Bumpy Planet



Before its destruction during the Filop Wars, Wabulix was known throughout the Smythe Galaxy as one of the bumpliest tropical planets. The ground was covered in colorful bumples and the planet is divided into 13 continents (called Bumplewhips). Each Bumplewhip was covered in different colored bumples which could clearly be seen from high above by space travelers. Wabulix was a popular tropical getaway for inhabitants of the snowy planets that lie in the outer reaches of the Smythe Galaxy (Such as Shiverton 5, Shiverton 4 and also SamuSamu Land).

This picture is thought to be a depiction of Wabulixian scientist Trovy Pecal Igstilviklapklapklap. Dr. Trovy was credited with several inventions used throughout the galaxy such as the Huffle Puff, the Frumpington Pup and the Nuffer Puff. He also invented the Microsonic Hyperponic Deathylaser, an invention which many historians say led to the planet's destruction.

This picture was purchased by a tourist and is one of the last known Wabulixian art works in the entire Smythe Galaxy. It is part of the Smiterion Collection and can be viewed at the Museum of Planets Past in SamuSamu Land. However, this piece is currently on loan to the Cade Gallery, in Phoenix Arizona, a small, deserty metropolis in the primitive MIlky Way Galaxy.

In Space, no one can hear your jump rope songs.




I found this drawing at an imaginary estate sale in the Westwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. This is a drawing of Russian Astronaut Jacoby Denisovich.

In the early 1970's the Soviet Union launched a secret space shuttle (Utkanos) into space. The mission was to try out various children's games in zero gravity to see if they were more fun, less fun , or the same amount of fun as when performed on Earth.

Hula hooping, yoyoing and jump rope proved to be "Much more fun" while multiple attempts at playing Jacks and Twister proved unsuccessful and nearly resulted in the death of Mr. Denisovich.

This was the first and only Russian mission to employ an on-board illustrator who captured the tests in ink and watercolor. Illustrator Zlatina Velasko defected to the United States shortly after returning from space. This illustration was the only one that she was able to smuggle out, the rest remain stored in the Kremlin's top secret "vault of illustrations and children's drawings".

Someday I hope that the information is released and scientists around the world can better understand the varied fun-ness of playing different children's games while floating high above the Earth.

What game would you like to play in space?
