Breakfast in Dead

By Will Hightower

Int. Bedroom – Morning

A MAN and a WOMAN lie in bed with the morning sun shining through the blinds. The WOMAN wakes up naturally, rolls over to the MAN and kisses him on the head before getting up. She leaves the room while the man continues sleeping.

Int. Kitchen – Morning

The WOMAN enters the kitchen and prepares breakfast. She is is cooking scrambled eggs, waffles, and veggie bacon. She fills two plates with food and two glasses with vanilla soy milk before loading them on a tray and leaving the kitchen.

INT. Bedroom – Morning

The WOMAN enters to bedroom with the tray of food. She stops in her tracks as she sees the MAN in bed. Her face is unreadable.

Shot of the MAN, accentuated by a sound, who has his eyes and mouth open, his face pale with death. CU of his face. CU of his eyes.

Cut to: WOMAN in bed with MAN, who remains unmoved, and the tray of food. She reaches for the TV remote and presses the power button. She reaches over to the MAN’s plate of food and eats his veggie bacon.

Fade to black.

Things are changing at EasierSaid.net and IDK Comics

by Hightower on August 28, 2012 at 1:28 pm

As I am sure you can tell, things are in desperate need of a change here at IDK Comics/EasierSaid! That change is coming soon! Potentially, August will be the last month of the regular IDK Comics you have grown to know and love.

This is basically my new job. I eat cones.

Not shutting down, just remodeling and reevaluating.

The whole reason I started IDK was because I was asked to write for “Easier Said”. I started to have comic ideas of a different kind and thus IDK was born. Back then, I was just the writer and only writing. I was not any driving force, developer, or figurehead. Hell, I didn’t even want to have a blog on the site!

I had a bad case of paper face

Several things have changed since 2009. I no longer have an artist nor the time/energy/money to pour into making these comics on a regular basis by myself. Good for me, bad for IDK, is the fact that I have found a working program to finally get on top of my depression!

SKY LASERS!

Hello Hello

Hello Hello!

As you may have (not) noticed, I haven’t written a blog in a while. Or written anything really! It’s because I have been kinda busy with my acting jobs. I was in a production of Dreyfus in Rehearsal [Review]

Dreyfus in Rehearsal

And now I am getting ready for my next show, Body Awareness [Details].

Oh, and a Charlotte’s Web remount [Past Review]

As some of you may know, I have been working with my buddy over at [Steam Crow] to create the wonderful [Steam Crow Show].

Now for comic related stuff!

IDK Comics will be at [Phoenix Comic Con 2012]! And I will have a table and everything! But, as of right now, I have absolutely nothing to sell you. Sorry about it! I am working on that. I am trying to get all kinds of different things to peddle. Everything from prints to bracelets to hidden cam videos of myself taping myself without myself knowing*!

Also, I am trying to partner with a fabulous painter-friend of mine to maybe sell some of his art and prints. So, even if you don’t like my shitty hand-made-in-my-kitchen products, you might like his hand-painted-in-his-kitchen art. Here’s a sample:

By Ian C.

So keep an eye out for us at Comic Con. Come by and say hi! I might just give you something for free if you say you actually read the comic! And if you want a real interaction, stop by the booth, tell me my stuff is REALLY FUNNY, pull out your phone, take a picture of what you think is the funniest, then leave. Don’t buy anything, don’t donate anything. Just leave. And I’ll call you back over and give you a 100%, absolutely-free kick in the balls! Yup! I am just that generous!

2011 In Review

by Hightower on January 1, 2012 at 4:04 pm

It is just me or has this been the longest year ever? What the hell even happened this year? I think I remember vaguely.

We had our very first convention! (Jan – [Amazing Arizona Comic Con])
We had our second convention! (May – [Phoenix Comic Con])
I [lost my artist]!
I went to [San Diego Comic Con] (July)!
I had a [mid-life crisis] at 23! Let’s be honest, at this rate I won’t make it past 46.
I had my [wisdom teeth] removed!
I reached a whole new audience with this [Depression comic] and this other [Dealing with Depression comic]. It has given me this strange sense of responsibility I am still trying to process.
IDK Survived its [2^nd birthday]!
And more recently, I had lunch with a real, live IDK Fan!

