Pasha Noize Cartoon

A little silliness... Gary Sullivan asked me to write a poem for him to turn into a comic... so I did, a quatrain thing that sort of riffs off of this "Pasha Noise" character I've been using in another poem (for some reason I have a "z" in this instead of an "s" dunno why. The poem also incorporates bits from my MS Word auto-condensation of Kenny Goldsmith's "Soliloquy" and other little chunks of digital detritus to break (I thought) the narrative momentum, but it's interesting to see how Gary attempted to preserve what he could. The colab definitely not the New York School -- it'll probably be quite baffling in the end -- but here's the first page... I think it will be about 4 pages in all. Gary's images are based on a children's book retelling of the Marco Polo story, though of course it has that air of Bollywood about it (not to mention Prince Valient). The big kiss is coming up shortly, stay tuned.
