The Pete and Karl Show

The Pete and Karl Show (better known as T-PAKS) is an ongoing experiment in high-energy literature conducted by Karl Jones and [REDACTED].

History

Early theoretical models of T-PAKS emerged in the 2018-2019 era.

Rapid quantum-semiotic advances in 2020 lead to the discovery of the first T-PAKS Gnomon algorithm on the afternoon of Monday, 30 November 2020, during a conversation (voice only) between Karl Jones and [REDACTED].

Episodes

For convenience, episodes are arranged by funding potention in present-moment Euclidean space. (TO_DO: convert into Transdimensional Corporation functions.)

Patreon

Patreon subscribers pay small amounts monthly for recurring content

• Comic strip -
  • Gnomon Chronicles - mix of history and crazy fiction
  • On This Day in History - straight up true history, no crazy, but to be re-used in the Chronicles
  • "Golden Illustrated History" - like "On This Day in History", but more story-telling style, like Golden Illustrated comics
    • Example: Devouring prehistoric salamander with relish (nonfiction)

Gnomon Chronicles to illustrate

Here are some of my favorite Chronicles which need iconic illustrations:

• Star Trek: Forbidden Episodes - logo; display text; scenes from episodes
• Cthulhu at the Movies - logo
• 1943 Eleanor Roosevelt dime - illustration, both sides
• Scrimshaw abuse - scene of degenerate scrimshander
• SS Minnow (TV series) - scenes, story ideas, spinoff shows, pseudo-merchandise
• Bulky and Hoodwinkle - KKK parody in the style of Rocky and Bullwinkle - Bulky is a big thug, Hoodwinkle wears the white robe and hood
• Bless the Beasts and Wild Things - mashup "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Bless the Beasts and the Children"

Kickstarter

Kickstarter subscribers put larger amounts in escrow to fund a finished project
