Original Commentary I had also toyed with the idea of placing it in islands around Britain, like Guernsey or the Isle of Man - but that would have involved a rather large amount of research for very little reward. Anyone who got the reference would undoubtedly be able to point out how I'd done things wrong. I'm not deliberately trying to make this geographically vague, but I don't think there's any wisdom to be gained by giving it a definite location on a map. This story was originally slated to be a bonus story in YSIF 2, but it got pushed back. I think that it's too important to be a bonus story; it tells you things about Kimberly and her father that would otherwise have been unknown - Terrence Modern Commentary ![]() Tuesday, June 21st 2005 - [329]Old Photographs (14 of 18)
Original Commentary Caleb was (and I suppose is) a Vaudeville "Jack-of-all-trades" sort of performer... here he's trying to do all those trades at once.- Isabel Modern Commentary Kimberly is in the Minerva Theatre, where Unlike Minerva (the prequel series) took place. A lost soul could find a worse place to drift into. This is a series wrap for Goliath, who I wish I had found a better place for. As you can see, he knew she was there but wasn't about to kick her out. He's kind of a softy that way. - Terrence ![]() Wednesday, June 22nd 2005 - [330]Old Photographs (15 of 18)
Original Commentary Modern Commentary I like the look of concern on Brisbane's face in that first panel. - Terrence ![]() Thursday, June 23rd 2005 - [331]Old Photographs (16 of 18)
Original Commentary Kimberly got the same room that Brisbane will later get, so we can tell that she left a while before he came. Kimberly does eventually get use that trapdoor, on Brisbane - Isabel Modern Commentary Unlike Minerva operated on cartoon logic. There are times when things don't make sense, but we keep moving fast enough that reality can't catch up before the punchline. So we had the portable trapdoor. The general idea was borrowed from any number of cartoons, including The Yellow Submarine. It was kind of an in-joke between us precisely because it couldn't possibly work in YSiF. The logic was different. - Terrence ![]() Friday, June 24th 2005 - [332]Old Photographs (17 of 18)
Original Commentary Modern Commentary The pre-reboot original run of Unlike Minerva was a weird, snarling mess that made fun of everything at once in its own barely-coherent way. There are some decent jokes there, but if anything works its because of heroic efforts by the many artists I worked with. I rebooted the comic and took most of that out of continuity, so the question of "when did Brisbane arrive at the Minerva Theatre" has a complex answer.- Terrence ![]() Sunday, June 26th 2005 - [333]Old Photographs (18 of 18)

As importantly, I'm not sure they ever found that colander.- Terrence |
