The Cat and Mouse Stories of Eddie and Gulper

Gulper hates Ed, but Ed's feelings for Gulper don't share the equal hate. Ed fully understands that business men like Gulper need to run their business the best way he can, but Gulper doesn't need to be a jerk. Ed and Nessie once worked for a non-profit organization that was made to improve the living quality of fish and all ocean creatures. They would often cross paths with Gulper and his crazy free market schemes. Ed got his Cave house while trying to defend the thousands of barnacles, mussels, clams and other things that live in the cave. Gulper wanted to turn it into an apartment complex (like the ones that are a bed/bath that cost $1200 a month to live there and are marketed to families with 5+ kids, and they just dump apartments). Ed wanders deep through the cave and sees just how amazing everything is and won't allow the barnacles to be homeless. Ed gets lost in the cave but finds a cavern full of jewels. He feels wrong about stealing anything from it but grabs a necklace and vows never to take anything from the cavern again. He pawns the necklace which was valuable enough to buy the property from the previous owner to prevent Gulper from buying it. Gulper was fully aware of the jewels in the cave but was never thin enough to get them himself. So often times Gulper comes to Ed with a friendly proposition to buy out his cave, and Ed refuses every time.

Ed was walking along one day and sees a nest of fish eggs left all alone on the top of a large reef cliff. Not seeing any other fish around, Ed feels the need to watch over them to make sure they don't get hurt. He cuddles them, spins them around with currents, and reads them stories. As the night grows closer Ed gets worried about it getting too cold, so he decides to stay the night there. Not long after the sea grows dark, a crowd of construction workers come up from the deep and start to set up equipment around the far end of the reef bank away from Ed. They slowly move closer as they blow up and take apart pieces of the reef and set up new ugly houses. Ed gets more worried as they get closer, and soon enough one of the head construction guys pokes Ed around yelling at him to leave. Ed won't cause the Eggs still need to hatch. The construction guy calls the main boss of the project, and it turns out to be Gulper. Gulper remembers Ed putting up large protests of reef construction in the past, so he goes through a speech about he has the right to build here and how the houses he's building will give more homes to fish then the reef does now. Ed just weakly shows Gulper the Eggs and Gulper just gets grossed out (thinking they're his). Gulper says that if he's not gone by the morning, they're blowing up the whole reef with him on it. So Ed shields the eggs from flying debris and tells them stories the rest of the night. When the morning drew close, Ed closed his eyes and slept gently, but the eggs around him started to hatch and swim away. Ed woke up to see the last few swim off, waving to Ed with thanks. Ed gets up, dusts himself off and is about to head home when a big angry fish comes in yelling at Ed about eating her eggs. Gulper hears the commotion and, with the police man he had called to escort Ed away from the site, they check out the scene. The Lady fish is in tears thinking that this eel has eaten all of her babies and starts to beat on him. The police man ask Ed if this is true and Ed looks to Gulper to confirm that it isn't. Gulper looks to the police man and says he can neither confirm or deny if this "carnivore" had eaten her babies, he seemed pretty insistent on not wanting to leave, which is why he called the cops, to arrest this suspious interloper. The police man is about the arrest Ed when a few babies come back and tell them how he took care of them while the reef was being blown up. They let Ed go and the policeman scolds the mother about not being there to watch her own children. Don't expect another celebrity to come around and babysit your kids. Gulper just sneers under his umbrella (now that the sun is up) and leaves back into the dark.

In an Asian toy factory, Gulper and Koshi arrive to see a scene of chaos and dismay. Gulper is furious over the incompetents of his works, as they haven't finished a single toys in two weeks. The toy factory leader apologies to Gulper saying that the newest toy they had been working on is so crazy and unstable that it caused a halt of production. Gulper wants to see this toy, and they bring it out in a chained up box. Gulper opens it without fear and the employees duck and cover. Gulper turns the device on and it starts to tick-tock like a metronome. Soon all the fish start to bounce their heads to the beat the toys gives off and toy yells out "Are you ready?" Koshi smacks it out of Gulper's hands and turns it off. Koshi points out that the beat seemed to be sending out ultrasonic waves in the water that effected the lateral line of the fish. Seeing how it caused so much chaos to his factory workers, Gulper decides to send the toy as a gift to a friend. Back in CA, Eddie gets a gift from Gulper saying that his company wants to build toys for Eddie's show and they sent this one as a sample. Ed starts up the toy with the whole fish staff around, and the Toy calls out "Are you Ready?", and they all start to dance to some poppin music. Not long, Jenny comes in to see all the fish jumping around like crazy, and breaking things. The toys starts to poke and prod at Jen as she chases it around to turn it off. She finally smashes the thing into little pieces and all the fish feel sad about it. All Jen has to do is make a point that it's from Gulper and Ed gets an idea to send over his improvements to the toy. Gulper and Koshi get the toy back and it plays a Russian song that makes you kick other people in the ass.

