      .html.html This is getting good... I like the way that you're finally showing Burke killing an ape, rather than just that TV bullsh*t of him "beating one up"... Had the show been done now (or done correctly in the first place) then maybe we would have seen more things like that... I guess you're right Whitty, there are going to be quite a few "Burke fans" who aren't going to like seeing this...<.html<.html

      Yeah, a Walther P-38. I guess they were saying the gorillas were nazis.

      I think what they were really saying is "We're too cheap to invest some money into making a few prop 'ape' pistols, so we'll use what's lying around..."

      Well, it seems a bit like flogging a dead horse, but . . .
      that's why.  Her horse was killed when it was stolen
      by an escaped human.  And though it was the loss
      of her horse that initially made he go into veterinary
      medicine, it was the fact that a human, that is by
      them consider an animal, would have the intelligence
      to steal a horse to make his escape that peaked her
      interest in pursuing a career in animal psychology.
      And that's why she specializes in human behavior.

      Is Galen going home?
      Is he tired of life on the road?
      WHat's he going to do?  Go

      old work anyway?  Anyone know?

      Yes, but they did go for something not easily identifiable.
      Before the film firearms fad, many movie mavens couldn't
      tell their ass from their elbow when it can to weapons.
      But they did know the well known weapons.  They'd
      seen Luger in all the war movies on TV, and the
      Walther PPK had been popularized by James Bond
      in the movies.  So they needed some evil looking
      pistol that no one remembers.  So, unless you'd
      looked closely at those James Bond posters
      you's never even notice that P-38 with an
      extended barrel and a brushed silencer on it.

The last two years he's starred in movies that people thought he should've at least got Oscar nominations for ("American Splendor" and "Sideways") and maybe with the nominations announced this week, this is his year.

      Well, I didn't want to assume, and Ponytail didn't say anything that gave me the impression that he'd been watching, aside from that "ape lover" comment one of his fellows made to Pete. But then Ponytail dismissed the notion that Pete and Galen were friends, so then I thought maybe he hadn't been the one watching. We now know he was watching them and thinking they were spies (although probably the most inept spies ever known, just walking down the center of the street and talking like they were).
       
      Some of my perceptions are colored by things Mike has said, either publicly or privately, about the story. I forget exactly what's supposed to happen to Alan, but I thought it was possible that the eye belonged to the people who have him. I also recall at one point that he said not to forget about the gorillas that had been chasing the fugitives in the beginning of the story.
       
      The reason I care so much about Ponytail, Gorilla Vest and their motivations is that, knowing one of the main characters is going to die in this story and the other two will be irrevocably changed, I want the antagonists to be worthy of those events. I don't want a repeat of Star Trek Generations where a crap villain like Soran was the one to finally take down James T. Kirk.
       
      As far as pages 14 and 15: I buy Pete's violent reaction to the gorilla. He believes Alan is dead and fears for Galen's life as well. He's been beaten and shot at. Under those circumstances I can see him crossing the line that he, Alan and Galen have avoided crossing until now. I don't doubt that he'll accept the offer to wear the vest of the gorilla he killed and join the 'tribe', but I'm hoping he's only doing so to get back and try to rescue Galen.
       
      Very interesting twist on page 15. I'm not surprised that it's Ann's illness that has prompted Yalu to ask the High Coulcil to pardon his son after all these years so he can return home. I am surprised to find that Galen has made this request himself, presumably without the knowledge of his human friends.

      I think it was bloodlust that had come over them once they had actually injured Gideon and drawn blood.
       
      I had no problem with Gideon crossing into the Forbidden Zone to chase his prey. His pride and ego are his Achille's Hell. That's the point of the story after all, that his pride leads to his eventual downfall. In fact, once the big reveal hits in the middle of the story and you realize when the story is set, it becomes even less of a problem to imagine that Gideon would ignore the FZ taboo seeing as the entire ape army is basically doing the same thing at pretty much the same time.
       
      In fact, it could be that the events occuring elsewhere in the zone were affecting the humans. Perhaps the images the mutants were beaming to the army weren't exactly focused and there was some spillover driving the humans crazy. If you don't want to buy that, then I think bloodlust covers it pretty well.

