Octopied
web comic from 2018-2020
When I originally pitched this idea to friends, they poopooed it saying, "well, in November (2016) this will all be over and it will seem dated." We all know how that turned out...
[insert kooky montage of creating clever protest signs, knitting pussy hats, spending waaaaaaaay too long on Twitter and going down the rabbit hole of monitoring oligarchs' private jet tail numbers....]
In February 2018, a friend said "what ever happened to that octopus idea? You should do that."
Season One from the April Fool’s Day 2018 launch with Episode 1 “The Arrival” to Episode 32 “Are You Fucking Kidding Me?” which ended the season at the Midterm Elections. Then Season 2 followed the same schedule of April Fool’s Day to November 2019.
A special 2020 episode dropped with a caper to drug and kidnap L’Orange Menace and put him in a fake White House so we could watch him think he was still president Truman Show style.
