Script: W.A.S.P. episode THREE

The third installment of W.A.S.P.

I've been away for a few days, so excuse the lack of posts. I'll have something tomorrow.

World Animal Space Patrol THREE
I Want My Mummi

BTW: check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_space for details on the actual space animals this is based on.

PAGE ONE
This is a 2x3 panel page with the first 4 panels showing a fish in special bowl inside a space station,

1/1
[ She was the first fish in space. Back in '73. ]
A fish bowl in space with Mummi, the mummichog.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummichog
The bowl is a modified astronaut helmet, with little thrusters for moving about in space.

1/2
[ She liked it. And it liked her. ]
Another view of the bowl.

1/3
[ For to Mummi, space become a friend. A living entity. A companion. ]
And another.

1/4
[ She could communicate with it. Understand it. Scan it. ]
And another.

1/5
[ And in return it enriched her. Informed her. Protected her. ]
A shape visible behind the bowl, distorted by the water and bowl. The shape is a space-suited chimp, who we meet later in this episode, but for now you don't want to show that clearly.

1/6
[ But space always has its surprises. ]
A gloved hand (spacesuit gloves) in the bowl about to grab the startled mummichog.


PAGE TWO
Page with two small panels across, then a full width panel with titles.

2/1
A space shuttle type craft about to dock with the international space station. I figure no-one else is really using the international space station, so our animals friends are. Speech bubble from the space ship.

From space shuttle (Hiro): "Cheer up, friend Horst."

2/2
Horst and Hiro inside the shuttle, docking with the space station.
Horst: "Sorry, Hiro. I'm a bit ... how you say? Down in the dumpster."
Hiro: "Ham's death was hard on you."

2/3
Hiro is loading cartons of fish food onto Horst's back. So he's standing with all four feet on the ground like a real turtle. There's at least a partial W.A.S.P. logo in the area they are in.
Horst: "If only my Shell Shield power was bigger I may have saved him."
Hiro: Do not beat up on yourself, old friend. You did all you could."


PAGE THREE
3/1
Hiro walking (hopping?) while Horst carries the fish food cartons on his shell.
Hiro: "Hey, Mummi. We're home with the shopping (hee hee)!"

3/2
Her empty bowl.
Hiro: "Mummi? You there?"
Horst: "(gasp) She's gone!"
TITLES: I Want My Mummi

3/3
Alien in a doorway.
(off) Hiro: "What the ... ?!?"


PAGE FOUR
4/1
Horst uses his shell shield (the force shield he generates that radiates out from his shell, so it is like a second shell of force energy, while Hiro shelters behind.
Zap! Zap! (from the alien) some of which bounces off Horst's shield.

4/2
Hiro leaps over Horst in kung-fu style. Horst still using his shell shield ability.
Hiro: "Hi-ya!"

4/3
And Hiro kicks the alien, breaking either some part of the alien's suit (helmet if they have one) or just giving it a really good kicking. Nice large action frame.


PAGE FIVE
5/1
Hiro standing on top of the downed alien. Horst coming into frame.
Horst: "We'd better call Albert."

5/2
Horst talking to Albert via videophone.
Horst: "... there was only one onboard."
Albert (on phone): "Must have been left behind as a rearguard."

5/3
Close up of the videophone screen with Albert.
Albert (on phone): "Mummi is vital to W.A.S.P. There's no telling what the aliens have done with her."
(off): "They haven't done a thing ... "

5/4
A shadowy figure holding something. Just who and what becomes clear in the next frame, but in this frame both should be darkened out so only the shapes are there.
"Mummi's right here ... "


PAGE SIX
6/1
Large panel. The shadowy figure holding something is revealed as a chimp in a spacesuit, with helmet off, looking very much like Ham. However, this chimp has the name tag Enos, and has a NASA logo on his suit rather than a W.A.S.P. one. The object he is holding is Mummi, the fish, in a plastic bag, just like the cliche fairground way of storing fish. Horst and Hiro should be partially visible in the frame, perhaps as silhouettes in the foreground or off to one side.
Enos: "... with me."
Horst: "Mein Gott! Ham? Is that you?"

