Sometimes, you have to sacrifice pieces to gain the advantage. Sometimes, to advance ... you have to fall back.

Arizona Chess [Explained]

Transcript

[White Hat and Cueball are sitting across from each other playing chess. The time, shown above them in white on a black screen, reads 6:35 for White Hat, and 0:28 for Cueball.] White Hat: It’s late, I’m up a pawn, and you’re out of time. It’s over. Cueball: Ah, you’re forgetting something.

[Cueball gestures with one hand above the chessboard. His time now reads 0:19.] Cueball: Did you know this building straddles the Arizona border? Cueball: It actually runs right through the table. You're on the Arizona side.

[Cueball raises his hand further to gesture at his time. It beeps and is now blank and white.] Cueball: This tournament started Saturday, November 2nd. Now it's almost 2AM on the 3rd. Cueball: And there's something you should know about Arizona. Chess clock: BEEP

[White Hat raises his head slightly to look at the timer. Cueball's time now reads 60:07. Cueball lowers his hand to make a move.] White Hat: What?! No! That's not how... No!! Cueball: Looks like it's daylight slaying time.

Breathtaking

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

Kedging Cannon [Explained]

Transcript

[A two-masted sailing ship with its sails up is floating on a calm sea with tiny waves. Two tiny figures can be seen at the ship's bow. One of them is speaking. In the next panel it becomes clear this is the captain.] Captain: I hope someday someone invents a way to sail upwind. Captain: Using the kedging cannon just wastes so much gunpowder.

[Close-up on the deck of the ship, showing two persons behind the taffrail. Cueball is standing behind the ship's captain and talking to him. The captain is wearing a black bicorne navy hat and aiming a cannon containing an anchor forward. Chains are draped from the cannon.] Cueball: The what? Cueball: Wait, do you not know how to sail upwind? Is that why your ship takes forever to-- Captain: Stand by...Fire!

[Distant shot showing the anchor and its chain being launched out in front of the ship, towards the right of the panel. Cueball and the Captain can still be seen behind the cannon. The cannon has exhaust fumes coming out in front and the sound it makes is indicated:] Cannon: Boom

[Same setting but the anchor is now under water and the chain has become taut as the ship is dragged forward to the right. Movement lines behind the ship indicated its progress and it is also further into the frame than the previous panel. The movement is caused by pulling the chain back in on the ship. This produces a series of sounds:] Dragging chain: Click click click
