(7 Panels)
Panel 1: KING OF ICE - a heroic mirror universe
version of the ICE KING, who looks mostly like his counterpart aside from
having a far more clean-cut beard - is standing atop a wall of his ice
fortress. He’s currently rolling his eyes.
Standing next to him,
and looking about the same, is GUNTER the penguine.
KING OF ICE (1): Ah cripes. It’s you two again.
KING OF ICE (2): What do you
want…
Panel 2: Standing outside the KING OF ICE’s fortress
are SINISTER FINN and BAD DOG JAKE, the evil mirror universe versions of FINN
the HUMAN and JAKE the DOG. The most notable features that distinguish them from
their heroic counterparts are that FINN has an evil looking mustache
(naturally) and scar while JAKE has an evil looking goatee (also naturally) and
wears an eye-patch. Not because he needs the eye-patch, mind you, but because
it looks cool and he thinks it makes him look kind of evil.
KING OF ICE: (From off
panel, continued from PANEL 1. Should be enlarged for emphasis.) …SINISTER
FINN and BAD DOG JAKE?
Panel 3: SINISTER FINN, holding his sword, points up
at the KING OF ICE. BAD DOG JAKE shakes his fist at him.
SINISTER FINN: We heard you’re giving refuge to a princess!
BAD DOG JAKE: So we came to kidnap her!
Panel 4: KING OF ICE gives an offhanded wave of
dismissal.
KING OF ICE (1): Bah!
KING OF ICE (2): I don’t know what you’re talking about!
Panel 5: KING OF ICE leans down to whisper in
GUNTER’s ear.
KING OF ICE: Show our guest out through the back exit, and
make sure she gets there safely.
Panel 6: BAD DOG JAKE points up at KING OF ICE and
shouts angrily.
BAD DOG JAKE: I heard that!
KING OF ICE (1): I don’t care what you heard!
KING OF ICE (2): Now bug off or else I make you bug off!
Panel 7: SINISTER FINN charges at KING OF ICE’s
castle with his sword up and at the ready. BAD DOG JAKE runs right behind him.
SINISTER FINN (1): NO!
SINISTER FINN (2): HYAAAA!
This has a very quiet kind of genius to it, MK. It looks to be a wonderful set up. I also like the fact that you decided to go "Mirror Universe", instead on Fionna and Cake (although I dig them too). Your descriptions of Finn and Jake are right in tune with AT's comedic sensibilities. Bad Dog Jake is just AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteBad Dog Jake - excellent name :)
ReplyDeleteThe mirror universe idea is a great premise and one that fits in neatly with the already established AT logic.
ReplyDeleteYour character descriptions are bold and funny, plus feel right for the tone of the show and comic.
Great example of how a licensed property can be explored in new and interested ways in a different medium.
