Plate of Misery (2/5): Green Ops
#webcomics #comicsky #spiderbarks
Panel 1: INT. Cerebra Offices—Day. Mike fidgets with a pencil on the couch. Mike: I realized if I tossed the pantry peas, she'd just buy more. So I hatched a plan, a pea heist. Dr. Bill: You realize how insane that sounds, right? Panel 2: FLASHBACK: INT. Middle School—Day. Mike walks with Steven down the hall. Steven: Why not just tell her you hate peas? Mike: She doesn’t give a shit, dude. She gets off on watching me suffer. Panel 3: Mid-shot. Steven frowns. Steven: But you’re talking about committing a crime. Mike: I’m talking about Jenny Lark. She said she’d slow dance with me on Friday. I’m not missing that. Panel 4: In front of Mike’s locker. They stop, Mike’s desperate. Mike: I need your help. I’ll never be able to eat those peas… and I’ll never get my hands on Jenny’s hips. Panel 5: Steven shrugs, reluctant. Steven: Fine. But if we get caught, I’m gonna shank you in juvie. Panel 6: Mike holds out a hand-drawn map of Star-Mart. Mike: I got it all mapped out. Your mom clocks out Thursday. We snag her keys, get inside, and we clear the shelves. Steven: She passes out on the couch after a few Jack and Cokes. Should be easy to lift. Panel 7: INT. Back to Dr. Bill's office. Dr. Bill leans forward. Dr. Bill: So you recruited your best friend to steal his mother’s work keys so you wouldn’t have to eat vegetables? Panel 8: Mike snaps back from the couch. Mike: It wasn’t about the peas, Bill. It was about Jenny Lark’s hips. Dr. Bill: I've treated addicts, arsonists, and a kid who ate drywall... but weaponizing friendship for a pelvic acquisition? That’s new.

Plate of Misery (1/5): PeaTSD
#webcomics #comicsky #spiderbarks
Panel 1: EXT. Cerebra Offices—Day. Mike (OP): I hate the holidays. Travel, fake smiles, family guilt trips… but mostly, I hate the peas. Dr. Bill (OP): The peas? Mike (OP): Yeah. The little green bastards. Panel 2: INT. Mike slouches on the couch, arms crossed. Dr. Bill (OP): You're saying your mom still makes you eat them? Mike: Every year. She piles them like she's testing me. Panel 3: Close-up of Mike. Mike: You think I'm overreacting, don't you? Dr. Bill (OP): A little, yeah. Panel 4: Wide shot. Mike leans forward, dead serious. Mike: You wanna know why I hate peas so much? Dr. Bill: I'm billing you either way... so sure. Panel 5: FLASHBACK: INT. Dinner table—Night. Young Mike looks at his plate. His mom barks at him as his dad hides behind a newspaper. Mom: Michael, you're not leaving this table until that plate's clean. Young Mike: But they taste like dirt and death! Caption: It started when I was thirteen. Dad: Then eat them faster before they kill you. Panel 6: Close-up on plate (Young Mike's POV). A large pile of peas is on the plate. He gags dramatically, like he's dying. Caption: I tried to be strong. I really did. Mike (OP): Huuurgghh Mom (OP): Jesus Michael! They're peas, not poison! Panel 7: Mike's mom wags her finger at him. Mom: Every night’s a war with you. You want to go to that dance Friday? You clean that plate all week. Caption: The dance. Jenny Lark. Slow song. Destiny. I had to find another way. Panel 8: INT. Back to Dr. Bill's office. Mike sits back on the couch with his arms crossed. Mike: So yeah, maybe, I've got baggage. Dr. Bill (OP): Over peas? Mike: Don't you dare minimize this! Dr. Bill (OP): Trauma’s what keeps this office in business.

I started making comics with a brush pen, a composition book, and no clue what I was doing. They looked like trash, but they lit the fuse!