One day Ed was doing a segment where he almost lets a swear slip, the kids get scared but Jen defends Ed by saying that she sure the kids heard their parents swear more then Ed. He laughs at Jen and says he sure she's swears more then Sailor in a FRoWN meeting. So Ed takes a moment to talk about swears and how at a certain point in your life where you'll get so upset you just need to swear, and then it's ok, cause swearing does make you feel better. Sharks says to swear at objects, like when your computer breaks on you...you're not going to hurt the computer's feelings. But they all agree it's not classy to throw bad words around cause they're bad. Gulper was watching this program and thought it would make a perfect opportunity to call the studio heads, to complain about Ed telling children it was ok to swear. The studio comes to Jen and Ed a week later with a list of words they're no longer allowed to say cause they're naughty or bad. Ed and friends feel frustrated about this and decide to make up their own words to replace the naughty sounding ones. By the end of the production the things they were saying sounded more nasty then actually saying them with the real words. The studio calls them on this again and adds more words to the list. The next episode, noone says a word. Everything is mimed out or written. The studio doesn't like this either and when they talk to Ed about this he gets upset about every word they say acting as if they were bad words. The boss takes a hint and rips apart the list of words and Ed gets to say what he wants again. Gulper smashes his TV in anger.

Deep Sea Spooks - Halloween Ep Plot Summery

Eddie and his pals have been setting up a huge Halloween party for the local Reef People to attend. Eddie's home, a cave not far from the mainland of California, is a place where many reef fish are welcome to visit him in the Glee Room. This is especially true for the local kids in the area and Halloween night is no exception.

Ed dressed up as Bela Lugosi's Dracula and was serving the kids something to sink their teeth into. While Ed loves candy and sweets, he gives out fruits that you can dip into a different sort of sweetness: peaches and cream, peanut butter banana slices, and chocolate strawberries. He asks that you take the fruit without the dips (despite the risk of getting egged or TP'd)

Jen is a witch, but most kids aren't sure if she's really in costume. She gives the kids BUG treats; bug filled lollipops, gummy worms, and chocolate covered ants (Ed keeps sneaking the gummy worms). Shark is a big time movie director, and he gives the kids chilled (Jell-O) monkey brains, chocolate dino eggs, and Reese's Pieces (Ed keeps sneaking the monkey brains too). Ed and Jen give Shark a hard time because his treats aren't that creative.
Shark: "They are TOO creative. You're just out of the loop."
Jen: "Are these Dino Eggs just Easter eggs?"
Shark just looks guilty

So while Ed and the Reef Folk have a gay ol' time near the surface, the fish of the deep are stirring and fuming. Gulper gathers a small group of fellow men and tells them about the gigantic amount of candy the reef people have. The hard working people of the deep deserve some of their candy as well, and if the Reefers won't give them treats, then the Spooks will give them tricks.

Slowly, the creatures crawl up from the depths to sneak up on the kids and houses of the reef. A few kids who were heading home after visiting Eddie's house are cut off by a group of Spooks. The Spooks make scary faces at them and the kids run away. They run until they find the local bullies and beg the bullies to take out the scary fish. The bullies look at the kids and offer their assistance for candy but are interrupted by Spooks sneaking up behind them. They all run away to the one person they think can be scarier.

Back at Eddie's house, Shark is running out of monkey brains and starts giving kids more "East...Easter Dino Eggs"
Kids: "Easter Dino Eggs?"
Shark: "Yeah from the Raptor Jesus"
The kids rush into Ed's house, scared silly, begging for Jen to scare off the Spooks. The three grown ups look outside and see a nice crowd of deep sea fish gathering around Ed's place. Ed asks why the kids didn't run home first seeing how that would be the safest thing to do. Ed soon sees that the Spooks are just stalking outside people's houses and the police won't do anything because they're creeped out as well. Jen gets miffed at the kids thinking that she's scarier then the Spooks but she agrees to go out and give the Spooks a run for their money. Jen gets Shark to rush out of the cave with her and start screaming and yelling at the fish to go away. While a few run off, others stick around, not sure what Jen and Shark are trying to do ("Hay wow that's kinda cool." "I didn't know someone's face could do that").

