Strange request- help me write a comic book :)

Isaac is in love with superheroes and comic books and has created his own superhero persona: Fireman. He can shoot fire out of his hands to fight bad guys. He calls Jude Bubbleman and he shoots bubbles out of his mask for fun but can shoot water out to fight bad guys or fire- that way if Fireman's flames get out of control, Bubbleman is there to help. This whole thing is his brain creation and he's really into it.

His birthday is in a couple of weeks and I am working on a complete Fireman outfit for him as a gift. He's going to FLIP.

Last night, I told Shaun that he should use his computery skills and make a Fireman comic book.

Which is why I'm asking you for help:

I need a simple storyline that is appropriate for a 4 year old involving a superhero that can shoot fire.

Writers and comic book readers: whatcha got?

  • Oh my gosh, I love this. 

    Does Fireman have an arch nemesis? Every comic book needs an arch nemesis.

  • Thinking that it could maybe be something about camping- like some bad guy has done something (??) so that the campers can't have campfires and all the kids want are some roasted marshmallows so Fireman has to come defeat the bad guy and start the campfires?

    This is great! Maybe the archnemesis stole all the matches and lighters for some master plan of his. Hmmm...

  • So maybe the arch nemesis' evil plan is just to destroy fun. He is Fun Destroyer. Or something. And his evil plan is to take away all the matches and lighters from the campers so that they can't have campfires or set off their fireworks at the end of the night. 

    Then, Bam, Fireman comes to save the day!

  • You can add a subplot in there about how he also sucks all the water out of the swimming hole and Bubble Man fills it up for the campers to swim and play.

    Kids go camping. They want to build a campfire to roast marshmallows but it's been pouring down rain all day. Everything is wet, nothing will light, everyone is sad.

    Fireman swoops in to save the day! Lights a big crackling campfire. He even brings hot dogs for everyone.

    ETA: whoops sounds like we have similar ideas!

  • This is so so awesome!  I like the Fun destroyer idea from a PP.  And in the end Fireman lights all the campfires, but bubbleman is there to prevent forest fires. ;)

  • This is so cute I can't even stand it. I also feel slightly responsible for giving Isaac the superhero bug! 

    I like the idea of the Fun Destroyer since he wants to use the fire to stop bad guys. The subplot of the lake/river being dried up is good too since it will include Jude. What a fun idea!

  • The Fun Destroyer is so fun I cannot even deal.

    Would making Shaun a Fun Destroyer costume for the party and having him steal the cake totally over the top?

    The Fun Destroyer could steal the cake prior to the party and the kids (as Fireman and Bubbleman) would have to go "rescue" it.  With help, of course.

    I am dying at how freaking cute this is all going to be. You should totally submit the photos to Buzzfeed so Izey and Jude can be famous. LOL

  • I can't even deal with this.  Also, my grand babysitting tour has a new motivation now: seeing Shaun as Fun Destroyer.

    If you'll come to the boys' birthday party, I will get Shaun to wear a full superhero suit. 

    Also Jude would lose is everloving mind. Jude + Julie= Instant BFF
