My friend Earl is experiencing undisclosed problems with his computer. My wife and I tried to cheer him up by writing a short, goofy fairytale about the little bits of data that live in his computer. We called it "The Story Of Earl, His Computer, Prince Protonius, and The Mayor's Daughter Tronica". It's basically a boson-meets-electron story, where they live together happily forever after, or for the next quadrilliflop cycle, whichever occurs first.
The glowing stuff was hard to draw, or at least to make it come out the way I want it to. In a way, I prefer the sketchbook version because there's less visual clutter, but then the lovers don't look so ethereal.
