I storytimed the entirety of Patty Cake by Scott Roberts this year (well the single issues at least, had no idea there was more stuff beyond that sans the Nick Magazine) and I figured I might as well do a rerun of the Halloween issue if I could squeeze it in
Bump if you're reading

ok
And that's thatThanks for the bumpI wanna also do a rerun of Amelia Rules! #3 but I'm currently just waiting for Gownley to drop the next issue of G-Ville/Tanner Rocks!, wait if that one Anon decides to storytime it, and if they do storytime the issue in that thread if I could make it
>>146138368cool, perfect Halloween story to reread.
Oh yeah by the wayIn case anyone was wondering earlier what I meant by earlier, there were a couple of Patty Cake short stories in Caliber's monthly anthology Negative BurnI was on the fence of storytiming those here but I'll probably make its own separate storytime in November but if I don't, I'll be sure to storytime those if/when I do a rerun of the Christmas special in DecemberThere were also short, one page comics that were serialized in the Comics Buyer's Guide but unfortunately, those haven't been scanned
You know whatScrew it, I have time and it shouldn't take too long so I'll do them nowFrom Negative Burn #45

>Patty Cake is your typical little girl. She likes her cartoons. She adores her sugary cereal. She fights with her big sister. She has an arch enemy! Creator Scott Roberts' Patty Cake is your average kid living in the world and trying to find her place. In the Slave Labor series Patty Cake and Friends, she struggles with all sorts of problems that most seven year olds face. "The story style is a mix of broad comedy and nostalgia-though childhood isn't always happy times," says Roberts. "That's very much evident in the book. It's emotionally honest, while hopefully funny.">Funny is something that's easy with Roberts imaginative cast. "Patty-Cake Bakerman is the central character. She's feisty and opinionated, definitely not shy," he says fondly as one would talk about his or her own child. "Her friends include Irving, a naive five year old; Keith, Irving's noisy and nosy ten year old brother; Jose, Keith's friend; Susie McBee, Patty's nemesis - an obnoxious little kid; and of course, Patty-Cake's family; her gruff but softy dad, her extremely no-nonsense mom, and her sullen, moody 13 year old sister Sandy. Also the bully Kevin Longo, and Patty's favorite babysitter, the folksinging Janine-Jean Jade.">These realistic characters initially came from a simple notion that Roberts had when he was nine-years-old. "I liked the idea of character named Patty-Cake Bakerman. As far as turning it into the comic book it is now, I looked at the comics market and saw how much of it was serious, epic, continuity stuff. Sort of the fallout of the Star Wars generation," he explains. "I wanted to do something different. In a field as narrowly focused as comics had allowed itself to become, being different could mean simply going back to a genre that had been tossed aside and ignored. Well, there hadn't been much in the way of kid oriented comics since Little Lulu and Sugar & Spike were folded. So I decided to go that way."http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/june01/indy_0601.shtml
>>146139229I fucking love Sandy's shit eating grin here
>>146138588>>146138602I know he only showed up two times in the comics but I really like Mr. Dolphus as a character (granted that first appearance was one of the more somber stories in the series purely through implication and even then, you'd have to believe he was innocent)Captures the whole "That one adult you knew grewing up who went through personal baggage that you were too young to grasp and too distant to understand" kind of feel
