There once was a fellow named phil, he liked people until, somebody bumped him, so he thumped him, now he likes to go outside and kill. -2nd grade me, poetry that i found the other day
@austinmcconnell I used to draw monsters and give them absurd stats. Like 9 billion in attack and 9 billion in defense. I think I got the idea because I saw some yu-gi-oh cards when visiting my cousins back in 2005. Man, when you're a kid, you tend to draw the weirdest shit ever.
This video reminded me of my childhood comic series, "Pancake Boy." It was pretty stupid, but they meant a lot to me. They were really my first foray into creativity apart from LEGO. You should try finding Wesley and reconnect, honestly.
My first comic series was called "The Laser". I drew and colored it all after the standardized tests in 4th grade. The next year was a hodgepodge for me, the next, one called "The Torch". The final year in my dynasty was one called "Max Swift", which was heavily inspired by the Carl Barks Donald Duck Stories. It was a big 30-something page story, and it still sits on my bookshelf. It makes me a little uncomfortable looking back, but my 7th grade year could be summed up in that comic. While my MOCs tend to slowly "decompose", my comics have stuck with me.
This comic series is pretty amazing. You guys went so far as to reserve a place for advertisements! I can't wait to see what project your working on. I hope it's a live action version of Moo Moo Man and Moo Moo Boy!
This is so awesome. As someone who made comic books as a kid myself, this video speaks so much to me. Thank you for another incredible video, Austin. It means a lot.
I just wanted to say that I had given up on writing last year. I found your channel a month ago and since then I've been writing everyday. You're a gigantic inspiration. (sorry about my English. It's not my first language and I never took classes, so... Yep)
Victor Tomio From that paragraph, it wouldn't have crossed my mind that you weren't a native english speaker. You don't have to excuse yourself when you write in english, it looks like you know the language pretty well
*"Your" is the proper term. I'm very sorry, but this guy seems to have better English than you. I'm not trying to offend anyone, it just bothers me when people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". "You're" means "you are". "Your" is the possessive form of "you".
If I had to describe what this channel is to someone else, I wouldn't even know what to say. It's fantastic with every video and I'm excited when a new one comes up, even though it often has nothing to do with anything significant at the time. I think I found this channel from SciShow that linked to your skydiving video. TLDR; your videos are weird and great and I love it, keep it up!
This reminds me of my super heroes I made as a child They were called the Super Twins and were individually named Jack and Jill (amazing names, I know) I only ever made 2 issues and it was obviously inspired by Captain Underpants but my classmates enjoyed it and thought it was cool I was able to emulate the Flip-o-rama thing (which really wasn't that hard in hindsight) Man if it wasn't for this video I'd probably never remember them

This is awesome. I had a very similar experience in elementary school. My friend Luke and I would create comics during class and share them with our classmates. We made hundreds of them. (Luke also had a super-powered cow character, named Supercow). As we got older, we saw each other less, but I bumped into him a few years later and we spoke like no time had passed. He shifted out of comics and into aviation, but I still create comics/entertainment media. Even though our old characters weren't great, there is a happy feeling to going back and spending some more time with them.
This is really cool to hear about, especially that you're still drawing them to this day. I've got a small chicken character that I always draw, due to a strange obsession with the birds. It started when I was around 10, and 11 years later the chicken has played a staring role in probably hundreds of birthday, christmas and wedding cards that I make for my family and friends. Much easier than drawing humans, tbh. Anyway, keep up the cool, quirky stories!
confession: i liked this video before i watched it. I recognize the music! It's Falling by Sappheiros: ua-cam.com/video/E_e4ro2hzpc/v-deo.html I have the same fascination/obsession with memories (and dreams); sometimes I really feel like I'm living in the past.
