Welcome back to my second commentary on Revenge of CRUQUIUS. Last time I explained the origin of the comic strip this time I will delve into creation itself.
As I wrote last time, it started off spontaneous, after the pictures were already made. So, to make a comic out of it, the group had to make due with the images available. Offcourse, some pointed some pictures out that they wanted to be in there. But one image doesn't make a comic, so they needed some basic storyline.
Now the main characters were already in place, Emma McMurphy, Captain Constance Bashford en Lady A are welll known characters in the Dutch Steampunk community, and beyond. What was necessary was a opponent, represented by (almost) faceless goons. You know, cannonfodder that solely exist to make the heroes look... you know. Heroic. And they are faceless, so you can make em anything you want. But more on them next time.
And than they had the frog... Well if you have something that unique you got to include that!
So little later one came up with the idea the Emma McMurphy discoverd to frog was poised by the... You know what. You have already read this on... Or have you? ...You do? Well than you are allowed to read chapter two below.
Chapter two
Emma gathers her friends and tells them about the distressing news. Lady A, Emma McMurphy and Cpt. Constance Bashford take matters into their own hands and decide to cleanse the water first, so the damage doesn't get worse, and then find those responsible,-( They're suspecting Mayor Bartho's men from the close-by town Abcoude. The mayor has been known for his hatred towards the Cruquius pumps because it makes the Cruquius villages independent and not needing his town's help with pumping the lakes. Thus he makes less money )- and stop them, no matter the cost.
Check back tomorrow, for chapter three!
