Summary of Doodlenose Events So Far
Since Doodlenose is becoming too complicated for a new reader to just jump right into, given that scrolling back through months of strips is a pain in this blog format, I've decided to start doing periodic summaries to explain what's going on. This is the first one.
"Doodlenose" takes place in a universe in which all of the various worlds are connected by a series of tunnels. This tunnel system was once the exclusive domain of the vast Postal Monopoly Cult Empire. Toadsgoboad, the strip's main character and a representation of myself, overthrew the Postal Empire years ago and took over the tunnel system, ruling from his secret laboratory in Bangertine. However, with the destruction of the Empire, knowledge of it, the tunnel system, and even of the other worlds has been forgotten by the peoples of the Doodlenose universe.
Toadsgoboad and his imaginary, though corporeal, friend Jerry Lancaster have decided to end their days of constant adventure and take jobs on a puppet show based on Toadsgoboad's comic-strip-within-a-comic-strip, "Waction 74." Lear Peony, head writer for the show, although initially enthusiastic about working with Toadsgoboad, has started to sour on him. She has gone home to the apartment she shares with her boyfriend to complain about the situation when she is interrupted by a phone call from her mother.