6/2
Enos in close up, make sure we can see his name tag, Enos.
Enos: "Ham? No, I'm not Ham. But how is he... ?

6/3
Enos, Hiro and Horst all in frame. Enos speaks, while the others look shocked.
Enos: " How is my brother?"
Put exclamation marks !! above Horst and Hiro.

NEXT: ENOS' HEAVENLY MUSIC EXPLORATION

Script: W.A.S.P. episode TWO

The second six-page episode of W.A.S.P.

A script looking for a home/artist. A new episode will be blogged each week.

Love, death and fleas in space.

World Animal Space Patrol TWO
The Factory of Fatal Fembots


PAGE ONE
1/1
Felicette, the french cat talking to a videophone on which we see Albert. Albert is wearing a dark, sombre suit. See the previous episode for descriptions of the characters.
Felicette: "Looking sharp, mon cher. What's the occassion?"
Albert (on videophone): "Ham's funeral."

1/2
Felicette: "Pardon! My condolences."
Albert: "Yeah. I need you to investigate some unusual power readings that Mummi has detected from the space station."

1/3
Albert: "They originate from China, so take Mao with you."
Felicette: "Meowrrr!"

1/4
Albert: "I don't care what your personal issues are, just do it."
Felicette: "Oui!"


PAGE TWO
Title page.

2/1
Large frame with TITLES (World Animal Space Patrol) and the squad Felicette has assembled. Put name blocks of text for each one. The logo should be visible somewhere, maybe they are all walking past it.
The squad is: Felicette; Sterling, the psionic moss; Hiro, the Japanese treefrog in his sumo pants; Drossie, the swarm of intelligent fruit flies; and Mao, the Chinese mouse in his communist-era cap. Positioning and body language should show that the cat and mouse do not get along.

2/2
Smaller frame of a fast airplane, one of those lear jet kind of things, winging it's way to China.
(from Plane) Felicette: "Mummi pinpointed the power surges to a factory near Nanjing."

2/3
Felicette addressing the squad in the plane. Make her standing in the aisle with the others in seats.
Felicette: "Let's be careful. We don't need any more dead heroes."


PAGE THREE
3/1
Aerial shot of the factory, with a speech bubble coming from close by, as our squad begins their infiltration.
(Felicette, but not visible in the frame due to scale: "Hiro, knock down that door."

3/2
Hiro, the bullfrog in his sumo pants, bashing down a factory door.
Hiro: "Hai!"

3/3
Felicette opening a container that contains the swarm of fruit flies.
Felicette: "Okay, Drossie ... scout the place."
Drossie (the swarm should have several starting points for the bubble, but all going to the one bubble: "I'll be back!"

3/4
Mao the mouse pointing over to a factory office. Which is an enclosed area with a door and a window with blinds. Maybe show Drossie in the background going away into the factory.
Mao: "There's an office just over here."

3/5
Wider frame to finish the page showing the squad (minus Drossie who is scouting) going through the office for clues. Felicette is carrying Sterling, the moss.
Felicette: "Look for anything suspicious."
It's an office with a desk, comfortable chair behind the desk, and a wooden one in front. A lamp, some filing cabinets which some of the squad are going through. Make sure Sterling the moss is visible on the desk. The desk can have some papers and files on it. Also make sure the door is open.


PAGE FOUR
4/1
Drossie flies back in through the door.
Drossie: "Um, Boss ... Say hello to my little friend."

4/2
A fembot coming toward the door.
Fembot: "Would you like a cocktail?"
Felicette (off) 'What is that?"
The fembot should be a sexy android, probably in a uniform, such as a french maid, nurse, schoolgirl, etc. There will be more to draw, and these can be in the other uniforms.

4/3
The fembot, close up with a focus on the fembot's hand with normal female sized nails that click out with a {Cl-chink!} to be about 4+ times longer. Don't go too long though.
Fembot: "Would you like a massage?"

4/4
Hiro slams the door shut with a body slam.
Hiro: "Whatever it is, it is not friendly."

