So for the second page of the pitch, I summarized the story for the first issue I was creating.
College Follies varies drastically in its stories, from slice of life humor to epic superhero parodies to...yes, the occasional story inspired by real life historical events, which is what we have here. One thing to remember, this was 1999, a shooting spree at a school was unheard of and no one really knew how to react to it. Hell, 14 years and God knows how many mass shootings later, the reaction may be less hysterical, but I don't think anyone could ever find a proper way to deal with the unthinkable.
Another thing to remember, regardless of the topic of a College Follies tale it's always a vehicle to A) tell a funny story and B) delve into the relationships between characters and how they interact. This first issue will examine Stick and Psycho's friendship, and what it's like to come home to a place and people that are very different from how you left them.
Anyway, I've already discussed the Frank Miller parody image I used here in another post. I'm cheating a little with this image. The shaded-in pencils looked horrible when scanned (scanners can be unfriendly to pencils sometimes), so here I've subbed in another copy of the image that I inked.
