Ticklish Halloween Scarecrow

In Paw Valley there is a community set up "Haunted Farm House" set up every Halloween and the proceeds go to charity. They wanted a scarecrow on the path through the cornfield leading up to the house. Lester volunteered to do that job spooking kids on the way there. However, a couple of Tickle Beavers noticed that the scarecrow was actually a living bunny tied up to the post to scare passersby.

Floyd, dressed as a pirate, said to Lester, "Oh, what a scary scarecrow!"

Then Ed, dressed up as a vampire commented, "You know, it must be pretty uncomfortable wearing those tight shoes you have on."

"He'd certainly be more comfortable barefoot, wouldn't he?" replied Floyd.

Lester gasped, knowing what the beavers were up to, "I need these shoes, their part of the costume! I....Oh, No!....Wah! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Floyd just removed Lester's right shoe and began tickling his now exposed barefoot with a head of wheat, putting him into a state uncontrollable laughter, while Ed began untying his left shoe!

Believe in Tickling Magic

Lester volunteers for Walter's magic trick, but soon finds himself in a ticklish situation with a Tickle Beaver!

This is an image that I created for possible product uses, like t-shirts and mugs, is it good? I added the light blue color for the background to add contrast here, but I also have a transparent background that I would use for products.

This Land is Your Land

After I made my 4th of July drawing, only a little more than a month and a half from this post, I recorded many patriotic songs on to my phone from Rhapsody and my favorite was "This Land is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie. 

I just love the song because it describes America in a beautiful way, it includes redwood forest, diamond deserts, fog lifting, and it is just so fun and inclusive. It's what America is supposed to be!

So in honor of this song, I decided to make a drawing about and how my bear, Rusty, is describing all of this to his friends. It's just a cute symbolic picture that describes some of the best physical elements of America.

It goes like this:

This land is your land, This land is my land,
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and Me.

As I went a-walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
All around me a voice was a-sounding;
This land was made for you and me.

The Werewolf and The Easter Bunny

Bullard the Werewolf got hungry the night before Easter and decided that he wanted some of that candy that the bunnies store away so he broke into one of the many storage rooms that had candy, baskets, and stuffed toy Easter Bunnies. Well, one bunny was about to get started on his run, came in the storage room first then turned on the light to find Bullard eating some of the candy and leaving a mess on the floor! 8D

The Easter Bunny and the Glow Eggs

Burlingame Bunny loved his job of painting easter eggs, but he wanted to do something different so in the lab of his room he created glow in the dark paints. After he did this it got pretty warm in his lab so he took a basket, his new glow paint, and several eggs and decided to paint outside under the stars and see the immediate effect of the paint to make his new glow eggs! 8D

Blackjack in a Ticklish Situation!

It turns out that Blackjack O'Hare managed to find one of the Infinity Stones and decided that he could make a lot of money by selling it to either the Collector or Thanos. Rocket heard Blackjack talking about it in a bar in an orbiting space station. Rocket was with his girlfriend Lylla at the time and he questioned Blackjack if he had the stone on him and he told them that he didn't and that it was hidden. When Rocket asked, while pointing a gun, Blackjack where the stone was hidden he refused to tell them while claiming that even the threat of death wouldn't be enough to get the location of the stone away. Blackjack then pulled out his own guns, but Lylla jumped Blackjack from behind and they both grabbed blackjack and took him on a spaceship that they were using at the time that even came with titanium stocks so they could handle anyone that gave them problems. Rocket though that a bit of pain would get Blackjack to reveal the location of the infinity stone. Lylla thought that would be too harsh and unnecessary, she knew of Blackjack's biggest weakness and told Rocket that she would like to try that first. Blackjack had no idea what was about to happen to him "Whatever you guys try is going to fail, you'd better off just letting me go. You can't get it out of me!" Rocket shot back at Blackjack "Oh, well get it out of you, we have a plan!" 

Rocket and Lylla both approached Blackjack's bound and exposed feet. "What are you going to do?" said Blackjack confidently. "Are you going to beat the information out of me? I'm sure your Lylla wouldn't allow it, she has morals don't you know?" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "It wont be necessary to cause you pain, I know your secret!" Blackjack rolled his eyes "Yeah right, you have no idea where the stone is. That reverse psychology wont work on me, I'll never tell!" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "That's not the secret that I meant." Rocket pulled out a yellow feather "I heard from Lylla that you are ticklish. Now are you ready to talk?" 

Blackjack gulped and started quivering "Heh, that ain't gonna work." he said nervously. "You're wasting your time, just let me go!" Blackjack started pulling and tugging at his hand restraints and his feet sticking out of the stocks, while even his big toes were tied to keep his feet from escaping the coming torture. "This is going to be fun!" stated Rocket as he began moving the feather along the sole of Blackjack's right bare foot. Blackjack wiggled and squirmed while moving his head back and forth. A grin soon appeared on the dark bunny's face as he was trying to hold it all in, but then he burst into crazed laughter! "Wah! HA! HA!HA!HA! HA! HA! STOP!" Rocket grinned at Blackjack's humorous torture "I will, if you tell me the location of the stone." "NEVER! HA! HA! HA! HA! PLEASE STOP! HA! HA! HA! HA! I WONT TE! HE! HA! HA! HA! TELL YOU! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Lylla thought the site of the situation was so humorous that she couldn't resist joining in the fun and began tickling Blackjack's left foot with her finger. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! PL PLEASE, HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! You! YOU GUYS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Rocket smiled sinisterly "That's the whole idea, my friend!

This continued for several minutes as Blackjack had to consider what he wanted more, the money that he would get if he sold the stone or the endless tickling that he would have to endure if he didn't tell them. He knew they wouldn't actually free him if he kept the location of the stone a secret anyway. So, after several minutes of putting up with a torture that he could no longer tolerate, he gave in. Rocket and Lylla got the infinity stone and kept it from falling into the wrong hands while after Blackjack had the biggest laugh of his life! 8D

Rocket Raccoon Needs a Cure!

This was done as a protest on how Brian Michael Bendis has been portraying Rocket Raccoon in the first 3 issues of the newly revived Guardians of the Galaxy comic books by Marvel Comics. Me and many fans didn't understand what was going through Rocket's head lately. Instead of being the nice guy heroic gun slinging raccoon that we all knew from both his creator Bill Mantlo and later from the Guardian's last comic from DnA, Rocket came out as a crazed psychopath. There may be hope that Rocket is already getting better after reading issue #4 of The Guardians of the Galaxy so I'm sticking with the comic for now.

This is a story to go with this drawing:
After it has been found out that Rocket Raccoon has totally lost his mind his friend, and former enemy, Blackjack O'Hare brought Rocket back to his home world, Halfworld, which is used to treat the mentally ill, and cure Rocket of Bendisitis! Both Blackjack, Lylla, and the rest of his friends want to bring Rocket back from his state of insanity. But I do have faith that he will recover!
