Inspired by EDE's dream last night and based on Ibby's idea.
*to be updated later*
EDIT (7/15/16): Looks like this series grew a lot larger than either of us intended EDE's one off joke to be, but it's been a blast to do. For the "chapters" to our shenanigans, refer to the table of contents below (credits to Ibby for the clever titles ):
Awesomeness I totally wanted to start this but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to produce any material - but I think you are the right guy for the job, Stalgie!
I can sit here and eat popcorn and bask in your genius hehe
Edit: Stalgie and I added a Table of Contents! (this thread has gotten quite long )
I think our first adventure will involve me masquerading as you to take one exam, because (for some crazy reason involving you trying to impress a girl) you somehow ended up with two exams scheduled simultaneously!
(Seriously though, good luck Stalgie!)
The Peebz Robot can guest star to take the third exam. While Blaze suspects something is up and starts trying to follow me around campus in a jealous rage!
Might I recommend using TinyPic? It's a temporary photo sharing website that will let you upload your picture to the web long enough to get the URL and then link it to the thread on LW!
Stalgie is a really diligent student. Before he goes to bed, he makes sure he attends to his chores...
*My fumettis tend to be full of word balloons, so I'm going to type in the dialogue below too. This should also compensate for any typos or obscured text.
Stalgie: Wow. I totally know I'm forgetting something important, but I don't care right now.
Girl: I think it has something to do with that guy screaming in Mandarin over there. Shouldn't you go check it out?
Stalgie: Does he seem like he's in mortal danger?
Girl: He seems to be on fire. And I mean literally.
Stalgie: Oh, good. Let's put him out in a few minutes. We need enough DNA over to prove it's him. *Chuckle* Cleome's inheritance, here I come!
Thanks! This is the beginning of a beautiful collaboration, Stalgie. Who knows, maybe one day we'll be discovered and have our own sitcom... I can dream...
By the way, Stalgie isn't the only one who thinks with his other head!
Ibby: Oh Blaze, I'm so glad you were free tonight. It's good having a night alone, just the two of us.
Blaze: Yeah. I mean, Stalgie's nice and all but he really should learn to depend on himself! You're almost like his exec assistant!
Ibby: Speaking of... did I remind him to fix his exam schedule? The poor guy keeps double-booking.
Blaze: *Sigh* Thinking of over men while we're about to kiss. Do I have to get my ruler out?
This wasn't the only time they got high together though... and one thing leads to another on their quest to get Stalgie a date!
Stalgie: So we came here to get me a date. But now we're in the finals, and all the other finalists are guys!
Ibby: I'm not complaining.
Stalgie: None of them are gay!
Ibby: That's what you think. Three of them already checked out my butt. So, we're not roomies tonight. I'm having a slumber party. I already packed your clothes.
Stalgie: *sputters* What? I'm telling Blaze!
Ibby: Who do you think sent the invites? So, don't room with that guy who asked you out for a drink. He's gonna give you a roofie. He told me he really likes your dimples and your hair.
A likely story. [taps foot] You're just trying to scare a rich old woman to death so you can get hold of her millions. And by "millions" I mean, "Whatever's left over tomorrow after I buy groceries and bus fare."
*raises hand* I'm not trying to scare you to death, cleome! In fact, I'm on my way to visit you with some nice homemade soup and pasta and blueberry wine!

