Cart Before the Horse
Don't put the cart before the horse. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Don't build a website for something that doesn't exist yet.
It’s the Beginning of a Great Adventure
There is a reason so many idioms advise against doing something before you’re reasonably sure you should. It’s because it’s generally a bad idea. Why invest the time, money, and effort into something that isn’t a real thing–a certifiable step down from a sure thing? Perhaps there is something to be said about willing a thing into existence.
Cereal Killer Media is in the process of being willed into existence. The ideas exist, the execution is a work in progress, and the products are TBD. With all that said, we are putting the cart before the horse. Horses are stupid anyway.
Plus, we’ve been sitting on the domain name for years, so why not?
It’s a weird step to take though. What began as a fun way to spend a Thursday night eventually turned into something we felt confident enough to pursue. We went from plotting out convoluted, and, frankly, nonsensical plots to writing scenes with the sole purpose of making each other laugh. Those scenes started to build on each other, and before we knew it, we had an entire story arc outlined for what would become the Harpe Brothers.
It was a far cry from the original concept we came up with all those years ago. Namely, it told an actual story. We’ve since spent years refining that script and putting art to the words, all while discussing future plans for those loveable, psychotic scamps.
The Harpe Brothers isn’t the only thing we’re working on. There are plenty of other delicious marshmallows floating in the bowl over at Cereal Killer Media. Just be patient, dear reader.
It’s going to be an exciting year and we’re glad to have this website to record our journey. This blog probably won’t receive regular updates. It will be interesting to see the time elapsed between the publication of this article and the hopeful publication of the Harpe Brothers. Issue one is nearly fully penciled, so it should only be a matter of time.
If for nothing else, this website exists as proof to ourselves that we’re cereal in our pursuits. This isn’t a notebook filled with scribbles and doodles. It’s an online presence that the entire world has access to. It’s something to hold our feet to the fire. Anyone could stumble upon this (they won’t) and start asking questions.
Suddenly, Cereal Killer Media is a real thing. So put down that knife, grab a spoon, and dig into all the fun Cereal Killer Media has to offer.
