Aaaand its here! My first actual comic in the "Whatever Happened to Madison Avenue?" series! Heck, may be my first serious comic ever…

ANYWAYS, I'll put the story description up right down here– Oh, and whenever I can direct it as an animated film, it'll be a musical (hence the last pannel)

Enjoy!

Story:
3 con artists collaborate to make a big heist– many years from now, in the future. Anyway, If youve ever seen Oceans 11, this will be a bit easier to understand… they alarm the guy they're robbing the loot from, and he, (afraid and thinking someone is about to try and steal it) calls the police to come retrieve all his loot, and store it in their valuts till he can figure out whats going on. They then intercept the call and send a fake team of police officers to pick up the loot– the victim never suspecting a thing about the team retrieving it all.

Then however, after that, the plan is to get out of town and lay low for a while. Problem is, they're using a real police cablecar, and when they think its just going to be a quiet day, no big on screen orders, the work shifts of all the police squads suddenly are changed, and the car they are in is ordered by microchip to take them away from the teams safe house, and to their new "shift"–in the most deadly part of the cities underworld. There, they loose the loot, where it is retrieved by a gang leader.

The shift they are on lasts 5 days, with a small police headquarters where they sleep, get food etc… If the team wants to look proffesional and not attract attention, they must be ready to go with the money within those 5 days– giving them 5 days to hatch a plan to get it back.

By the way, you can check out my deviantart account for character sketches and the like– I'll post it right here:
