Notes
“It’s Still a Pretty Thing”
Young Henry Stanley gazes out the giant picture window and watches the landscape of the Earth below slowly rotate past as Henry’s homeship orbits along with it…
He tries to imagine what life would have been like down there; having been raised on one of the several city-sized ships that now house humanity, he has never actually set foot on ‘real’ ground.
The idea of walking on a planet is quite foreign to him, actually, and while he’s seen movies of it actually seeming commonplace, it’s still hard to wrap his mind around it. It almost seems primitive.
After a planet-wide salting of the Earth by the Robots during the final stages of the 3rd to last nuclear war (with the last nuclear war being one nuclear war too many), the planet ultimately died and what was left of humanity had to take shelter in enormous spaceships that orbited the Earth, safely out of range of the massive radiation that had seeped into the Earth’s core.
Staring down below, though, Henry thinks to himself— even though the Earth’s atmosphere is poison, the land toxic, and its not capable of supporting life for many millions of years longer… the Earth is still a pretty thing.
From far enough away.

Notes
“The Post-Funpocalypse”
(A Classique Doodle from 10/18/2011)In the months leading up to the apocalypse, people sure seemed to be making it sound like a big deal… but now that it has happened, Brian Hawkins doesn’t get why there was such a fuss. What the heck were they worried about? The apocalypse is awesome.
Still grinning from ear to ear since his dad let him put in the final head-shots to kill the Nuclear Mutants they just came across as they navigate the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Earth, Brian steps back mentally for a moment and reflects on the wonder of it all— out on the open road, less people to deal with, adventure every dang day… he’s even already killed 17 men and mutants and he’s only 9 years old… that’s almost 2 for each year he’s been alive! That’s so cool!
Plus, since clean drinking water is so scarce, his mom isn’t bugging him about taking a bath. She didn’t survive the apocalypse, of course, so she isn’t around to bug him even if there WAS enough water, but still. And last week when scavenging through a pile of rotting corpses, he found a real Indian arrow-head necklace!
The best part, though, is now he finally gets to spend time with his papa… before the apocalypse, dad was always in the office working, traveling; Brian hardly saw him. But now that the rest of his family is dead, he gets all the father and son bonding time a boy could ever hope for.
It just feels nice.
The post-apocalypse is the most fun he’s ever had, and Brian hopes that civilization never claws its way back from the pits of hell.

Notes “The Dead Air”
(A sequel to “Entertainment After the Apocalypse”, published 7/26/11)
With the old family home videos now ruined and completely overrun and infested with demonic voices and imagery, Haley Adams (The Last Girl on Earth) has taken to recording the silence around her with a cassette tape recorder and playing it back throughout the night to relieve her boredom.
While the tapes first started as just homemade “talk shows” where she pretended to interview other survivors of the apocalypse, upon playback of the recordings she’d often hear voices hidden in the dead air… and they were trying to talk to her.
Most of the time it was demons trying to scare her with heavy breathing and growling, but since she had just survived the apocalypse as only a 9 year old girl, Haley was pretty tough to rattle.
Every so often, when non-demonic voices from the beyond could dimly be heard on the tapes, Haley would attempt to engage them in conversation… however, the process of recording the dead air, listening back to the hours of tape to find the stray hidden voices mixed in with the static, and then asking a follow-up question was inherently inefficient.
It gave her something to do other than pretend she doesn’t see the red-eyed demons in the shadows, though, so Haley didn’t mind.
Usually, the voices were lost and confused souls who needed to be told that they died in the apocalypse. Haley relished this task, as it gave her a sense of purpose… something she had struggled with since becoming confident she was the only one who survived.
After several months of the same slow conversations with discombobulated disembodied voices, Haley found herself getting frustratingly bored again. She absentmindedly hits play on the recording she just made in the children’s morgue, expecting another tedious day of saving souls, when instead she is greeted by the melodic laughter of a young child.
Perking up instantly, Haley takes delight in something new finally happening and listens intently as the distant childish giggling becomes a song—
“I’m dead I’m dead and you’ll be too
On your family’s souls we chew
Your mother screams in pain each night
Because you chose to survive the blight
Your baby brother is boiled blue
Skinned alive because of you
Die and die and be with us
No more boredom, no more fuss
Hahahahahahahahahahaha….!”The song and laughter repeats for 90 minutes before the play button POPS up as the tape reaches the end.
Haley pauses, sighs, and rewinds the tape to use again.

