FADE IN.
INT. APARTMENT-DAY
BOB ANDERSON, a male 30-something overweight hippie, is drawing on his drawing board. We see Bob drawing panels for a comic book called “Winged Warriors”.
The panels he’s drawing are of a building on fire and people screaming in fear. On the TV in Bob’s apartment, a news flash appears on the screen and we see a building on fire and people screaming on the news.
Bob pulls out another piece of paper and draws a thunder storm and then it starts to rain outside after he finishes the drawing.
GENE WILLIAMS, a male 50-something businessman, enters Bob’s apartment and he just come out of the rain outside so his clothes are wet. Bob stops drawing for a moment and swings his chair around to greet Gene.
GENE
Morning Bob.
BOB
Oh hey Gene.
GENE
That’s Mr. Williams to you. Are the pages done yet?
BOB
Almost. The latest issue of Winged Warriors will be done by tomorrow.
GENE
I want them done today. Now get to work. Anyway I have to return to the office.
Gene is about to leave but Bob gets up and blocks the door.
BOB
Mr. Williams. Did you lay off artists this week?
Gene sighs and then sits down on Bob’s couch as Bob gets back to his drawing board.
GENE
Again Bob, you’re job is safe but it’s just the comic book industry is in a slump and...
Bob lights up a cigar and continues to draw.
BOB
Just wanted to make sure my job was safe. You’re free to go.
GENE
Thanks for being so understanding. Well, back to the office I go.
BOB
Maybe next time bring an umbrella, Gene. You’re soaked.
GENE
The forecast didn’t say it would rain today but I guess it did. Anyway just finish those pages, Bob.
Gene exits as Bob starts drawing a picture of Gene being picked up by a Winged Warrior Birdman. We look out the window to see Gene being scooped up by a Winged Warrior Birdman as Gene screams in fear. Bob then laughs. Bob starts to draw a picture of a coffee maker and after he finishes the drawing we hear a ding from Bob’s coffee maker.
BOB
That’s for being an asshole Gene.
Bob gets up to get a cup of coffee and then walks back to his drawing board. Bob drinks his coffee and smokes his cigar at the same time. Bob draws a picture of himself with a beautiful female superhero named SWEET JUSTICE, a 20-something blonde female superhero, and Bob gets excited. We soon he a knock on the door after Bob finish drawing his picture. Bob goes to answer the door and its Sweet Justice.
SWEET JUSTICE
Hey sexy man. Want to make out?
Bob lets Sweet Justice in but before they could start making out, a male superhero named CAPTAIN WILD, a male 20-something bodybuilder type with a mohawk, enters by breaking through Bob’s window.
CAPTAIN WILD
Sweet Justice! How could you?
SWEET JUSTICE
Captain Wild, I can explain...
CAPTAIN WILD
Enough! Time for your fat lover to die!
Bob jumps up from the couch and rushes over to his drawing board but before he gets there, Captain Wild destroys Bob’s drawing board.
Captain Wild continues to chase Bob around his apartment when Sweet Justice punches Captain Wild in the face and they start to brawl. Bob during their brawl rushes to get a pen and paper. Bob starts drawing a blue rock and suddenly a blue rock appears in Bob’s hand.
Bob walks over towards Captain Wild and Sweet Justice while pointing the blue rock in front of them. Captain Wild and Sweet Justice stop fighting and start vomiting.
CAPTAIN WILD
Oh no, my only weakness! The Blue Rock of Reza. Please get rid of it so we won’t die.
BOB
Only if you both leave my apartment. Now.
Captain Wild and Sweet Justice teleport away as Bob’s apartment is a mess. Bob sighs and starts to clean up the apartment. After cleaning his apartment to the best of his ability, Bob tries to draw a picture of a pizza but then stops midway through and pulls out a cellphone.
BOB
Nah, I’ll just order a pizza the old fashion way. Today was crazy enough as it is.
Bob grabs a menu from a local pizza place and orders it on his cellphone.
CUT TO.
EXT. MOUNTAIN TOP-DAY
Gene is in a nest that belongs to the Winged Warrior Birdman and he’s shaking in fear. Suddenly before the Winged Warrior Birdman could eat Gene, Captain Wild and Sweet Justice rescue Gene.
