Since it's unlikely that “The Moon” would allow for moonings. I vote Vacation. I want to try my wings in a Rohmeresque setting and I won't necessarily find a good enough idea for a longer comic to do so.

Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and make a poll, I think we've waited on this long enough, I'm gonna go ahead and list what's been suggested so far, (since my last post) and everyone please vote for One thing, if we don't have a clear winner I'll take the ones that got a vote and start a new poll. Sound fair to everyone?

  • Swords

  • Ghosts
  • Fast Food
  • Bad Hair day
  • Boots
  • Late
  • Fish
  • Hiding
  • Magic
  • Treasure

  • Crime
  • Fairy Tales
  • Smiles
  • Vacation
  • Envy
  • Greed
  • A kiss
  • Flight
  • Summer
  • Autumn
  • Detective
  • Sword and sandals
  • Crime procedural
  • Suspense
  • Escape

A lot to choose from so lets whittle em down!

How about bunny rabbits?

Everyone loves bunny rabbits. They'd make a great anthology.

Heck, if you add bunnies combined with anything on the list:

Swords
Weapons
Ghosts
Fast Food
Bad Hair day
Boots
Late
Fish
Hiding
Magic
Treasure
2000s
Journey
Nostalgia
Crime
Fairy Tales
Smiles
Vacation
Envy
Greed
A kiss
Flight
Summer
Autumn
Detective
Sword and sandals
Crime procedural
Suspense
Escape
Monsters
Winter
Music
Water
Footwear
The Moon

you pretty much end up with a great comic.

We should have a duck for occasions like these. One someone could just put in a room with ~ 30 food bowls and let it pick the winner on a live stream.

So many interesting notions!

For this round, I gotta go with MONSTERS

Of course if we do monsters there could be bunny rabbit monsters.

“Loook at the bones!”
“I just soiled my armour!”

Happily, Bunnies could fit in to each and every one of these themes!

'In order to save the Fairytale Smiles Home For Nostalgic Children, 2000s band Ghost Bunnies On Vacation must go up against their old rivals - Bad Hair Day. Do they still have what it takes to win the Magic Boots Music Prize?'

It's true, bunnies go with everything.

Bunnies on your head,
Bunnies on the bed,
Bunnies everywhere
Bunnies 'cause they care.

Warm fuzzy, happy sunshine bunnies for the win. 🐰🐇
And maybe a beaver 🦫 warm fuzzies.

I feel like I'm late to the party and each and every suggestion here is pretty much great- would make for a great anthology. I'll just throw my own two cents (bunny cents? Could be bunny cents) in sync with the ‘single word prompt’ idea:

Here are some nouns that can have a range of nuance:

Heart
Mirror
Word (not ‘words’, just ‘word)
Gifts
Dilemmas
Friends

Here are some verbs:

Run
Search
Protect
Destroy

And here are some concepts:

Purge
Judgement
Forgiveness
Rebirth


Not a single one of these may be picked but I figure they can be used for further inspiration :D Personally I’d love a theme of “Heart” because it can be so ranged and surprising- could be anything from a lesson of anatomy some med student is having to a plucky hero needing to display it to someone (literally?) wearing it on their sleeve to someone metaphorically using it to light a dark forest for their people (have a gold star if you got that reference).

A suggestion. I was watching Love, Death, and Robots. All of the short films use 1, 2, or 3 of the words as a basis. That would give creators a lot of creative room to work with.

@sleeping gorilla

“Love, Death and Robots” was such an awesome concept for an anthology series!


@Tantz

Love those suggestions - I really liked Heart, Mirror, and Gift. So many possibilities come to mind for those!

Three words are like a story seed and just plant it and watch it grow.

I am seeing a few votes for bunnies, and I can work with that premise in so many forms.
So, I vote for bunnies!