I did a similar thing, where I wrote stories and drew comic books of a colorful Bouncy ball named Hüpfi (smth like "Jumpy") and his best friend, a purple snail named Lara. They lived in a flower field and they're biggest enemy was a mistreated dog whos owner was mean to him because his teeth hurt. It was genuinely really pure, because Lara had to trust Hüpfi since she was to slow too get out of danger herself, but Hüpfi needed Lara since she had the good ideas and plans. Ngl, it had some better plot lines then my current stories xD A lot of my friends and even teachers read them, it was really amazing
I have a similar story like yours. In 2008, I created a comic book about a person named Michael and a talking pig called PiggyMcPig. The comic was called “Michael and PiggyMcPig”. They go on with their everyday lives, but almost all of the time, they do stuff that is a bit extraordinary. I drew them, and it was like a job/hobby to me back then. I thought that I will stop the series in 2009-2010, but somehow it kept going I drew them while the years gone by. I had a box of all the comics that I drew with them until 2016. The box somehow disappeared, and 8 years of hard work, just... vanished. I was really upset at the time, and I feel like I don’t want to do anything at all. My grades were falling, a lot of me also went away. It was one of the most darkest times in my life because I figuratively and literally put my blood, sweat and tears into my comic. But somehow in 2017, I decided to stop what I’m doing, and fix myself, so meanwhile I fix myself up, I decided to try again and draw the comic. It was going great, but I don’t want to repeat the last time with the box. So, I was deciding where to draw the comics meanwhile store in a safe place, then I turn to the internet. I set up my own website, download a free program to draw my comics, and that leads to now. 2018 was the 10th Anniversary of my comic, and I’m still creating comics with the name to this day. If you want to check it out, you can click here (michaelr.app/projectmp ) if you want. I know that this is way too long to long for a comment, I apologize, but I wanted to share my story like yours. Also, thanks for reading if you made it through here.
I wrote a short comic of a turtle who’s parents were killed by another character called “Evil Man”. Shelly (the main protagonist) would always try his best to get vengeance on Evil Man, but Evil Man would always find a way to escape. However, about the third time they faced off, Shelly nearly killed Evil Man, and assumed he was dead. But that was when one of Evil Man’s “Henchmen” rescued him and gave him a cybernetic arm since his real one had been crushed.
i dont know why i love these videos. The voice, the style. something about these videos gets me excited everytime i see it in my notifications, something wonderful is always in store. Your videos are amazing and i love them so much. the anticipation for the next video grows everyday. i cant wait will the next one.
I had a friend in kindergarten and we drew comics very similar to this, involving him and I fighting various monsters and villains. Recently we happened to attend the same high school and we reconnected. I’m now working on bringing back the series, involving our other friends this time. I think these things that we create as children are probably some of most precious memories we have, and they can not only remind us of what we love, but who we love.
I also had lot of comics. I don't remember the first ones becouse they were mostly just one page shorts. But i had 2 comics series. 1st was "N00b" which i don't remember much, sadly but it was about guy called noob with his sidekick i don't remember name but it was about some run from something (maybe prisob break idk) and it was really WTF. It had like 10 epizodes and i remember for ex. He was sliding from top of mount everest or that he met president (i am czech and it was czech prezident). The second one is called Róza and Pegina (named after my rabbit Róza and my aunts dog Pegina). It was about Róza joining racing competition but he got Pegina 1st round and pegina was like 10 in a row times winner and she always ate the one who lost. (I was cruel kid hehe). So Róza accepted his death and he tried to work out. Luckily his friend was Sťůí (1. Don't even try to pronounce it 2. Named after hamster of my friend). And he was juror for the race (the race had jury IDK i was wierd) and he picked race track that will benefit Róza. Róza won the race and punished Pegina with life ban of racing and Róza withdraw from the race. The end.
I remember having a single old school book that i filled up with stories and poems. None of them where good but i had that book for about five years and every inch was coved with almost all i wrote in that time. I used to read over it every now and again and it felt like i was watching myself grow and change. I lost it a few years back but still have some of the poems stuck in the back of my brain. Thanks for the cool vid dude it made me smile.
I have an old trapper keeper from elementary school. Inside this trapper keeper is notebooks with stories, drawings, newspaper clippings, things i've printed out and all sorts of things from my childhood. It's probably been about 15 years since i've pulled it out and looked at it. This video has inspired me to dig it up again.
No matter how random your videos are, they never fail to make me think and somehow touch me. And make me so happy. Keep doing what you’re doing Austin. I can’t wait to see the something xx
Man Everytime I watch one of your videos it's like an uplift just so you can get a longer swing in when you punch through my gut straight into the feels.
I don't understand what happens when I get to your channel, but every time I watch one of your videos I feel utterly relaxed and chill. It's like... I just want to listen to the story you're going to tell me and focus only on it, nothing else. I look for other UA-camr's to laugh or to learn something, but with you... I don't know man, it's like your videos are worth watching per se. Perhaps you'll never see this message, but I hope you keep growing and being successful. Best wishes dude.
