Koala Versus Bald Eagle

On 08/17/2013 at 03:27 PM by Patrick Kijek

Hey Bitties,

My time between updates has drastically decreased. I am happy to present a couple more pictures that I drew with my students. Some of them even helped to plan what was happening in the Koala v. Bald Eagle battle. But first, a landscape for your pleasure.

And now -- what you have all been waiting for -- the title fight.

Thanks for the inspiration. I believe that it was Joe Step who imagined this epic battle first. I was merely the vessel for the showdown. I wonder who won. My money is on America.

What's next?

--Patrick

The eagle represents America, so it's totally fair.

Thanks for the compliment! Any time you can be compared to Star Wars, you know you did something successful.

Somehow I can't imagine a koala bear winning a fight against an eagle. Especially not with those talons and laser beams shooting out of his eyes lol.

The big ears have superpowers, too. I'm just not sure what they are. Supercuddlyness?

Poor Kwickie Koala, having to fight an eagle with ginormous talons and laser vision. Give that little dude a can of spinach or something.

By the look on his face, you can see that the koala regrets lifting his spear at the eagle. The eagle was retaliating, so you can't feel too sorry.

If it weren't for the tail (or lack therof) I would have almost mistook the koala for a mouse what with the big ears and stuff lol.

It also could have been an ewok, which is kind of what I wanted it to resemble, so it came out alright.

That landscape reminds me of the desert the Black Mesa base is in during Half Life 1.

For a few seconds I thought that a laser beam was coming out of the koala's penis and into the eagle's eye, and for those few seconds I was fully accepting that as the reality I was seeing in the drawing, and I was okay with it lol. I assume the eagle has laser eyes right? So that means the eagle is shooting the koala in the penis via laser? Either way, there's some serious wiener and laser business going on in this drawing and I like it. These koala and bald eagle shenanigans made my night, I can sleep now

I'm glad that none of the kids thought that at my school! The eagle is shooting the koala in the belly, son! Who knows if the beam will bounce off? At this point, it hasn't penetrated the stomach, so it's anybody's ball game.

Chris didn't mention shit but you calling us bitties, the fight was my idea, dammit!

However, I am pleased with the results, although I think the koala is at a serious disadvantage. It looks like what would happen if Batman tried fighting Superman without any wits or gadgets, but just started a very ill-advised war of attrition. lol
