Interesting story MJG! I enjoyed reading it – very imaginative. It evoked very vivid images of stickmen in the land of the Nowhere Man from the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine film.

Leongsoon- Thanks, and it’s an interesting point about there not being much of this sort of thing in written fiction before. Perhaps the novel ‘Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions’ by an 1884 mathematician would qualify- adventures in a 2D world.

Interacting with stick figures is a concept I’ve seen in some games and flash movies, but never in a story, until now. All I have to say is wow! Pencil stick man, crayon monster, jumping in and out of papers, man, you really used the whole concept very well; the exploration of the possibilities are enough to trigger the imagination, and I still find it all very believable! Very enjoyable story!

Hey David- ‘requisite MJG blood-letting’, I like it . It is a feature of my writing I guess. I’m working on a novel now in which the protagonist is constantly getting beaten up. Su Young (my girlfriend) is always telling me- ‘don’t hurt him anymore!’

Whimsical, with the requisite MJG blood-letting. A fun read. Thanks for posting.
