Film students everywhere just got tingles on the back of their neck. Just need a catchy title and name for the bad guy...

This summer... Dinner comes served with an extra topping... murder.

… with a crusty old detective that hated cheesy humor…

A mafia/comedy mix.

The Pizzaiolo: from dough to death

He was once the most feared hitman in the mafia, known for his creative kills based on the victims’ jobs. He could make a lawyer choke on his own words, a banker drown in his money, or a doctor die of a heart attack. But he had a change of heart and left his life of crime behind. He opened a pizzeria and took care of his orphaned niece, hoping to start anew. But his past came back to haunt him one day near Christmas, when his former boss sent his goons to kidnap his niece and kill him. Now he has to use his skills and his wits to save his niece and himself, and to end his boss’s reign of terror. But all he can think of now is related to pizzas. Will he be able to slice his way out of this mess?

The reason he can't remember much and lack creativity is because he suffers from early stages of alzheimer.

The second movie is a prequel titled :

The Pizzaiolo 2: from death to dough.

Despite being about literal murder, this is significantly less horrifying than your Christmas series lol

Not an insult btw just an observation

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Haha. Thanks anyway. :ط
I wanted to make a comic series to destroy the false sentiments of the frickin’ holiday season, but it nearly destroyed me. ะเ

Your unraveling was notable and hilarious as the series went on

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

Glad you enjoyed it, but I’m not gonna do something like this again any time soon. ะȷ

don’t give a f*** if it’s carbs that I’m eating!

I saw the last panel before the murder weapon and I thought poor fella got union-jacked.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That was hilarious. Well done.

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 1 points 10 months ago

I love the art style of this. Plus the humour is right up my alley.

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I liked this one a lot. Love your sense of humor.
