Transcript

{Video opens with Strong Bad's boxing glove holding an uncapped marker. The logo appears.}

STRONG BAD: Skills of an Artist: Cannonmouth. I make drawing fun! Go!

{Strong Bad sings along with the background music as he draws a short, fat C curve. He closes the curve with a thin, backwards C.}

STRONG BAD: All right, now look, people are gonna think {draws an oval inside the smaller curve} you're drawing some ooh-lips over here. Like, that looks a lot like ooh-lips. {shades the oval in} You gotta tell 'em, juuust be patient. It's not gonna be ooh-lips!

{Strong Bad draws a small fuse on the back of the cannon.}

STRONG BAD: Like here we got the little fuse.

{He draws it so that the fuse is now lit.}

STRONG BAD: And let's do a sparky-lark, there. Look at that. This cannon is primed to fire. But I didn't say we were drawing a cannon! I said we're drawing Cannonmouth!

{The music changes, and Strong Bad sings along. He draws an odd shape above the cannon.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} So here we go, it's Cannonmouth. {draws a nose and eyes inside the shape} Here he comes, Cannonmouth.

{Strong Bad draws a curve above the face to make hair.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} He seems kind of alarmed that his cannon is a mouth.

{Strong Bad draws a joint and neck underneath the cannon.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} His mouth is a cannon, I mean.

{He continues drawing a collared shirt below the neck.}

STRONG BAD: Here he comes, got a collared shirt. {he draws a couple of points to create two arms} Maybe it's picture day for Cannonmouth.

{Strong Bad adds two stick-figure lines and folded hands from the sleeves.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} He should dress his best.

{Strong Bad draws a box on the left side of Cannonmouth.}

STRONG BAD: {singing} Cannonmouth.

{The music ends. Strong Bad adds details to the box to make it look like a camera.}

STRONG BAD: Camera. Picture day.

{The regular Skills of an Artist music resumes. Strong Bad draws a curvy jagged line and closes it off like a triangle.}

STRONG BAD: One of those little uh, umbrellas, you know what I'm saying?

{Strong Bad adds spine lines to the umbrella, and another curvy jagged line to give it depth.

STRONG BAD: That reflects the light.

{He adds a little antenna sticking out of the center of the umbrella, and a stand coming out from the tip.}

STRONG BAD: You photographers know what I'm talking about. Oh man, this thing could be like, somebody's graduation announcement. Lessee...

{Strong Bad writes words below Cannonmouth's picture in cursive.}

STRONG BAD: {writing} "Class of '88!!". Cannonmouth, the new classic!
