Across The Multiverse Productions: Sabrina The Animated Series(Cancelled)

Chapter 5: The Senses-Shatter Destroying Adventure of Captain Harvtastic

The next week, we were in art class. AKA the only class I get anything lower than a 'A' in, unless you count my creativity in my drawings, then I get a 'A-'. I usually get a 'C+' at most for my drawings. That's why I more of a writer than a artist.

"Remember class, these are action paintings. I want to feel active movement. Forced, dynamic energy. Very nice, Sabrina." Mr. Layer praised. "Thanks Mr. Layer." Sabrina said. Yes, this is one of the few classes where Sabrina is better than me, sort of.

"Ooh, a kangaroo. What are you, Smellman? Four years old?" Gem asked sarcastically. "Funny, I thought that's your IQ, Gem." I whispered to her. "Don't be silly, Aaron darling." Gem said while I mentally vomit from the recent encounter with Scheherazade.

"Check out my creation. And see how the big kids paint." Gem told us as we saw her painting. It was a velociraptor that looked vicious. "Seems like a school yard bully." I commented as Gem walked away. Sabrina looked left and right to make sure that no one was around.

"Ahh!" Sabrina said as she ran to her painting and use magic to bring her kangaroo to life, having it beat up Gem's painting. "Sabrina, that's not how you do things." I told Sabrina, who looked down at her shoes. "Not without this." I said with a smirk as I use magic to 'enhance' Gem's painting by adding another life.

"Aaron, where did this mean streak came from?" Sabrina asked with a smirk. "Just be thankful that you're not the one getting that treatment." I said as the kangaroo came back to Sabrina's painting, just as Gem came back to it with Mr. Layer.

"I don't know Gem. This painting doesn't seem to be very active to me. Also, do you have any self-esteem issues you want to talk to someone about?" Mr. Layer asked Gem. "What?! No!" Gem said before seeing the painting. It showed the velociraptor knocked out, with her next to it. Gem groaned in despair while Sabrina and I high fived at that.

"How's it going, Harv?" Mr. Layer asked. Yes, even teachers called Harvey by that. "Hey, now that's really good." Mr. Layer said. "It just a dumb character I doodled sometimes." Harvey said modesty. "Really, Harv? Because that looks like it could be a great comic book character." I told him, coming up next to him.

"Really Aaron?" Harvey asked. "Yeah, so what's his name?" I asked. "Captain Harvtastic. I've been writing some stories too." Harvey said as he pulled out two comic books he made from his pant pockets. He hand one to Mr. Layer and the other to me.

"You drew this whole comic book?" Mr. Layer asked as Harvey nodded. "Harv, this is good. Much better than the dark and edgy stuff Marvel and DC have these days." I told Harvey. "Really, you think so?" Harvey asked. "I know so." I said with a thumbs up.

"Harv, you are one mysterious dude! I didn't know you were such a good comic book artist." Sabrina praised Harvey. "Neither did I." Mr. Layer said as he turned the page. "Yeah, but I don't draw hands well. My coloring's sloppy. And the lettering..." Harvey began in self doubt.

"Nonsense! This is wonderful work. You know I still read comic books." Mr Layer said. "You do?" Harvey asked. "Mm hmm. As a matter of fact, there a comic book convention this weekend at the Civic Center. With a very special guest." Mr. Layer said, giving a brochure to Harvey.

"King Kirby?! He's my all time favorite comic book artist. He's created Sargeant Asphalt, Jerry Smasher, Corn Act The Hunted, The Incredible Earth Force!" Harvey said with Mr. Layer at the end of the end. "What about Stan Lee?" I asked. "He's my second favorite comic book artist." Harvey said.

"King Kirby sponsored a training program for young comic book artists. I think that program would be the perfect way for you to nurtured that talent of yours." Mr. Layer said, giving Harvey back the comic. "Me, take lessons from King Kirby? Sweet!" Harvey said.