I've had my very own similar story, collaborated with a friend and created a comic book that spanned for years based on one of our teachers for some reason and it was a hit within our class, and I haven't seen that friend in years as well I really hope Wesley would one day watch this video and smile for having this sweet shared memory
Man, I can relate to everything you said. I also had a friend and also had a comic that we drew. We drew a lot of comics and he eventually had to leave because his dad was in the army (my friend switches schools often). I keep the very first comic that we drew with me. Whenever I feel demotivated I just remember the days where I was drawing those comics with him. Wished him a bright future
I remember in third grade I wrote and drew (with the help of a nice college intern) three issues of a comic titled "Skunkman". She even helped me bind them and the teacher let me read them to the entire class. I hadn't thought about it in years but your video took me right down memory lane. I actually still have all three issues on a shelf in my room. I'm gonna have to give them a read now.
I used to make comic books similarly. I would tie the bindings through the holes with the bit you tear off from the notebook. Sadly I trashed a lot of my ramshackle paper doodles at one point, luckily I still have my sketchbooks and index card collections. It's really good to look back at where you came from in regards to art. Because it's quite easy to become downtrodden and damage your own perception of your abilities, looking through old sketchbooks I am often more happy than I was making it.
I used to fold rectangles of paper into book-like shapes and then used the outer part to make the cover and the inside to make the comic, granted this was a stupid decision on kid me´s part because that did not give you much space, I started out doing this character named stick, who was a stick man, my comics detailed his mundane activities throwing in some cringy references and jokes. He also had a girlfriend by the name of Siri and I do not know, the character and I parted ways metaphorically and I have a fictional slopily drawn stickman to thank for my love of art and graphic design today.
I absolutely love your videos, they are all so well produced and cover such a wide array of topics. I particularly enjoy the very personal videos like this one. There just isn't any other youtuber that makes content that feels this real.
I absolutely love this video, as I do with all of your videos, and really appreciate your presence on UA-cam Austin. Can't wait to see the next big thing you are working on, whatever it may be!
Some how this video has kept me more engaged than most I've seen in a while thanks and can't wait to see what you've been working on but don't rush it we can wait.
I know in one of your previous videos you talked about making and animated series. After watching this video there are pieces that I've put together like the fact in the LG 15 video at 16:05, you said you were working on a series for 2 years. Now it's 2018, here you say you've been working on something big, I think my idea of a Moo Moo Man animated series is that big thing. I'm happy to be keeping up with your videos, it always makes my day to see one. :)
Thanks for being such an inspiration!! I learn so much from your videos and also get touched by them at the same time!! Whatever it is you're working on, I wish you the best of luck, and you can count on all of your fans to be there to watch it when it comes out!!
A good friend and I had a comic series, the Evil-Eye vs the Dot of Doom! We had so many characters and plot lines, it got really in depth. We even had personifications of ourselves that appeared in one or two issues, mine losing their head in their first appearance and continuing to be headless throughout the rest of the characters timeline.
I drew a comic book with a friend in like, 2nd Grade. It was about a dragon-man hybrid named Leonard who fought some hooded figure. Those were the days. Thanks for making this.
OMG. My childhood creation was a super hero form of my favorite stuffed animal "Mooey" and his name was Super Cow! :D It was an entire saga that I worked on for years including a book and hundreds of comics. Its actually the reason that I still draw to this day, and Ive been having thoughts about animating some of the old comics and scenes from that old book. I also drew the bodies of the characters in the same way as you do, but the head design is different and ma cows had tails. Of course ive updated the design immensely, but there is still a little bit of little me in every drawing. My sister even had a super hero "Super pig" and super cow and super pig would go on adventures in ambitious crossovers. Anyway I could go on forever about it, because it spanned and influenced so much of my life, but I gotta say its really quite strange to see something so similar to my own life depicted in your video. Very nice video.
I wrote a bunch of comics with my 3 friends. I would draw while the other 3 gave ideas. Stories were about the 3 of us all being super heroes. I specifically remember every story starting with us eating at some sort of local eatery and hearing the sound of whatever conflict the story would be about
I can't wait for part 2, finding Westley and making an official comic for us to buy on a merch store... or moo moo man and boy shirts, either would do.
The videos you make about about yourself are the most interesting ones. You've made a feature film, a teenage book series, a popular youtube channel, and had a secretive spray painting phase you refuse to elaborate on. Man, you've lived life to it's fullest, despite how you feel about some of your past works.
