A shabadoodle. |
It all started one lovely morning at Challenger Middle School, in 2011. Teresa and I were sitting in Mr. Foster's third period orchestra class, bored to death as he went around tuning everyone's violins. We turned to each other and started to talk about piffles, another imaginary creature that we had created sometime in 5th grade. Somehow the conversation turned to canned wontons and tofu. Do not question how.
We continued on our strange talks, until it happened. We came up with a creature, the shabadoodle. Now note, shabadoodles did not have any shape or form, until another day in 2012.
I was sitting in my math class, once again bored, and decided to doodle. Since we were learning about shapes at the time, I toyed around with different shapes until it happened.
I had drawn the very first shabadoodle known to man. I quickly ran over to Teresa as soon as the lunch bell rang, and shared my revelations with her.

Fast forward a year, and Teresa and I now have an entire sketchbook full of shabadoodles.
An introduction to some Shabadoodles will have to be saved for another time. As of now, we are currently on an indefinite hiatus regarding the continuation of the creation of more shabadoodles, but we hope to continue drawing them in the near future.

So those are the fascinating little creatures you told me about. This was an excellent, informative article of the evolution of a species in the making. Also a perfect example of creativity at its finest resulting from boredom.