Her name is Katie Hoy and she came all the way from Missouri! She was in Arizona for other reasons, not just me, but still! And she totally brought me gifts!

Obviously, she's the one with the beard

That’s an Oscar Wilde action figure, a Pi-Pie Jigsaw Puzzle, and the Pi wrapping paper they came in! That’s also a comic/card she made for me!

Now to answer the question you’ve wanted to ask this whole time, if you want to have lunch with me you’ll have to enter the upcoming Have Lunch with IDK Comics Contest! Details below!

Just ask

Fine print: Participation may vary. Not available in all areas. May cause diarrhea of the mouth and anus.

But seriously. If you are a fan that lives in Phoenix and you want to talk about the comics, the business, or have me sign your (man)boobs, it can totally be arranged. For those of you that don’t live in AZ, there is hope! Sometimes I travel! I’ll be going to San Francisco, CA and Tucson, AZ this winter. For those of you outside the country, sorry! You’ll have to settle for a Skype conversation or kicking my ass at an iPhone game like Ethan from Australia.

Oh, and please don’t murder me? kthxbi!

I think I did pretty damn well for 2011. Now let’s see what I have in store for 2012!

Maybe a [shirt]?

I’m working on a test print of a book!

Working on new types of IDK merchandise!

Also I am working on new IDK Button designs and getting a new button machine/thingy!

I’m rewriting and compiling my short plays into a book for possible publication!

I’ll be back at [Phoenix Comic-Con]! If you live in Arizona, keep an eye out for my [commercials]!

2012 is sizing up to be an exciting year! Are you along for the ride?

Happy New Year!

-Will

IDK’s 2nd Birthday!

by Hightower on December 1, 2011 at 11:49 am

Wowza! IDK made it all the way to 2 years? Even with all the domestic violence, suicide attempts, abusive relationships, and unfortunate events. He is one (un)lucky puzzle piece!

As my gift to you, I will show you this paper I found in the street!

Let me try to translate some of what it says here for you with some of my comments in parentheses:

Tyler Veitch & His Father:

From the Words of Anthony…

Flippos shaddow
Piggy
The Veitch knows
Tittyboy (an insult in grade school, a nickname in college)
Treasure hunter
Pool MAN
Spicy4life
Addict. (period!)
Crackhead
DaVeithci the genus (ironic spelling?)
Always right
Kyle sleepover jerk circle (I remember that night! Everyone grab to your left!)
Picked butthole and smelled it (why is this frowned upon?)
Attracted to Flippos earhole (wait, that’s not normal?)
Good wide receiver (One redeeming quality, good at sports!

Treasure hunter
Geneus (another spelling!)
Pool MAN
Rockstar
Producer
Scientist
All star runner
Ladies man
Superman
Mechanic
Gamer
Computer wiz
Pirate
Gangstah (Dude has a lot of jobs. But it’s what you have to do in this 99% economy)
Best at bonding (is this a chemistry joke?)

Pictures:

Warrior of Light (Final Fantasy?)

Picture of Tyler Veitch saying, “I’m the chosen one my dad says” (Jewish?)

Gold

City of gold (…So yeah, Jewish)

Picture of pirate saying, “I’m a pirate : – )”

On the back it says:

If Tyler rips he owes me $10.

dance (also a penalty)

Well, since I have it in once piece it looks like Tyler is safe for now. Until I rip it and that poor kid owes IDK $10! Sucka!

As a gift to myself, I bought Axe Cop Munchkin!

If you want to give IDK a birthday gift you can do it here!

Well, I am seriously surprised that IDK has made the 2-year mark and I can honestly say it is because of my awesome readers! And depression. And childhood trauma. And girls. And caffeine. And Cierra Wiley. And more girls. And suicide. And my inability to quit things that cause me emotional, mental or physical pain, discomfort, or torment.

Either way, thank YOU for an amazing, awkward, and abusive 2 years!

-Will
