Hey look, folks… A NEW STRIP!
I should also mention… this strip also marks the very first time I have ever put myself IN the strip itself.
All those names mentioned in the first panel are REAL people that gave me many of the ideas I used for different ways Roy got silver poisoning. I didn’t feel comfortable using their last names without their permission so only their first names were used. They were all people who contributed to a Facebook post I made earlier in the year where I asked for suggestions with “silver” in it. Now, I didn’t reveal the reason WHY I was looking for suggestions with “silver” in it but now you all obviously know.
I tried to use as many suggestions as I possibly could but some I just couldn’t make a joke out of. – at least not in three to four panels, anyway.
Here were some of the suggestions I thought were great but couldn’t figure out how to use:
- Kevin Bacon movie, Quicksilver
- The song “silver and gold” – never heard of it
- The song “silver dollar” by Bobby Darin – another one I hadn’t heard
- Silver Bullet, the movie
- Silver Lady by David Soul
- Silver Streak, the movie
- Silverchair, the band
- Alicia Silverstone
- Silver, by The Pixies
- Silver, by The Smashing Pumpkins
- Comic book characters: Silver St. Cloud, The Silver Samurai, Silver Sable, Silverclaw
- Phil and Cathy Silvers
- Jay Silverheels
- Man on the Silver Mountain, a song by Ronnie James Dio
- A song “Silver Thread and Golden Needles”
- Sliver and Gold song
- Brandon, MO theme park, Silver Dollar City
- Silver-haired fox/vixen
- Silver Ranger (Power Rangers)
- Silver rings
- Silver Streak
For everyone who contributed their ideas, I thank you for your suggestions. I hoped it was fun seeing some of your suggestions pop up in the strip. As you can see, I probably COULD have continued this strip idea but at some point, I figured it was time to go to something new as I have quite a few other strip ideas I haven’t even started yet.
