So a couple weeks ago I wrote a stupid tweet about a “new spec idea” that I had.
New spec idea: a heroin-addicted, cage-fighting, wisecracking nun solves supernatural crimes at the Vatican. The title? “Bad Habit.”

As you might have guessed, I was a lot more enamoured of my dumb wordplay than I was of the actual idea. At first.
But for whatever reason, this was one of those shower thoughts that sticks around, and I kept getting ideas for scenes and characters that would make me laugh to myself at inopportune moments. So eventually I just threw my hands into the air, yelled “fine!” and wrote the stupid thing as a ten page comic script. Minus the heroin bit, which was a little too hard to work in with the page restriction I set myself. Hope you like it anyway.
