    Hello everyone,

    It has been a while since I have made a submission of my fiction to this wonderful community. In many cases I am hesitant to do so as there are so many great authors here. So, this time I chose to take a slightly different bend. While I am no artist, I do work with a number of 3D graphics programs and have long wanted to do a short graphic novel with renders. The subject of the comic was obvious, it would be gaming.

    Several years ago (2005) I put out a short run comic strip entitled "The Foundation". Since then I have wanted to do a more graphically intense larger format piece. The first book of "The Order ..." is planned to be a 100 page graphic novella style.

    To start I will include the fist 15 pages here and if I don't get drug into a field and stoned I may submit more pages as they are finished.

    Thank you for taking a look at my humble work and I hope you enjoy it. So, without further ado:

    Your crotchety old cook seems familiar... does he by chance also cook fat white grubs on hot stones? ;)

    The old cook does look and sound strangely familiar... however, the evil rumors going around are completely untrue. I got my first job at age of ten, delivering drugs on my bicycle for old man Stratton. Er... Stratt0n owned the corner drug store, and paid 25 cents an hour!

    Blowfly larva do make great fish bait. I see fishing bait lessons in Jiv's future. Salt your celery, and prevent code bleed. Avoid turnips, as there is no known cure for what it does to your avatar noggin, and public persona. Despite the folk lore about "the Bourbon Cure", Bourbon does nothing to cure turnip noggin, it just makes you feel better about seeing the effects in the mirror.

    I really enjoyed this first issue, and am looking forward to more! Thanks for the giggles, Jiv!

    (Hugs my long lost friend, Karrie!) Welcome home, M'Lady!

    Thank you all for the welcomes... *distributes hugs* :)

    Jiv, we need episode 2! (But preferably without too much red - my only criticism is that the red & white background in the last few panels is really hard on the eyes, at least for me. :) )