Shark and Jen return feeling accomplished and are willing to assist to walk the kids safely home, until they feel a growing rumble. They look outside the windows to see a large group of Deep Sea Fish coming over the horizon. Jen and Shark run back outside, trying to scare off the fish again but fail when the fish just scream at them. Jen and Shark run away with Gulper laughing at them. He calls to the reef people to surrender all the treats in their house, or they're in for a terrible trick.

Inside everyone assumes the worst. Jen starts to file out her two week notice and bullies cry out for their mothers. With a grand plan and strong will, Eddie walks out of his house to face Gulper and the mob. Ed announces to Gulper that his mob of Spooks are not scary at all and he will take what ever tricks the Spooks can dish out if it means they leave the reef alone. Gulper asks if he's sure, and that once he's failed, they can have anything in his house (hinting at a few treasures that lurk deep in Ed's abode). Ed agrees and dares Gulper's mob to do their worst. And thus the DeepSea Haunts begin!



The Song is Black Mission Goggles by Man-Man. While the lyrics do not fit the theme the characters and what they're doing (the song does talk about cocaine use, not a kid friendly song) the intense sound and crazy beat should stir your imagination.
(NOTE: Please be be courteous with this mp3, as it is hosted by a friend with sensitive bandwidth and asks that if the traffic gets too crazy that I should take it down. If you like the song listen to it once or ask me to e-mail it to you~Thank you)
The monsters march up and around Ed. They pull on him and toss him around like a bean bag. These monsters play music solos with their guts, small fish grow up into large beasts, some create large web like tentacles. Fish start to chew on the side of the TV screen while others dance and giggle to their haunting song. The spookier they are the crazier they are. The madness doesn't stop, and Ed keeps his sanity. Gulper sees that the Eel is not breaking as easily as he thought, so he steps in during the confusion and smacks Eddie out of the mob deep into the caverns of the deep. The mob ask Gulper if it was necessary to be so rough with him but carry on and laugh thinking that it meant they won. They continue to dance without knowing their pray is no longer in the heap.

Ed lands deep below in the darkness of the deep. Shaken up from being punched out by Gulper, Ed sits and calls a defeat. From the darkness he sees small glowing lights come towards him. He cringes up thinking it's more of the giant fish, but to his surprise, it's a group of small fish dressed in cute costumes. They look at Ed in mournful confusion, as if wondering if he can help them. Ed smiles and gets an idea.

The people back in Ed's home start to worry. Jen seriously starts to consider surrender and tries to offer one of the kids as a sacrifice. The ghouls smash hard at Ed's doors, trying to force their way into his house. Several spooks at this point start to wonder if they had gone too far, and ask Gulper why they still need to hunt for candy. Gulper ignores their comments and pushes onward.

All of a sudden, a large roar calls out from behind the mob. Everyone stops and looks at the new large approaching mob from the deep. The Spooks start to get scared and quite down. Gulper gets terrified as he sees Ed leading the group. Ed announces to the new group, "Here they are, they've been up here this whole time."
The Mob in a feminine sounding roar calls out "WHAT!??"
Gulper looks around at his mob and asks," What is this?"
The mob replies, "It's our Wives..."

Ladies come up form the larger mob, scolding and beating their husbands, telling them it was wrong to be stealing candy from other people. Why would they need to steal candy when they should be tricker treating with their kids like normal parents? The men point to were Gulper was standing, saying it was his idea to take the candy from the rich reef folk. Gulper however, manages to sneak away back to his mansion in the deep.

The wives start to get more violent but Ed steps up and tells them that it was ok. Halloween is about spooks and it was his idea to bring them up to give the reef people a nice scare. The husbands look at their wives nodding their heads, but the ladies don't seem convinced. Ed then invites the fish into his house to share in his treats, just so long as they give back the candy they stole.

So Ed invites all the deep sea children in his home to have a killer party with the other fish. In the end the reef kids and deep sea kids got along. Ed looks to Jen and Shark to tell them how everything turned out so well that this party can last all night long but the two of them are dead asleep.

Gulper Eel Need Design Help.

Help, it's Halloween Month and my main villain isn't even complete yet.

