This
is the first time I've been a comic. Personally, I mean.

|
Oh,
I've been mentioned here and there.
And I've turned up in the odd hyperfiction
or two.
But I've never really been what you'd call 'on panel' before. |
|
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Being
here now wasn't
a decision I made lightly.
\

![](panels/blank.gif) |
There
are several powerful narrative entities native to comics and few
of them are particularly friendly towards creatures like me.
\

![](panels/blank.gif) |
Before
fully committing myself, I thought it was wise to take a
few precautions.

|
So
I hid my soul in a jar of salt. |

![](panels/soul5.gif) |
And
I hid the jar in a painted a box. |
And
I hid the box in an old cupboard. |

![](panels/soul2.gif) |
And
I hid the cupboard in a dark room. |
And
I hid the room in a forgotten house. |

![](panels/soul1.gif)
And I hid the house in an empty panel. |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
|
![](panels/soul4.gif)
And I hid the panel
in a simple story. |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
|
And
I hid the
story in you. |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
![](panels/blank.gif) |
I'm
sure you'll keep it safe for me.

Now,
I think we're nearly ready to get this show on the road.
\

But
first:

![](panels/ball1.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
Ah.
That's better.

|
You
can't spend any serious amount of time inside a comic without a
good set of panels to travel in.
\
![](panels/ball1.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
|
(Surprisingly
roomy inside
these things, you know?)
\
![](panels/ball1.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
![](panels/blank.gif) |
Anyway.
Shall we begin?
