Hey guys.
So I have a bonus video for you this week,
and I was just looking through some stuff
on our bookcase, and I came across this and
I just had to share it with you guys.
It's a comic I made who knows how long ago.
I don't remember how old I was when I made
this, but I'm guessing it was somewhere around
13 or 14 years old.
So yeah...
I thought it was so funny I just had to share
it.
It's in this little duo tang.
Here we go.
It's called "The Blicks: search of the seven
swords."
Whoa.
Oh gosh, please don't judge me.
So I made a little color code of what colors
correspond to which characters, and then here
are the main character.
We have Chewy, he's a bear.
Bibi, who's a cat, and then Rocky who's a
dog.
And then they have- when they're wearing their
supervillian outfits, their names are Ramram,
Meowmeow, and Woofwoof.
So original.
Why didn't I color the insides of their mouths?
Whatever.
This was mostly just to map out their color
patterns, because they're based off teddy
bears.
If you can see, they have seams down them,
so they're meant to look kind-of like teddy's.
Anyway, that's them from the side.
What kind of a head shape is that?
Okay.
Moving on.
Purpose: search for the seven element swords.
The swords give the power to control the elements.
Avatar comes to mind, but I actually didn't
know- wait, when did Avatar: the last airbender
come out?
It might not have actually been out, because
I think it came out in 2005, didn't it?
Anyway, this was before the Avatar days, or
before I knew about Avatar.
So - wind, ice, earth, water, fire, light,
and plants.
This reminds me of a Pikachu for some reason.
Okay, so, Chewy thinks he's the leader of
the group, acts tough, fights often with Bibi,
loves pizza pops.
Oh, insert picture of pizza pops for people
who don't have them in their Country.
Rocky- chick magnet.
Likes Bibi.
Always questions Bibi about her guy friends.
Steals Pokemon cards.
Okay.
Bibi - fights with Chewy, stalks the neighbor,
hates lemonade stands and bake sales.
Often seen with lollipop or cotton candy or
Popsicle.
These are the Blicks.
The bad guys.
Then we have the Jingles, those are the good
guys.
Again, their real names, then their code names.
There's Lola, Linlin, Sparky, Zigzag, Chalky,
Bonbon, yep.
The Jingles collect the sword to avoid control
by the Blicks.
They would use the swords to help others.
For example, use the plant sword to grow food
in famished countries.
Okay, I worked on this for a period of time-
I don't know how long it was, maybe a few
days, maybe a week, whatever, but then I never
touched it again.
I assembled all this stuff, and then I just
never touched it again after I made a few
comic pages.
So, speaking of comics, because I know I'm
going to get questions about this.
I do think it would be fun to make my own
comic one day, but I do think I need a ton
more practice still.
I grew up with this book called, "So you want
to be a comic book artist?"
And I was obsessed with that book and I loved
making comics when I was younger.
I was obsessed, so that's just a bit of background
as to what inspired this.
Okay.
We have a night shot.
"Ah, my head!
Where am I?"
"Hey, who the heck are you guys?"
"Chewy."
"Bibi"
"Hm, I'm Rocky.
Do you guys have any idea how we got here?"
It's so bad.
It's so bad.
Bleep.
Huh?
"Welcome, my friends."
This is all Giovanni-style, from Pokemon.
"Welcome, my friends, to your new home.
You've been chosen to become a part of my
team.
You may recall hearing of the new group of
crime fighters, the Jingles."
"I hate the Jingles.
There's no way I'm joining those losers.
What kind of a name is 'Jingles,' anyway?"
"Do not worry, my goal is not to join them,
but destroy them if they get in my way.
I designed suits that will enable you to use
special telekinetic abilities."
"Why wouldn't you just kill them right away,
instead of creating all this?
I mean, special suits and powers?
Isn't that a bit much?"
"First of all, getting rid of them will be
no simple task.
They also have special abilities and are well
trained.
The reason they are a nuisance is because
they are after the same treasure as I: finding
and controlling the seven element swords."
"Hey, I've heard of those, but isn't it just
a myth?"
Chew-Chew.
I made seven swords that give power- Sorry,
I'm distracted by the next panel.
"I made seven swords that give the power to
control certain elements."
"How can you control things like light and
wind?
It's impossible."
"Don't talk with food in your mouth!"
Where'd you get that cookie anyway?"
"Table in the corner.
Anyway, like I was saying, those swords can't
possibly exist."
"Then what's this?"
Gasp.
She has a cookie now.
Is there... rumble, rumble.
"Ah!
Earthquake!"
"Sweet, I'll join the team."
"I wasn't giving you a choice.
You three have to be in the team, whether
you like it or not.
I will dispose of those who refuse."
"I'm in."
"Me too."
"And me, but I still have a lot of questions."
"You'll have to wait.
It is time to start training."
The next day: "I can't believe this is our
first mission.
I know we haven't had much training, but seriously,
a lemonade stand?
This is ridiculous."
"Yeah, but the Jingles will be there and they've
had way more training than us.
This mission doesn't have anything to do with
the swords.
It's just a bit of practice.
Plus, we get to terrorize children."
"Come one, come all to the lemonade fund-raising
event.
All proceeds go to the kindergarten field
trip fund.
That disgusts me."
And that is where it ends.
Why did I shade it in like that was Chewy
speaking?
It should have been Bibi speaking, because
she's the one that hates the lemonade stands
and stuff.
I thought it was Bibi when I first read through
it too, but I shaded in half the face, which
means it's Chewy.
Whatever.
Anyway, that's as far as I got.
I never picked it up since.
Like I mentioned, I worked on it for a bit,
but I love flipping through this.
It's just so cute.
It's obviously not well thought out, or anything,
but it's just fun to flip through it.
I like how I made it into a book with a bit
of explanations, and stuff, like... it was
just something I thought was really cute so
I thought I would share it with you guys.
So, thanks for watching, and I'll see you
for my usual Friday video, this Friday.
Bye!
