Skeletor's Pal: A Masters of the Universe comic story!

It's time for another full-length MOTU comic story created with action figures! First, a bit of background. As some of you may recall, I used to do these about fifteen years ago. Sadly, nearly all of those are no longer available to read online. (The photos were atrocious anyway, due to the low-grade digital camera I was stuck with at the time. The one on a typical phone these days is about a thousand times better!) As part of my return to telling goofy stories in that format, I wanted to do new versions of those old tales. This is proving to be far more difficult for some than others, as the scripts and original photos were lost about a decade ago when the hard drive in the PC I'd been using for years suddenly went kaput. So, for most of these old stories, I'm having to reconstruct them from memory, and I recall some of them better than others.

Fortunately, the tale I'm sharing with you today was one of the most popular at the time, and I remembered it quite clearly. The basic story is exactly the same, but the dialogue and many of the jokes have been tweaked and punched up a bit. All of the photos are newly taken too, of course. (Do keep in mind, however, that I had to use a different room to take these photos, and the lighting was nowhere near as good as my usual space. The photos suffered a bit for that. I'll be sure to go back to my old setup for the next one.) Think of this as the "special edition" of that older tale. Enjoy!
