The Evil Onion, revisited

Evil OnionSo I’ve been struggling with what to do with the onion – where do we find the onion, 12 years down the line? Is he still in the suburbs (the most foul and evil place on earth)? Has he turned a new leaf?  Given up on his evil ways? Did he turn that leaf back over and go back to being evil? Is there a Mrs. Onion?  Does he work in IT?  Twelve years later, have his hopes and aspirations been fulfilled?

Fade in, our onion, now an elder statesman in his oniony community, his comfortable life ensured by his misdeeds throughout the years. No.  That won’t work.  Maybe he’s like other cartoon characters, never aging?

Fade in, the onion sits at a desk. There are posters on the wall behind him, calling for donations, onions smile down from these posters.  He’s working for some kind of charity… but what kind?

More later. I think I have the beginnings of a new cartoon finally…

By the way, I have no idea why I gave him fangs. I am however still certain that onions make lousy neighbors.
