Trading Habitats

At my mother's behest, I have also scanned and thus forever preserved one of my crowning achievements in middle-school science assignments. Hopefully you all enjoy it as much as she does.

"Jackie, are you scanning and posting all your childhood drawings because you're too lazy to draw new things?"

I... uh, what? No! Shut up. Read this adorable educational book I wrote.










Also, since this lovely note from a teacher was included in the same folder with this book, I thought I'd share it as a little bonus, so you can all see what a wonderful mother I have.


Even More Super Weasel

In case you thought I was done with Super Weasel comics, don't worry! There's more where that came from!

Today's collection samples a few of the shorter episodes, from three panels to two pages. That way if you don't have time to try and decipher a whole long episode of Tweenage-Jackie handwriting in one go, you can take it in short bursts.

The first comic for this post actually started out as a school assignment and probably won me some major brownie points with my history teacher (yes, I was That Kid in school.)

Now let's travel back together to a time when life was simpler, and apparently everyone wore berets...

That is definitely the version of that story they should teach in schools.

The next couple of comics are a very incredibly brief explanation of how Super Weasel ended up with the responsibility of protecting an entire city, and a Mother's Day Super Weasel Special. 

These comics feature a great inside look at the inside of Super Weasel's super sweet titanium steel fortress.


I'll bet you've never seen a weasel wear high heels before!

And last but not least, a comic that I had entirely forgotten about but that made me laugh real hard when I read it for the first time in who knows how long.



It says "Continued" at the end, but I have no idea if it ever actually was, or where I might have been going with that. But the first half is still hilarious!

Also, good news, I found some very, very rough drafts of a heretofore UNSEEN episode of Super Weasel, which I shall be transcribing into comic form in the coming week. Prepare yourselves for...

The Attack of the Wicked Wanda Weasel!
Coming soon to a blog near you.

Super Weasel: The Squirrels (Parts I-III)

This is a story about Super Weasel's frenimies, The Squirrels. This story has an important moral, which makes absolutely no sense. 

I'm wishing I had the original copies of these so I could make better scans, but alas... They are lost to the ages.

The Adventures of Super Weasel

Once upon a time, loooooong ago, before I had a blog...
 
Before I had a computer...
 
Before I drew pictures on the internet...
 
...there was Super Weasel.
 
When I was very young, I was assigned in my English class to adapt a fairy tale to my own telling. I think, at least... it was a long time ago, who can remember. How it started isn't important, what matters is what came of it. Even as a young child I was super hilarious, so that simple assignment would turn into a legacy that would last for decades to come.
 
Weasels have always been a family in-joke where I come from, so I always used to draw cartoon weasels all over everything. Middle school created an opportunity for me to channel those cartoon weasels into comic form.
 
Recently, while going through some files at my parents' house, I came upon the complete works of Young Jackie, and the Super Weasel legacy in (mostly) full. Even more recently, I acquired my very own scanner, so I can upload the legacy to the interwebs.
 
The scans are kinda wonky, because they're copies of copies of copies. It's like the King James Bible.
 
So without further ado, I present to you the first episode of the amazing Super Weasel!