My childhood creations never escaped me. My mind keeps everything I create and in order for them to keep in tack I forget other things that I should probably remember. My mind just refines the childhood imagination to something less... embarrassing. lol great video
Dude, take all the time you need to finish this mysterious big project of yours. No need to apologize for a long wait or anything like that. Just the sheer effort that goes into every bit of your work makes the end result worth it to me (and I assume the majority of your fans).
This is kind of exactly my situation. I used to write a comic strip entitled Mr. Fitzgerald, with my friend Donavyn. It was a little series me and him made just about the wacky adventures of Mr. Fitzgerald. I know it sounds strange, but I can’t escape that longing that I wish we had kept doing it, but we parted ways. Glad to see one of my favorite UA-camrs going through what I did. Love ya man
I had this comic about these twins. Their names were Bongo and Violet. I had a series of stories narrated by Violet's diary entries and I had developed some (admittedly one-dimensional) side characters on the way. When I started drawing as a hobby I redesigned the twins around 9000 times. That was fun.
I live for videos like these! You definitely inspire my own channel, I feel like *videos like this are what the brilliance of UA-cam is.* Getting to tell YOUR story, those charming and tiny parts of your life that stick with you years later, because no one else can.
this reminds me of the time i used to make my own comic books of me and my friend fighting off video game villains that came out of our televisions. great times, man
I did the same thing when I was a kid, except I folded 1 sheet of college ruled paper into thirds and then in half again, which gave me 12 equally sized "comic panels" to work with. I do still think about those comics sometime. I wish I could find them. I left them in a notebook in my closet at my parents house, but I'm pretty sure they've throw it away since then
I had a comic series that I made about my best friends at the time and me going on wacky adventures. I started it in Kindergarten and it went until my Second Grade year. There was a spin-off that included two more of my friends, and a spin-off where we were aged up. It had reboots and remakes too. Too bad I was the only one reading them. Looking back, I think I made those comics as a way to hang out with my friends because I rarely ever went over to a friend's house or had anyone over.
My grandson, Troy (9), sent me a link to your video. He made a MMM & MMB comic book. I am encouraging him to read and comprehend what he reads. Thanks for sharing your story.
I remember making a comic about a butterfly who became a superhero through a magic crystal giving an ability to change her wings to have different heroic purposes
Thats really cool Austin! Its funny for me because my best friend and I did the same thing in grade 6! I still have all the issues and its something I will remember forever.
Austin what an awesome video because recently I remembered whenever I was in 6th grade I used to make my own comics in a similar fashion called Captain ninja and I guess they were based off Captain Underpants and Naruto but I recently bought a new Sketchbook and a book on how to draw so I could get back in the comics again
I had something exactly like this! So it's about a fat drug addict called Ray , a criminal that refuses to pay his debts called Maddee, a secret agent baby who is also a daredevil called Ba, a cowboy called Dillon and a soldier called Jeff . They all fight this dude called logster who was a tree man and had a gang called logster's gangsters but then he contacted some kind of aliens then he got superpowers and caused the apocalypse. Now everyone has superpowers or has either died. Logster has clones that were basically off brand t-1000s from Terminator 2 but they kinda acted like a hivemind and infected people. There are giant sentient cockroaches living in the sewers. The remains of logster's gangsters now are the subway raiders. There are big red and horned mutants. Logster's cultists are everywhere and killing everyone. There is a giant crystal thing floating in the sky which is logster's palace. Now the good guys have to kill logster.
This reminds me of a superhero I made in 4th grade- his name was Rubber Boynd, he was a guy with a giant rubber band for a body who could stretch & fling himself around. His first (& only) nemesis was the Centipen, a huge many-armed robot with a Sharpie for a head.
This video hits home for me a bit. I remember writing a superhero comic in third grade about a girl named Cory Amber Smith--- I forgot what superhero name I gave her (oh well)---- and how she got flying powers and super strength. It took me the whole summer leading to fourth grade to make, but I loved it soo much. Unfortunately I lost it when my family and I moved after my fourth grade year... I'm 16 years old now and it kills me everytime I think about it and what might have happened to it. Oh well, at least it'll always stay in my memories. 🙄
My childhood comic was Garry the Guy. He had the power to teleport any item he wanted to himself aslong as it wasnt bigger than him. I made about 25 issues in my notebook and 4 or 5 people would come over to my table during ,what we called wet breaks which were frequent, to look at the weekly issue. I made a few spinoffs one of which was about the adventures of Dan the Dude, Gary's main rival.
