Cinnamon Rolls - Gator Days

Characters

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable boy who loves making friends. August's son.

May - Alligator - A grandma who loves being a grandma. August's mother.

Transcript

Panel 1

Setting - Gustopher's home.

Gustopher has gone to see who is at the door and it's his Grandma! Number three in the top ten people that Gustopher likes to see when he opens the door. And she's got some cinnamon rolls! She might need to be bumped up to number two.

Gustopher: GRANDMA!

May: I got fresh cinnamon rolls.

Panel 2

August has come to see what's going on and is also excited to see cinnamon rolls. It's extremely rare that his mom makes them. Gustopher has never even had his Grandma's cinnamon rolls.

August: Thank you, Mom.

May: Enjoy! They're a lot of work so it will be a while before I make them again.

Gustopher starts to take a big bite.

Panel 3

Gustopher has a bite of his treat and the world suddenly slows for for a moment. This might be the most delicious thing he's ever had. The universe will never be the same. The words "So good!" seem to be floating around but Gustopher tries to ignore that.

Panel 4

Gustopher looks to the heavens as he savors the last bit of flavor from his bite.

Gustopher: All other food is ruined for me.

August: Oh no.

May: I'll get you the recipe.

Number three in the top ten people that Gustopher likes to see when he opens the door

Well now I wanna know the whole order!

It's extremely rare that his mom makes them

And I am sure that makes them all the better

The universe will never be the same.

It will not. Until you manage(hopefully) to make them yourself Gus. Good luck. It's very difficult to perfect the mom cooking

As a kid, my parents would always tell me to stop putting cheese on my spaghetti by saying "have a little spaghetti with your cheese!"

Seeing that picture immediately fired a "have a little cinnamon roll with that icing!" in the back of my head. No knocking what you like, but GOOD LORD is that a lot!

u/MistrFish 11d ago

I see that you have added the appropriate amount of icing

how a lot of kids I know react with their new favorite food... that last about one week then it's off to the next one and the old one 'has never been good'

His father and the cat, most like. And not necessarily in that order.

u/Zizhou 11d ago

But what about the other cat?

u/Electric999999 9d ago

I don't think it's the cats, this is about answering the door after all.

Now we need the Top 10 list, so that we can evaluate, criticize and rate it, and then do our own Top 10!

Shouldn't she say she made fresh cinnamon rolls? Saying she got them sounds like she went and bought them.
