The Puppy Vanishes

Now you see him, now you don't.

 

 

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the tenth in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. The storyline is based on a Tom and Jerry cartoon entitled, "The Invisible Mouse," and the title is based on that of a book by the author of "Babe the Gallant Pig." In this story, a Great Dane named Henry and his niece Spotty come to the pound seeking a home, which the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens are more than happy to assist them in finding. Meanwhile, Strudel shows the group her new invention, the Invisibility ray, but when Niblet accidentally presses the on switch, Lucky is turned invisible! The group then endeavors to find a way to reverse the process, but in the mean time, Lucky has an excellent time driving Catchum up the wall! Please enjoy!

BTW, here are a few pics of the story's characters:

 

Henry the polite Harlequin Great Dane and his niece Spotty. Henry's appearance and mannerisms are based on those of Barkerville; both dogs are shown in different profiles to show their two different colored eyes.

 

 

And Janey, the little girl who eventually adopts Spotty, and her mother, who adopts Henry. Janey's name and appearance are based on those of the little girl in the original book.

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the third in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. In this story, which is a nod to the movie Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, a technical malfunction with Strudel's time machine sends the Pound Puppies and their kitty pals back to 1959; while trying to figure out how to get home again, they meet some new friends, try to foil a villain's plan to steal the artifact that provides Puppy Power, and contend with a mysterious creature in the woods. Please enjoy!

 

Pound Puppies Generation Gap: Back to the '50s

 

BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:

 

The Pound Puppies in their '50s garb. Lucky's outfit mirrors that of Cooler in the movie, only with the colors reversed, and Cookie's is similar to that of Charlemange.

 

 

The Kennel Kittens in their '50s outfits. Squeak's garb very much conveys his tough persona.

 

 

The Super Secret Pup Club in their '50s clothes. Cupcake's outfit is a color swap of Brighteyes' outfit in the movie, and Patches' outfit is a color swap of Whopper's.

 

 

Sparky, who in the present day helps Strudel with her time machine; like his friend Mr. Nut Nut, he's also not completely all there.

 

Niblet's girlfriend Giblet(Who first appeared in the episode, "When Niblet met Giblet.") in her present day outfit and somewhat simplified '50s outfit. Like her boyfriend, she also is not completely all there.

 

Twiggy(Who first appeared in the episode, "Taboo.") gives the group a guided tour of the pound and the museum when they first arrive in the '50s. Barlow(Who first appeared in the episode, "Barlow.") is quite lackadaisical, but also very polite.

 

 

Prince(Who first appeared in the episode, "Fright at the Museum.") is the resident "smart one" at this new pound. His appearance is a combination of those of Howler and Hairball in the movie.

 

Bobo, Chauncey, and Camellia(The former two of whom first appeared in the episode, "Once a Ralph, Always a Ralph," and the latter first appeared in the episode, "There's Something About Camellia.") are three pups whom the Pup Club quickly befriend. Bobo is a cheerful, energetic little fellow, Chauncey is a polite, classy sort, and Camellia is friendly and amiable, but likes to imitate people(Though this trait of hers might come in handy later...)

 

 

Miss Petunia the mama Golden Retriever, and her three little puppy children(Who frst appeared in the episode, "Pound Preemies; I added the name Lulu.) She's similar to Colette, the mother dog from the movie, in both looks and personality.

 



Luke and Maddie, the two Tammy and Jeff-esque teenagers who run the new pound.

 

Martin McEvil, this story's Marvin McNasty-esque villain who plans to steal the Rosetta Bone, which enables Puppy Power, and take over the world.

 

 

McEvil's hopelessly inadequate(And ironically named) henchmen, Slim and Jumbo. Their appearances are based on those of two certain dognappers, and their personalities mirror those of Lumpy and Bones, McNasty's henchmen; Slim's appearance is also based slightly on that of Lloyd the dogcatcher from Disney's Bolt.*

 

 

And last but by no means least is the Saspooch. Similar to Big Paw, this legendary creature was said to have guarded the Rosetta Bone in ancient Egypt. However, he's said to only be a myth...or is he?