Anybody else have weird childhood creations like this? Let me hear about them.
i used to draw on the wall , not even art ! just straight lines
There once was a fellow named phil,
he liked people until,
somebody bumped him,
so he thumped him,
now he likes to go outside and kill.
-2nd grade me, poetry that i found the other day
I remember making bootleg Spiderman comics where Venom was always the villain

@austinmcconnell I used to draw monsters and give them absurd stats. Like 9 billion in attack and 9 billion in defense. I think I got the idea because I saw some yu-gi-oh cards when visiting my cousins back in 2005. Man, when you're a kid, you tend to draw the weirdest shit ever.

My first comic series was called "The Laser". I drew and colored it all after the standardized tests in 4th grade. The next year was a hodgepodge for me, the next, one called "The Torch". The final year in my dynasty was one called "Max Swift", which was heavily inspired by the Carl Barks Donald Duck Stories. It was a big 30-something page story, and it still sits on my bookshelf. It makes me a little uncomfortable looking back, but my 7th grade year could be summed up in that comic. While my MOCs tend to slowly "decompose", my comics have stuck with me.

Even though our old characters weren't great, there is a happy feeling to going back and spending some more time with them.
Don't erase this one from the internet.
Working on something big? MooMooMan Movie confirmed
This is really cool to hear about, especially that you're still drawing them to this day. I've got a small chicken character that I always draw, due to a strange obsession with the birds. It started when I was around 10, and 11 years later the chicken has played a staring role in probably hundreds of birthday, christmas and wedding cards that I make for my family and friends.
Much easier than drawing humans, tbh. Anyway, keep up the cool, quirky stories!

Sorenkair I liked this comment before reading it.
I did a similar thing, where I wrote stories and drew comic books of a colorful Bouncy ball named Hüpfi (smth like "Jumpy") and his best friend, a purple snail named Lara. They lived in a flower field and they're biggest enemy was a mistreated dog whos owner was mean to him because his teeth hurt. It was genuinely really pure, because Lara had to trust Hüpfi since she was to slow too get out of danger herself, but Hüpfi needed Lara since she had the good ideas and plans. Ngl, it had some better plot lines then my current stories xD
A lot of my friends and even teachers read them, it was really amazing
Even though I’m only 13 this gives me nostalgic feelings of when I did really bad comic books is was only like 11 but dang this was relatable
This character should live forever in the internet...
I have a similar story like yours. In 2008, I created a comic book about a person named Michael and a talking pig called PiggyMcPig. The comic was called “Michael and PiggyMcPig”.

But somehow in 2017, I decided to stop what I’m doing, and fix myself, so meanwhile I fix myself up, I decided to try again and draw the comic. It was going great, but I don’t want to repeat the last time with the box. So, I was deciding where to draw the comics meanwhile store in a safe place, then I turn to the internet. I set up my own website, download a free program to draw my comics, and that leads to now. 2018 was the 10th Anniversary of my comic, and I’m still creating comics with the name to this day. If you want to check it out, you can click here (michaelr.app/projectmp ) if you want. I know that this is way too long to long for a comment, I apologize, but I wanted to share my story like yours. Also, thanks for reading if you made it through here.
austin is the best example of how presentation is just as important as content. He's just that good
hey austin we like you a lot
Hey, thanks.
I wrote a short comic of a turtle who’s parents were killed by another character called “Evil Man”. Shelly (the main protagonist) would always try his best to get vengeance on Evil Man, but Evil Man would always find a way to escape. However, about the third time they faced off, Shelly nearly killed Evil Man, and assumed he was dead. But that was when one of Evil Man’s “Henchmen” rescued him and gave him a cybernetic arm since his real one had been crushed.
The Zesty Potato. Sounds edgy
I was a pretty weird kid. Probably still am.
i dont know why i love these videos. The voice, the style. something about these videos gets me excited everytime i see it in my notifications, something wonderful is always in store. Your videos are amazing and i love them so much. the anticipation for the next video grows everyday. i cant wait will the next one.
Thanks! Working hard to get more stuff out there.
I had a friend in kindergarten and we drew comics very similar to this, involving him and I fighting various monsters and villains.
Recently we happened to attend the same high school and we reconnected. I’m now working on bringing back the series, involving our other friends this time.
I think these things that we create as children are probably some of most precious memories we have, and they can not only remind us of what we love, but who we love.
