Sadistic Doughboy #ThrowbackThursday

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Marian Allen

The Sadistic Doughboy is one of our oldest grandson’s monsters. I can still hear him cackling at my protest.

The Sadistic Doughboy

This was drawn when he was 12. I particularly like the “I’m with Stupid” shirt with the arrow pointing up.

I miss that little kid, but the man he grew into is also awesome and cool.

A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Take an iconic figure and write it as the opposite of its intent.

Looking at your grandson’s creation. I imagine the painful memories it had went through that made him sadistic doughboy. Great creation by your grandson! The drawing itself is enough to tell its story.

  It was a reaction against all those cutesy-poo Pillsbury Doughboy giggly commercials. Dillon imagined the poor guy just got poked in the belly ONCE TOO OFTEN! lol

This is an incredibly awesome creaion.
Can you imagine an action figure made up like this?
Or:
Would it have to be stuffed?
