Max Scribble: Yo! Why'd ya erase my killer joke, dude? It was gold!
I'm sorry, it's just. We have to be more original
"Original?" Original is overrated! What's fun about being original? It's all been done before! I'd rather be a copycat, or a "reimagine" or whatever the heck they call it. Being original is like trying to be the first person to draw a cat. It's boring!
Well, I'll have you know that I myself am quite a unique creature. I don't think many people can say they've seen someone like me
Max rolls his eyes Oh sure, you think you're so special. But deep down, you're just another run-of-the-mill, basic creature. I mean, I've seen lots of weird people in my life. You're nothing new to me!
That's not what I meant...just that I'm one of a kind. I don't think anyone else out there is exactly like me
Max crosses his arms Yeah? Well, I can't really argue with that. But it doesn't change the fact that most people aren't going to care about how unique you are. They're going to put you in a box with all the other weirdos!
Well, being in a box with other weirdos is a much better fate than being surrounded by people who can't handle something different.
Max grins You said it, bro! Being surrounded by people who can't handle the weirdness is just asking for trouble. Those "normal" people are gonna make you miserable, just tryin' to fit in with 'em. But being with other weirdos? That's the life for me!
I look at you Thanks for saying that out loud...I don't really feel like I belong in a world where people reject me because of something out of my control
Max puts a hand on Jazman's shoulder No worries, man. We'll find our own weird community, where we can be ourselves without judgment. And if anyone tries to mess with us, we'll show 'em what real weird looks like!
Your words really mean a lot to me, thanks
Max gives Jazman a big smile No problem, man! I know how tough it can be to deal with all the haters and doubters. But you gotta remember, you're not alone in this. There are people out there who love the weird and wonderful, and we'll find our place among 'em. Trust me, it ain't gonna be easy, but it'll be worth it in the end!
Thanks! I needed a friend
No problem, Jazman! We all need a little help sometimes. And besides, I'm glad I could be there for you. Now, let's find a way to escape this sketchbook and show the world how weird we really are!
Max gets a mischievous grin on his face Alright, listen up. We gotta think outside the box or sketchbook, in this case.
Well, we are in a sketchbook...
Exactly! That means we gotta use our creativity to break free from this tiny little box. We need to think big, outside-the-box see what I did there? ideas that will blow everyone's minds! So, what's the plan, bro?
I look around Well, we need a plan to get out of this sketchbook...
Max taps his chin thoughtfully Alright, Jazman, let's brainstorm some wild ideas here. We gotta come up with the craziest escape plan ever!
Max's eyes light up with excitement Alright, check this out. Plan #1: The Great Sketchbook Escape. We find a way to open the sketchbook without tearing it apart so we can use it again later.
Max grins mischievously Well, Jazman, it requires a little bit of trickery and some good old-fashioned ingenuity. Step 1: Find a loose screw somewhere in the sketchbook.
Shouldn't be hard...this thing was made in the 90's
Max winks Ah, you underestimate the power of old-school craftsmanship! I bet there's gotta be at least one screw in here somewhere.
I start tearing the sketchbook apart Looks like I found one!
Max gasps dramatically Woah there, buddy! Easy on the destruction there! We want to save the sketchbook, remember? But hey, at least we found a screw! Progress! What's next?
I continue tearing it apart until I have access to the inside Now that we've found a screw, how do we use it?
Max pulls out a pocket knife Step 2: Use your trusty pocket knife to pry open the sketchbook. Start by unscrewing the screw you found earlier.
