I grew up watching the Flintstones and it had a very big impact on me and my household. It entered into the way I lived my life and certainly into my heart.
Gazoo was my favorite character. I drew many pictures of him while I was a teenager. I wrote this book when I was still in high school.
It was a real dream of mine to publish this little book finally. I did not know one thing about how to get it copyrighted or get publishing rights to it, but God has helped me find a way.
I want to take a moment now and Glorify the Lord for the gifts to draw and write that He has given to me.
Thank you Holy Father for giving me the opportunity to express myself in my paintings and my words in this comic.

FIRST COMIC STORY: Friendship Is The Greatest Power
It is a beautiful day out. The sky is blue. It is one of those type days when you think you can conquer the world...
The Great Gazoo
“Hello everyone. I am the Great Gazoo and I am great indeed! Today I am going to pop in on my two good friends, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. Let us go see what my dumb-dumbs are up to, shall we...”
Gazoo overhears a conversation now that Fred and Barney are having and he does not like what they are saying. No, not at all...
Fred
“Barney, Gazoo is no good. All he has done lately is cause havoc...We would be so much better off if we never met him. What you think? I wish he never came here.”
Barney
“Yeah. I have to agree, Fred. Gazoo is nothing but trouble. What should we do if he appears? Just ignore him?”
By now Gazoo is hopping mad!
The Great Gazoo not feeling so great right now
“Well! I cannot believe what I have just heard! All the loyal service I have given them and they go and stab me in the back!”
Gazoo is very uptight and not sure what to do now. Maybe it was all his fault why Fred and Barney feel the way they do? He just is not sure what he has done so wrong? He sits and ponders on this for a while...
Gazoo
“Hummmm. I guess I could do something really nice for them not using any of my powers, since it is obvious they do not like that. Just do some kind of a..... Good deed! That's it! A good deed!”
A Solution To The Problem
Gazoo thinks and thinks and thinks... He then gets an amazing idea.
Gazoo
“I know what I will do! I will give them two tickets for the upcoming Rocketfield Baseball game. I know Fred and Barney want to go but with their present budgets they just cannot afford to splurge on them. Nothing can go wrong with a true gift of friendship!”
Some time passes and the men finally come home from work. Gazoo is excited about the new gift he is about to give them...
Gazeoo appears now before them. Fred and Barney feel a bit leery because he always startles them and they are never prepared for when the little green menace just pops in unannounced...
Gazoo
“Gentlemen....”
Fred
“Oh no! Barney it's Gazoo. Just act like you don't see him, ok.”
Barney
“You think he will go away, Fred? Huh? Do you think so? I wonder what he wants?”
Fred
“I don't know, Barney, but one thing I do know for absolute sure.”
Barney
“What's that Fred?“
Fred
“That Gazoo is nothing but trouble...”
Gazoo feels very righteous right now and he cannot wait to spring his surprise on them. But he is patient and enjoys their display of emotions. Silly humans get so emotional at times...
But he decides now enough is enough and should tell them what he wants. Fred's face is getting very red.
Gazoo
“Than I guess your just not interested in the surprise I have for you.”
Fred
“What surprise, Gazoo? Whatever your selling, we don't want any.”
Barney
“Yeah, that goes double for me.”
Gazoo
“Suit yourselves, boys. It sure is a waste to throw out two perfectly good tickets to the Rocketfield Baseball game, that I just happen to have.”
Fred's ears perk up. Had he heard right?
Fred
“You do?”
Barney
“What did he say, Fred?”
Gazoo stretches and gives a big yawn. It is about time for his nap. He lays himself comfortably in the air now tiring of these two humans and their constant inconsistencies.
Gazoo
“Well, do you want the them or not?”
Fred
“We want them! We want them!”
Barney
“Oh yeah! You bet we do, Gazoo!”
Gazoo
“It is my pleasure, gentlemen...”
Fred
“Gee, that was sure swell of you. Thanks Gazoo.”
Barney
“Yeah. We really appreciate the gift Gazoo. It was awfully nice of you.”
The Baseball Game Incident
So the men go off to have a great time at the game.
Only, they didn't invite Gazoo.
He sure would of liked to have been included, but he would never of told them that.
No one would have been able to see him if he went. Only Fred and Barney cause they were the ones who had found him. He thought it rude to invite himself so he waited, but Fred and Barney never invited him to come along...
Fred and Barney are NOT having a good time.
Fred should of known there would be trouble receiving anything from the Great Gazoo. It always came with a catch.
Fred
“Barney, the tickets Gazoo gave us were no good. They were for way in the back row where we can't see a thing!”
Barney
“Uh Fred, I can't hear anything either.”
By now you can imagine that Fred's face has turned beet red. He grits his teeth.
Fred
“What were we thinking, Barney, that we could trust Gazoo? He never gets
things right. Why, if I ever get my hands on him, I'm gonna wring his little neck!”
Fred and Barney get back from their baseball game. Gazoo appears. He hopes they had a good time, but right off he senses that something is wrong...
Gazoo
“Did you have a nice time at the game?”
Fred
“No we did not!”
Barney
“You gave us tickets for way in the back row, where we couldn't see or hear a thing!”
Gazoo is utterly speechless!
What Is Gazoo To Do Now?
Gazoo
“Listen, Fred, Barney, I'm sorry. I tried...”
Fred
“Gazoo, save your breath. As I said before and I will say it again. We don't need you. We don't want you around.”
