The Tale of the Blowhole

Today I bring you a new tale to add to our storytime repertoire.

Many moons ago in the state of Hawaii, there vacationed a Jimmy.

This said Jimmy was not familiar with islands besides those in the roads on major streets. You see this very Jimmy was from the Valley.

This specific Jimmy is also quite literate, you will frequently find him engaged in a book or perusing maps of distant lands. He used his written ware in this case as a tool to find himself something fun to do on this island vacation.

There he found a natural phenomena that captured his fountain loving imagination. A blowhole. Not any blowhole, but one on a treacherous part of beach, that spews over 100 ft in the air. The approximate height of a 9 story building. Fascinated Jimmy told his family, they trekked for hours to reach this dangerous location…

…to find that…

… the tide was out.

 

THE END.

The Tale of Jimbraham Lincoln

I didn’t forget about Story Time with Lauren!

Today I bring you a poem about a Jimmy/Abraham Lincoln hybrid:

His Name is Jimbraham Lincoln,

He wakes up in the morning yawning and blinkin’…

When he looks at the ladies he cannot stop winkin’

and he likes to end his days with some tea and fried chinkin’

Partying with Jimmy

Jimmy is an unusual Lad he likes to stay at home, all the time.

Some may think it’s because he doesn’t like to be social, but my theory is that Jimmy likes to party with his neighbors.  And not the neighbors you may think:

What a party animal.

The San Fernando Trail

Today Jimmy has to travel the world. He has to travel out of the valley and to the glimmering Long Beach coast.

I imagine his unusual journey as an event similar to the Oregon Trail.

The first screen would be Jimmy leaving his office:

You’d have to stack up on supplies like Tea, and CD’s

And then you of course consult the map:

You may have to forge the LA River.

Oh no you were caught by a seal! Are you prepared??

You have lost one wheel and two bottles of Tea.

Did you have seal repellant? If not you, you have now lost your hand.

Continue:

You have encountered traffic, please wait.

45 minutes later:

30 minutes later:

You arrived at Long Beach.

Hanging with the Homies

I made this doodle a while ago, and I thought I already posted it…. BUT surprise I didn’t!

It’s what I imagined what the Vicious Crew would look like if we were hung in a lodge…

Just in case you need a bit of help figuring what animal is which…

Top row: Isabel as you can see is depicted as some sort of Elk like creature, which is real nice. I’m the second one in and I have always desired to be a jackalope so call me Lopey, and finishing out the top row Christine makes a fine unicorn with a charming pink horn.

Bottom Row: Eric thinking about a lodge stated he wanted to be a tiger, so there he is as a manly lodge residing tiger. I have always assumed Jimmy would be a moose kind of animal because he is super tall. And, Of course Miss Tangy is a very enticing antelope.

Doodles In Wonderland

So I am a total nerd.

And I really like Alice in wonderland…

I drew this for Jimmy’s Birthday. But I am putting this up to celebrate not only that we own a lot of pets but in celebration of Tim Burton’s new movie.

Which I am going to see tomorrow.

Also watch the other recent wonderland remake “Alice” with Andrew Potts, it was a very different and interesting adaptation. Andrew was the best Mad Hatter I’ve seen.

have a snazzy weekend!

Like a hybrid

Today I share with you my latest invention:

APPLE JIMMY!

 

This is what would happen if Jimmy was cloning himself and happened to be eating an apple.

There are two downsides to this; 1. he doesn’t have super powers, besides that of being a smell good, red apple, and 2. it would be horrible to sit behind him in a movie theatre.
