Sometimes when I’m cutting grass, I turn my thoughts to this website and question how do I make it more popular? I’m not interested in SEO, rather maybe branding and sedition. I’m not wanting to be as large as google, but rather News International size. Then an idea struck me, what about a children’s book, as that should be so easy? All these minor celebs and Australian Prime Ministers can do it, so why can’t I? But by doing this would I be stepping on Mister 8s toes?

Biggest problem is I can’t draw, have no sense of visual-IQ-ness but that wont stop me.

The way the book works is “I do this ..you do that…” The “I” being a ordinary man in his 20s or maybe its a range of different people, the “you” being the Stasi.
It’s set in Berlin and it’s mostly dusk or night and Berlin looks like the set from the film Dark City with a big wall through it and the odd searchlight sweeping.
The Stasi is represented by men in tan mackintoshes and they either have a very bland face or they probably have no features on their face.
Some of the pages are:

I speak, you listen.
I is standing talking to someone in the hallway on the phone in a East German 1960s furnished flat and the Stasi is on the other side of the wall, with his back to the reader, has a set of headphones, one of those old double round tape decks and is writing

You speak, I listen
I is sitting in their flat listening to the radio. The radio is connected by a black wire to the next panel where You is talking into the old style of radio microphones

I do, you watch
I is distributing anti-communist leaflets, or something more banal, but you is talking notes from a darkened doorway or in a car and this leads to….

I watch, you do
Some you is smashing up the printing presses as I cowers as one of the You is striking down with a cosh.

I run, you stop me.
I’s path is blocked by the Wall and you is looking down from a tower.

Possible ending
You stop, I run
The Wall has a gap and You has their back turned to it and I is escaping… however do i want a happy ending or do I reverse these last two and You stop I run stays the same but I run, you stop me has I being shot by You from the tower?

Do you have any ideas? Do you wish to contribute drawings? Do you want to draw the book, publish it and send me the royalties? Or am I simply trying to avoid finishing the cutting of the grass?
