Romeo’s Regret

by Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz on September 3, 2012 at 12:00 am

2012-09-03-Romeos-Regret

Commentary

And that’s the end of this chapter.  A Superkiller Rusalka Week Starts Next Week.

↓ Transcript
Single Frame
Tsar is standing in his fatigue and bullet proof vest holding a machine gun. His stance is confident.
Romeo as Narrator
Camello kept his oath. He proved his value to Nicotash and his worthiness as the future chieftain. He found worthy Rroma blood to marry. He helped raise two orphans and sired a son of his own. That last child proved that the Basma curse had been lifted. None of that mattered to the elders.

Camello was murdered on his wedding night, before birth of his Blood son. As far as the krisnitorya was concerned, my adopted son died a tainted gadje. I regret not standing up for Camello's family or his honor. Because of this injustice, all of Nicotash has been cursed. This wasn't a sad coincidence either. Camello's death was entirely political and, it was my daughter who orchestrated it.

Stories Left Behind

2012-08-20-Stories-Left-Behind

Commentary

Wow, Camello is kind of a bummer.  Holy cats! Tatiana with short hair, a husband, assault weapons and an army uniform? This is quite the departure from her typical barmaid persona, even if she’s still expelled from Nicotash.  What prompted this change?

↓ Transcript
FRAME 1
Virigina's eyes narrow with indignation.

Virginia To Camello and Romeo
Romeo, Camello; please don't discuss such adult topics in front of young ears. The book was obscene enough.

FRAME 2
Camello holds his adoptive son, Cain and gives his aunt a forlorn and frustrated stare.

Camello To Virginia
Aunt Virginia, I understand your offense, but this is who I am.

FRAME 3
Closeup of a wide-eyed, confused and naive Cain as Camello speaks off scene.

Camello - Off scene To Virginia
My words, for better or for worse, are all my children will have left of me when I die.

FRAME 4
In the foreground, Tatiana the barmaid stands holding a machine gun, and wearing military fatigues. The flirtatiousness of earlier years has been replaced with a cold fierceness. Her lovely round face is now scarred. She glances back at Camello and his family somewhat resentfully as she fulfills her duties as a bodyguard. Camello and his uncle are seen from the back, sitting on a couch. Virginia is standing and her body language expresses a sense of delight, along with the smile on her face.

Camello To Virginia
I don't want to take about that though. I'm marrying my best bodyguard later today.
Virginia To Camello
Ah! No more curse.

FRAME 5
Romeo grimaces judgmentally with wide eyes directed at Camello. Camello frowns at his uncle as Cain gets a hug.

Romeo To Camello
You're marrying Tatiana, the slutty Rakli ex-barmaid?
Camello To Romeo
Lord no! That would be political suicide. Beside, Tits is already married.

FRAME 6
Romeo stares vacantly into space, in utter shock.

Narrator To audience
Rakli: Gadje Woman

Dumping Lucky

by Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz on August 13, 2012 at 12:00 am

2012-08-13-Dumping-Lucky

Commentary

It appears that Camello and Lucky had already called it quits before the murder. If that’s true, why did ghost Camello have an outburst about lost love earlier in the story? Was Camello really still in love with Lucky beyond just caring? Did this incident reflect something else? And, what’s this about Camello having kids? Oh boy.

↓ Transcript
Frame 1
Closeup of Romeo.

Romeo to Camello
For how long were you involved with a Bahktale Vasquez?

Frame 2
Camello is holding Cain and smiling softly.

Camello to Romeo
I was almost 19 when God answered my desperate prayers, so a little over half a decade.

Frame 3
Camello expression betrays unease as his eyelids and the edges of his lips slightly move down.

Camello to Romeo
It's a pity that he so bad for me, politically and emotionally. I still care for him.

Frame 4
Camello all regains his composure and smiles again. He looks down affectionately upon his adoptive son, chain. The young child is wearing a light blue shirt that matches his eyes. His hair is dirty blond. Camello points at him with fingers covered in rings.

Camello to Romeo
But, my duties and my kids come first.

End Of Story Followed By A Review

by Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz on August 6, 2012 at 12:05 am

comic-2012-08-06-End-of-Story.jpg

Commentary

If you’ve been following Rasputin Barxotka for any length of time, you’ll know which statement is the lie.  I was originally going to end this chapter here, but I decided to add a few more pages.  Why?  Because I can.  On another note, if you’re wondering what Camello and Lucky did after the trial, you might want to check this guest comic out.

Need Inspiration?

Seriously, read the autobiography of Nick “Superdude” Dupree right now.  This guy seriously rocks!  While you are at it, check out his webcomics.

Need Some Amusement?

Lucky is the protagonist of Rasputin Barxotka and my brainchild. Oddly enough, he is also one of the characters I despise the most in the series. Inspired by Meow, and to perhaps gain some empathy for my character and some understanding as well, I decided to do Amber Neely’s Character Age Meme.

I find it fascinating that the only portrait in which Lucky is smiling happens to be age five. He just does not seem like a happy guy. Another thing that surprised me was how ridiculously gorgeous he was once he hit puberty — especially when he was an aspirant at Intelligence Training School at age 17.  That probably explains how he developed his knack for scoring with people who seem to be way out of his league. It’s too bad he let himself go in his mid-twenties when he ended up being an irrigation supervisor instead of a fancy KGB officer.

Lucky Aging

FRAME 6
The scene changes to the present. Camello and Romeo are listening to Virginia read in a purple living room. A disgusted Virginia is holding a yellow book and the two men can only be seen from the back. Presumably they are sitting. She is wearing a purple shirt and matching flowered skirt. Both Camello and Romeo are wearing full-brimmed hats. Camello hair is shoulder length, and he's also wearing a leather jacket. Romeo is wearing a new toupe, a dark blue vest and light blue shirt.

Virginia Reading Camello's Book
...and, that was why I told my first and only lie.
Camello To Romeo and Virginia
Auntie, uncle; how did you like my book?
Romeo To self

A Knife For Dishonor

by Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz on July 23, 2012 at 12:00 am

2012-07-23-A-Knife-For-Dishonor-1

Commentary

The fact that Romeo is aiming to kill Bahktale in front of his father’s fresh corpse while calling him Gadje, is probably the most degrading and possibly most dangerous insult that he can hurl at Bahktale’s entire family tree.  With his actions, Romeo is saying that Lucky and his ancestors aren’t worthy of their own Roma blood.

↓ Transcript
Frame 1
Romeo noisily slams Lucky's head against a meeting room table. He holds a switchblade with his other hand.

Romeo to Lucky
I cannot believe I was scammed into marrying my daughter off to a sick and degenerate Gadje like you !!!

Frame 2
Romeo lifts Lucky by the hair. Lucky grimaces and seems pained and confused.

Romeo to Lucky
You will burn in hell with your father!
Lucky to Romeo
Why did you call me a gadje, Romeo?

Frame 3
Closeup of Romeo

Romeo to Lucky
How old was Camello when you first defiled him?

Frame 4
Still being held by the hair, lucky scrunches his face and clenches his teeth.

Lucky to Romeo
What are you talking about? How am I gadje?

Frame 5
Romeo pulls his knife up to Lucky's throat. Lucky face turns from confusion to rage.

Lucky to Romeo
Jesus Christ!!! Romeo, this is a really bad idea.