It's a date. Tell Blaze he has to get his head out of those textbooks and join us, though.
The competition for Cleome's affections continues...
Ibby: Wow, cleome. You are such a great speaker. Look at the audience,all moved and teary-eyed.
Cleome: Why thank you, IB honey. And here I thought they were just bored to tears at my prattling.
Stalgie: You are such a suck-up, Ibby!
Ibby: Why, don't tell me you don't agree that Cleome is a good speaker, Stalgie? I don't believe you!
Stalgie: Hey, that's not what I meant!
Cleome: Stop shouting, Stalgie! I may be getting old but I'm not deaf! And I may have millions, but if I have to spend any on ear surgery, that amount is coming out of your next Christmas gift!
Aw, Stalgie. As a show of good will, here I am helping you out with your double-booked exams...
Stalgie: I can't believe I sprocking crashed my car.
Ibby: I told you we had to leave earlier! Now we only have 15 minutes to make it to your double-booked exams!
Stalgie: Speaking of... I thought you were supposed to be disguised as me. You don't look like me! You look like my nerdy wimpy cousin who hasn't hit puberty yet!
Ibby: Do you have any idea how long it took me to glue all this facial hair on?! Now do you want me to take your Psych exam or not?
Stalgie: *sigh* Are you even ready for it? You spent so much time putting on makeup. Have you read my notes?
Ibby: What notes? All I saw were little hearts with Melanie Iglesias' name in them. And by the way, you really should bring tissues along to your "study sessions". My gosh, your notebook smells like chlor-
Stalgie: Ooooookay! Let's go! Just wear a hoodie and pretend you're breaking out and remember to spell my name right!
Ibby: By the way, can Blaze and I seduce your prof? He's hot and I totally saw him checking me out yesterday.
Stalgie: Seriously? Hey, maybe you don't have to take that exam for me anymore...
*gasp* who is Gwendolyn? What past does she have with Stalgie? Does she have a hot gay brother? These and more important questions will be answered... soon!
We can brainstorm... but I think he can totally reveal why you didn't call Gwendolyn back, or maybe accidentally tell Melanie about Gwendolyn, or something like that!
Stalgie and Ibby finally take matters into their own hands, and try to sneak a peek at Gwen's room. Luckily, one of her sorority sisters lets them in...
I might actually finish this arc before you get back home from your vacation. That way you can be in direct control of the next story and focus on you and Blaze instead of my girl troubles.
Awesome! Go right ahead Stalgie. Dancing Queen is actually an original creation of mine so i'm really happy you're using her. Can't wait to see where this goes!
There ought to be a whole bunch of stills from Other Space that would be useful, but that was the only really great one I could find on a quick search.
Stalgie and Ibby decide to sneak into the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and get a photo op as astronauts, only... it looks like China and Russia are actually planning a REAL launch...
A still-high Stalgie manages to make it to the wedding banquet, and grabs Ibby and Stalgie for a little talk...
Stalgie: Come on, guys. Surely you can work it out. I pulled you into the suite so we can take a break and you can take a break from everything down there...
Blaze: I get why you're doing this, Ibby. But don't expect me to accept it! I should never have agreed to be the fake best man! Can you imagine watching your boyfriend sitting and playing kissy kissy with a fake bride, while you have to smile and be all best mannish and make a toast and greet the guests and stick to a fake story about how we met???? There were so many times I wanted to burn one of your relatives yammering at me in Mandarin!
Ibby: But Blaze baby, you said you wanted to be close to the action...and you agreed! Ans you know what it's like. I'm the eldest grandson, and frankly the one most likely to get laid. Have you seen my fugly cousins? They're all still virgins!
Blaze: Well, I agreed but I changed my mind! Get me out of here!
Stalgie: Aw Blaze, don't be so fickle-minded. You just have to stick to it until the end of the night. And Ibby has a point about the cousins. Gwen couldn't believe they were related to Ibby!
Blaze: Easy for you to say! Why don't you be the fake best man?!
Ibby: Hey, now, that's not a bad idea...
Stalgie: Hey, at least now you agree... Wait, what??!
In the meantime, Stalgie and Gwen are getting to know Ibby's family...
*the obscured speech balloon at the bottom says, "Funny you should say that..."
Stalgie: So, you're Ibby's favorite cousin?
Ibby's cousin: Yeah. But he never seems to be around when I call. Hey, your chick is hot. She have a hot sister? I'd like to show her my Jaguar. And my other Jaguar,if you know what I mean. Wink wink.
Gwen: Dude, I'm right here. And all my sisters are hot and are taken.
Ibby's cousin: Please. Once you go Chinese you never go back. You know that song, "She Bangs"? It was totally written for my family. We're all tigers in bed. Just ask my companion over there.
Stalgie: Yeah, about her. I saw you slip a hundred bucks into her hand. And when you tried to kiss her, she said that wasn't part of the contract.
Ibby's cousin: Oh, I just gave her money to go shopping. You know how women are. Hehe. And if she says anything about a contract she's kidding. I mean, she's lovely and has a sense of humor.
Gwen: Sense of humor? That must be why she decided to date you. You know, besides being a hooker.
Ibby's cousin: Escort, damn it! Escort! Okay, okay, my last girlfriend was in 5th grade. Bah! I hate Ibby! He's got all the brains and looks and body and the humor, and he's the only one who doesn't have to overcompensate. And our grandma loves him best and I wish I had thrown him off a bridge when we were kids! I wish he were gay or something, so grandma would disown him and notice one of us for once!
The LMB's rival boy band steps in too, and tries to stop the wedding themselves while showing up the other boy band! Can Dave Hackett, Cobie, Pov and Quis succeed??
There are still some plot threads we can pick up on too - besides the ones I mentioned above, there's Stalgie kissing Ibby's great-aunt Fiona and Gwen's revenge-date with one of IB's friends; Ibby's creepy cousin/s, and of course Ibby's family won't just go home immediately. And Blaze probably hasn't completely forgiven Ibby yet...
And just like that... Ibby and Stalgie hit Hong Kong!
PS maybe EDE will un-dream the whole problem... I bet he's still out there somewhere trying to sleep! (I totally had an idea for an Epilogue 2 with EDE!)
Stalgie decides to spring into action. First, he calls on his boyband bros for help...

Oh, try Googling "My Husband's Lover". Filipino soap about a married guy who rekindles his love affair with an old boyfriend. I've been using those pics for a lot of my Fumettis

Ibby: "Man, I wish I could grow a better beard. Blaze says it makes me look older, but I only get these patchy spots."
Stalgie: "I feel your pain. I wish I had a thicker mustache, but I've tried everything and nothing works."
Ibby and Stalgie together: "I wish there was something we could do. *sigh*"

Thanks! I might bring her back for other stuff, but I was getting tired of her character. This thread is about bros, bro! We can't have any girls here.
I locked myself in the Suspended Animation Chamber by mistake and missed everything! Oh, well. At least now I'm caught up. Plus that's three whole months where I didn't age a day, so...
I think you will also never make a will, knowing how competitive Stalgie and I get for your favor...

I think I saw a an old Colombo episode where the two rivals for the inheritance teamed up to bump the old lady off after they got tired of waiting around for Nature to take its course.
I may have to leave the entire fortune to Fat Cramer instead, on the condition she spend at least half of it on that Canuck Cat Sanctuary we talked about.

Was that the one where Martin Landau played the twin brothers who hated each other?
My gym is so peaceful compared to this. Even when we all want the same bike machine (the one that's not covered in creepy robotic blinky red lights), it rarely comes to blows or name-calling.
I guess some people need, er, constant stimulation to motivate them, though.
Yeah, that's how I got rich in the Ibby-Stalgie-verse: selling tons of genius entertainment concepts. Too bad the wealth isn't transferable back to this 'verse.
Ibby and Stalgie go on a night out with Rocky/NPH, but things soon turn to the sensitive subject of race (phrase blatantly stolen from Avenue Q's "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist").
