New Characters and 'District 9'

Salutations, Doods and Doodettes!

The Doodle Doods are back with yet another comic featuring everyone's favorite cartoon character, Schooly McShooty. This time, our gun-toting hero is joined by his brand new partner-in-crime, Suicide Sally! We worked extra hard on this one despite the school system's desperate attempts to silence us, so I hope you like today's post and share it with every single person you know - OR ELSE!

Anyway... It's been a busy week around these parts. Mom and dad have been nagging me about getting a job again, saying that I should "spend less time on the computer". They actually forced me to make a resumé this time. It's like they're offended that I'm the only one in this family with any real talent so they want make sure that I waste time being a nobody instead of working on my writing. Other kids my age are out there smoking crack and getting pregnant but my parents are bothered that I stay up late honing my skills! It makes no sense.

At least they mellowed out when I told them that I'd been invited to the movies by friends of the blog, Mari and Vic! They almost never lend me cash for this sort of thing (hence William and I saving up lunch money to spend at the video store), but I guess I finally caught them in a good mood. They even offered to give me a ride to the mall after learning that William felt sick and wasn't going with us. I guess they're still mad about his part in our extra-curricular activities.

Vic, Mari and I ended up goofing off for a couple of hours before the movie started and we even checked out the new record store. Can you believe that neither of them had ever heard of Blue Oyster Cult or even Rob effin' Zombie? William nearly blew a gasket when I told him later. It's a good thing I was there to educate our new fans about real music. However... I have to admit that Marianne was right about one thing. Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me is catchy as hell.

You're probably wondering what we watched, right? Well, that brings us to today's movie review. We were originally going to see Inglorious Basterds (it was supposed to be my first Tarantino flick on the big screen!), but the asshole clerk wouldn't sell us any R-rated tickets because of our age. So... we ended up watching District 9 instead. I hadn't seen or heard anything about it before, but it was actually really good! And it was pretty violent too, so I have no idea why we were allowed to see this one but not the Tarantino movie.

Anyway, I rated it an 8/10. Vic gave it a 9/10 (lol), and Mari said it's a solid 10 (but I have a feeling that she just hasn't seen as many movies as we have). I told Will that I'll watch it again with him when it's released on DVD so we could find out his score, but he said he's "not into that alien bullshit". Your loss, Will!

And speaking of William, I biked to his house earlier today and he told me he had an idea for another character for our comics... Julami!

That's right, he wants to make a cartoon version of our friendly demonic entity. He also says that he wants to guest-write our next comic. Apparently, the idea came to him in a dream or something. I was pissed at first, and told him that this goes against our deal, but he reminded me that so do random movie nights when we had planned on working on the blog together. He had a point, so I accepted. It's less work for me, anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So without further ado, here's the official design for Julami!

What do you guys think? At first I thought the details were a bit much when compared to the other characters, but the claws and crescent-moon-shaped horns are kinda growing on me. It's a shame that this low-res photo is all that's left of the original drawing, though. A couple of idiots from William's new class ripped it apart just a few minutes after he took the picture on his potato of a phone. Sometimes I get the feeling that no one hates teenagers more than other teenagers. And do you know the worst part? The teachers saw the whole thing but no one did anything about it.

That place is hell. At least it's just a couple more years before we never have to deal with this kind of bullshit ever again. I can't wait for real life to begin.

I guess that's all for now. I'm off to play Tibia with William while listening to Fire of Unknown Origin. Gotta live it up tonight so I can spend all of Sunday working on a Geography project that's due on Monday.

Oh, one more thing: don't forget to send us your fan-art if you like any of our super sexy characters. Who knows, we might even feature your doodles in our next post. For now, I'll leave you with a trailer that caught my eye when we watched District 9. I have a feeling that this is going to be a good one.

Chainsaw Cheers,

PS: William and I are trying to find a place nearby that'll be playing The Human Centipede on the big screen. It looks sick. Comment below if you have any info about that.

PPS: If you don't like next week's comic, take it up with William!
