Turning Tragedy into Triumph! It's SuperScooper

As a young boy, mild-mannered Miles Prestwich, reached for a penny a lady had dropped on the road. As a result of his kind act both hands were run over by a Mack truck leaving them permanently flattened. Everyone felt sorry for Miles. Then one day Miles discovered that his hands gave him an advantage over ordinary mortals and SUPERSCOOPER was born! Now he aims to single-handedly, er, double-handedly clean up the town. He's especially useful during equestrian parades.

And you'll be pleased to know that when he's not fighting filth and corruption he has a great job at the local diner cooking flapjacks. Mmmm, tasty.

The League of Useless Superheroes

This was a fun topic. I couldn't decide on one, so I just drew all of them. I think Caped Cod is my favorite because I'm all about the puns.

Man This sucks hard core. I'm gonna redo it.

Makes Inappropriate Comments at the Most Inopportune Times, Man

I don't know what he just said, and I don't want to know.

Unnecessary Superheros

This week my wife wanted to come up with the idea. I said "no."

She then pitched "Unnecessary Superheros" and I told her that was a very cool idea. I also told her I was going to take credit for it. Uh... Oh, crap, too late... where's the "backspace"? I'm such an idiot... why can't I stop typing everything I think?! Stop it! What is wrong with you..? I'll tell you what's wrong with you...

Anyway, the topic is "Fish", NO! It's Unnecessary Superheros.

The Cheshire Cat is a Bully

Shane and Joe convinced me to post, even though I missed the deadline. Basically, I think the Cheshire Cat is a bully. Watch the Disney movie... You'll see what I mean.

Hope you enjoy.

The White Rabbit

This is how I imagine the White Rabbit's morning started. He was taking his time with breakfast and showering until he realized he'd slept in a few extra hours. I hate those kind of days. His power probably went out while he was asleep.

White Rabbit Club

I was debating whether to post this week since I didn't have time to finish this. I decided I would try putting up just a rough idea and hope everyone would be kind. The idea of this is that after a hard day jumping in and out of rabbit holes that the white rabbits (yes I'm imagining that they do shifts) meet in their gentlemen's club to relax and reminisce. Of course, their club is only about a block down from the Flamingo club.

Deleted Scene

Maybe you'll get to watch this part on the next DVD.

The White Rabbit

Obsess Much?

I think this guy would give the advice of taking your watch off 'til your tan line vanished... that is, if he could still talk.

Oh Mister Rabbit!

I thought I'd try a slightly different style this time; reminiscent of the old Alice illustrations by Arthur Rackham or John Tenniel (but not nearly as good)! It was suggested I post the White Rabbits that didn't make the cut, so there ya go.

-Seth

New Topic: The White Rabbit

We never got an Old Man and the Sea from you, Seth! Does anyone know where Seth is? Maybe he's out of town. I hope he's not sick or dead. Feel free to post yours if you have one, Seth.

For this week's topic I was going to go with Alice in Wonderland, but there's just way too much from that that I wanted to draw. So I'm probably going to break that broad title and huge load of characters up into several of my upcoming topic choices... this time we'll focus on The White Rabbit.

Old Man and the Sea Monster

Haha, my sea monster's the biggest.

The Old Man and the Sea

The Old Man & the Sea

I figured I better put a larger version of the old man on here... because in my intended layout, he's kind of hard to see. There you have it.

Now, THAT'S a good idea, there.

This is inspired by the only thing I remember from the book.

The Old Man and the "C"

Well, somebody had to do it.

I Love Great Literature!

Popsicles

Hi, I'm new here, sorry this is kinda last second, but I had fun thinking up the idea.

New Topic: The Old Man and the Sea

Another banner week for Toon Club! It's my turn again, so I guess I'll post now in case anyone wants to get a jump on the weekend! The topic is "The Old Man and the Sea". Have a nice weekend, gang!

The problem with frozen foods Jurassic style

Okay, Shane. Now I'm mad at you too. You posted your idea before me and Adrian and made us both look bad. Maybe Adrian and I will have to form our own pity party club.

And now, a public service announcement...

I have not doubt that, somewhere, in some progressive children's magazine, the follow public service announcement appears next to an ad for Pokemon cards (or whatever's passing for toys nowadays.)

While I'm sure that there are studies that show interesting data about global warming, I highly doubt any of the evidence is conclusive.

Also, Shane cheated. I drew my polar bear first and he changed the date on his post to make it look like I was copying him. Boo, Shane!

Preparing Dinner

Patience.

Ice Maker

We are moving this weekend, so this has been a busy week. I didn't want to miss out on this week's topic, but I had to limit the detail I had imagined. I'm still happy with it, though.

I won't explain, I think it's pretty clear... wait, that sounded bad.

What have I done?!

