You know what I regret?  My own lack of artistic talent.  As I'm brainstorming for Earth Fathers are Weird, I keep thinking how awesome this would be as a comic book.  But I have zero talent at drawing.  Sometimes the muse is like that; she leads me out on a limb and then laughs uproariously as I get stuck like a kitten up a tree.  She's a real bitch.

Yep. A toast for all those times you can see it all in your head perfectly and realize you can spend six pages trying to convey what's in that picture and then realize you can't draw worth a damn. Cheers

You could take an old famous painting that’s out of copyright and has a mother and child or father and child and just replace the child with a tentacle monster!! :p

No, I want the whole comic book. I can imagine it... the panels showing the alien ship clipping a jet. The hero standing with a befuddled look on his face surrounded by weird aliens. The wide eyed look of alarm during the tentacle alien's suitability check up/ prostate exam. I can see it in my head, but I don't have the artistic talent to pull that off

Could you team up with an artist? Neil Gaiman can't draw either, but his Sandman is legendary. [Note: this is a suggestion against my self-interest. I've only ever read three graphic novels since giving up Archie comics. Oh, and a minor fascination with romance comics I found at the antique store decades ago. I want to read this book!]
