SW10/WWW/PRECOG: Powernaut Coming Attractions 2024!

[Scott Eiler]

After completing four consecutive weekly comics, it seems I'm still 
happy to work on Powernaut Comics.  Having nothing in my schedule, I've 
been working on some infrastructure.

(1) I've trained Powernaut Comic pages going forward, to get their links 
to other Powernaut Comics from one source.  So as I prepare a page for a 
new story, it and the main page can display the links to all my most 
recent stories up through story year 1995 - and vice versa.  Old stories 
will be retrofitted later, whenever I'm editing those stories anyway.

(2) The next story year will build comics out of modular blocks.  I'll 
pile them on top of each other to build a daily-style comic (about three 
panels), Sunday-style (about six, or current Powernaut style), or 
old-style epic (about twelve, or Powernaut 1912 style).  I might need 
all of those formats for my next story...

(3) World's Fair 2024!
     -  For the first time since Powernaut 2011, I am working on a story 
sometime even *close* to the year it takes place.  And I had to work 
hard at the end of 2012 to make even *that* happen - but here we are in 
January of the right year for once!
     -  So I can show how wonderful the future world of 2024 could be - 
and take advantage of new public domain characters.  Also, it's a 
ten-year reunion for the Power School Class of 2014!  But factions from 
beyond might be interested...  New character alert!  With modular 
components, this could all take place in very small chunks.

(4) While I spew out some 2024 chunks, I have two more 1990s 
mega-stories on the scale of Maximum Extremity to handle sometime. 
After *that*, it's down to whatever unpublished stories I might select 
from Powernaut history.  Maybe the world needs the Powernaut as Dick 
Tracy...  Yay, Powernaut!
