Can't remember what the root inspiration was but the characters coalesced around John being the tranny and you being the smarmy pooch. It must've been that Devlin Waugh and Devil's Guard thing. Plus, I was watching some movies and looking at shit, and the thing just popped out.
Dunno why this got triggered. It must be the associative memory thing.
Just a few months back I saw some black guy in a pink dress drive past on a scooter (which is only slightly more believable than seeing some unmistakable Irish drunk I knew stagger past the garage I was at while the tank was being filled a few weeks after everyone had gone to his fucking funeral).
I reckon, there's some Dirt Harry and Dirk Gently thing going on with this franchise idea. Some sort of violent black comedy thing.

Yeah, now I recall the Devils Guard reference. You already told me that, D'oh! The three of them are a good read. On that note, it's high time that The Black Library site was back up. I've exhausted my cache of Warhammer books....
I thought that Hitchicker's was crap. Mind you I remember getting a hiding at school years ago for daring to state my opinion of The Lord Of The Flies. Shit. And similarly, getting the same for reading a book I enjoyed- The Throwback, by Tom Sharpe. Apparently it was too adult for my 13 years on this planet. Tachy took it ill when I refused confiscation of said book on the grounds that it was privately purchased by me, and confiscation would therefore be theft from a private individual......

Tachy should read Teachy. Hey, ,I've had a few beers....

I borrowed the Chronicles of Gor off my sister. They warped me years.
Got a hammering off the headmaster for eating crisps in the library because some prefect was on a power trip. He had this way of grinning when he was giving you a bollocking as if to say "this hurts me more than it hurts you". I wasn't but the nickname "Smiler" I gave him stuck for years afterwards.
If you want an acid trip visit your old school when you've grown up. All those oldg hosts flooding back and the place looks like some crazed and shrunken loony bin for hyperactive midgets.

Devlin would *never* wear women's clothes... unless it was to get out of some unfeasibly sticky un-get-outable situation!

Hahaha! Nice one! Although didn't someone once say "All property is theft"...?

It probably would do, if you were tripping on acid... ;-)

Between the drugs and fucking teacher I'm surprised kids want to leave. Christ, it was trifle and hard nipples when the heating broke down when I went to school if you were lucky.

> "Franchise"? Meh! That's barely even an idea!
Yeah, well. Devlin's obviously a wuss isn't he. My character charges head first into unfeasibly sticky un-get-outable situations!
Actually, it's half an idea because I didn't make proper notes. But, you never know where this stuff can lead. I need to get some concept art done and work the story stuff out. Might never happen but it's fun.