 

 

*More on that movie later...























 

 

 

 

Building a Better Bear Trap

Trouble's bruin.

 

Here is a Care Bears fanfiction of mine, which is based on the comic "The Think Box Bollix" from the Donald Duck compilation A Christmas for Shacktown. In this story, little Wonderheart Bear(from the new Welcome to Care-A-Lot Tv series on The Hub.*) has decided to become an assistant to local inventor Brightheart Raccoon, which Grumpy Bear takes umbrage at, thinking that he's nothing but a loony inventor. Upon hearing about Brightheart's newest invention the Brain Booster ray, which enables animals to talk and think like humans(and Care Bears) Grumpy decides to trick Brightheart, hoping to thus expose him for the phony that Grumpy believes he is, and make Wonderheart feel less inclined to work for him, but when things quickly go awry, Grumpy may end up needing Brightheart's help! Please enjoy!

 

 

Inventing Trouble

 



 

BTW, here are some pics of the various OCs from this story:


The shopkeeper bear, who sells Grumpy the lion costume he wears as part of his plan. He's a bit sleep-deprieved because Grumpy gets him up in the middle of the night.

The mysterious bear that Grumpy meets in the woods, who turns out to be a lion affected by the Brain Booster in disguise, with a craving for...roast bear!

 

And finally, a monkey affected by the Brain Booster, who informs Wonderheart about the lion's capture of Grumpy, so she can save him.(I patterned her appearance off of that of the monkeys inhabiting the Forest of Feelings, such as Chai.)

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore:Donald Duck in A Christmas for Shacktown by Carl Barks

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

He's my little pal,



Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Daisy is his gal,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

In his sailor suit,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Gee, I think he's cute!

I love the way he waddles and I like to hear him talk,

And when somebody makes him mad,

QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! How he can squawk!

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Cocky as can be,

Quack, Quack, Quack, Donald Duck,

Here's what he taught me,

When someone knocks you down,

Get right up again,

Show some pluck like Donald Duck,

QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!

 

 

 

The second volume in Carl Bark's ever popular Donald Duck series, this high-quality collection catalogues the further adventures of a certain famous duck, his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, his girlfriend Daisy, his Uncle Scrooge, and guest pest Gladstone Gander. Some must-reads are:

 

 

A Christmas for Shacktown-Donald, Daisy, and the kids all want to chip in money to make a good Christmas for the impoverished families of Shacktown. There's just one tiny little itsy-bitsy(fairly huge) caveat: getting tight-fisted Uncle Scrooge to part with so much as a penny!(As the ever-quotable Babs Bunny once said, "Playing on his sympathy has worse odds than the lottery!") How will Donald get the money?

 

The Big Bin on Killmotor Hill-Uncle Scrooge builds a new maximum-security money bin, which the Beagle Boys evince an interest in. Can Donald help save his uncle's fortune?

 

The Screaming Cowboy-Donald composes and sells a song to a radio station, thus winning a trip to the mountains. Little does he know that a hermit living there despises the song! (There's a Little Bad Wolf lookalike kid in this story, BTW.)

 

Oh, please.

 

Statuesque Spendthrifts-One of the funnier stories in this collection, Uncle Scrooge and the Maharajah of Howdoyustan feud with each other over who's richer by each building bigger and bigger statues.

 

Rocket Wing Saves the Day-The kids adopt a racing pidgeon and train him for an upcoming pidgeon race; there's just one problem...he's afraid of train whistles!

 

 

The Think Box Bollix-Donald is annoyed when the kids begin helping wacky inventor Gyro Gearloose with his inventions, and tries to play a prank on them...but the prank backfires(majorly)!

 

 

 

An excellent read, and a good companion piece to Lost in the Andes.