Moo Moo Man vs the Sprouting Orchid: The Motion Picture confirmed.
I also had lot of comics. I don't remember the first ones becouse they were mostly just one page shorts. But i had 2 comics series. 1st was "N00b" which i don't remember much, sadly but it was about guy called noob with his sidekick i don't remember name but it was about some run from something (maybe prisob break idk) and it was really WTF. It had like 10 epizodes and i remember for ex. He was sliding from top of mount everest or that he met president (i am czech and it was czech prezident).
The second one is called Róza and Pegina (named after my rabbit Róza and my aunts dog Pegina). It was about Róza joining racing competition but he got Pegina 1st round and pegina was like 10 in a row times winner and she always ate the one who lost. (I was cruel kid hehe). So Róza accepted his death and he tried to work out. Luckily his friend was Sťůí (1. Don't even try to pronounce it 2. Named after hamster of my friend). And he was juror for the race (the race had jury IDK i was wierd) and he picked race track that will benefit Róza. Róza won the race and punished Pegina with life ban of racing and Róza withdraw from the race. The end.
I remember having a single old school book that i filled up with stories and poems. None of them where good but i had that book for about five years and every inch was coved with almost all i wrote in that time. I used to read over it every now and again and it felt like i was watching myself grow and change. I lost it a few years back but still have some of the poems stuck in the back of my brain. Thanks for the cool vid dude it made me smile.
I have an old trapper keeper from elementary school. Inside this trapper keeper is notebooks with stories, drawings, newspaper clippings, things i've printed out and all sorts of things from my childhood. It's probably been about 15 years since i've pulled it out and looked at it. This video has inspired me to dig it up again.
I wonder if trapper keepers are still a thing these days...
I bet Moo Moo Man will become a meme.
Once you call it out, it already might be..
Noteight Noteight look on my channel I made it a meme in about 20 mins it will be uploaded
Not yet so far but I’m waiting!
Weird Oh And
*A Wild Westley Appears In The Comments As An Old Time Fan*
No matter how random your videos are, they never fail to make me think and somehow touch me. And make me so happy. Keep doing what you’re doing Austin. I can’t wait to see the something xx
Man Everytime I watch one of your videos it's like an uplift just so you can get a longer swing in when you punch through my gut straight into the feels.
Happy birthday man :)
?
please tell me you're working on some hentai
I don't understand what happens when I get to your channel, but every time I watch one of your videos I feel utterly relaxed and chill. It's like... I just want to listen to the story you're going to tell me and focus only on it, nothing else. I look for other UA-camr's to laugh or to learn something, but with you... I don't know man, it's like your videos are worth watching per se. Perhaps you'll never see this message, but I hope you keep growing and being successful. Best wishes dude.
I've had my very own similar story, collaborated with a friend and created a comic book that spanned for years based on one of our teachers for some reason and it was a hit within our class, and I haven't seen that friend in years as well
I really hope Wesley would one day watch this video and smile for having this sweet shared memory
Please find Wesley.
#FindWesley
Man, I can relate to everything you said. I also had a friend and also had a comic that we drew. We drew a lot of comics and he eventually had to leave because his dad was in the army (my friend switches schools often). I keep the very first comic that we drew with me. Whenever I feel demotivated I just remember the days where I was drawing those comics with him. Wished him a bright future
I remember in third grade I wrote and drew (with the help of a nice college intern) three issues of a comic titled "Skunkman". She even helped me bind them and the teacher let me read them to the entire class. I hadn't thought about it in years but your video took me right down memory lane. I actually still have all three issues on a shelf in my room. I'm gonna have to give them a read now.
You are my lifeforce.
So *DEEP*
I used to make comic books similarly. I would tie the bindings through the holes with the bit you tear off from the notebook. Sadly I trashed a lot of my ramshackle paper doodles at one point, luckily I still have my sketchbooks and index card collections. It's really good to look back at where you came from in regards to art. Because it's quite easy to become downtrodden and damage your own perception of your abilities, looking through old sketchbooks I am often more happy than I was making it.
I used to fold rectangles of paper into book-like shapes and then used the outer part to make the cover and the inside to make the comic, granted this was a stupid decision on kid me´s part because that did not give you much space, I started out doing this character named stick, who was a stick man, my comics detailed his mundane activities throwing in some cringy references and jokes. He also had a girlfriend by the name of Siri and I do not know, the character and I parted ways metaphorically and I have a fictional slopily drawn stickman to thank for my love of art and graphic design today.
