Super Rooster

I remember one day when I was eleven years old, I was on the bus to school, and I was drawing in a 4'' x 5'' sketchbook. I had created a new cartoon character, a little rooster with superpowers, and I started drawing his first story. The rooster, named Ronny, played "super heros" with his friend Mike, and landed in a pot of the evil Weasel's magic potion. I finished this story and wrote a few more. Super Rooster was born.

Some time later, I had a different idea of how he got his powers, so I rewrote the story (on a normal sheet of paper). In this version, Ronny's cape got covered in an alien substance when their spaceship flew over the farm. This was probably the strangest of "How Ronny Got His Powers".

Later that year I wrote a written story of Super Rooster. It retold the original plot (with the Weasel's potion). I ended up having to read it to my fifth grade class. This was the third version.

Also in fifth grade, a handful of teachers used a "classroom cash" system. Throughout the year we'd earn fake money for doing good things. Halfway through the year we had our first "classroom stores". We all got to turn our desks into shops and sell homemade stuff for other peoples' cash. I wrote a whole graphic novel: a collection of stories about Super Rooster's life before he had powers, which ended with yet another version of the origin. (This story had Super Rooster getting his powers in the same way as the first.) I sold a whopping eleven copies for $250 each.

Then came sixth grade. I continued to get more "technologically advanced", if you could call it that. I created a website (or a Wikispace that only I could edit) for Super Rooster. It had comics, news, puzzles, games, anything a Super Rooster fan could need! Ah... well, actually it only had two comics: "The Magical Appearing Weasel" and "A Super Rooster Christmas". I was going to write another origin (and a Thanksgiving story), but while I was writing, something happened to my account and I couldn't sign in to Wikispaces and edit anymore! You can see the old website here!

A year passed. I hadn't done anything with Super Rooster since. But after a whole year of roosterlessness, I look back at these comics and think of the fun I had writing them! I thought Super Rooster was over, but I can't just leave him standing in an unemployment line! I want to start over and re-create the entire Super Rooster series. In fact, I've already started. Yes, this will be the sixth "How Ronny Got His Powers" in only three years, but I'll assure you that if this works, Super Rooster will be at his highest point. I will continue to write stories (and with much better cartooning tools; not just copy paper and a Sharpie). So watch out! I've been making a bunch of teaser posters to get people interested, like this parody of Action Comics no. 1 (that is NOT a real cover). I hope to finish this comic near the end of Spring.
