Announcing: The Adventures of Aqubat and Friends

Dear Wal,

First of all.
I think I'm going to cry.
I CAN'T FIND THE EQUESTRIAN OLYMPICS ANYWHERE! WHYYYYY CRUEL WORLD! WHYYYYY!
Okay. I'm done now.
Who is Aquabat? This is a very long, amusing story. Watson came to school one day with this Aqualad (Young Justice Aqualad) toy from Wendy's. She had a Kid Flash toy. She later brought me a Batman toy, which I was extremely pleased with. (His cape goes up when you press the bat on his chest. It's adorable.) And these two sort of lived on my desk for a while. Fungus sits next to me, so of course he would play with them constantly. Usually it was flying Batman around making rrrrrrrrrmmmm noises and making him fight Aqualad. Aqualad always lost. We eventually developed a theory to explain this.
From left to right: Aquabat, Batman & Minibat
Anyway, after that I added a robotic T-Rex and a little T-Rex hatching out of an egg to my desk. Aqualad was always getting stomped by the big T-Rex and/or eaten by the little one. Somehow Aqualad ended up with an eraser for a fist. Finally one day we got into some conversation-I don't even remember what it was-and ended up dubbing Aqualad Aquabat. I made him a cape out of a piece of paper. After that it was always Batman who got eaten/stomped, and Aquabat rode the big dino. This brings us to the aforementioned theory. Batman always won because he had the cape. Then Aqualad got a cape, and he started winning. (Actually, it was more along the lines of them being really hard to put in the dino's mouths when they had capes. And plus Aquabat fit perfectly on the dino.)
Then Adam brought this little blue ball to school one day and gave it to me. Inside it was a tiny version of Batman. He was instantly dubbed Minibat. He fits in the mouth of the big T-Rex perfectly so that he looks like a tongue. What can I say, we get bored. Over a period of a few months, Aquabat acquired a wizard hat (Made out of a maliable eraser.) and a staff (Made out of a straightened out paper clip.). Then he became Aquabat the Wizard of Justice.
And that's where Aquabat came from. Now that you know the story, I can finally get to the main subject of this post which is that I've decided to make a comic strip out of Aquabat. It's probably going to be terrible, but it's going to be funny anyway. There are gangster dinos. Aquatic gangster dinos.
I warn you, I suck at drawing people. Even cartoony people. (I haven't exactly decided what style this is going to be drawn in...)

P.S. Been doing...German...all day...going to...die...

P.P.S. I wrote this on Thursday. Stuff has been insane. German III ended on Friday. Then I started getting a rash from the medicine I was taking for the poison ivy. But I found the equestrian olympics.
