#13: High-Fiber Diet

RealityJockey on April 15, 2024

This one's been a long time coming. Juggling chronic incurable illness and a demanding day-job is like that. You can support my move to eccentric artist with a stable income by helping this comic go viral in its own way, and maybe by keeping your eye out for the Alfie's World Merch that might be coming your way soon!

This strip marks the first appearance of the Bedroom, such as it is.

This strip marks the first appearance (by poster, at least!) of Violet Rose.

This strip marks the first appearance (by poster, at least!) of the metal band LICHSWORD.

It also (by poster, at least!) marks the first appearance of the promo poster for the one screwball goose comedy sequel I would love to script one day, if we could get the casting again: Geese on the Lease, the real-estate-themed sequel to the obscure 2006(ish) gem Goose on the Loose. The former film was recorded at least twice: its main star, a talking goose named Randall, was voiced in a heavily ad-libbed performance by Candian comic legend Dave Foley, and voice again in a heavily ad-libbed performance by American comic legend Tom Arnold.

It seems unfair that both voice tracks should exist somewhere (the trailer is in Foley's voice; the cut of the film I have is in Arnold's), and that no matter which copy you have, the other guy wasted his time making it.

The only possible solution is to bring Arnold back as the American goose, Randall; bring Foley back as a Canada Goose named Wendell; and let them team up for some viciously anserine* hijinx together.

Please, whoever owns the rights to this fantastic IP, get in touch with me. The second film in the trilogy has yet to be written…but if you greenlight me on this one, just wait till you hear what I have in mind for the third!

*anserine, adj. 1. of, relating to, or resembling a goose.
