Alan was supposedly bored, and wanted to animate/draw. He really liked drawing stickmen, partially because it was easy to draw/animate, but it was a bit bland to look at, unfortunately.

Although, when he thought he was just gonna have a long evening, lounging around drawing, he started to draw first, a red stickman. And then a yellow, and a blue, and a green.

He was about to erase them, when suddenly, one of the latters started to walk, and move away from the eraser. It was the yellow stickman, it started to inch away from the eraser, Alan then (still amazed) proceeded to move his pen towards the green one. But when it was an inch away, the latter bent over and started to poke the eraser, as if he knew it was there.

Alan then thought he was hallucinating. Perhaps, if I go and drink some coffee, it'll be back to normal again. But it didn't.

He tried every other way, like the lasso tool, but then he awakened the blue and red ones.
They started to scratch their heads in confusion, and started running around, the blue one causing the bucket tool to fall, and paint the whole canvas red, which made the red stickman invisible.

Alan was shocked. How could drawings, from a canvas, move around and interact with the tools?!?! He wasn't prepared for this, but he tried to catch the green one by drawing a square around him. The latter started to yelp, then, proceeded to push the lines with all his might, but it didn't work. That's when the blue one heard his cries, grabbed the eraser from the tool section, and erased a small hole, enough for the green latter to get out immediately.

All Alan wanted was too just keep them from moving, and go to sleep.
But he couldn't.

Through the night, Alan tried everything to stop them, but they didn't.

That's when Alan had an idea.
