My kids are awesome.

So, remember this project that I begged all of you for help with mentioned previously?

My students are starting to hand in their finished superheroes this week.

One male student handed me a female superhero who was wearing a (traced, obviously) Spidergirl costume and carrying a mop. Her name was Super Clean and her power was Magic Mop. (*sigh*) And this, my friends, is how future Frank Millers are born.

On the other hand, today I had a female student hand me a male superhero who was wearing fishnet tights, high heels, a neon green cup, and nothing else. His power was "magic." Also, this particular student had added a huge package to the otherwise castrated male figure outline that I'd given her to work with.

This, my friends, is how future awesome is born.

Unfortunately, I had to hand the hero back to her because he wasn't finished yet. She hadn't given her hero a name yet, and she was supposed to have colored in more than just his protective cup.

...all I have to say is A+++++ to the "magic" hero.

Found you through When Fangirls Attack!

And I may have a new favorite hero! Seriously, how awesome can you get?

Well, all I can say is: between Super Clean and the magical man, I know who I'm looking to to save me from that burning building XD

Awesome!

Kids' creativity is so fun. The way they draw is also pretty nifty- mostly symbolic and this weird combo of the absolutely literal with the completely random and fanciful.

Oops...

That last comment was from me... Joel!

LOL, especially at the 2nd one.

I think those may have already been on Who Wants to be a Superhero...

*snort* Hah! Man, that's pretty hilarious, that second one handed in by the female student.

You will be scanning these, right? Please?

LOL, that is awesome.

Perhaps now you'll need to teach them sex-equality vocabulary.

If I can get the permission of the students, yes. ^__^

And this, my friends, is how future Frank Millers are born.

Hahahahaha ♥

Also, that sounds like an aaaaawesome project. I would have looooved that as a kid. Actually, they just did something like that on Beauty and the Geek (yes, I have terrible taste in TV).

As for the girl's superhero, I think that may have been how Dr. Strange was born too...

That gives me rather dangerous ideas.


Oh, speaking of cartoons. The other day, while doing random Google image searches, I found this sketch that someone did of two muscular vaguely Indian-looking men, very wrapped in each others' arms, full-on making out, and guess what my first thought was?

How cool it would be if someone wrote a Krishna/Arjuna slash fic. With illustrations.
