So you clicked on this link in your news reader or followed it from twitter or are someone who visits our home page everyday. Maybe you even did some sort of search to get here. Whatever the mode of discovery, you’re here because you saw the title of this post and thought, “That makes a crazy kind of goddamn sense!”
And it does. The reason it does is because a continuation of the Twin Peaks saga could only be 100% faithful and non-contrived by doing it in a comic format (I guess an animation would work. Another week), where the writer and art team could pick up at the exact moment that season three, episode one would have. The characters would still look the same, Frank Silva would live on in caricature to give life to BOB (and Jack Nance for Pete Martell), and it could be a new medium for David Lynch to conquer.
[It has been pitched before for the DVD box set, but that idea didn't sound very good.]
There’s not much more that I can say other than that. It’s a damn good idea. It should be done. Send me my Brainstormers Consultant Fee.
Oh, I also did a little pretending and made a short comic. Enjoy (I hope). Click to enlarge.

So, who does the artwork for a Twin Peaks comic? Sam Keith? Bill Sienkiewicz?
I’m not that well versed. Someone who can do both dark and American pie. Dave McKean and Normal Rockwell.
You should do a quest Hypothetical Studio for the Sandman movie.
You have really gotta start spellchecking any and all proper names. I think you have some kind of enzyme deficiency… ’cause it’s getting embarrassing!
…unless Normal is an ironic name for the famous Rockwell’s deformed twin, who spent his life locked away from society for some hideous deformity.

The views and opinions expressed in this comment do not in any way reflect the actual opinion of its writer toward the target. She is merely grabbing the low-hanging fruit for cheap comedy that isn’t even that funny. Someone has to edit the editor now and then.)
Seriously though, you can’t go wrong with giants like Sam Kieth or Dave McKean, but I think this’d be a great way to get a new artist some exposure, because so many people would buy this, just because it’d be a Twin Peaks book. I know I would… unless it sucked.
I have never and will never spell check tweets or comments beyond a quick glance. Careless, but I have to have some personality.
Maybe I’m glad I haven’t seen comments from either of you lately in the Recaps… *snerk*
I don’t like it when Mommy and Daddy fight.
Don’t pretend that you don’t want to see error filled comments on your Current Affairs recaps.
Um…that’s “Cover—
Oh. I see what you did there.
I’ve had that pie. It’s tasty.
Damn my weak mind. Now I want some pie. Elwood, meet me in Portland and we’ll have key lime with a Tab. Or was it Mr. Pibb?
If that’s a “Twin Peaks” reference, I’m afraid I don’t get it. I’ve never watched it. :/
I do live 5 miles from the restaurant that was used in the show, and where the Cherry Pie and Damn Fine Cup of Coffee come from. I can vouch for the quality of both.
