Coatless Phossy

Hi guys! Hope you lot are doing okay today. :)
I managed to finish outlining one of my OverKill sketches (finally) so Imma' gonna post it before I forget because I have a real habit of doing that, it seems...


AND WHILE YOU'RE ALL HERE let's talk a little more about my boy Phossy, because otherwise I'm never gonna be able to put this all down and frankly this dude DESERVES some attention before you all wander off into the wild blue yonder or whatever.

This will only take 5 minutes of your day.
Maybe more, depending on how fast you read...

Okay, so for those that don't know or need a refresher, White Phosphorus is a very poisonous, highly flammable and self-igniting molecule that was once quite commonly used in matches around the 1800's.
Long story short, when people finally realized how bleedin' unsafe White Phosphorus was, Phossy went into HUGE state of grief, confusion, and depression, and just kinda hid himself in some abandoned warehouse until Lady Bee found him a few weeks later.

We're going to skip ahead a couple of hundred years and other stuff for the sake of keeping this short, but it's safe to say Phosphorus' never quite got over the shock of turning out to be one of the bigger threats to the human race, and is trying very hard to make it up to them by staying out of the way.

Eventually (after much more killing and deaths and stuff) Phosphorus was desperate enough to practically beg Dr. Antidote to get some sort of official decree to ban him from going into public areas and stuff. And as a result, he now lives in a high security lab under constant watch and guard and happily grows plants and stuff.
... More or less.
I'm still working on it, but that's the gist of it so far.

... On the plus side, the chances of being poisoned by White Phosphorus or getting Phossy Jaw nowadays are pretty much nil, so.. there's that.
Still no common cure, though.

  1. Aww, this "very poisonous, highly flammable and self-igniting molecule" character of yours looks so cute! :'D (haha) I love his facial expression. So does that mean Phossy lives in total isolation and has the security watch him? Sounds lonely, but at least that's what he wanted (right?). Aww haha, he's also a gardener? Cute. :)

    1. Yup. Although, the security guards don't have to worry about Phossy that much; so long as he doesn't accidentally set himself on fire or explode, they can pretty much ignore him all day! :)

      And you're right about Phossy being lonely; if it wasn't for Lady Bee and Tracy (and Dr. Antidote... kinda), he'd have probably gone completely insane.
      ... But as it is, he's just incompetent and naive. XD