GENE
Oh thank God. I’m saved.
Captain Wild throws Gene off the mountain top as Sweet Justice and Winged Warrior Birdman join Captain Wild in flight. As Gene is falling off the mountain, we see a portal appear and Gene falls into it.
CUT TO.
INT. APARTMENT-DAY
Bob is drawing on a coffee table.
BOB
I can’t believe Captain Wild destroyed my only drawing board. It’ll take me forever to afford another one.
Bob grunts and we hear his doorbell rings.
BOB
Pizza’s here.
Bob answers the door but sees Captain Wild, Sweet Justice and Winged Warrior Birdman standing there. The three heroes enter Bob’s apartment as he starts to plea for his life.
Before the superheroes could kill Bob, the pizza delivery man shows up and Captain Wild grabs the pizza box. Captain Wild pays the pizza delivery man as Sweet Justice and Winged Warrior Birdman grab slices of the pizza.
BOB
Are you guys going to kill me?
CAPTAIN WILD
Nah, we’ve forgiven you Bob. We’re just going to take you pizza and go.
BOB
What!
Captain Wild and Sweet Justice fly out the window while eating Bob’s pizza. Winged Warrior Birdman follows behind them holding a bottle of orange soda.
Bob sighs and sits back down at his coffee table. Bob lights up another cigar and begins to draw again.
BOB
Looks like leftovers again.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
What will happen next for Bob the comic book artist who can draw into the future? Will Captain Wild and Sweet Justice stay together? Will the Winged Warriors like orange soda? Tune in next week to...
BOB
No! There won’t be a next time. After this is issue I’m retiring from the industry.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
But what will you do with your magic pen that gave you your phenomenal powers?
BOB
Hmmm.
Bob pulls out his laptop and pulls up eBay. Bob lists the magical pen for sale on eBay.
CUT TO.
EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE-DAY
On a door step we see a package being dropped off. LENNY, a teenage nerdy male, picks up the package and starts to open it. Lenny opens it and takes out a pen and original artwork from Bob.
LENNY
Wow Bob Anderson’s pen and original artwork too! I can’t wait to start drawing with this.
Lenny goes back inside and we see hovering in the sky about Lenny’s house Captain Wild and Sweet Justice.
CAPTAIN WILD
Looks like the pen has a new owner.
SWEET JUSTICE
So Captain Wild, when should we make our move?
CAPTAIN WILD
Soon Sweet Justice soon.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Oh the humanity! Young Lenny is doomed! But can he figure the pen’s secret before it’s too late or...
SWEET JUSTICE
I have a strange feeling that Lenny just wants to make out with me.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Ewww, hopefully Lenny won’t do that.
CAPTAIN WILD
Don’t worry, he will. Lenny’s a horny teenager and once he figures out the pen’s power he’ll...
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
Ewww, just stop it. But what happened to Gene Williams, the editor in chief of Giant Comics?
Captain Wild and Sweet Justice grin.
CUT TO.
EXT. DARK CAVE-NIGHT
Gene walks through the cave being followed by creepy monsters. Gene is visibly scared as he walks.
GENE
At least I didn’t die. Yet.
In the background we hear In The Hall of The Mountain King plays as the creepy monsters start to attack Gene.
Gene screams as the creepy monsters take him further down in the cave as In The Hall of The Mountain King plays louder in the background.
ANNOUCER (V.O.)
Poor Gene. Well this concludes The Adventures of Bob the Artist who can draw into the Future. Even though it was a magical pen that gave Bob his powers. And now Lenny has that pen.
GENE (O.S.)
This is horrible.
ANNOUCER (V.O.)
Oh no! What are those creepy monsters doing to Gene? We’ll never know I guess. And the moral of this story...I honestly don’t know. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Gene is being forced to dance by the creepy monsters. If Gene stops dancing he is whipped by one of the creepy monsters.
GENE
Please can I stop dancing? My feet are killing me.
The creepy monster continues to whip Gene and Gene continues to dance. Beethoven Symphony Number 9 plays in the background as Gene dances.