4/5
Felicette looking out of the window with the blind, doing the pulling the blind to one side thing.
Felicette: And it's not alone!
Drossie: "They're heee-re!"


PAGE FIVE
5/1
Large wide panel of the office being beset with the fembot smashing through the windows, bashing in the door that the sumo frog is holding up, and making holes in the walls through which arms and legs come through. The fembots utter various lines that are visible as speech bubbles coming through the cracks and holes.

Felicette: "Mon dieu! There are hundreds of them!"
Drossie: " "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night."

Fembot: "How about a refill?"
Fembot: "Would you like a hot towel?"
Fembot: "Care for some mixed nuts?"
Fembot: "Would you like fries with that?"
Fembot: "Let's all go have a spa."

5/2
Hiro still holding the door, but only just, bits of the door have broken away and fembot hands and feet are poking through
Hiro: "I can't hold them for much longer!"

5/3
The fembots are coming in through the window as well.
Felicette: "They're breaking through the window."
Dossie: "That's it man! Game over, man! Game over!"


PAGE SIX
6/1
Sterling, the moss sitting on the desk, speaks.
Sterling: "Drossie could fly inside the robots?"

6/2
Felicette fighting off a fembot that has broken through.
Felicette; "Of course, Drossie, get into them and switch them off."
Drossie: "Once more, unto the breach, dear friends."

6/3
Albert on the videophone, Felicette at least slightly in frame so we can tell she is talking to him. We can't see all of here, and she is lying down in a relaxed pose, as the later panels explain.
Albert (on videophone): "Good work, Felicette. So you shut down all the alien fembots?"

6/4
A fembot approaching. Again we can't see all of the cat, but we still see Albert on the videophone. The fembot on the other side of the videophone screen. We can't see all of the fembot either, so we can reveal the true nature of the scene in the last panel, but we can see it's hand doing the extended nail trick again.
Felicette: "Well ... "
Fembot: "Would you like a cocktail? Would you like a massage." {Cl-chink!}

6/5
Wide panel to finish. Felicette lying down, with a cocktail, and doing that cat back stretch thing as the fembot scratches her just right on her back above the tail. She is smiling.
Felicette: " ... I got Drossie and Sterling to reprogram one of them ... for study purposes."

NEXT: I WANT MY MUMMI

Script: W.A.S.P. episode ONE

Okay, I'm going to put weekly scripts up on this blog in the vain hopes someone will be entertained or inspired enough to (a) draw them, or (b) buy them, or (c) pay me to write something else.

Below is W.A.S.P. episode ONE again, reblogged for indexing purposes. Above (blog-wise) will be episode two, and I'll post about one a week. I have five written now, and have started on a couple more. I have a vague idea where it's all going, so writing these six-page episodes will be a bit of a journey for me as ago.

Animals with ray guns in space ...

World Animal Space Patrol ONE (draft)

An excuse to draw aliens, ray-guns, and animals in spacesuits.

A six-page intro episode about a collection of 'real' space-going animals who have been grouped into a kind of animal justice league. The art for the animals can be realistic if you like, but would probably works better if at least some are done in that kind of comic-book animal-human blend that is everywhere. But however it is done some animals exhibit very human characteristics and behaviors.

There is a lot of scope for further episodes. You would not believe how many kinds of animals have been sent into space.


PAGE ONE
The first page has no animals on it. Rather it starts off like a 'normal' story.

1/1
[The Chinese were the first to detect the death ray on the far side of the moon. ]
The moon with a small satellite/craft visible traveling close to it. The satellite is Chinese, they are sending a lot of things up to the moon lately, so if any writing or symbols are visible on the satellite make them Chinese.

1/2
[ Naturally they blamed the Americans. ]
Chinese man at a podium talking tough in political mode.

1/3
[ The Americans said it must the Russians. ]
US president in press conference waving his fist.

1/4
[ The Russians assumed everyone else was plotting against them. ]
Russian guy raising both fist in the air.

1/5
[ But eventually they figured out it was something else. ]
Larger panel showing the floor of the UN, with all the countries in session.
[ So they called us ... ]


PAGE TWO
TITLES: The World Animal Space Patrol
Full page of TITLES, the W.A.S.P. logo, and several of the animals posing with spacesuits and ray-guns.

