The Last Supper
Your Mom tells you that if you eat your bussels sprouts, she will take you out to have ice cream later. Only one problem... you hate brussels sprouts! So begins the last supper, one of my most succesful interactive comics.
The choosing mechanism for this comic involves the act of literally unfolding the comic as it progresses. The next panel in a sequence is got to by folding a flap in the direction printed on the flap. At key intersections, you will get a choice of which direction you wish to unfold.
If you unravel "The Last Supper", you'll find that it is a single 11 x 17 sheet of paper. One technical problem I faced in constructing "The Last Supper" was the fact that as you fold, the width of the flap gains dimmension. This means I had to gradually reduce the size of the squares as the story progressed. This is a tricky maneuver when the squares tessalate on a grid.