      I had to put a lot of thought into WHY Pete would do such a thing – even though this story is set 10 years after the events of the TV Show and ANYTHING could have happened by now.

       

      Pete comes across to me as merciful and respectful of human and ape life.

       

      His Achilles’ Heel is his love for his friends and his loyalty to them.  So it is my belief that in the situation he has found himself, he might kill a gorilla (who is almost gone anyway) to find a way to help Galen.  He has had the (obligatory?) escape attempt and he find himself presented with another opportunity.

       

      Ponytail isn’t quite so complicated a chap.  He’s a foot-soldier and his IQ is nothing to brag about.  He is simply a plot device.’

       

      How about that shock value though?  I wrote it and I was still shocked!

      Not sure if you recall Greg, but there was a team of people put together some years back to discuss what we could do with a TV Show comic and the plan was to map out a path from the episodes we saw to some time 20 years or so in the future.

       

      The idea was to timeline a variety of events, then to re-visit the more interesting ones and tell the story.

       

      I always felt it was important to start at the end then go forward with new characters (and a few guest appearances) and have the alternative to also delve into the past (ie an important event from 5 years after the TV Show) that could link to something (or not) happening at another time….much like the “back stories” Ty is doing.

       

      The idea of Galen wanting to get back to the city is something I think Chris Lawless mentioned and a few others commented on and added to.

       

      My strongest feelings about the fugitives are that they would all want to go home.  If it was I in their place, I would want to visit the family home (or rubble!) and look for the tombs of my family.  That would be FIRST.  Then I would attempt to gather resources and fight the apes.  So 10 years on I hope they are thinking like this!

       

      So anyway – we will all define HOME soon and we might find it means different things to each of the fugitives.

      Sorry. Just as you thought it was obvious to all that Ponytail had been the owner of that eye on page 5, I thought it was obvious that Alan hadn't been killed off-panel behind the door on page 8, just that Pete and Galen are led to think that. Which leads to the question of where he really is. Still at the bottom of that hole on page 6? Already sent on to Mustapha? Captured by those gorillas from the first few pages?
       
      If I've spoiled the story by suggesting that Alan may yet still be alive I'm sorry. At this point I think I should just stop commenting on this story altogether until it is complete.

      Perhaps. Because just the fact that he hates apes isn't enough to make him interesting as a villain when that description probably fits a majority of the rest of the humans in that world.

      Don't feel you need to stop commenting Greg.
      I'm really loving the comments.
       
      Are they all from you or have you discussed some with others?

      Sorry. Just as you thought it was obvious to all that Ponytail had been the owner of that eye on page 5, I thought it was obvious that Alan hadn't been killed off-panel behind the door on page 8, just that Pete and Galen are led to think that. Which leads to the question of where he really is. Still at the bottom of that hole on page 6? Already sent on to Mustapha? Captured by those gorillas from the first few pages?
       
      If I've spoiled the story by suggesting that Alan may yet still be alive I'm sorry. At this point I think I should just stop commenting on this story altogether until it is complete.

      He's not the villian Greg - he's more of a "red herring".  There is a bit of suspense being built up around the villian, Mustapha, and he is not particularly one-dimensional (however I am not sure how much time we will spend on his back-story - there's a lot of other stuff to cram in).

      Perhaps. Because just the fact that he hates apes isn't enough to make him interesting as a villain when that description probably fits a majority of the rest of the humans in that world.

      his hatred, especially when he is also so very keen to get on and

      hates apes so much?

      What I have in mind here is something that integrates this with the LAZARUS character that was created by.....who WAS that?

      Also gotta get Dr Zaius involved there somehow.
       
      I'm thinking the name LAZARUS is often associated with "raising from the dead", and Zaius has his thing about human technology, so I think we need Zaius to be tempted by human technology (maybe something that brings people back from the dead?).
       
      Of couse it would have to go all wrong to explain Zaius' fear of human technology.....
       
      Anyone want to chime in or are you afraid Greg might carve you up?  ;)  Just kidding Greg you know I welcome your comments!

