Day No. 15
Three of the four sketch done this day, are scenes from attractions already featured in this book’s pages: Haunted Mansion (no surprise), the Sword in the Stone Ceremony and the Mad Tea Party. Which means each offered an additional challenge as to not repeat myself. The “Mansion” is a storytelling attraction with plenty of staged scenes and a lot of characters and details. In that respect, the Mansion was easy.
#43, pp. 86-87 - Haunted Mansion servants / America Sings / regretful: @caitlinfogartyart / @spanky.bear / Abigail R.
An option offeedr by syntax is that if the suggestion does not have a key verb like “riding,” “watching,” “eating,” etc., then I choose to put the characters right into the story of the attraction.
I think that I find this extinct attraction so beloved that I failed to really make the mansion servants regretful. Rather, they’re just whiny here.
I cast Ichabod Crane and Katrina Van Tassel as the displaced Mansion servants.
2x hidden Mickeys.
#44, pp. 88-89 - Sebulba and Young Anakin / in the Haunted Mansion: @eljcid / @alltookayleigh
In this third scene occurring in the famed Haunted Mansion, I forego the “Doom Buggy” ride vehicle and treat the attraction as a walk through the creepy house.
Sebulba’s dialog doesn’t allude to anything in particular. I wanted some response to the voice coming from the coffin and didn’t think he or Anakin would be eager to assist.
4x hidden Mickeys.
#45, pp. 90-91 - Darth Vader taking Luke and/or Leia with Stormtrooper bodyguards / pulling the sword out of the stone / wearing a cast member costume from the Enchanted Tiki Room: @akoymdf / Nicole P / @fletchthis
Finding images of the Cast-Member costume for “The Enchanted Tiki Room” was not easy, and what I did find I can’t say is correct.
There’s really only two stories to tell in a single panel comic setup, isn’t there? 1) Someone can’t pull the wort out of the stone/anvil. 2) Someone who can.
2x hidden Mickeys.
#46, pp. 92-93 - Meg with Hercules / getting on Teacups: Nicole P. / Abigail R.
What’s the story of this scene if “getting in” means that things are happening before the main action? Reluctance? Horror? Unbridled excitement? I ended up with prologue, triggering the reader’s imagination of what could go wrong given Hercules’ well known godlike strength.
2x hidden Mickeys.