Notes “A Dream Come True”
While in her more impatient, immature, and impetuous moments Angelica had often wished everyone in the world would die, she didn’t expect the wish to ever be actually granted. But as she peers out her window, her eyes blurry and puffy from crying herself to sleep the night before, she sees her dream finally came true— everyone on Earth had dropped dead.
Running outside with a huge happy grin on her face, Angelica checks to see if it’s really true— Oh, how glorious! No one to annoy her anymore, or tell her she can’t see a movie on a school night.
As she dances joyously through the piles of corpses, a strong rancid stench wafts into her nose… what is that? UGH, the bodies are rotting already?! She just woke up! This is ridiculous…
Angelica runs inside her house and slams the door, but can smell her parents and siblings rotting as well from their respective bedrooms. Sighing annoyingly, cursing for someone she can blame for this hassle and huffing and puffing the whole way, she pushes her family members out their bedroom windows and shuts the windows tight. There!
Even though the smell of 6 billion humans decomposing in unison couldn’t be totally kept out by tightly shut doors and windows, as long as she sprayed her upper lip with perfume Angelica felt it was bearable. Problem solved!
But as the bodies liquify, the unprecedented amount of the various gasses and anaerobic organisms released by the dead bodies mixes with the atmosphere and creates a new bacteria that stains the sky pink and clogs the air completely.
Now, Angelica has to wear a gas-mask and several layers of protective space-suits 24 hours a day just to live and if she wants to go anywhere, she has to shovel a path through the billions of skulls and bones. Because of this, she mostly just stays home, in her bedroom, which is all she really did before.
Being young and stubborn, Angelica won’t admit that she shouldn’t have wished for everyone to die, but she does fall asleep crying every night dreaming of at least one friend to talk to… but thus far, that dream hasn’t come true. :-/

Notes “Entertainment After the Apocalypse”
Many months have passed since the apocalypse, and Haley Adams (The Last Girl on Earth) is bored.
Her family’s old VHS home recordings from the 1990s are her only source of entertainment, and most of them were damaged by the Atomic-Magnet bombs that destroyed the robots.
As she watches her dead parent’s wedding tape for what feels like the millionth time, she awaits the expected picture distortion caused by the magnetic damage… the audio hissing as the image jumps and stutters in analog video patterns.
It’s beautiful, in an odd way. Haley stares dreamily into the flickering swirls.Suddenly, a demonic eye can faintly be seen between the distortion lines. In the static-y hiss, she hears a voice…
“Yourrrr familyy issss here with ussss… sssss… you can’t lassst much longerrrr…”
The demon’s twisted mouth grins, and the video distortion clears just in time to show her parents’ first kiss as husband and wife, accompanied by the whistles and cheers from the wedding attendees.
Haley immediately stops the tape, and watches her dead brother’s 5th birthday party instead.

Notes Classique Doodle: "The Last Boy of Earth is Now The First Human of Pandania"
IN THE NEAR FUTURE and BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
The enormous planet of Pandania, native home of the Panda (and known to rogue astronomers historically as “Planet X”), has circled the galaxy on it’s long orbit around the sun and is now mere miles away from our Earth. The vicinity and size of Pandania has totally disrupted our gravity, and triggered the auto-attack reaction switches of the world’s atomic bombs.
In the chaos, a young boy named Jacoby “Jakie” Fisher watches his best friends explode and his parents get run over by a bus so he decides to climb the tallest building he can find and leap to his death. Instead of falling towards the ground though, he was sucked UP and into Pandania’s atmosphere.He lands safely in the Great Purple Ocean of the Eastern Sea of Pandania, where Cranston the Duke of Pandania sees him splash-land and dives in to rescue him.
Cranston drags his new friend Jakie up onto the dock, and they watch the thousands of atomic bombs destroy the Earth.After a moment has passed, Cranston pats Jakie on the back and tells him that he can call him “dad” if he likes.
DOODLER’S NOTE: I’ll add some commentary to my reblogs of older Doodles for funsies, if no one minds. THIS Doodle came about because a nice reader asked me to draw a Panda. I like to oblige nice requests, so I created this story. I like the idea of being sucked up into another planet and landing in its purple ocean.