      Well, it seems a bit like flogging a dead horse, but . . .
      that's why.  Her horse was killed when it was stolen
      by an escaped human.  And though it was the loss
      of her horse that initially made he go into veterinary
      medicine, it was the fact that a human, that is by
      them consider an animal, would have the intelligence
      to steal a horse to make his escape that peaked her
      interest in pursuing a career in animal psychology.
      And that's why she specializes in human behavior.

        Sorry. Just as you thought it was obvious to all that Ponytail had been the owner of that eye on page 5, I thought it was obvious that Alan hadn't been killed off-panel behind the door on page 8, just that Pete and Galen are led to think that. Which leads to the question of where he really is. Still at the bottom of that hole on page 6? Already sent on to Mustapha? Captured by those gorillas from the first few pages?
         
        If I've spoiled the story by suggesting that Alan may yet still be alive I'm sorry. At this point I think I should just stop commenting on this story altogether until it is complete.

        Yes - they are a bit quiet eh?
         
        I wonder what THEIR motivation might be?  :)

        Thanks for your efforts (as usual) Greg, they certainly are appreciated.

        I am offering my support - by commenting as Mike asked. I've provided a mix of comments, some positive, some less so. Mike did not say he only wanted positive, glowing tributes. He wanted to forment discussion. There's one part of the story I've had a problem with so far, the rest I've enjoyed more than I thought I would knowing generally where the story is going.
         
        As I understand it, the mission statement of this comic is to create new, interesting characters to carry the TV series story forward. I assumed that the first new character who appeared in the comic would be an example of the type of characters you would be introducing, perhaps even one of the characters who would be a part of the new 'cast' of the show. Apparently he's not. My bad.

        Well, that's the thing. I did first think that the eye belonged to one of the men we saw on page 9. But then I began to think that that was what you wanted me to think and you were really pulling a fake out and the eye belonged to someone else. After all, these guys don't exactly come across as the skulking-about types. They're more the strike first ask questions later types. And we know how much Mike loves to twist things and pull the rug out from under you just when you think you've got things figured out.

        Thing is Rory they are being done to show to comic publishers.......who will certainly want them to be a COMIC, not an ILLUSTRATED SCRIPT.
         
        Know what I mean?
         
        But the GROUP COMIC could be more of an opportunity for an ILLUSTRATED SCRIPT so if you would like to contribute there.....?

        That's dead on Greg.
         
        And for the record......the eye is androgonous and ambiguous.......it is there to signify that they are being watched.

But then I began to think that that was what you wanted me to think and you were really pulling a fake out and the eye belonged to someone else. After all, these guys don't exactly come across as the skulking-about types. They're more the strike first ask questions later types. And we know how much Mike loves to twist things and pull the rug out from under you just when you think you've got things figured out.

        obvious, given a city ruled by humans that one of those humans would
        be the owner of 'the eye' but of course it is not explained because it
        is up to the individual to decide for themselves. Is it one of the
        humans? Is it a gorilla? Is it a mush-faced mutant? Do you really want
        the whole story explained and what is happening spelt out for you? I
        know I don't need that in a story whether it be presented in comic
        format as a film or whatever.

        I wondered about about what Galen used to do for a living before he met
        Virdon and Burke and his age as well.

        On Page 15, I wondered how Galen made the request to Zaius and the High
        Council to return home without the knowledge of his human friends and with
        them moving around alot from place to place. Does anyone have the answer to
        this?

        Hi Donna and thanks for dropping in!

         

        I’ll let Cougar answer the question of what Galen did – I always thought he was an assistant to Dr Z?

        Again, Neil and I discussed the question of Galen’s “conspiring” to return.

         

        It is something we mulled over and we came across the following possibilities:

        (1) he convinced Alan and Pete to let him go to Central City for a visit to his relatives every so often.  Did they join him?  I have not decided but it is possible;

         

        (2) he has had 10 years to set up a system where he might have trusted people/places to send and receive messages;

         

        (3) he contacts his father with a meeting place at times;

         

        and so forth.

