welcome to my world
I am in so much trouble with myself. There's a dummy I need to be working on, but I have cupcakes on the brain or something. This IS a sketch for another story idea, but not the one I should be working on right now.
I've already mentioned what I would do if I won the lottery--open the Bebop Bakery. And because I don't actually play the lottery I've decided to build my bakery on paper in 32 page picture book form.
There's an empty storefront on my block that used to be a lawnmower store or something. And I know it would make the perfect bakery. Everytime I walk by it I think of how I'd decorate it and what comestibles we'd bake. I'd buy a big European oven the size of a car. BUT instead of one big chimney I'd get someone to rig me organ pipes as the chimney outlet instead (does this happen in a Disney movie or am I dreaming?) And they'd be able to toot songs like the one below when I'm baking or every hour on the hour, whichever is less annoying.
I don't know why bakeries don't have singing ovens, but in my world they do. Wouldn't you pay attention to an oven if it rhymed at you? Or at least tooted tunes? I would. Bebop would. He's the hero of this story after all.

I love this idea. I wish I could go to a lovely little bakery every single day and pick out a treat for myself and eat it at a table with a polka dotted table cloth. Tooting chimneys would be a bonus. But I don't think daily bakery visits go well with Weight Watchers. one of the best things about traveling in Europe is sort of having to go to a bakery every morning for a pastry and coffee. What else are you going to do? And you know you'll walk it off anyway! Also, isn't being a writer/illustrator totally the best way to do things you can't ACTUALLY do in real life (not that you couldn't open a bakery) -- you can write and draw them instead!
