Images don't work for you?

Read my attempt at verbalizing the story.

A poorly drawn gray squirrel, Smooshy, stands with a jar of pickles. Smooshy says, "Welcome to Smooshy's Pickles, a comic about Smooshy's Pickles, brought to you by Smooshy's Pickles." Monkeylynn (a cute little brown monkey) says, "What are you doing, Smooshy?" Smooshy says, "I'm launching the comic!" Monkeylynn says, "Okay, first of all, this is going to be called Mooshy & Co. We talked about this." Smooshy says, "This is marketing, Monkeylynn. You don't understand the importance of product placement." Monkeylynn says, "Hmm... Whatever. We're also not ready to launch. We haven't figured out how to draw ourselves very well... look at us... and we don't have a backlog of story lines ready..." Smooshy says, "You can't wait until you're ready. You'll never do anything that way. We've got to get out there and sell some pickles!" Text overlay says, "Smooshy's Pickles, they're the smooshiest."

Monkeylynn (pointing to a random box in middle of page) says, 'You don't even know how to use this comic drawing program.' Smooshy saya, 'Says you.' Monkeylynn says, 'Okay, than delete this box, since you know how to do everything.' Smooshy says, 'I don't want to. I like it. I put it there on purpose.' Monkeylynn (head in hands), sighs. Monkeylynn says, 'I suppose we're already getting drawn a little better. I have eyebrows now.' Smooshy says, 'Awesome. Let's do the introductions then.' He continues, 'This is my cousin, Mooshy Misha Mooshovitz. Mooshy is a manager down at the acorn warehouse in Cheesman park.' Mooshy (a red squirrel who seems a little surprised by this interaction) says, 'Uh. Hey cuz. I thought we weren't quite ready to start this thing yet? Smooshy says, 'Carpe diem.' Mooshy says, 'I see.'

Now we're looking at Monkeylynn. Smooshy says, 'You've met Monkeylynn. Her job is picking colors for logos, I think. I don't think she likes my drawings.' Monkeylynn says, 'I'm a designer at an agency, Smooshy. You know this.' Smooshy says, 'She is Mooshy's partner.' Now there is Marshmallow. She looks mostly like a squirrel, but she has Monkeylynn's ears. Smooshy says, 'This is Marshmallow, my favorite (only) niece. She is a monkey squirrel, not a squirrel monkey. Important distinction.' Marshmallow says, 'Sup.' Smooshy says, 'And I'm Smooshy Smisha Smooshovitz, President and Lead Pickle Developer at Smooshy's Pickles. I'm a gray squirrel if you didn't pick up on that. I'm an entrepreneur and it's my vision and get-it-done philosophy that keeps this family together. Thanks for meeting the gang. We look forward to a long and profitable business relationship. Buy Smooshy's Pickles. They're the smooshiest.
