That is hilarious! Years ago I did something very similar. I had an instructor in school whom I liked, but he was often criticized by the student body for being boring and droning on. He would make dry jokes about it in class. At one point I got a copy of his school picture and made it into a flip book, all of that identical image. The front page read, “Responding to criticism, Brian becomes more animated”. I dropped it off at the teacher’s lounge and they all loved it, Brian most of all.
After the Big Bang, Penny fell asleep, Leonard fretted about being disappointing. Sheldon was smacking on the door 3 times, calling out Penny’s name. Amy tried to drag Sheldon back into their apartment to have their own Big Bang. Howard and Bernadette were exhausted and falling asleep. Raj and Stuart were watching Howard’s brood and arguing about Tony Stark and Riri’s hardware upgrades and if they could beat Bruce Wayne and the Bat Family. Raj doesn’t think it would be fair if Batman could use Nightwing, because, “look at him, he is some sort of adonis!” SO YES, a lot of stuff happened just after the big bang….
Remember ‘Ally McBeal’? My favorite Aunt loved the dancing baby so I made her a flip book of the baby. She was 70 at the time. She thought I should go into business making flip books. It was hard explaining to my aunt about copyrights and such.

Little Neuro sure is a very productive boy, isn’t he?

Okay, so he didn’t do anything noteworthy.

If Petey made the images accurately enough they DIDN’T move, that’s HUGE!!

The night-shirt is a nice touch as a call-back to Little Nemo.

Petey: " I titled it ‘Little Neuro @ the Nervous Hospital’!" Alice: “I hope that refund request Mom made to the Cartoon Camp works out!”

Whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about Little Neuro’s adventures. I’m going to take a nap.

Petey is going to grow up to be an cosmologist and specialize in the first 60 sec of the creation of this universe. Maybe the first 30 seconds

I definitely saw him inhale and exhale too…

You’re awesome, Petey!

Draw the Empire State Building. Now draw it about 9 million more times. You’ve just recreated Andy Warhol’s “Empire” in flip-book form!

Petey causes me to laugh. An unusual child to say the least. What’s so funny?, he’s really serious about his exceptional quirks

I see Little Neuro is appropriately wearing an in-patient asylum gown…

Alice does not fully appreciate the complexity of Little Neuro, nor the painstaking labor Petey put into his flip book.
(And it’s better than the naughty flip books that some “big kids” showed me on the bus to school, long, long ago…..)

Petey would probably like black-and-white Bergman films. Alice has no use for subtlety or meditation.

And artists with OCD make the best animators.
