BIP for Kids (Johnny Learns About the World)

[Jenne]

(I'm splitting the post to make room for more attachments...)

Any way to get the links to the images fixed?  I realize they may have been lost when PD crashed at some point or something.  Anyway, I'd love to see the final renderings that were shown ITT.

[Reginald Ret]

this should really be finished

[LMNO]

Jump in and help, then.

[Verbal Mike]

btw, is that Lulu edition of BIP based on the original pamphlet or the revised one?

[LMNO]

Truth be told, I have no idea.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

kids are information and belief sponges. Besides, their parents are going to teach them something even more retarded.

When I was like 8 I honestly believed that the toilet was alive and that it loved eating my poos. I hung out with it and talked to it when I thought it was lonely. I think my personality today still sort of reflects that.

so like, if we can, hell yeah we should totally melt kids' brains.

Holy shit, how have I not read this post before? It explains it all!

[LMNO]

Bump for Iason.

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

So was the book ever actually put together?

How did I miss this?

[LMNO]

I believe Nurbl turned into a spag, and dropped the ball.

Any illustrators wanna try again?

[LMNO]

Here's the script, BTW.

PAGE 1:
Full page panel.  In lower right corner, taking up about a quarter of the page, is Johnny.  He looks left.  The background is vaguely outside-ish.

TEXT:
This is Johnny.


----------------
PAGE 2:
Page cut horizontally into 2 panels.  Top panel: move closer in on Johnny, head and chest.
TEXT:
Johnny wants to learn about the world.
Lower panel is just the bridge of his nose, eyes, and eyebrows.
TEXT:
He decides that his senses will tell him about the world.


---------------
PAGE 3:
Page cut horizontally into 2 panels.  Top panel: At right is Johnny, at left is a bird sitting on the ground, wings folded.  The bird is almost wholly blue.
TEXT:
Johnny sees a bird.

Lower panel: close-up on the bird.

TEXT:
It is a blue bird.


----------------
PAGE 4:
Two panels.  The first covers 75% of the page.  It is of the bird flying off.  We see the breast, stomach, and the underside of the wings, which are red.
TEXT:
Oh, no!  It is a red bird!

Second panel, a close-up of Johnny.

TEXT:
Now Johnny knows that birds are blue and red.


----------------
PAGE 5:
Two panels, split vertically.  Left hand panel shows an apple tree, with the bird perched on a branch.  The birds red and blue feathers can easily be seen, as well as bright yellow feet.
TEXT:
Johnny sees the bird,Äôs feet.

Oh, No!  They are yellow!

Right hand panel shows another close up of Johnny.

TEXT:
Now birds are blue and red and yellow!

What other kinds of things can birds be?


-----------------
PAGE 6:
Full page.  Bird in flight, bright red apple falling.

TEXT:
Look, an apple!

The apple is red.


------------------
PAGE 7:

Two vertical panels.  In the first, Johnny has picked up the apple, and is biting into it.  NO TEXT.

In the second, close up of Johnny from behind, looking over his shoulder at the apple he is holding.  There is a single bite taken out of it, and it is brilliantly white on the inside.

TEXT
Oh, no!  The apple is white!

And the apple is sweet!


-----------------
PAGE 8:

Two Horizontal panels.  The first is the same from-behind shot of Johnny, but now there are two bite marks.  The white one is still there, but the other is a rotten brown color.

TEXT
Oh, no!  The apple is brown!

And the apple is bitter!

The second panel is a close up of Johnny.

TEXT:
Johnny knows that an apple is red and white and sweet and bitter.

What else is an apple?


---------------------
PAGE 9:

Full page.  Looking down from tree.  Up close, the tree branch has rough bark.  Far below, Johnny is leaning against the tree.

TEXT:
The tree is rough.

And the tree is tall.


---------------------
PAGE 10:
Full page.  Close up of Johnny,Äôs arm and elbow pulling away from the tree.  Threads of sap run between his arm and the tree.

TEXT:
Oh, no!  The tree is sticky!


--------------------
PAGE 11:
2 panels, first one takes up 75% of the page.  It is a pull-away shot, which shows Johnny, the apple tree, and a much, much taller fir tree.

TEXT:
Oh, no!  The tree is short!

Second panel, close up of Johnny.

TEXT:
Johnny knows that trees are rough and sticky and tall and short.

What else is a tree?


----------------------
PAGE 12:

Full Page.  Johnny in profile, pointing to something off page.  He has a look of surprise on his face.

TEXT:
Johnny sees HIMEOBS.

[Rev. St. Syn, KSC (Ret.)]

GODDAMNIT! I DEMAND to know just where the shitting sweet merciful fuck you have cunting well been!


KNAO DAMMIT!

[nurbldoff]

I've a well established pattern of appearing on the boards once or twice a year to start some stuff I never finish and then disappear again. I'm sure you can see I don't want to throw all that away!

[Rev. St. Syn, KSC (Ret.)]

[nurbldoff]

What the hell happened to my attachments? Somebody broke the boards again? Why can't I leave you people alone for even a few months without this happening?
