Dwight Schrute: Intergalactic Assitant to the District Manager

So last Saturday, Rainn Wilson was on SNL, which I watch pretty faithfully. That night I actually had dreams about character design ( I had played with Captain Capitalism designs all evening, trying to take some things from the Stephen Silver designs, but still keep it in the world...I'll probably blog about this seperately one day).

I guess my day's experience welded together in the land of make-believe and I was doing Dwight Schrute designs in my dream.

So to warm up on Sunday morning, before digging into Captain Capitalism, I tried to draw a Dwight Schrute. Funny thing is, as I was drawing it, I was thinking about the plot line. Something corny like bad 70's/80's cartoons. Dunder Mifflin gets a shipment mix-up with a mad scientist who mail ordered a worm hole machine. Dwight accidentally uses the machine to make copies, but makes a worm hole instead and gets zapped into outerspace in the future. But since Dwight is 100% full-blooded middle-management material, he is quickly hired by an alien conglomerate corporation as "Intergalactic regional manager"- but in space business is deadly, and Dwight gets into zany situations. Sounds totally plausible in the world of Harlem Globetrotter cartoons and Far Out Space Nuts. I think he should have a cute character that does cute babbeling...and Dwight loathes him.

I'd watch it. Would you?
