Suggestions?
Hello. Here’s some of my colleagues having a business discussion. What are they discussing? The next My Cardboard Life book!
I’m going to start working on My Cardboard Life book 2 quite soon. The plan is to make it just like the first book, with loads of comics from the archive plus bonus material.
If you’ve got any suggestions for the second book, particularly along the lines of what you’d like to see in the bonus material section, let me know. You can comment or email me at mycardboardlife (at) gmail dot com.
Story news…
Lots of people have asked me “are you going to do another long story like St Colin and the Dragon?”. The answer is “yeah, I think I am!”. Looking at the story-preview images again, I’m tempted to do “Recyclost” as a long story. I’d like to do “Cubz” too (it was second most popular in the vote). Either way I’m going to start writing it soon and you’ll be able to read it some time in the summer!
Discussion (21) ¬
I don’t really have any book suggestions. Just wanted to say that I LOVED St. Colin & the Dragon. And I’m looking forward to the next long-form story that you decide to do.
I love how this “blog area”. I imagined myself walking through to here from the comic area via that little archway. It’s a good place to have a cup of tea and catch up on the news after the drama going on in the other room.
Ooh pretty please do a Colin Cooks section in your new book! His ginger cake was soooo yummy!
That’s a great idea!
I think Cubz would be hard to sustain in a story, the bear is better for short jokes. The writing would have to be very clever to make it as memorable as Colin & the Dragon.
Recyclost, on the other hand, opens up a wealth of story opportunities with your two favourite characters.
I totally agree. I think if I do Cubz it will just be for one or two weeks.
bring back Clopsy, I want Clopsy in it, whatever it is
I agree. Clopsy should cameo.
Maybe you could make Doctor Delicious into a story and recipe book! Does anyone else really want to eat those hundereds and thousands on the lolly taking part in the business discussion … they’d probably taste of glue though..
Seconded.
Yes! This one!
He’s my favourite!
yeah if I do Doctor Delicious it will definitely have recipes in it.
If you’re tempted by that lolly why not dip a slice of ice cream in some hundreds and thousands. The real guy would not be very delicious. Underneath the sprinkles is paper and under that is a sponge.
Maybe a page of cut-outs, like the Colin and Pauline Christmas ornaments? A make your own diorama type of thing?
Seconded!
Yes, arts and crafts! It was fun making the ornaments last Christmas.
Yeah! I like that idea a lot!
I want to read Cubz, Doctor Delicious, and Mademoiselle Carton but I’m excited for any story; they all seem good to me
Doctor Delicious and Unfriended, please!
I think there should be a book with ALL the characters. Old, new, weird, mental. ALL OF THEM! (:
It could be… a party or something.
Cubz please!
