The Deoster (1): The hero buid [built]
[enscribed on background building:] The White building

Commentary:
This design was a bit of a mix of Captain America (a superhero I didn't actually like that much at the time), pirates, Spiderman in terms of personality (I was watching a lot of Ultimate Spider-Man in small pirated chunks on YouTube at the time), and some toys I had as a kid (most notably the wooden sword).
I don't know if it's "the White Building" because I misremembered the name of the White House or if I wanted it to be some sort of play on it.

Don't miss the second book coming April 10th:
The deoster

Commentary:
I'm unsure if I stuck to these dates in any way, but I wanted to look credible. At the time my big inspirations in wanting to make books like these were George and Harold from Captain Underpants and the art YouTuber Mark Crilley.

This puts it around 2013–2014. I'm glad I included this because otherwise it'd be harder to date.

8

Then, deoster wakt [wacked] long head in the face and said "go to jail for blowing up my brain!!!"

9

8

Transcript:
"Oh, no["] said deoster "Escape!"

Commentary:
I highly doubt I misspelled the word "no," so this appears to be another case of self-censorship. We can only imagine what vulgarities came out of the deoster's mouth here.
