Some people never left the playground. :O

Today, I planned, designed and created my own graphic novel, based around one of the Spongebob Squarepants episodes 'Survival of the idiots!'. I altered the plot quite a lot to make it my own piece, but still kept it vaguely in line with what happened in that episode. I tried wording things the way Spongebob and Patrick would speak, so it seemed as real as possible. I used the program 'Comic Life' which helps you create graphic novels by providing you with 'Blam!' fonts, layouts (which you can customise), different types of speech bubbles, and other comic book related stuff. :D
