Bubble Problem — Jarrod MacKay

Here is a comic book I drew when I was in the first grade. Yes, did name most of the characters after me and my sisters. Yes, perhaps it's unrealistic that the crown jewels include earrings and that someone who stole them would also wear them out in public even though they are stolen and they only have one of the pair.

Still, the idea that at six or seven years old I had the gumption to draw, however poorly, 168 panels with a complete story arc is pretty amazing to grown-up me.

Some points for those who opt to read:

1. In the early pages, those are guns that shoot bubbles that can apparently trap people.

2. That's a flying car that comes when the protagonist whistles.

3. I realize it's contradictory for a character to say getting arrested was liberating. That's a 6-year-old mimicking action movie banter.

4. That's gunfire at the end, destroying a box the hero is hiding behind. And some kind of barrel-melting slime.