         

        We never decided to stick to any of them and explain them.  Instead of explaining things we do try not to paint ourselves into a corner wherever possible and instead if we can offer some alternatives that DO work, we go with it….as long as we don’t see it as ridiculous or impossible……

         

        This way, if we ever run out of ideas we could tell that story!  J

         

        Michael

        Actually, it was never mentioned as to what Galen's occupation was before he joined up with the astronauts... I'd guess he was pretty fresh from the Academy though, as he was quite young, he seemed to be the equivalent of a college grad... And no, he was NOT the assistant to Chief Councilor (NOT Dr!!!) Zaius, he was in line to possibly become that... (Galen's going to be my assistant 'maybe' ")

            It is hard to imagine that Galen would conspire to return home. Is he going
            to betray Virdon and Burke as well? It is hard to believe.

              I came across that pin-up online a couple of days ago....whassup with that?  When did Zira get the implants...and more importantly, as she stands (or squats) in front of a ruined monument that causes her to question the most basic beliefs of her entire civilization....what made her horny?

              I believe it would be very possible for Galen to want to return to his

              live on the run for so long before it became too much. And no one is

              > Actually, it was never mentioned as to what Galen's occupation was
              before he joined up with the astronauts... I'd guess he was pretty
              fresh from the Academy though, as he was quite young, he seemed to be
              the equivalent of a college grad... And no, he was NOT the assistant
              to Chief Councilor (NOT Dr!!!) Zaius, he was in line to possibly
              become that... (Galen's going to be my assistant 'maybe' ")

              *** Zaius tells Urko that Galen "maybe" will become his assistant
              before Urko storms out. But then, Zaius orders Galen to accompany
              Urko to Chalo, to ensure that nothing untoward happens to
              the "astronauts"; in the script he says, "I want you to go along with
              Urko AS MY REPRESENTATIVE" (my emphasis). Galen says (of Urko), "He
              won't listen to me." And Zaius tells him that he has Zaius' authority
              when he travels as his representative.

              Ergo, Zaius then-and-there was hiring Galen to be his representative.
              So that, when Urko takes out his pistol to shoot the astronauts,
              Galen has but to say "Urko -- No." and Urko backs down. Zaius must
              have made it official. Urko, on their journey to Chalo, refers to
              Galen as an "errand boy". Zaius' errand boy. With his authority as
              his representative.

              The real question is: Why didn't Zaius personally accompany Urko to
              Chalo, in order to see to it that the astronauts weren't killed
              prematurely? What kept him at Central City? What was so important
              that he couldn't leave Central City in order to deal with the danger
              posed by these new astronauts? In "THE LEGACY", he wasn't so busy
              that he couldn't ride with Urko to the ruins of Oakland to deal with
              the captured Virdon, after all. So... why did he have to stay behind
              at Central City and send a newly-hired representative /
              assistant / "errand-boy" with Urko, instead?

              focused on things that to me are not that important but that is all
              subjective I suppose.

              There are way more things, that since drawing the pages, that I have
              noticed that could and should be ripped apart if someone really wanted
              to. Some things I have thrown in there have not caused even a tiny
              ripple and that has suprised me to say the least.

              You will see shortly Donna.

               

              Remember, things that may be hard to believe might be so because they are not what they seem……

               

              Also, put yourself in Galen’s place.  You help out 2 strangers who say they are from your past.  You grow close.  One of them pines for home.  Wouldn’t you hope to return home?  Would you want to see your dying mother?  Would you be thinking all that rationally?

               

              Everyone has a weakness and I am looking closely at Galen’s (wishing to return home), Alan’s (wishing to return home) and Pete’s (needing to help his friend/s) and exploring how they might behave.

               

              How many times have we seen the “thumbs down” scenario where two people do battles and one refuses to kill the other?  That’s what I would expect from the TV Show but it isn’t what I’d really want to see…..give me something different and unexpected any day.

               

              Thanks for your comments Donna – hope you keep commenting as we go along.

               

              Did we see p 16 today?

              It is hard to imagine that Galen would conspire to return home.  Is he going
              to betray Virdon and Burke as well?  It is hard to believe.

              It is hard to imagine that Galen would conspire to return home.  Is he going
              to betray Virdon and Burke as well?  It is hard to believe.

                have made it official. Urko, on their journey to Chalo, refers to

                -- Good pick up Patrick. So Galen really did give up a lot when he ran