Did you make the frame rate really low at the beginning to make it look like stop motion?
3:10 ITS THE COOL S
I absolutely love your videos, they are all so well produced and cover such a wide array of topics. I particularly enjoy the very personal videos like this one. There just isn't any other youtuber that makes content that feels this real.
I love how your channel is always creative and different with a consistency to hold it together
Alright guys...let's find wesley
Once Again?? xD
Edit: I thought we were gonna have an adventure similar to your "Fallen Angels" book. My Bad.
Mohammed Mokhtar just delete the comment
I absolutely love this video, as I do with all of your videos, and really appreciate your presence on UA-cam Austin. Can't wait to see the next big thing you are working on, whatever it may be!
This reminds me of my elementary comic series. The similarities of how we created and shared our conics is really interesting
Is your big project the Moo Moo Man Movie?
The video is still loading..... so I'm guessing the comic is a nice term for playboy comics.
Allen Gwapo bet
Some how this video has kept me more engaged than most I've seen in a while thanks and can't wait to see what you've been working on but don't rush it we can wait.
I know in one of your previous videos you talked about making and animated series. After watching this video there are pieces that I've put together like the fact in the LG 15 video at 16:05, you said you were working on a series for 2 years. Now it's 2018, here you say you've been working on something big, I think my idea of a Moo Moo Man animated series is that big thing. I'm happy to be keeping up with your videos, it always makes my day to see one. :)
I never know what to write when I'm early
be early and give yourself time to think. Maybe watch the video first. It's good stuff. Comments are here to commentate the video
Thanks for being such an inspiration!! I learn so much from your videos and also get touched by them at the same time!! Whatever it is you're working on, I wish you the best of luck, and you can count on all of your fans to be there to watch it when it comes out!!
A good friend and I had a comic series, the Evil-Eye vs the Dot of Doom! We had so many characters and plot lines, it got really in depth. We even had personifications of ourselves that appeared in one or two issues, mine losing their head in their first appearance and continuing to be headless throughout the rest of the characters timeline.
some of the best content on UA-cam. seriously, you keep me coming back here man
This is an amazing video, Austin! Thanks so much for telling the story of Moo Moo Man and Moo Moo Boy.
I drew a comic book with a friend in like, 2nd Grade. It was about a dragon-man hybrid named Leonard who fought some hooded figure. Those were the days. Thanks for making this.
holy shit, that is a satisfying way of announcing "something" is coming.
OMG. My childhood creation was a super hero form of my favorite stuffed animal "Mooey" and his name was Super Cow! :D It was an entire saga that I worked on for years including a book and hundreds of comics. Its actually the reason that I still draw to this day, and Ive been having thoughts about animating some of the old comics and scenes from that old book.
I also drew the bodies of the characters in the same way as you do, but the head design is different and ma cows had tails.
Of course ive updated the design immensely, but there is still a little bit of little me in every drawing.
My sister even had a super hero "Super pig" and super cow and super pig would go on adventures in ambitious crossovers.
Anyway I could go on forever about it, because it spanned and influenced so much of my life, but I gotta say its really quite strange to see something so similar to my own life depicted in your video.
Very nice video.
I wrote a bunch of comics with my 3 friends. I would draw while the other 3 gave ideas. Stories were about the 3 of us all being super heroes. I specifically remember every story starting with us eating at some sort of local eatery and hearing the sound of whatever conflict the story would be about
I'd honestly love to see these stories their so cute.
Stop making me feel super emotional every time you talk about your past. I can't keep doing this Austin. XD
Big or small, I simply adore your work, Austin. Looking forward to seeing this upcoming big one.
I can't wait for part 2, finding Westley and making an official comic for us to buy on a merch store... or moo moo man and boy shirts, either would do.
The videos you make about about yourself are the most interesting ones.
You've made a feature film, a teenage book series, a popular youtube channel, and had a secretive spray painting phase you refuse to elaborate on. Man, you've lived life to it's fullest, despite how you feel about some of your past works.
My childhood creations never escaped me. My mind keeps everything I create and in order for them to keep in tack I forget other things that I should probably remember. My mind just refines the childhood imagination to something less... embarrassing. lol great video
Dude, take all the time you need to finish this mysterious big project of yours. No need to apologize for a long wait or anything like that. Just the sheer effort that goes into every bit of your work makes the end result worth it to me (and I assume the majority of your fans).
