This year we’re getting an early start on our Rudie Easter special – Back when I first came up with Rudie, I thought it’d be fun for a cute reindeer to talk like Joe Friday of the Dragnet radio & TV show… (Well at least some of the time she does, when she tosses out a catch phrase or two)… It wasn’t till last year that I got to thinking that maybe I should try a full Dragnet type of script, a Police procedural with clipped, Jack Webb sort of dialog… Can’t say that I was entirely successful, after all it is a humor strip… Originally this story was two pages – two rather crowded pages… Later I relaid it out for three pages, but it was still too crowded… Eventually I expanded the script to four pages while adding a few more panels for the ending scuffle, which seems to work out reasonably well…
Next time, Rudie will delve into the dilemma of, is the Easter Bunny Villainess or Victim? And what about the Mongoose egg?? Things could get rather dicey for the hard boiled reindoe, in the episode we call, “Part 2″…