Okay ... lots of explanation needed here.
This is a group of made-up super-animals, but all based on real animals that have actually been in space. The untold backstory is that when they went into space some of the animals came back with mutations that gave them super-powers. Many of them act human, but others still seem very animal in their ways.

The logo of W.A.S.P. The World Animal Space Patrol should be a cartoon wasp with a space helmet and that sort of elliptical space trail you see in so many space logos, such as the NASA logo. You can also have the W.A.S.P. letters as well.

The animals depicted can be any of the ones listed below, although you may like to make most of them the ones in this or the next story. However, the main one in the middle should be ...

Albert, a male rhesus monkey, but in clothes with a pipe. He's the wise old leader of group. Albert (actually Albert II) was one of the first animals in space, traveling in a modified V2 rocket in 1949. Make him a stereotypical old guy in terms of dress, but he's a monkey. Thick glasses, suit with patches on the elbow, maybe holding a book or file of papers, and a pipe.

Felicette, a female french cat. Again, stress the french stereotype in her dress and pose. Felicette was probably the first cat into space, launched by the French in 1963. Official sources say it was Felix, but it seems likely that the male cat ran away and was replaced with a female. Anyway, she considers herself a French femme fatale, but also a liberated female. Maybe a stripy black and white stylish dress. You can have her smoking if you like. Have her posing with a ray-gun. (Note, at time of near death she changes gender, so from Felicette to Felix ... kind of a nine lives sort of thing).

Laika, the female Russian dog. The first animal in orbit, in 1957. That kind of attractive russian woman in fur type you see in spy movies, but a dog. She is always arguing with Felicette. She talks in old communist phrases. Have her resting a paw on the shoulder of Albert, who she has some kind of a relationship with. Called a variety of affectionate nicknames by Albert ... Little Curly, Little Bug, Little Lemon (all actually nicknames of the real dog).

Horst, the male Tortoise. Launched by the Soviets in 1968, we can make him (East) German, because of the name (he was a Horstfield's tortoise). He returned from space with super-speed, for a tortoise. So he's almost as fast as the other animals. He does have some other powers, such as increased strength and a shielding ability.

Two female spiders, of unknown nationality, Anita and Arabella. (Skylab 3 in the 70s). They now have super strong webs that will be used in the first story.

Mummi, a fish (a mummichog) that is a motherly influence in W.A.S.P. Have her in a bowl made from a astronaut's helmet. The helmet can move on little rocket motors when in space.

Bull the male, American frog. A redneck frog (from the 1970 space motion sickness experiments).

Mao, the Chinese mouse, in that old communist-era green cap with red star.

A swarm of fruit flies, collective know as Drossie They came back from space with the ability to pass on all their gathered knowledge to their offspring, and hundreds of generations later have memorized all sorts of things, but have a fondness for movie quotes. (first living things in space, 1947)

Sterling, a super-intelligent, psionic moss. Yes, they sent moss into space. Sterling is a moody, tortured genius with telekinetic powers.

Hiro, a male Japanese tree frog in a sumo 'nappy/underwear' loincloth outfit

Also;
a Parasitic wasp.
a newt
a snail
a sea urchin
a Mexican moth (Cydia deshaisana)
a South African flat rock scorpion
a Madagascar hissing cockroach
a Stick insect
Two more russian dogs, Belka and Strelka
and Ham the US chimp, who dies in the first episode.
(and many more if needed, guinea pigs, quail, amoebae, beetles, fungi, ants, bees, silkworms, more monkey and chimps, and even Mexican jumping beans ... ).

Okay. That was a lot to take in. So pick your faves, or the ones in this script, and drawn them posing with astronaut gear and ray-guns under the titles and the W.A.S.P. logo.


PAGE THREE
3/1
Spaceship heading to the moon. Make it something normal-ish, like the space shuttle or an old Apollo module.
Radio transmission from the spaceship: "Good luck, Laika. Your squad will be dropped just short of the far side."

