Sometimes genius happens in a toy store

So, I just wrote a story about a man and a robot. It is rad but it is not actually what I'm going to talk about. A couple days ago Keith and I went to Toronto to do our enrolment appointments at York University. It was pretty fun and I finally chose the courses I am taking (One of them is comics!). Since we had several hours until our train home was going to leave we decided to watch "Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay" and holy crap, I was surprised.

What I was expecting was a mildly funny stoner movie with a few boobies in it but overall something that you would leave the theatre and say, "Meh." Instead what I say was a super hilarious stoner movie that actually made me care for the characters. For a shitty comedy it was seriously well done. However, this is also not was I came here to talk about.

Anyways, after that Keith and I were wandering around and we entered a toy store. I heard Keith say, "Now that is what I would name a person." or something like that. I looked at what he was looking at and I found a box that said... Domino Trays. The he said, "Except it would be pronounced, Domino Tres." And thus our greatest character ever was born.

Domino friggin Tres

He's a crooked detective who plays by his own rules. We seriously began work on him right away. We have some great ideas for him and I just wanted to tell you guys where it all began. Anyways, if anymore news comes I'll be sure to post something here weeks after the fact.

You know, in hindsight, that story isn't very good.
