REJECTED PITCHES: COLA WARZ
Comic production has been down the last few year's because I keep getting opportunities to pitch to animation studios. Here is the first in a series of REJECTED PITCHES as I clear the decks to make more comics: Your loss Warner Bros. Discovery. COLA WARZ - rejected science-fiction animation mini-series from a little over a year ago. What if instead of advancements in artificial intelligence (A.I.), civilization was being rapidly reshaped by advancements in artificial flavors (A.F.).
The year is 2026. A series of breakthroughs in synthetic beverage ingredients have resulted in cola flavors so precisely calibrated that everyone on earth has sworn allegiance to the crisp, refreshing taste of either Quasar or Bop Pop Cola. New formulas are so tasty that within weeks, each company has amassed enough market share and cult-like brand allegiance to supplant all other corporations, governments, and religion. Reality is warping in the image of the rival soda companies.
Honestly, not the proudest of this because I wrote it with the idea that it would be what they’re looking for rather than what I wanted to make… since 12 of those got rejected. Glad to have that impulse out of my system. #rejectedpitches #cokezero
