Rider&#8221; was an effort to get myself past the Super Neumanns. I needed move on to a new story but not be overwhelmed by a huge scope. So I decided on a 25 shot series. After the first 25 shots were complete I realized I wasn&#8217;t done with the character and so started concepting &#8220;Part 2&#8221;. As I was gathering props and side characters were being customized I used the time to tell an auxiliary story staring one of the guests from &#8220;Part 1&#8221;. Not to get too nerdy, but that &#8220;Interlude&#8221; ended up foreshadowing the conclusion of &#8220;Part 2&#8221;! An &#8220;Epilogue&#8221; to &#8220;Part 2&#8221; followed which also expands upon the story of a guest from <i>that<\/i> series. I will eventually conclude &#8220;The Quiet Life&#8221; with a &#8220;Part 4&#8221; so that there are 100 total shots for the main story.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/?page_id=1179\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partONE.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1169\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partONE.png 201w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partONE-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partONE-88x88.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/?page_id=1251\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTWO.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1171\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTWO.png 201w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTWO-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTWO-88x88.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/?page_id=1288\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTHREE.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1170\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTHREE.png 201w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTHREE-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partTHREE-88x88.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/?page_id=1293\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partFOUR.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1168\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partFOUR.png 201w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partFOUR-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cantinadan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GRIDER_WEB\u2013partFOUR-88x88.png 88w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens to a career &#8220;Spirit of Vengeance&#8221; after he retires and realizes he really never had anything but his work.
