"Once a Gangster"!
The latest PROGRESSIONS story has been posted today--
"Once a Gangster":
In a shadowy world of winners and sinners, one rampant prankster pits his tricky brain and his witty style against the hard-boiled killers of the underworld!
One of our latest features is Authors' Notes for each issue, written by Stephen Greenwood-Hyde with some notes by me:
The challenging side of this story was that we’d only really flirted with this kind of comedy before, whereas this time we wanted to really get stuck in (so to speak). We used the HK style and references as a crutch to support us through our first major bout of slapstick, and as a result it’s kind of self indulgent on both our parts… but shit, even the big Hong Kong blockbusters have wonky plots, so I don’t really mind. Besides, it was this issue which gave us the confidence to try some new tricks on the next issue…
I've been without DSL in my new apartment for a week now, and they say they're turning it on next Friday. I'm cutting this note short because the keyboard at this internet cafe is crappy!
