Gifts for Another Good Friend of Mine

 
A gift for my good friend Autopilotkitty featuring her two favorite characters Billy and Grim, from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, hugging and telling each other how much they mean to each other.(I used a smaller version of this picture as the cover for a story I wrote specially for her, My Best Friend Grim.)
 
 
Here also is a picture requested to me by Autopilotkitty, featuring Grim and Mandy as a married couple, gently hugging their new baby son Bones.(Autopilotkitty's OC.)
 
 
Bones is property of Autopilotkitty.
 
 
 
Also included is a gift extra I've made for her, featuring Cheese and Crackers from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends(Both of whom originally appeared in the episode Mac Daddy) hugging. Please enjoy!
 
Cheese and Crackers...they just seem to go well together.

It's a Monster's Life

 


Here is a Powerpuff Girls fanfiction of mine, which is based off of a Captain Caveman episode from the Flintstone Kids TV series entitled, "Attack of the 50-Foot Teenage Lizard." In this story, a gentle little boy monster named Timmy is expected by his parents to smash a city, which he doesn't want to do; fortunately, with the Powerpuffs' help, he finds a way to make his parents proud without hurting anyone. Please enjoy!

 
 
 
 
BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:
 
 
Timmy, the friendly little boy monster who doesn't want to hurt anyone. His appearance is loosely based off of those of Billy, the kid monster from the original Captain Caveman episode.
 
 
And Timmy's family, whose appearances are based loosely off of those of Billy's family. Papa Monster is rather gruff, but has a gentle side, Mama Monster is pleasant and accomodating, and Timmy's little sis Dolores is somewhat moody, but can be sweet(She takes after her father that way).
 
 
 



Just for fun, I've also added a picture of Blossom, who's ended up wearing a clown suit after Timmy drops a costume shop on her(Much to her sisters' amusement).

Joke of the Week #31:Special Thanksgiving Edition

Little Suzy's mother is preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Suzy watches as she sticks a meat thermometer in the turkey.

You don't really expect me to eat that, do you?" Suzy cringes.

"Why's that, sweetie?" her mother inquires.

"Because if it's that sick, I don't want any!"

Book Review:The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl

Another review of another classic by the great Roald Dahl.


This story is told from the perspective of a little girl whose neighbors, the Greggs(Mr. and Mrs. Gregg and their sons Philip and William*) are very avid hunters; every Saturday, they go into the woods seeking out various animals(mostly ducks and deer) for the pleasure of shooting them. Naturally, the little girl doesn't appreciate this, and she tries to tell the Greggs to stop, but they rudely give her the brush-off. Well, this turns out to be a very unwise move on their part, because something they don't realize about this particular little girl is that she has...a MAGIC FINGER!


All this little girl has to do is point her magic finger at someone, and fantastic things happen to them. Proof positive comes the next morning when the Greggs wake up to discover that they've shrunken down to duck size and grown wings!!

And, on top of this, a family of ducks end up growing to human size, gaining human arms, and taking up residence in the Greggs' house!

The Greggs have to adjust to life despite this...but will they ever learn their lesson?




My thoughts:This is a very cute, clever, well-written book; the illustrations by Tony Ross(who also illustrated, among other things, the Little Wolf book series) are excellent.** The story, interestingly enough, has two morals. The first, more obvious one is, as the ever-quotable Popeye once said, "Be kind to aminals", which is, in fact, a pretty good idea. :-D  The second, slightly more vague moral is presented by the little girl herself, in that she tends to zap people, in anger, with her magic finger, and ends up appalled by the end results, the implicit moral being, "It's best if people control their tempers, otherwise they never know what can of worms  they might open," which is also a pretty good idea.

My only beefs about this book are:

-It's kind of short, especially compared with Dahl's other books.

-We never do find out what the little girl's name is.

All things said, this is a good, high-quality, and very enjoyable Roald Dahl classic.


*On an interesting note, the sons' names could be abbreviated as, "Phil and Will"(or possibly "Phil and Bill), which sounds similar to the names of another certain famous pair of siblings.


**There's another version of this book with illustrations by Quentin Blake(who's illustrated most of Dahl's other books); the illustrations of which are also very good.

Timmy would keep forgetting to close the door to the chickens' pen, and they would get into the house and start squawking, scratching and pecking the furniture, and sending feathers flying everywhere. When one of the chickens scratched up Timmy's dad's slippers, he lost his temper.

"If this keeps happening," he shouted, "We're going to have those chickens for dinner!"

"Gee, that sounds great!" Timmy says, his face lighting up. "But...how will they hold the silverware?"

"But that's not all," he continues. "In the room on the other side some lady wails and moans all day long."

"Oh, I do," he replies. "I just sit in my room all day and play the bagpipes."

A man and his wife are on vacation. As they're driving along, they come to the town of Kissimme; they have the hardest time trying to figure out how the town's name is pronounced. Eventually, they stop at a restaurant to have lunch. The man goes up to a waiter and says, "My wife and I have been wondering how to pronounce the name of this place ever since we got here, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind pronouncing the name of this place slowly and clearly for us, please?"

The waiter gives him an odd look, then says, "Piiiiiiiiiizzaaaa Huuuuuuut."
