The Stinky Inkpen returns in: The Man with the Inky Octopus

The saga continues this week as The Stinky Inkpen chases down his elusive arch-nemesis, The Man with the Inky Octopus, a.k.a. Randall. Randall is up to no good again with his new weapon, the Inky Octopus, committing crimes and framing our hero. Leaving ink stains at the scenes of the crimes, Randall has led the public to suspect The Stinky Inkpen of foul play. Unrest in Chalk City reaches epic proportions after the robbery at Mayor Graphite's seaside manor. Art worth one million Slates (3.4 million US dollars) went missing at his residence, and the police have no choice but to go after our Stinky. Will our hero stop Randall in time? Or will Randall succeed and put away Stinky forever?

(If your are confused, look at The Stinky Inkpen's first adventure.)

The comic is coming along, although recently there haven't been too many classes due to exams and winter break and sports day and sports day week and the upcoming arrival of the princess at our school (this is actually a huge deal). So far for the comic, the students have worked on the hero, the hero's background story, the villain, the setting, a basic story outline, and they have looked at the setup of a real comic. I have also given them an action verb set of vocabulary words (punch, kick, ooze, freeze) and a "Monster destroying a city" set (roar, scream, claws, teeth, skyscraper, topple). I have yet to decide on the actual specifications of the comic--length, amount of writing, number of pictures, etc.--so any recommendations are appreciated.

For now, I leave you with an entertaining product of student ingenuity, one that resembles closely a friend of mine, Rahul (well, except for the strong bit).
