>>19292842When I was like 12 I did this terrible-ass comic (artwork-quality was roughly the same as my attached image) where self-inserts of me and my friends hung out with our favorite Pokemon. Mine was a Zangoose (imaginatively nicknamed Zan) who was pretty stupid and lazy but still a bro, he was my best friends favorite character.
I gave the book to him, and he kept it and hung onto it, much to my chagrin and embarrassment because it really was a heap of shit.
He died a couple of years ago and I saw it on his bookshelf when I visited his families house.
