One of the difficulties of doing a weekly strip is making yourself stay consistent, so in order to help with THAT I’ve been drawing maps. Just rough maps of locations we’ll see on the regular (or maybe just the once…) Here’s the Macintosh general area (some names here may change – actually the whole map may change as the stories need arise… take this as a map someone who once visited the area drew but they’ve probably put somethings in the wrong place…)
The whole thing is based on hazy memories of Newcastle in Northern Ireland, imagined locations and the name Black Skull mountains comes from me seeing the location “Black Skull” in Northern Ireland, which is the name of a tiny village (I leave googling the fascinatingly awful reason it’s called Black Skull as an exercise for the reader…)
The three mountain peaks came about because I wanted mountains on the badge, and … one was the Toblerone logo, two was Twin Peaks and that left three. So three it was.
