I had to excerpt this from page 2:

I can picture that rosy-cheeked shy smile and the sparkling brown eyes, but - "bulbous"? NEVER have discerned he was a brilliantly illuminated star? Fie!

Old Hollywood Omens

I need more of these...

Guh.

Peter Lorre from "Der Verlorene."

Screw you *Fernand Legers your Lorre*

Peter's eyes are so big and doll-like. I wish they made official Peter Lorre dolls :( I wanna brush his hair and dress him up in poofy dresses💔

Be careful what you wish for!

Peter Lorre 1935

Slappy meets Peter Lorre

Ohhh! This'll be interesting! The Peter Lorre fish meeting THE Peter Lorre human. I wonder how that'll go. For some reason I can't help but imagine it'll go similarly to Hilary Cummings reacted to the Hand™ 🔪 🔪 🔪 🔪 

I mean, it must be disturbing to see a fucked up zombie fish creature that managed to escape containment from the recently radiated waters surrounding Bikini Atoll. Slappy was already a weirdo amongst his kind, imagine putting him amongst humans! That must be even more disturbing.

As for Slappy, what's he doing on the surface? Was he even born then? Idk but let's pretend he was and already an adult and freshly undead.

You know how sometimes in SpongeBob the characters sometimes watch stuff on TV and for some reason they show a lot of black and white clips? I remember Kaz making a joke that the fish of Bikini Bottom collect stuff that sinks from the surface (books and whatever) and that's how they're exposed to human culture. Anyways I'm going to build off of that. Maybe that's hiw Slappy was introduced to Peter Lorre? A ship carrying movie reels accidentally sank and the fish of Bikini Bottom collected and distributed it. Slappy collected a great deal of horror film reels to watch and he sees Lorre in them and is like "wow! that guy is just like me fr". He becomes so enamored that he just HAS to meet the guy! So he goes on his own lil trip to the surface world. Don't worry about him needing water, he's undead after all. Tho I can see him driving a little aquariam type car-thing, similar to the aquariam bus Rube drove in Spongebob's Big Birthday Blowout.

So he makes his lil trip, ends up in Hollywood in search of his hero. Eventually encountering the Peter Lorre human and tugs at his pant leg to get his attention.

Lorre looks down and sees this THING™ that looks like came of a Looney Tunes production and is rightfully horrified.

Slappy on the other hand would be like a shy fan girl meeting his hero. he'd fidget with his fins and tell Lorre that he's such a big fan of his. He loooves watching him in the pictures, he has such fabulous death scenes! He especially loves the movie where he gets stabbed in the neck <3 Slappy would ask very sheepishly to extract a tooth for his collection. But you see, with Lorre that's not exactly possible because he lacks the facilities. I think he'd give some hair instead.

I think all in all, as much as Lorre is horrified by Slaps, I think he'd accept him. He is an animal lover after all, and Slappy slithers like a snake, crawls like a bug, has the intelligence of an orange cat, and is literally a fish so it works out in the end 👍

Extra: I think Lorre wouod take Slappy to see The Three Stooges and watch the Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry shorts together. Slappy LOVES violent Slapstick after all, that's why he loves The Patrick Show so much, so this is all up his alley. Imagibe how he'd react when he'd sees a fellow in Hair Raising Hare that looks just like him <3

I did a painting 👀
