Here’s the final storyboard for the fan art strip (229). Originally, I imagined the joke with Sir Morton talking. The text at the top, cut off, is pretty inconsequential. Something like, ‘Hey, want some pancakes?’ ‘No, thank you.’ ‘Eggs?’ ‘No, I’m quite alright’. For several reasons, I decided that Sir Morton, a zombie, should most definitely NOT speak. In the end, I left my storyboard and just drew roughly the same shot three times in a row. I don’t like the end result, the composition was horrendous, but I enjoyed the process.
This was a classic case of over-thinking the premise and not testing the execution.
I can’t help but look at the word “sake” and not think of Japanese sake, which allows for a lot of creativity when interpreting sentences which involve it.
