I spent a good eight months working on designs and back stories and character development and the whole weird science of this place. That's how it starts. The first chapter shows how he meets Zep, the pointy-headed character. He's like this robot who becomes Zep's pet in a weird way. They have a much more equal relationship than that, but they really can't communicate with each other because neither of them can talk.
Rover spits out little pictures, but that's really it.
The various stories in both anthologies range from the ridiculous to the poignant to the sublime. We didn't want to be that clever about it. Really we just wanted the book to have really strong art and really strong stories. It's not mandatory, but there are 18 of us in the group now, so if you want, you can have 18 different opinions. But this is comics, not animation.
