Going for Gold
Hand has the Olympic spirit in this episode. He creates Dood on a speed skating rink, a hockey rink, and a figure skating rink. As Dood goes from sport to sport winning gold medals, he has lots of experiences along the way. From the Zamboni to Dim, his partner in the figure skating event, nothing is ever dull or easy in Dood’s world.
Lumber Jerk
Dood makes a friend!!! In this episode Dood befriends a little beaver (Created by Hand). Once again, Dood’s innocence and naiveté gets the better of him. That cute little beaver is bad to the bone. But Dood has a little something up his sleeve as well. But will it be enough to outsmart the cunning wild beaver? Me thinks not.
Dood.com
We take a bit of a different approach on this episode and rather than drawing Dood on a piece of paper, he is created in a digital world. Using the circle and square tools associated with most illustration programs, Dood comes to life and Hand gets a little creative. Hand proceeds to stretch, squash, rotate, duplicate and cut Dood up, and then pieces him back together like a Mr. Potato Head. Then Hand starts to play with the background tools. He switches the background to Niagara Falls (which Dood happens to be right on top of), then into the CN Tower (Dood lands… you get the picture). But the Hand has pushed Dood too far; you can see the anger building in Dood as the background turns into a matrix-esque series of binary 1s and 0s. He has figured out the Matrix, or has he?
Polar Problems
Set in the cold mountains of Whistler, British Columbia, Dood is given the opportunity to try his luck at skiing. With a tilt of the page a bunny hill is instantly changed into a downhill run that even a “great Canadian skier” wouldn’t want to tackle. From here things go from bad to worse. At the end of the hill there is an Evil Knievalesque jump. Fear is replaced with determination as Dood prepares himself for the jump. It looks like he’s going to make it. Hand decides to make things a little more interesting by erasing Dood’s skis and drawing anvils on his feet. Dood drops like a stone. At the bottom of his drop Dood is greeted by paper-thin ice, which he breaks through and pops back up looking like a gag ice cube with a fly in it. Hand enters and draws a polar bear that instantly falls in love with the “Dood-Sicle”. The polar bear sits on top of the cube, which melts under his blubbery butt. Then starts the real excitement…
Snooze
Have you ever had one of those days when you should have stayed in bed? Follow Dood through on one of those days from the minute he first hits the snooze button. We begin with Dood comfy in his bed with the little alarm clock going off. Each time the snooze bar is hit, the little alarm clock gets louder and louder, until finally, Dood has had enough and blows it up…
Once the stage goes black, Dood notices another pair of eyes in the room that seem to be growling at him. The light clicks on to reveal a cute little kitten. The cute little kitten sits on top of a huge stereo and decides to turn it up full blast , hitting Dood like a Sony commercial. Dood takes out his remote and poof! The cat and stereo are gone.