This is kind of exactly my situation.
I used to write a comic strip entitled Mr. Fitzgerald, with my friend Donavyn. It was a little series me and him made just about the wacky adventures of Mr. Fitzgerald. I know it sounds strange, but I can’t escape that longing that I wish we had kept doing it, but we parted ways. Glad to see one of my favorite UA-camrs going through what I did. Love ya man
I had this comic about these twins. Their names were Bongo and Violet. I had a series of stories narrated by Violet's diary entries and I had developed some (admittedly one-dimensional) side characters on the way. When I started drawing as a hobby I redesigned the twins around 9000 times. That was fun.
I live for videos like these! You definitely inspire my own channel, I feel like *videos like this are what the brilliance of UA-cam is.* Getting to tell YOUR story, those charming and tiny parts of your life that stick with you years later, because no one else can.
I really love your work. You inspire me to be a better person. Thank you for sharing your art.
this reminds me of the time i used to make my own comic books of me and my friend fighting off video game villains that came out of our televisions. great times, man
Ironically I made a comic when I was a kid and plan on incorporating them into a project. What impeccable timing.
I did the same thing when I was a kid, except I folded 1 sheet of college ruled paper into thirds and then in half again, which gave me 12 equally sized "comic panels" to work with. I do still think about those comics sometime. I wish I could find them. I left them in a notebook in my closet at my parents house, but I'm pretty sure they've throw it away since then
I had a comic series that I made about my best friends at the time and me going on wacky adventures. I started it in Kindergarten and it went until my Second Grade year. There was a spin-off that included two more of my friends, and a spin-off where we were aged up. It had reboots and remakes too. Too bad I was the only one reading them. Looking back, I think I made those comics as a way to hang out with my friends because I rarely ever went over to a friend's house or had anyone over.
My grandson, Troy (9), sent me a link to your video. He made a MMM & MMB comic book. I am encouraging him to read and comprehend what he reads. Thanks for sharing your story.
Out of all the videos you've made, this one is my favourite
I remember making a comic about a butterfly who became a superhero through a magic crystal giving an ability to change her wings to have different heroic purposes
Thats really cool Austin! Its funny for me because my best friend and I did the same thing in grade 6! I still have all the issues and its something I will remember forever.
Austin what an awesome video because recently I remembered whenever I was in 6th grade I used to make my own comics in a similar fashion called Captain ninja and I guess they were based off Captain Underpants and Naruto but I recently bought a new Sketchbook and a book on how to draw so I could get back in the comics again
I had something exactly like this!
So it's about a fat drug addict called Ray , a criminal that refuses to pay his debts called Maddee, a secret agent baby who is also a daredevil called Ba, a cowboy called Dillon and a soldier called Jeff . They all fight this dude called logster who was a tree man and had a gang called logster's gangsters but then he contacted some kind of aliens then he got superpowers and caused the apocalypse. Now everyone has superpowers or has either died. Logster has clones that were basically off brand t-1000s from Terminator 2 but they kinda acted like a hivemind and infected people. There are giant sentient cockroaches living in the sewers. The remains of logster's gangsters now are the subway raiders. There are big red and horned mutants. Logster's cultists are everywhere and killing everyone. There is a giant crystal thing floating in the sky which is logster's palace. Now the good guys have to kill logster.
This reminds me of a superhero I made in 4th grade- his name was Rubber Boynd, he was a guy with a giant rubber band for a body who could stretch & fling himself around. His first (& only) nemesis was the Centipen, a huge many-armed robot with a Sharpie for a head.
This video hits home for me a bit. I remember writing a superhero comic in third grade about a girl named Cory Amber Smith--- I forgot what superhero name I gave her (oh well)---- and how she got flying powers and super strength. It took me the whole summer leading to fourth grade to make, but I loved it soo much. Unfortunately I lost it when my family and I moved after my fourth grade year... I'm 16 years old now and it kills me everytime I think about it and what might have happened to it. Oh well, at least it'll always stay in my memories. 🙄
My childhood comic was Garry the Guy. He had the power to teleport any item he wanted to himself aslong as it wasnt bigger than him.
I made about 25 issues in my notebook and 4 or 5 people would come over to my table during ,what we called wet breaks which were frequent, to look at the weekly issue. I made a few spinoffs one of which was about the adventures of Dan the Dude, Gary's main rival.
