season one

At this point, I had been doing the journal comics for a long time and was itching to tell a longer story.  Not that I had anything in particular in mind, but I didn't get into this to be Gary Larson. 

A long time ago I had an idea about a character who would be a god who walked among men.  I wanted to call him "Paul", as an alternative to Agamennon or something weighty like that. 

Anyway, Paul could open this portal in mid-air and throw stuff in it.  Like people.  Then simply close it behind them.  Nobody knew where it would lead, and that would make Paul a judge/jury/executioner in a sense.  Society, religion, government, and everybody else would freak out if someone could actually do this. 

After a couple of attempts to introduce Paul, I never could get the character right.  So he has a brief appearance at the beginning as MV's couch mate, but I ended up giving the power to MV. 

So this first ongoing storyline ran from July to October of 2007.  Then I stopped.  I didn't know what I was doing and just walked away for a bit. 

In August of 2008, I returned to finish the story.
