Description: Xan was sick, yo! Here's what went down!

This morning I was roused from slumber by Baby Xan tapping at my pressurized hyperbaric sleep chamber. I lifted the dome and asked what was wrong.

“I don’t feel good, bish!” He replied.

I noted that his blueberry like skin was now tinged with angry red splotches. I asked if he had been eating the Tide pods from the laundry room again, but he denied it. That’s when I felt his forehead. He was running a terrible fever. But there was another strange symptom.

“The rhythm!” He cried. “It consumes me!”

And yes, his legs were shaking, and his hips gyrating. We would need to see a doctor fast.

So piling into my magical shopping cart, we rolled down to the strip mall to see Dr. Taco, Baby Xan’s pediatrician. After an hour of poking, prodding and reading chicken bones, Dr. Taco had the answer.

“It’s just as I feared,” He frowned, “Baby Xan is suffering from Rockin’ Pneumonia, coupled with a minor case of Boogie Woogie Flu.”

“Holy music based maladies,” I cried, “what can we do?!”

“The rhythm inside him needs to be released. His soul craves to dance!”

“My feet are like lovers, they yearn to embrace the floor!” Xan exclaimed.

“Quickly!” Dr. Taco, cried. “He needs music! Good music!”

And thus we were on our way, after the complimentary chimichangas. First we went to see pop singing sensation, Mayonnaisé. As we watched her twerk across the stage, I hoped that her pre-recorded stylings would cure Baby Xan. But he turned away in disgust.

“No! Enough of this disposable pop trite! I need real music!”

So then we headed to the Moldy Stones concert. This gave me hope, as the crowd seemed to be enjoying the show. As Dick Stagger, balancing his guitar on his walker, rocked the stage, geriatric lovelies let their bloomers rain down from above. But Xan was having none of it.

“The rhythm in me wants to live, and you bring me corpses! I crave relevance!”

I was at a loss. That’s when Palms Solo, my old sensei, appeared from the fifth dimension. Wiping the ectoplasm from his brow, he said to me, “You now there is only one way to cure Xan, Howdy. Use the bongos.”

“But sensei,” I moaned, “how can I? I haven’t played since the Titanic! All those people! My bongos couldn’t save them!”

“You shouldn’t have been playing in the theater anyway, Howdy.”

“But the pretentiousness of that film… It was horrible.”

Dismounting his multi-colored space koala, he approached me and took me by the shoulder. “Look, look at Xan. Look at that oddly shaped blue blob and see his torment.” And as I looked, I saw that thing that lives in my house for some reason, legs trembling, desperately trying to enjoy a hobo playing the spoons. I knew what I had to.

I summoned my bongos and began to play. I felt rusty at first, but the cosmos would not allow me to forget. And soon, Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me” began to flow through me.

The music lifted up from the bongos, like sticky rainbow bubble tape, and wrapped itself around Baby Xan. And he began to dance! Dance like none had done before! And the rhythm began to seep from him like diamonds! And the birds stopped singing! And the wind stopped blowing! And old timey newspaper boys stopped shouting! All to hear the song and see Xan dance!

And when I was done, I was exhausted. The spirit of Boy George left me, and I looked up. Baby Xan stood there… still. The rhythm freed from his body.

“Thank you, human I tolerate. Thank you.”

Picking him off the ground, I held Xan in my arms. “Let’s go get some ice cream.” And we walked off into the sunset... which was really the early afternoon. So it was still pretty sunny. But a sunset would have been a nice dramatic backdrop. But that’s all moot now. Uh… The End

why, um, shaking and gyrating hips? made me think of Elvis

Description: I've created a cozy little corner for Baby Xan. He's got a soft comfy blanket and toys to play with. It's also important, I think, for children to have a nice nutritional snack and something healthy to drink.

Oh my. Only just seen this and the event ends tomorrow. I'm not crafty at all though and my camera is blurry and dark. I'll try tomorrow if I have time but its not looking promising! :(

Don't have my laptop either so portrait and comic may have to be drawn. And I cannot draw haha

HIM can't draw either. Have you seen HIM's MS Paint art.

Haha yeah your comic was great too. I've only got my kindle though so I can't use paint and the camera has no flash or focus so I don't think its going to work out :(
