Horn Dog: Technidiot (XtraNormal)
Episode II of my XtraNormal series, "The Paragon."
Muffy, team captain to The Paragon, confronts Horn Dog after he misses the rescheduled team meeting. Horn Dog apparently has trouble with modern technology. Anyone who met Horn Dog in Episode I ("Horn Puppy & Crew Cuts") will have no trouble believing this.

Dear creators and writers of "Archer,"
Please feel free to find these episodes so uncontrollably hilarious that you contact me at bottomoftheglass@gmail.com and ask me if I would be interested in writing with you. Or, better, creating a show that came on after "Archer." Peace out, hippie.

XtraNormal Fiction: Episode One
Arwen (Acoustic) - Sam Gray (mp3)
Humdrum - Pallers (mp3)
My first series on XtraNormal went to the heart of the issue: the absurdities of groupthink in a school environment. While inspired directly by my experiences at my own job, by the people who surround me every day, it wasn't so much intended as a slam on them as it was on the way educators and administrators are in general.
However, when I showed off my creations to friends and spouse, the resounding response I got was: "You'd best not let these get out. It would be bad for you, professionally speaking." Well, I can ignore one voice, but ignoring five or six is a different story.
So I went back to the drawing board. Rather than creating characters who were mash-ups of several people I knew from work* talking in a school environment, I added one extra degree of separation. Rather than seeing the absurdities of school through the administrators and teachers, I decided to reveal it through the parents. And, just in case it still hit too close to home, I made the parents superheroes.
Yes, this has sorta already been done by The Incredibles, but not like this.
The group is named The Paragon after a supergroup a friend and I invented in the '80s. So far, my characters are Horn Dog, Bowie, and Muffy. Horn Dog is the father to Horn Puppy, the freshman high school student at a local private school. Bowie is the single bachelor with a British accent and a mullet (translate: you just know he gets laid). And Muffy is the S&M ripoff who has ascended to the elected role of group leader.
Enough talk. Here's Episode 1.
