Epic Friday: Teddy is Taking me to School Today

By Matt Gajdoš

It’s Epic Friday! These days can be for fantasy comics or child-like wish fulfillment.  So today I wanted to draw a picture of something really cool – my childhood teddy bear growing giant and carrying me to school! (Actually this is a hybrid of my bear and my brother Mark’s bear.  His bear had a round body like this, but stubby legs.  My bear had long limbs, but a beat-up not-so-cute face.  So I took the best of both bears.)

Yes, that is a Crayola Crayon sky! It’s a color called “robin’s egg blue” from the 120-pack.  Back in my day, the alternatives to blue were cornflower and periwinkle, both of which sucked.  Today’s kids: you are lucky!

Have a great weekend, everybody! See you tomorrow for Weekend Kids #5!

  That’d be awesome if my teddy bear (Mr. Bear) would take me to college..Yeah the name for the bear isn’t original..but most names for stuff like that aren’t. Love the sky!

    Thanks! Mine is named “Old Chap” and my brother’s is “Teddy.” A big bear like that could crush traffic. So yeah, it’d be awesome
