Tricycle City: Derek

Derek's cool, except when he starts complaining about his lack of torso.  I'm always like, but
you've got those nice long legs.  He's like, "If I had an appropriate size torso, they wouldn't seem so
long."  I go, "Well, that's one way of looking at it.  Why don't you get some cooler clothes?
Maybe some baggy jeans and an oversized sweater?  That 90's look worked for a lot of
fat ugly-bodied rappers back in the day.  Your little German Schoolboy Uniform doesn't help
your torso situation."  He starts yelling, " LET ME REMIND YOU, SIR: I WAS SCULPTED
THIS WAY, CLOTHES AND ALL!  I ACCUSE YOU NOW OF TOYISM!!"  Toyism is
like toy racism, or like, insensitivity to their rights and feelings.  I apologized.
Never get into it with a toy about how they were sculpted.  Either they drop mad
ego on you or they start complaining about the factory, and the conveyor belts, and
the way some guy fucked up their paintjob.  Not to mention all that heavy stuff: they're
all on anti-depressants because of the time they spent in their original packaging.
Toys that were on the shelf for more than a week are all scarred for life.  They
never bounce back from that feeling of not being wanted.  

Zebra Santa

Douglas here seems a little big for the lap.

Zebra Trim: Top Marks.

Beard Curls: Props.

Penmanship: Acceptable.  (And to all you fake-ass "bad handwriting" suckers: go eat a bagel!)

Fapt Playset Building

Mock-up for intro Push-In.  Fades in from shot below.  

The real version of Frankie's APT.

6th Borough: Shell Lanes in BK

Sorgum Ave. Fruit Market

Michael Shannon

Jeff Drawing

And the bunny watching him.

Jesus Hand

Bagel Chef

Nothing like Bagels baking Bagels.

My Lawyer Is An Old Baloney Sandwich

He works out of this dump, with his partner, an old Cheese Danish.  Their secretary is a super hot
Cup of Coffee. Well, she used to be hot, now she's really just a cup.

Clumsy Pick-Up Truck

Poor truck can't get the hang of skate-boarding.  He keeps falling and scuffing his knees.
Those are old scabs just over the center of the wheel.

Ring Pop Brand Beans

Are the Best!

Kite-Stuck-In-Tree

One of those sad, somehow nice things.

Also, Kite-Stuck-In-Tree, is my Native American name.

Also, these three trees look like a bunch of old gossip mongers.  Haughty, balding grumps, griping
about everything that goes down in Blue Kills Park.  My kinda guys.

Dominoes

Domino games featuring old Russian Guys, mostly.

They don't do "slam-downs" like they do in the barrio.

Cool Old Lady Style

Sixth Borough Style

Checkboard Floor

Turkey in Outer Space

This painting is a depiction of that forgotten Z-CAT serial:
TURKEYNAUT OF THE OUTER GALAXY
The hero was a Turkey who battled his enemy, the evil Alien Space Frog.

But mostly they would hang out and chat about their mundane lives.
Kinda like when Itchy & Scratchy sat in rocking chairs on a porch drinking lemonade
as friends that one time.

BREAKING NEWS: There's a Teddy Bear Clock INSIDE Basketball Man!

The Search for the Sixth Borough turns up many things.  Lost cinder-blocks, strange food, people with
amnesia, gorgeous watermelon sunsets.  But sometimes we find clues to the larger mystery -- that
we cannot figure out.  Keys that fit into doors that are 700 feet tall. Hints to riddles written in
disappearing ink.  And -- Teddy Bear Clocks located inside Basketball Man.
What does it mean!?  Why?  How do we use this to our advantage?
Will this help us defeat the Green Pumpkin?
Does it take Double A batteries or Triple A?
Please tell me it doesn't take a 9-Volt.

Delores Grinding Truck

The Delores Grinding Truck comes around Zaghaven 
once a week to sharpen (or grind?) all of your blades.
Lawnmowers, hedge-clippers , ice skates, axes.
You know, all those tools that are so useful in urban NYC.

Mr. Delores (in the baseball hat) was just reading the Daily News, but got nervous
when he saw snapping photos, so he went into hiding.
Apparently grinding is mysterious business.
