Comic Haul week of March 28th, 2023!
New comics!
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 - The show is pretty good! Unfortunatly for me, I have no idea what the Lazarus Planet crossover is and I don’t think this will be a good way for me to first experience whatever the “Dawn of DC” either.
Tim Drake: Robin #7 - “NICE!” - the cashier
Waller vs. Wildstorm #1 - this book is a weird inconvenient shape
The Rocketeer: The Great Race #3 and #4
Heavy Metal Drummer #6 - this book is also a weird shape but small
Punchline: The Gotham Game #6
My friend helped me write a story about my dog with chatgpt, enjoy!
[INT. JAMES' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]
James, a grumpy but acquiescent accountant and comic book nerd, is sitting on the couch, working on his taxes. Bucky, his peculiar dog, is pacing back and forth.
JAMES: (Sighs) Bucky, can't you just sit still for a moment? I'm trying to focus here.
BUCKY: (Whines and continues pacing)
[INT. JAMES' LIVING ROOM - LATER]
James is engrossed in a comic book, while Bucky stares intently at the TV, as if he's decoding a secret message.
JAMES: (Squinting) Bucky, why are you always staring at the TV like that? It's just a bunch of commercials.
[EXT. JAMES' BACKYARD - DAY]
James is mowing the lawn while Bucky digs a hole. James gets frustrated.
JAMES: Bucky, not another hole! What are you even looking for?
Bucky barks and continues digging. James shakes his head and goes back to mowing.
[INT. JAMES' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]
James is working on his taxes again. Bucky starts barking at the door, even though there's no one there.
JAMES: (Annoyed) Bucky, there's nobody there! Calm down!
Bucky keeps barking, getting more agitated. James gives in, opens the door, and looks outside.
JAMES: (To himself) I don't get it. What's gotten into him?
[EXT. JAMES' FRONT YARD - NIGHT]
James and Bucky walk outside. Bucky starts digging another hole.
JAMES: (Throwing hands up) Fine, Bucky! You win. Dig to your heart's content!
James walks back inside, leaving Bucky to dig.
[INT. JAMES' LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]
James is watching a documentary on North Korea. Bucky seems unusually interested and fixated on the TV.
JAMES: (Chuckles) You're a weird one, Bucky. You know that?
[EXT. JAMES' FRONT YARD - DAY]
James discovers an old, rusty metal box that Bucky dug up. He opens it and finds a series of old Korean documents and a photo of a dog that looks exactly like Bucky.
JAMES: (Stunned) What the...? Bucky, where did you find this?
Bucky looks at James and barks.
[INT. JAMES' LIVING ROOM - DAY]
James is researching the documents and discovers they are North Korean military plans from decades ago. The photo of the dog is labeled in Korean.
JAMES: (Reading) 행운의 개... Lucky Dog? Bucky, what is this all about?
Bucky whines and looks at the TV, which is playing a news report about a new peace treaty between North and South Korea.
JAMES: (Realization hits) Wait... are you...?
Bucky barks and looks at James, then back at the TV.
JAMES: (Softly) You're Korean.
Bucky tilts his head, as if to confirm.
JAMES: (Smiling) Well, Bucky... I guess that explains a lot. You're one incredible dog.
They sit together, watching the historic news unfold.
NARRATOR: (VOICEOVER) In a world of ordinary occurrences, James stumbled upon the extraordinary. For in the depths of his grumpy, acquiescent life, he found a companion with a tale as mysterious as the origins of the universe.
As James embraces the enigma that is Bucky, the threads of their lives intertwine, weaving a tapestry of mystery and friendship that transcends borders and time. And so, they step forward together, into the strange and wondrous realm known only as... The Twilight Zone.
Prompt Used:
Write a script in the style of the Twilight Zone about my friend James' Dog Bucky. Make James a grumpy but acquiescent accountant / comic book nerd. Make the big twist at the end be that his dog is korean.
