The *new* Dear Abby and Rock the Space Croc take over Williamsburgh

Posted on July 18, 2006 by Michelle Penaloza

Though the tutors outweighed the tutored (in number and actual size), the ideas and creativity abounded in our cozy Superhero Annex.

James, our resident advice-giver and problem-solver, crafted insightful responses to letter littered with burning questions: "My roommates shaved my cats' hair without my permission. Now they look horrible! What do I do and what should I say to my roommates?" and "What is the meaning of life?" James also tackled some seemingly unsolvable problems: ("Help! I have no ideas!")

Brothers Joseph and Kobe created a space adventure spawned from the word, "astrophysics." Their tale brought to life a one, Rock the Space Croc: a space crocodile with no arms, no mouth, no stomach and no space helmet. Despite a seemingly ineffective form, Rock can, and does, battle with Space Turtles and Space Clocks.

Some other highlights:
--Comic book creations, with one including homage to the timeless musical, Grease.
--Discussions of the grossest pizza toppings; some (un)mentionables: dirty gyms socks, blood, a cat with a mouse in its mouth, and toothpaste.

Even the afternoon's torrential rain couldn't wash us away.
