our update schedule [and other stuff]

The Great Outdoors is a weekly updated comic. Sort of. You see, instead of updating with a single page a week, Jacquie and Madeleine will be posting entire episodes every two weeks. You can see the update calender in the above post.

We’ll also feature guest comics. If you have a guest comic, email Jacquie instead of submitting it on the fan art page. Nothing ridiculously graphic, please. If you’d like to include cursing, email Jacquie first. Curse words are, unfortunately, censored and replaced with ‘themed’ curse words.

If you’d like to comment, you can use the ‘ask’ feature or email either

Madeleine: madeleine.moir@gmail.com

Greater Upper Eatside City and the Wilderness [National] Park On a warm day in the year 2970, a young man’s father died, passing on an amazingly [/disgustingly] large inheritance. The young man, James P. Wilderness, became one of the richest men in the world. He and his nearly-as-rich friends wanted to separate themselves from the lower classes and live in a utopia of wealth - thus Greater Upper Eatside City was born! James bought and owned most of the land himself, his friends paying rent to him. When James died, he left the land to his son, Garrett Wilderness. But Wilderness didn’t want to own the city, he didn’t want all that responsibility, so he quickly sold it to the all-too-eager Jim Bossman, his buddy Rudy’s older brother. However, Wilderness kept the chunk of forest he owned to himself, declaring it the ‘Wilderness National Park.’ Bossman still wants to tear it down and build an amusement park there, so he convinced Mayor Mayfairweathersouth III to deny it of the title ‘national park.’ The forest, as all of the forest around the world, is very magical. Wilderness and his friends love to spend time there.

basic plot stuff

The Great Outdoors takes place in a dystopian-futuruistic society, where business and office buildings rule the work-world. In fact, a respectable half of current Earth [the year is 3045] is covered in a sea of office buildings and a thick, uncomfortable coating of hot, black, tar streets. The other half is an uncontrollable magical forest, pushing its way into the cement and plumbing. It is a constant battle for the big-time businessmen.
But enough about all that seriousness.
Greater Upper Eatside is one of the richest [and most expensive to visit] cities in the country. Life in Greater Upper Eatside is, when not hosting a big gala or HeroCon, humdrum and boring. Everyone is the same…except for three crazy dudes, who are perfect example of what the citizens do not want in their city: they’re outdoorsy, silly, and 100% against big business. Mr. Wilderness and his two best friends, Josh Kerp the wizard and Rudy Cooke the poorly-rated film actor, do everything in their power to make life in the city interesting – except offer help in defending their city from the cast of various baddies that seem to appear nearly every day, but they generally end up fighting anyway.
What are they fighting for? Honor, love, the citizens? No way.
Themselves.
