification of women.
either way: I win.
And you will listen when I bablle about importance of inoculation, medical advancement or how huge plague-proportioned crisis will bring the best and worst of people out then. But mainly you will read out of curiosity.
I have now made my point. You can tell anything if you can reach your audience. How you do it really doesn't matter much.
A small step back. In previous blog "Lessons in bad-assery" I outlined some thoughts of hardnosed detective story with occult undertones and after recently speaking with artist I am now quite pumped over it.
More on that later on. And those few who remember King Kong vs Bin Ladenstein that comic needs to be done, if any artists feel the need please contact me.
but so while waiting those updates next time I will talk more about superheroics of the welding and other kinds.
And those twisted ones of you expecting more tits move along or I will sic Supergirl to kick your ass!
Damn, it worked. I read through the whole flu thing just waiting for more boobs. I salute you sir.
