Rusty Patti – The Reboot

As threatened promised, the Rusty Patti comic is being rebooted. But before I chuck all canon out the window, I’m re-posting the comics as originally posted on LezBang.



Why re-post the originals?



Why not just jump into the reboot since everything we’ve known is about to be booted in the reboot anyway? I’ve had several stories and new characters rattling around in my brain pan for a while but I’m stuck. My hope is that going through the old stuff will help me flesh out the new stories. And though you won’t need read the originals to follow the new stories, some readers might be interested in the progression in style as I learned more about comics and found new software and fonts to abuse incorporate.



Along with the comics, I’ve rescued some of the reader comments from the original blogs. Some of them were just too good to lose into the ether once the site went dark. On the one hand, I’m grateful to the readers for helping move the story along. On the other hand, I let myself get tied to other people’s ideas instead of working harder on my own.



So a look back before we jettison the whole dang thing and start over. We'll start with the blog that introduced Rusty Patti - lesbian action hero to the world and put out a call for help with a tagline.

Rusty Patti - When Mediocre Just Isn't Good Enough.

So, what do you think of the tagline*?

It doesn't set the bar too high and that's important. Under-promise and over-deliver will never get you in trouble. I’m new at this and let's face it I’m getting into the game when Xena and Wonder Woman would think about getting out. And so far no super powers. Of course, you never know what might happen with that (deus ex machine, my friend).

But the tag also makes it clear that help from Rusty Patti is better than doing nothing at all.

If you have a better tag line, please let me know.

In other news, the job description for sidekick is almost finished so you might want to start polishing up your resumes.

And finally, I did get some good news. I inked the deal for my first endorsement.

*When I first posted this on LezBang there was a heated discussion about the crappiness of the tagline. Neo was especially disturbed by the lack of confidence it displayed. LezBangers posted dozens of excellent suggestions including, "Hold my glock while I adjust my tie" (Rach) and "Whoop Ass Included" (Westie).