3/2
Laika the russian female dog talking on a videophone to Albert the monkey.
Laika: "Don't worry, comrade. It will be a walk in the cake."
Albert in radio transmission bubble: "A cake-walk? Maybe. Just come back safe, you crazy Russian."
Also in the squad in the spaceship are the two spiders, Anita and Arabela. Horst the German tortoise. Ham the American chimp. Not that you have to show them in this panel, but you need to show them at some point in this page. You can show Ham to be American by a flag on his spacesuit.

3/3
One of the spiders asking a question of Laika. Maybe have the spider dangling down into the frame.
Anita: "Are we taking the rover, Major?"
Laika: "Da. We may need to get out again in a hurry.

3/4
Laika talking to the squad, Ham the chimp being a little exuberant.
Ham the chimp: "I call gunner."
(Laika): "Just remember the safety switch this time!"


PAGE FOUR
4/1
A moon rover racing across the moon's surface. You don't have to show details, but Horst is driving, Laika shotgun, Ham on the rover's mounted machine gun in the back, like a military jeep. Speech bubble from the rover.
Laika: "Just over this rise."

4/2
The rover being a small speck, with a large death ray on huge tank tracks.
(Ham): "Wow! That's bigger than Texas!"

4/3
Horst the tortoise and Laika. Laika has the two spiders with her.
Laika: Ham, cover us from the rover. Horst, with me."
Horst: "Jawohl."

4/4
Ham shooting at a couple of aliens with big rayguns from the rovers machine gun. Make the aliens anything you want, but something with tentacles is always good.
Ham: "We got company, boss!'


PAGE FIVE
5/1
Everyone hiding behind moon rocks to take cover from the alien fire, except Ham who is still blazing away from the rover.
Laika: "We need to take down that death ray before they attack Mother Earth."

5/2
Close up of the two spiders on or near Laika.
Arabella: "How about the old tractor pull maneuver, boss?"
Laika: "Da! Great idea. Horst, give us cover!"

5/3
Horst the tortoise creates cover for Laika by making a kind of force shield that radiates out from his shell, and deflects the alien blast rays. Laika uses this cover to get up and prepare to throw both of the spiders.

5/4
Laika throwing the spiders over the death ray with a super throw, but also in low gravity. The spiders leave a trail of silk behind them.
Laika: "Happy landings, leggy friends."

5/5
Laika pulling on the silk that now goes over the death ray.
Laika: "Help me pull, Horst."

5/6
Horst and Laika straining on the silken ropes...
Horst: "It's coming ... "


PAGE SIX
6/1
The death ray collapses on top of the aliens.
{KERR-SPLAT!!!} or some other sound effect noise.

6/2
Laika looking pleased, slapping Horst on his shell.
Laika: "Excellent work, comrades!"
(off) Anita: "Laika, come quick ... It's Ham."

6/3
Ham dead on the ground, a blast to his chest. Laika's head and feet visible in the side of the frame as the team look down at Ham's body.
Laika; "Ham...?

6/4
Larger frame of Laika holding the dead Ham in the classic pieta pose used by so many comic artists. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PietaPlagiarism has a couple of classic examples.
Laika: "NOOOOOOO-OOH-OOH-OOOOOOOOWW!"

Script in search of an artist

Here's a script for part one of a continuing story, six-pages long. Animals in space, ray-guns, aliens with tentacles ...

Love, death and fleas among the stars.

The characters in this episode, who are only a small fraction of the total, are ...

Albert, a male rhesus monkey, but in clothes with a pipe. He's the wise old leader of group.

Two female spiders, of unspecified nationality, Anita and Arabella. (Skylab 3 in the 70s). They now have super strong webs that will be used in the first story.

Ham the American chimp, who is rash and head-strong (and short-lived).

So while there are plenty others in W.A.S.P. stick with these ones for now and draw them posing with astronaut gear and ray-guns under the titles and the W.A.S.P. logo.

I'm writing episode six at the moment, with plans for about twenty or so overall. If there's anyone out there interested, drop me a line. Keep Watching The Skies ... for fleas.
