Today Jojo draws The Human Torch.

This week I’ve been having Jojo draw the Fantastic Four. She’s now drawn them all, having done Mr. Fantastic, Thing and Invisible Woman already.

This drawing of Human Torch is fairly accurate. She did draw him with fire instead of arms, as opposed to having arms on fire. Does that make sense? Anyway, I like that he’s in a similarly joyous pose as his older sister was yesterday.

When she handed me this, Jojo said, “I gave him hot pants… get it? Because… he’s…. get it? …. get it?” She then devolved into unintelligible giggling.

For several minutes.

Today Jojo draws Invisible Woman!

This week Jojo is drawing members of the Fantastic Four. She did very well with Thing, and pretty well with Mr. Fantastic, but she was less sure of herself with Invisible Woman.

Me: “Draw another one of the Fantastic Four.”

Jojo: “Okay, um.. well there’s the token woman, right?”

Me: “Yep.”

Jojo: “I don’t know what her power is… when was she created?”

Me: “1961”

Jojo: “So… she probably shoots birth control pills from her hands? Wait, does she turn invisible?”

Me: “Yes.”

Jojo: “Alright, I drew her but I couldn’t figure out how to put the 4 symbol over her breasts.”

Me: “Lots of real comic artists have that problem too.”

Jojo: “I put it on her belly.”

Today Jojo draws Mr. Fantastic!

It was recently brought to our attention that Jojo hasn’t drawn the Fantastic Four yet. I apologize for this oversight. My idea is to do the FF the way we did Doctor Who, where I just tell Jojo, “Draw a member of the Fantastic Four” until she’s got four of them (rather than give her hints by telling her their names).

She handed me this drawing and said, “I drew a stretchy guy. There’s a stretchy guy, right?” Yes there is Jojo and his name is Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic. She got his costume just about right, the gloves and boots should be white or black, it should be white around the 4 symbol, and Reed doesn’t wear a mask of any kind.

The best part of this is that she gave him skinny stretchy limbs, but a lumpy potato-filled body. Jojo knows you can’t tell he’s a super hero if he doesn’t have lumpy potato muscles.
