THIS WILL CONFUSE MOST OF YOU. I only uploaded this because I feel I did a good job on it, and I don't expect most of you to understand this.

I'm in the 9th grade. In our school, Us little fweshmen are required to read a book called "Fahrenheit 451". For those of you who haven't read this book, it's about a guy named... Guy Montag. He's a fireman, and the setting seems to take place sometime in the future, where houses are fire proof, and TVs talk back to you, and Happiness is the most important thing. No one should ever wonder, or ask "what if", or imagine anything more than what they have. This futureistic world is set up to be the perfect world, where everyone THINKS they're happy. In this country, future of the US, books are illegal. and if you're ever caught with books... the orange Salamander team of Firemen come and burn your house and the books. and you are inprisoned. Why are books illegal? The people who read them will be asking "what if", and start wishing for more. Eventually they'll be come unhappy, not being able to get what they wish for. Happiness is dire.

Well, enough about the story. our English Teacher told us to make a comic, at least 5 panels long, of any scene within the first 2 parts. (they're called parts, but you may know them as really long chapters) This is my favorite scene in the book that I've read so far. This is where Montag (Guy, they just call him Montag in the book all the time ¬¬'') Shows Mildred, his wife his secret stash of books in the air vent. I was going to use Skye and Pixl for this comic, but I couldn't remember how to draw Pixl's outfit.... I couldn't use Eman, cause he's so damn tall he wouldn't need to stand up on the chair 0_o So I used Tod and Zen in the place of Guy and Mildred.

Hopefully you people aren't confused now. XD I used Tod and Zen as Guy and Mildred... and they're married. o______O ME AND TOD MARRIED OMG. INSANITYYYY....

I spent all day yesterday trying to finish it by bed time. I'm very proud of this, so I was almost spazz matic making sure my teacher was careful with it... ;__; She made me put color into it this morning... poo. Now it looks funny.... I like black and white better. -__- ANYWHO, hope you guys like it! :D

UGH I know.... @-x It was so evil, good thing I scanned the good version before I went to bed... :D the only colors I used was the irken skin, gold for my name tag and the book, and purple for Tod and I. @-x it looks bad now.... But I think she's gonig to hang it up. My teacher had other older comics up on the wall, so maybe I'll be up there too. :3 Everyone at school loved my picture... ^___^ I'm getting recongition for my art! :D!
:iconparaphrase:
I get it.

*nods sagely*

Actually, I'm mostly impressed with your ability to convey the scene so well.

Still... Zen should have had a flame thrower. *nods*