This is Gulper, he is the main antagonist for Eddie Eel. He is from the south...deep south...in the ocean..yeah duh but he does have a thick accent. What I'm having problems here is that I can't seem to find a good design and make him as flexible and fit in with the other characters. While stock characters seem to flow out on the paper for me, Gulper however is stuck in the development stage, villains always seem to want give you a hard time don't they.

The designs at the bottom of this page are close to how I want him but it's not fluid looking enough. A good villain needs a good design and I think when I did these bottom ones I was being to accurate to a real animals forme and forgot how to cartoonify it. Either way I just seem really lost. Love to get some feed back on him.

What works, what doesn't? Should I make him look more like a real gulper eel or should I kiddify him more? Neck too long or not long enough? Head too big or not big enough? What type of "hair" should I give him or does he look better bald? Give me your thoughts.

Just to give you an idea of what type of villain he is I'll give you some youtube vids...think less singing though. I'm not a 5 time award wining muscle genius...odd how it seems that deep southern voiced people need to sing.

SHOW PITCH: Eddie Eel

New character Idea. Eddie Eel. Lets start with the Spongebob Picture that inspired me the idea.

So I was just playing around with some alternate outfits for Spongebob when I had a vision of him in this Orange suit here. Thought it'd make a funny ep just for the two of them to host a kids show like the old live action Saturday morning shows from the 70's (Like Captain Kangaroo, Uncle Croc's Block, or PeeWee Herman if Spongebob himslef wasn't based off PeeWee allready) . As my mind started to work around this idea I started to wonder why would they get to host a show and then I started to think that it could be a show of a TV program they watch. Eddie Eel came to mind NO problem, like it was already there. Shark was supposed to be a fat spongebob styled Fish in an outfit, so he looked pretty generic in my mind but his voice set him apart because it sounded so normal and calm (Thinking now a high pitched Seth Rogen, not much higher cause his voice is too low but his voice on it's own would work for him too). Anyway the more I acted out Eddie's conversation with Sponge (while he was ordering a Krabby Patty) Shark sees that they're almost like twins in Energy, the kid should get his own show. Eddie gets an idea and jams his head into sponges and in a whirl (like a circle) the two of them change cloths and Ed says Sponge should host a show and He cook patties for today, just to have fun. Shark just lets Ed do what he wants and give Pat his outfit and they convince the staff on the show that they are the originals. IN the end, Sponge did an ok job hosting the show but people started to catch on that he's not really Ed and in the nick of time Ed comes back to end the show right. He thanks Sponge for letting him cook patties even though he was terrible at it (almost got sponge fired but paid Krabs a load to save Sponges job) but it didn't matter because he had a great time doing it. That's Ed's motto "It doesn't matter if you're good or bad at what you do, as long as you had fun doing it."

So I spent about a day working on different character designs. Just gonna say that I showed to my sister and her friend and they liked the antenna idea (not the hair, but only slightly), they liked the 1st drawing (on the top left) and the full body pose. I'm really happy I have this page because it shows the though process and it's just awesome I experimented with different looks.

The pose page I think I got down how I want him to look but I notice that when I try to draw him strait up and down, his design fails (in any style). But there are some great poses here that work well. He would be a loud green color.

Shark is pretty simple. Where ed is complex Shark should be easy to draw for anyone. I need to give him cloths but I've settled on the designs at the bottom. Making him cute will make his naggy whiny times seem more bearable. He's not a scardy cat because usually Ed's fixes the problems he starts in the end, but he does get embarrassed to be around him in public at times. He would be a blue gray but I need to look at other sharks to pic which species he should be.

Jenny Nix I had to do some research on. She's the shows producer/publicist. She's always on stage and Ed cuts to her to get her opinion which she usually just gives him a blank stare back or a grimace face of protest and anger. Jenny is a Nixie, which is like a mermaid but an evil water spirit. They can change shape and form to drag people into the waters. Jenny is named after Jenny Greenteeth, which is an English Nixie famous in folklore. She's got an otter nose and sharp teeth, but I'm still not sure which style I want to go with her but her design can change to an otter if I need it to. She would be a Deep teal or with some peach highlights.

Gulper (codenamed but i might keep that), is a Gulper eel from the deep ocean depths. He wants Ed's show and add the deep sea touch to it. Not much else I've thought about his purpose other then to be like Oogie Boogie. Creepy, mean, loud, and golly. He'd have his own side kicks, a crazy fish with a big nose and a Kappa (a Japanese turtle demon that drowns people too) for his publicist.

PLEASE give reviews. Thanks. I'll have more to show later.
