ABOUT THIS BOOK We wrote scenes for our own TV cartoons! Some of the scripts in this book are brand-new cartoons, with characters we invented. Some of them are based on shows and characters you may already be familiar withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;except these scenes have never been aired in real life (yet!), because we created them ourselves as a way to make these shows even better. We hope you enjoy our new and improved cartoon TV shows!