The Ice Man Cometh

New evidence supports the "Instant Ice Age" theory. First it was the baby mammoth with flowers in its mouth, now this...

-Seth

Blue Nipples

Brrrrrrrr!

Sorry I missed out posting on Oz. I just had an extra busy week. For the new topic since Ice Age 2 had such a big opening let's do something related. Anything that has Ice in it then is the new topic for this week.

The Wizard of Oz

This is what happens when a flying, torch-gifting monkey meets a heartless Tin Man, a mindless Scarecrow, and a wimpy Lion. What a weird story. Dorothy is arm-wrestling the Witch off screen. That was my first sketch.

Lion is put in his place...

I love the Wizard of OZ! I think it was around the 4th grade when I would go to the library and check out as many OZ books as I could find; -especially the big fat ones with the amazing illustrations in them. I would study those drawings so much; they were a big influence on me. We currently live in a house that used to be on the MGM lot back in the day, and it is where they made all the costumes for the Wizard of OZ movie. We call it the Tailor of OZ's house. Cool, huh? I hope to add color to this one too, eventually.

-Seth

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Well, here you go. Great subject, Jed. I really enjoyed it. Now I have to work late to catch up on my actual job.

How the Scarecrow lost his brain (and some monkeys)

This makes me laugh. Hahah.

The Tin Can

I figured if I posted this "piece" first, the rest of you won't feel ashamed to post your own this week.

Here are my thoughts:

Maybe this is what inspired L. Frank Baum to have a man made of tin who needs a heart.

Or maybe it's what eventually become of the Tin Man.

All I know is, I should be kicked out of Toon Club.

And now... Jed's Assignment - The Wizard of Oz

I think it's my turn, isn't it? Anyway, if it is, I decided it would be fun to do the wizard of oz. Dorothy. The tin man. The lion. The scarecrow. Toto. Some flying monkeys. Pick one or tackle the whole crew. word to your mothers.

-Jed

Captain Hookie Mercury

My first few sketches were leaning toward the Frank Thomas design of Captain Hook. As I tried to get away from that, I realized I was just drawing Freddie Mercury of Queen. Rather than choose one direction or the other, I simply combined the two. My apologies to both Captain Hook and Freddie Mercury for seeing each of them as the other.

Thar be Hooky and Tink

I took a cue from Shane and just posted the sketch. It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks, so this is what I can do this time. If I ever get color on the thing I'll replace this one.

-Seth

Captain Hook Makes a Cool Desktop Pattern

Yeah... This is what took me a week and a half to draw. Sorry, everyone.

UPDATE: Now in widescreen!

Baby Hook Hands

So, I took Swan's idea and went horribly wrong with it. I showed it to my wife and she said I was an awful human being. Sorry everyone.

Joe Fowler

The future Hook

What a fortuitous coincidence. I've just been working on an illustration for someone based on Captain Hook so this gives me the opportunity to see what you all think of it. The idea here is to show him as an English gentleman prior to his becoming Hook and foreshadowing what he will become in the clouds.

All Ye Who Enter Here...

Avast ye land lubbers, 'tis true -this next week's topic be CAPTAIN HOOK!

So tie down the main mast mateys, and put your hands together ('cause he's only got one!) for the Steal-handed Stingray, the Sleaziest Sleaze of the Seven Seas- CAPTAIN JAMES HOOK! Yo-Ho!

-The Fearsome Captain Seth (arrrrgh!)

Samurai Seth

Hey look, it's me, but I'm a samurai! I would be sitting on the couch with Shane, but he took the whole couch.

-Seth

Jed-sama

Samurai Shane

Samurai Adrian and the Case of the Twenty-Headed Dragon

With his faithful sidekick, Chim Chum the Fox, by his side, the portly defender goes undercover to discover the truth about... HOLY EGGROLLS! A TWENTY-HEADED DRAGON! RUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Of course his head's on fire.

Joe Fowler

Samurai Scrappy

Revealed at last! Who's behind the mask of the Hit Show, "Samurai Jack"?

When casting was looking for someone brave, daring and experienced in cartoon acting, one name came to the forefront. Scrappy-Doo! Asked if he minds his anonymity behind the mask, Scrappy answered, "After the Scooby and Scrappy show there weren't a lot of parts out there for cute, daring, pint-sized pups. So when they offered me the part of Sammy, as I like to call him, I leapt at it. After all, I have to bring home the kibbles and bits just like anyone else.

This Week's Topic - Due March 13th

After having a few laughs about the dinosaur with my face and staring at rough sketches of Samurai Jack all week, I thought of the topic: Samurai "your name here".

Go to town... goooo theeeere!

Joe

Puff the Magic Data Entry Dragon

Well, it turns out good ol' Puff's magic was a little hard to categorize into a specific "job skill." Stay in school kids.
