five years have passed since the world faced the global crisis that is COVID-19. what followed was a period of unprecedented times that shaped the course of our history at the dawn of a new decade.
and then there’s alex.
this is clipshow.
clipshow is the daily gag comic of the COVID era. it mainly concerns the life of a 10th grader named alex, as well as his smartmouthed sub-conscience, charlie. together, they storm a frozen world put on pause, ready to take things head on…just give them some time.
alex is a neurotic 10th grader whose passion is in the right place, but his head might be the opposite. fresh off of therapy, he’s already looking to forge his path to his future. the problem, however, is finding a way how.
charlie is the strictly imaginary yet ever so trusty sub-conscience of poor alex. call them a smartass all you want, but they’re gonna be here for a while. but there’s more to this family than just alex and his new hubby, however.
first there’s barbara, alex’s stern older sister who he can always count on. his mom, margaret, is a hard worker who may or may not be scrolling right now. finally his dear old dad, brandon, who’s just one step away from back ordering the next stock of toilet paper. (god help him.)
along this cast is alex’s lifelong friends, rahul and quinn. you won’t see them too much, but they’ll always be around somewhere.
i’m shooting for spring 2025 to start pushing this out. this has been a while in the making. and while it might not be the most detailed look back, it’s probably the most personal. and i bet some of you know exactly where you were five years ago.
stay tuned. clipshow.neocities.org
