    You know how sometimes you don't realize how much you need a laugh until you start laughing? Yeah... I got a good chuckle from this. Much needed after the traditional insomnia before the first day of classes. And so well done, too! Thanks muchly for sharing!
  2. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Oh okay. Sorry:o
  3. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    TogetherAgain: Glad I could give you a laugh. I know about that insomnia, believe me. It's been a long time since I took classes, but there's always going back to work after a vacation.

    Gonzo's Hobbit: No worries. I left things purposefully ambiguous. As for why he's only uncle to two of the three, well, we know who Janken's parents are, so take another look at his little sisters...
  4. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Yea didn't you say Sage was his child?
  5. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Don't remember if I actually said so, but yeah. She has his turtlish face. Thankfully she got her mother's eyes.

    Been playing some more the idea mentioned earlier, and I think I've got something to start outlining while I write the last four chapters of "Masks." I'm also working on something called "Runt," but I'm not sure that will come to fruituion.
  6. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Shame on you guys for giving me ideas.

    Fraggle Tag Team - Boober and Sage team up for revenge. "Revenge" being defined as "gettin' back at someone who is far overdue for gettin' back at."
  7. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Yes! Go Team Boober! Luv Sage in the hat.

    [Boober ties an improvised wig of red nook grass over Sage's green hair, then places the hat on top.]

    Boober: Perfect! From a distance she'll think you're me.

    Sage: I can't see!

    Boober: Look down the sides of your nose.

    [Sage tilts her head up, then looks through the narrow space between the hat's brim and her nose.]

    Sage: Oh, so that's how you do it.

    *****

    I just looked back at the original thumbnail for "Catch Boober by the Tail" (which is in one of the recent doodle dumps) and realized that I'd drawn Sage about to yank him into the pool. Heh. No idea why, as it makes more sense for Red to be messing with him.
  9. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Ah, I get it now. I was wondering about why Sage looked different in that picture.

    I'm diggin' your style! Very nice stuff indeed!
  11. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Vic Romano: Wow, thanks! I've loved your work for some time now.

    And because I'm still snowed in and still got electricity, here's yet another flippin' picture:

    The Way to a Fraggle's Heart: a scene that takes place between chapters 13 and 14 of Masks. I didn't feel right leaving one issue unresolved, but it didn't merit its own chapter. So it gets a pic instead.

    Fun facts: Like all Fraggles, Janken is musically inclined. However, he's not good at improvising lyrics, and plays an ocarina so he won't have to. In a pinch, he will scat along. His most shameful secret is that he has not yet found his song.
  12. Vic Romano Active Member

    Yaay! I have added you to my Da watch, and given you a llama. Please be sure to feed her twice a day. She likes peppermint and squash... but not together, that's gross. :p
  13. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Oh yeah? Well, I'm watching you right back! So there!

    Thanks for the llama. Maybe Janken'll share his "bouquet" with her. I'll llama you when I'm not on an oooold computer that doesn't choke on DA's scripts.
  14. Gonzo's Hobbit Well-Known Member

    Is Janken on a date or something in the pic (sorry, I haven't read Masks yet) he just looks like he could be at any rate.
  15. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    As Cantus might say, "No, and yes." Not at that exact moment in time, but he is dating someone, yes.
  16. ilovemusic Active Member

    Yanken´s soooo cute!
  17. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Yanken? Is he Jan's Scandinavian cousin? ;)
  18. Puckrox Well-Known Member

    I think Yanken shoiuld be introduced in the next chapter! Wahoo Yugoslavian Fraggle!
  19. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Oh great, now I know I'm going to have Yorgi Yorgesson's I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas going in my head for the rest of the day.
  20. Slackbot Well-Known Member

    Penny Dreadful: in case anyone was wondering what she looked like. Well, in front of the cameras. Without all the makeup and wigging and prosthetics and stuff, she looks like a fairly ordinary green Frackle.
