#78: Areo

Okay, guys. Long story short, I found a Chuck E.Cheese token from 2000 sitting on the floor of Target and now I'm lucky as a leprechaun. I don't want to jinx it, so all I'm saying is there was free T.G.I. Fridays food, a Stanley Cup win and Iron Man for 4 bucks on DIRECTV. I guess that wasn't very short. Oh well, here's my new character: Areo. Endless runner games are fun, addictive and occasionally Minion-themed. But one thing they also are is part of the Virtuallity, the video game dimension. One of these games happens to be Dashadizi and its star happens to be Areo, right-hand man of #69: SkyStar. Created by HoshiNoshiCo., this anime marathoner darts all over the Digitals Region, gaining coins and strangely never getting tired. これに触れることができない! That's Japanese for "can't touch this." (Google Translate, I hope you were right.)

What better way to celebrate the L.A. Kings winning the Cup than with a little dose of Arctic Eddy.

#76 & 77: Jostlewick & Spyser

"As of today, my comrades, the world is solemnly safe from strangeness, spookems and such." - Julius Spyser

                                 

Okay, it's the perfect time to blog since my sister-accomplice, Mustache Ninja, finished the school year and is now collapsed on the sofa, watching random shows with her stuffed dog Bucky. Here are my new characters: Jostlewick and Spyser, the founders of U.N.D.E.R.O.O. Back in October 1902, people ran in fright as amazin' mutant raisin Twimbley and the beard-sporting villain, Doctor Zedock, were locked in a duel at the St. Monocles Thingamajig Faire. Isaac Jostlewick, a marvelously moustached engineer, heard of the battle, as did U.S. general Julius Spyser. The two teamed up, assembled the soldiers, and high-tailed it to Missouri to handle the brouhaha. After Zedock got his rusty heine wooped and it was all said and done, the two decided that with these peculiar things out in the JC-Verse, the world needed protecting. So, on that day, the 'stache-y duo got together and founded the Universal Network Determining Events of Rather Odd Origins, beginning 112 years of future spy-iness. Hasta La Pasta, Gravity Falls is calling.

#75: The Magnificent Twimbley

Okay, here's my new character: The Magnificent Twimbley. Back in 1900, the gear-turning, top hat-wearing era we now call Steampunk was in full swing. But in St. Monocles, Missouri, a laboratory (I was gonna say "lab," but I'm going 1900s) was doing an experiment. One of the "IT'S ALIVE!" variety. The scientists took a raisin and injected it with toxic Ozotonium, then implanted DNA from the late katrillion-aire futurist Charles Gravenger -- and Yoda knows what else -- and EGAD! They got Twimbley. The sharp dressed mutant escaped the lab in a moustache-y flash, then traveled around the states, going on escapades and saying "By Jiminy!" a lot. He also happens to be distantly related to the California Raisins. How do I know that? Heard it through the grapevine.
