rough ideas part1
i've been trying today to read about nathaniel rochester but my focus keeps shifting back to sam patch. i'm not sure when this obsession began with me, but it certainly does persist. and that ridiculous bear cub he was dragging around from bar to bar while he was drumming up interest and drinking whisky in the hours leading up to his fateful jump.
sam patch wasn't even a rochesterian.
i think i'd have much more fun if i place nathaniel rochester in a spaceship that crashes in a field just off the banks of the genesee. he also needs something like a talking duck that he carries around beneath his left arm. i have no intent on writing any factual history, by the way, just the history that makes sense to me.
there is only so much i can read about grist mills and rope and nail factories.
...maybe a talking duck that only tells hackney jokes about someone walking into a bar with a talking duck...
...a spaceship which was repaired by seneca indians and later used to transport escaped slaves on the underground railroad...

I believe that's your starting point right there. That's effin' perfect.
I've been thinking about the first film I'll make after I graduate, it's going to be a fakey-history based on the creators of Felix the Cat--excessively shy Otto Mesmer, who actually created the character, and the loudmouthed drunk Australian hack-cartoonist Pat Sullivan, who took credit for Felix and made all the money even after serving time in jail for raping a 14-year-old runaway and then giving his wife syphillis. The early 1900s were a fuckin' mess, it was great. I plan on incorporating a large cat that only one or other of the characters can see.
"a large cat that only one or other of the characters can see..."
kind of like that aparition that only Hogan can see???(see comments on Get Pumped entry)
i keep changing my mind about where the spaceship comes from and what it does. the original erie canal was actually a constellation that our founding alien fathers followed on their spaceships while transporting flour.in space.it's a work in progress.day one.
can i animate it when you're done writing it? or at least make a comic?
if you can animate Susan B. Anthony and her invention of frustrating currency , by all means animate away!
yer on, muthafucka!!!!
