I
like to pretend to make comic books in my free time, in
truth I don't really make comics, most of the time I just
create the idea and never follow through on it. Here collected
are the one's I've actually gone past the planning stage.
I do not pretend to make anything special, hell, they
suck... they suck alot, and it shows how half-assed I've
really done these. Although the ones I have actually put
thought and real work into are coming soon, so just wait
a year or two more and they'll be finished. Mad World
is basically just what I call whatever I do. What do I
do? I'm not exactally sure, to tell you the truth. I like
to pretend I draw comic books, so what I do is pretend
to tell stories about a world where everything has gone
wrong.
Mad World started as Deadhappy, who you can see
to the left there, with the white skin and white
hair. Deadhappy was never finished and the character
simply became the Logo (red smiley with X's for
eyes) and later again the character emerged. But
it never worked. So Deadhappy became Deadhappy.Org,
an online website dedicated to proving the existance
of ghosts. Of course this never was a real website,
but the website Bran Wiloby created, a character
in a comic I had been writing. With the name Deadhappy
once again being used, when I started developing
more ideas with no publications group to put them
under, I created the town of Coleville. Colleville
Comics lasted all about 10 minutes. I was watching
Donnie Darko one night when this song came
on towards the end, it was called, what else, Mad
World.
With
the lyrics "the dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I ever had", "look
right through me" and "no tomorrow"
it was the exact definition of what I had
trying to create for years. Mad World grew
from just Deadhappy to include Adventures
of Aimsley and Hail to the King. Over time
more and more ideas came flooding in that
could fit under both the Coleville and Mad
World banners.
