The Misadventures With Cartoon Dog Part 1

That's right. That's right! It's time for the debut of the newest member of the Cartoon Rob community. Oh yeah, Cartoon Dog. This feisty little pup came from out of nowhere and immediately shook up Cartoon Rob's universe. Below is the first encounter between the two beloved characters.

Activity Book

Remember when Cartoon Rob started out as a collection of puzzles and other activities? Yea, it was gonna be like an activity book or something. Well the reason that idea was scraped is it simply wasn't a very good idea. I mean sure, some of the puzzles were funny, but they were funny because of the drawing. So soon after the puzzle idea was gone, it was just drawings that took the Activity Book's place. What follows is all of the pages made for the planed Activity Book. Once again, it was a bad idea to begin with. I'm willing to admit that now.

 


I'm quite fond of the maze and Color by Numbers. Why would Cartoon Rob ride a skateboard? Silly.

The Many Adventures Part 4

This will conclude the next chapter in the ever growing, ever expanding, ever demanding Cartoon Rob saga. Here you will find the underwhelming finale to The Many Adventures of Cartoon Rob. Contained inside is the introduction of a new hat for Cartoon Vin, the birth of a possible catchphrase and the return of a helicopter. Here it ends, check it out.

The end of The Many Adventures of Cartoon Rob might seem odd and lack luster, but give me a minute to explain. While the idea of collecting the little shorts together into one big story was exciting, it was also very challenging. For the longest time the collection had no real connections between the stories. To fix this problem, panels were made to suggest ties between each event. For example, after Cartoon Rob rides a cow, he and Cartoon Vin hear the ice cream man. To connect these two stories, a panel was made in which Cartoon Rob gets a hankering for ice cream due to him having just ridden the cow. Loose, but a thread none the less. Connections were created between most of the stories, but what was the point? The point came in the form of the idea that The Many Adventures of Cartoon Rob takes place over the course of a day. The story starts with what turns out to be a crazy dream. When Cartoon Rob wakes up from the dream, the day begins. Many things happen to him during the day, including riding a cow and stabbing his friend. After Cartoon Rob escapes from the cage, he comments it's very late in the evening. The next panel shows him waking up the next morning, which happens to be Monday. The idea was everything prior had happened on Sunday and when he went to work nothing exciting happened. Now Cartoon Rob cannot just have a normal job, hence the helicopter rescue he and Cartoon Tom run. But throughout the last few panels, Cartoon Rob is very tired from all the excitement from the previous day and not very much happens. So the decision to end on an odd note might have been misguided, but at least there was a reason behind it.

Does it make sense? Nah, probably not. But whatever, it's just a cartoon am I right.

The Many Adventures Part 3

This will continue the next chapter in the ever growing, ever expanding, ever demanding Cartoon Rob saga. Here you will find a section of the main story that is actually pretty important. The section started out as a few different shorts that were going no where. Then the epiphany happened. Suddenly, the shorts all connected together and became one story. This lead to looking at some other shorts that were already created. After a little glue and tape were applied, The Many Adventures of Cartoon Rob was born. Now the shorts came together and could act as parts of a larger story. It was a pretty exciting thing. Also, this section contains one of my personal favorite drawings ever. See if you can figure out which one it is. It'll be like a game. How exciting. Here it is, check it out.

There it is, a few fantastic panels wrapped around a bunch of nonsense. If you only take one thing away from this, let it be that Cartoon Robzilla panel. Man do I like that drawing.

The Many Adventures Part 2

This will continue the next chapter in the ever growing, ever expanding, ever demanding Cartoon Rob saga. In this section of The Many Adventures, you will see our hero accomplish goals and form a rivalry. A rivalry that will, in fact, inform many things to come. Also, I'm pretty sure this section marks two important firsts. The first non-human character and the first non-stick figure character. Just so happens they are the same character. The cow. Oh yeah that's right, Cartoon Cow is about to appear. Here it is, check it out.

Yeah, violent turn at the end there. But don't worry, Cartoon Rob and Cartoon Vin are still friends in the next upcoming panels... or are they?!?!!? Dun Dun Dunnnnn.
Next time - Be amazed that Cartoon Rob's mustache has grown back already.
