So this is the idea I can't shake for the last couple of weeks. In the world that exists inside my head, this will be a hit comic book or cartoon series, eventually branching out into action figures and t-shirts, netting me millions upon millions of dollars.
Input and feeback is welcome. If you dislike things scatalogical, then skip this thread, though it's rather tame in my book.
Hu Flung Pu is the name of the central character and the title of the show. Hu Flung Pu is a monkey that flings his poo and is trained in the martial arts. He's in the 8th grade, and he's deadly with his paws, feet, tail, and wads of poo.
His nemesis is Mr. Chopstix, the school's principal, though HFP and his buddies don't know this at first. Mr. Chopstix can snatch HFP's poo from the air with his Deadly Chopstix. He likes to say, "Mr. Chopstix, coming for you, in the middle of the night." It'd be funny if you heard me do the voice, maybe. He crescendos as he says it.
As for other characters, I haven't fleshed them out much. There's Ody. He's never at school. When someone asks about him, Hu Flung Pu will answer, "Who knows? He's always off on some adventure." There will be a female figure who is Ody's girlfriend--she is very cute and all the boys want to date her, but she waits patiently for Ody to return. Every two or three episodes, there will be an Ody interlude where his adventures play out.
Then there's Little Ugly. I'd like him to be an exercise in irony. One idea is that he's little but he's not ugly. He's squat but kind of handsome. He will wear glasses. It's obvious that despite his awkwardness and reputation for being ugly, one day he'll be a looker. But people still treat him like he's ugly. He'll be small but have a deep voice. Another idea is to make him butt ugly, just hideous, paper bag ugly.
Then there's Fo Fo. I don't have any background for him.
I need a techno character, someone skilled with computers. Eventually this character's hacking, or some other moment of enlightenment, will reveal Mr. Chopstix's identity.
The assistant principal will also be a villain, subordinate to Mr. C. I don't have a name for her yet. There will be regular insinuations among students about the relationship between the two administrators.
The school needs a good name.
Hu Flung Poo and Mr. Chopstix will do battle on occasion at night, with HFP always interfering with Mr. C's plans. Mr. C will learn of HFP's secret identity before HFP's learns of Mr. C's. Things will get bad for HFP and his friends at school.
I think an Indian science teacher named Madam Curry.
And some ultra-rational character, maybe the techy, named Volt R or something.
And no, I don't have too much time on my hands. It's just that I have a lot of tedious work to do on my house and have to entertain my brain somehow during the mindless hours of scraping and glazing, scraping and glazing, scraping and glazing.

When you're a big hit, I hope you remember that I was the first person to post on your LO thread and tell you how huge a success you were going to be.
