== <span class="mw-headline">Transcript</span> ==

''{Cut to a red boxing glove holding a marker in front of a whiteboard designed to look like lined paper; a more relaxed music of the regular theme plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a relaxed tone}'' Calm yourself with more Skills of an Artist. Where I make drawing... funnnnnnnnn.

Today we're going to draw the cartoon characters, with these simple step-by-step instructions far out.

First we draw yours truly. Let's do an upside-down egg. ''{draws a egg-like shape. The words "UPSIDE-DOWN EGG" appear in the bottom left, with an egg next to them}'' That egg is not right-side-up, he's upside-down. Don't let all the yolk rush to your head, eh? ''{gibberish mumbling}'' Far out.

Alright, let's do a little "downtown", ''{Draws a small line at the "head" of the egg, resembling a neck. The word "DOWNTOWN" appears in the bottom left, with a vertical line next to it}'' and now, a "roundello". ''{Draws a circle at the empty end of the line. The word "ROUNDELLO" appears in the upper right, with a circle next to it.}''

Look at that roundello. Crossbeam, ''{draws a line in the middle of the circle. The word "CROSSBEAM" appears in the upper right, with a horizontal line next to it}'' and now, using a little scritch-a-scratch fill-in, we're going to mark it right up far out. ''{Fills the bottom half of the circle in. The words "SCRITCH-A-SCRATCH FILL-IN" appear in the upper right, with a squiggle next to them}''

Alright, now we're going to "an L", ''{Draws an L on the bottom-right part of the circle. The words "AN L" appear in the upper right, with an L next to them}'' and a preschool L. ''{Draws an L facing left. The words "A PRESCHOOL L" appear in the upper right, with a left-facing L next to them}'' Look at that.

And now, pokemouts, ''{Draws a diagonal line on the right of the circle. The word "POKEMOUTS" appears, with a diagonal line next to it}'' another pokemouts, ''{Draws a diagonal line on the left of the circle}'' and now for my...sizable gloves, we do...eights. ''{Draws an eight on the right diagonal line. The word "EIGHTS" appears in the upper right, with an eight next to it}'' Simple number eights, look at that, and over here, another ''{Draws an eight on the left diagonal line. The "EIGHTS" text appears again}'' number eight.

Alright, now we're gonna get very detailed, for the maskurus. Here we are. ''{Draws a V in the egg, followed by two small circles and a square}'' Look at this. ''{The words "VERY DETAILS" appear in the top right, with a V, two circles and a square next to them}'' Oh, he getting very recognizable as, something.

Let's give him a pal, it's the Homestar Runner, with an upside-down J. ''{Draws a large upside-down J next to the Strong Bad drawing. The words "UPSIDE-DOWN J" appear in the upper left, with an upside-down J next to them}'' Look at that. And now, an upside-down L. ''{Draws an upside-down L at that end of the J. The words "UPSIDE-DOWN L (bkwdsfarout)" appear in the upper right, with an upside-down L next to them}'' It's very alphabetical, far out.

Cross 'em up at the bottom, ''{Draws a line connecting the bottom parts of the J and L. The words "CROSS EM UP" appear in the upper right, with a horizontal line next to them}'' and another L, and another preschool L. ''{Draws two Ls, starting from the line. The "AN L" and "A PRESCHOOL L" signs appear as Strong Bad draws them}'' See?

And now, taow-taow-taow-taow-taow. ''{Draws a star above the line}'' We call that the 5-point taow. ''{The words "5-POINT TAOW" appear in the upper left, with a star next to them}''

Alright, then, drop a little juice on them. ''{Draws a small dot above the star, the words "JUICE DROP" appear in the upper right, with a dot next to them}'' I like to pretend I was drinking a smarty juice. ''{The word "SMARTY" is added to the "JUICE DROP" sign}'' And dripped it right here on the paper. ''{Draws another dot to the right of the first one}'' 'Nother drop of juice, look at that.

Now, cross 'em out like this, ''{Draws a line above the dots. The "CROSS EM UP" sign appears again}'' and who knows who you got? It's Character 1, and Character 2.

Perhaps this character, is sassin' back. ''{Draws three "talk" lines to the left of the Homestar Runner drawing. The words "SASSIN BACK" appear in the upper right, with three lines next to them}'' And maybe this character, is givin' a time. ''{Draws three talk lines to the right of the Strong Bad drawing. The words "GIVIN A TIME" appear in the upper left, with three lines next to them}''

You never know, until you try. That's Skills of an Artist, with a far out Strong Bad far out.
