Shame on those good guys!  They should live with average people so they can protect them from bad guys!

I love Flute Cop’s apron—Flute and Grill Master.

I love that the bears are ashamed of being hairless…brilliant.

Than goodness, no rams!

Robot Axe Cop: SURPISE!

I have an old test from second grade which is particularly memorable. As an adult, looking at it, the intent is obvious: it’s just a reading/illustration comprehension test. They’re not even asking for full-sentence answers. It’s stuff like:

Q: “Why are the man and the child running?”
Intended A: “The tornado” or “To escape the tornado”

Anyway, when I first saw the test I thought it was a creative writing and art exercise. Clearly the tornado was an underdeveloped character and there wasn’t nearly enough lightning or clouds. None of the characters had comic-book-style dialogue balloons. Was the father an inventor who accidentally made a tornado with one of his inventions? Yes, and they forgot to put that question on the test, so I added it myself!

Anyway, I ran out of time to finish, because they didn’t give us enough time for the elaborate story and illustration improvements I had planned. I was frustrated because surely every test in second grade wasn’t going to be this hard? As a direct result of this and a map of Pennsylvania in Geography class that was clearly lacking aliens and robots, I was given extra art classes to work out my creative impulses.

So of course you’re going to get an elaborate speech on a new location called Secret Town out of Malachai when you just want to know the name of an existing location.