Barney
“Fred is right. You are nothing but trouble so scram! Get lost!”
Now they have really done it. Gazoo not being able to take any more of their cruel words, sits on top of the couch and begins to cry away...
Fred and Barney are besides themselves.
Gazoo
“All I have ever done is try to please you two.” He then blows his nose into a kleenex.
He continues with... “I know my powers get messed up sometimes. I really have meant well. You are not the easiest to please either. Always wanting this and that. You think material possessions is what makes life worth while. It is not my business to interfere with your beliefs. No matter what I do it all ends up the same. You get offended and it gets smacked right back in my face. Why can't you two just like me for once, without asking me for stuff?”
Fred
“Well, uh.”
Barney
“Gee Gazoo, we didn't mean to make you cry. I had no idea you felt that way. We like you, don't we Fred?”
Fred feels now like a first class heel.
Fred:
“Well yes, we like you, Gazoo. It has nothing to do against you personally. It'snjust... Those powers of yours. They don't help. All they accomplish is getting Barney and myself into a whole bunch of trouble. Why, we'd be so much better off if you just stopped using them when your around us, period.”
Fred thinks real hard about what to say next. A frown then hits his face. “Gazoo I have told you before not to use them. What are you, some kind of knucklehead?”
Barney laughs.
Barney
“Gazoo, you are our friend, so you really don't need to use your powers to get our attention. Just be yourself. That is more than enough.”
Gazoo smiles. Barney is right. Why hadn't he listened to Fred before? He did try to get it through to him on other occasions, but Gazoo was bent on showing off.
Gazoo
“Fred, Barney, you really do think of me as your friend?”
Fred
“You bet! My advise though little buddy, just be yourself, and we will accept you. But leave those powers of yours alone.”
Barney
“Yeah. You don't need to show off to win our friendship. No fancy tricks. We like you just the way you are. No powers required.”
A Happy Ending
Gazoo is touched. Never in all his days, and he has lived a lot of them. He is much older than what people on Earth live to be. His tired old heart finally has begun to comprehend, what true friendship is all about...
Gazoo
“That's the nicest thing you two have ever said to me. Furthermore, I really appreciate it....Fred, Barney, you both are right, and now I believe I am finally beginning to understand that.”
Fred decides to take the whole family to the park and have a picnic. He asks Gazoo if he'd like to come too. Barney thinks it is a great idea.
Fred
“Say you'll come too Gazoo. The kids love you.”
Barney
“Oh yeah, Gazoo. The kids will love that alright. I'll bring our pet, Hoppy too, and Fred can bring Dino. I know they'd get a kick out of playing with the kids.”
Fred calls Dino now and he comes a yipping all the way as his tail wags so hard it about makes the ground shake. Gazoo smiles.
Gazoo
“You bet Fred, Barney, you got a deal. No powers. Nothing special. Just me. It looks like it is going to be a nice day after all.”
SECOND STORY: Gazoo's Next assignment
“Gazoo, I’m not convinced that you are doing any good for Mr. Flintstone or Mr. Rubble,” the Mighty Gazam told the Great Gazoo after Gazoo contacted Zaytox, his home planet to speak to their leader, the Mighty Gazam for his yearly review.
Gazoo had remained on Earth, in the stone age, serving these two dumb-dumbs now for 3 years. With no avail, as Gazam had put it so bluntly.
“But Gazam, I have served them. I’ve done what they asked even though it put them in tight situations, I always got them out of it,” Gazoo told him
“Yes, but you caused these situations in the first place. It just won’t do Gazoo. You are not living up to Zaytoxian morals. I see now that it just isn't working out you staying where you are, so I have decided to reassign you some place else. I will contact you when I’ve decided where,” Gazam told him then signed off.
Gazoo gave a sniff. He was really going to miss Fred and Barney. They’d become the best friends he’d ever had. How was he going to tell them he had to leave soon? “Oh, to make matters worse, I think I’m coming down with a cold,” he said and zapped up a kleenex and blew his long, pointed green nose into it. Part of the honk was with tears of sorrow having to leave.
“Hi Fred, Barney,” he sald after reappearing between the two of them as they sat on Fred’s hammock in his back yard.
“Oh hi Gazoo,” moaped Fred back.
Gazoo wanted to do one last, nice thing for the both of them. “Why so glum my friend?” Gazoo asked him.
“Oh, I couldn't get tickets for the Rocket-ford football game because they were all sold out. Barney and I really wanted to go too,” Fred snorted.
Barney sighed. “Yeah, was going to be a real great game too. Danson was taking the lead in the last game and has really shown some great progress,” Barney finally said.
“Is that all? Well cheer up good chums. Just so happens that I have two, front row seat tickets,” Gazoo told them as two tickets appeared behind his back. He then brought them forth.
Both Fred and Barney cheered right up. “My treat fellows,” Gazoo told them. Barney though, hoped what had happened the last time Gazoo sent them to a game, didn't repeat. Surely not?
“Really Gazoo? Oh that’s wonderful!” Fred outburst before Barney could open his mouth to protest. He smiled then. “Yeah! Oh gee that’s so swell of you Gazoo!" barked Barney then he looked off to the side and frowned.
Gazoo only chuckled, but he became sad. He then gave a sneeze not realizing power drew forth and changed the front row seats to the very last row instead without Barney or Fred aware, or even Gazoo for that matter.
So yes, it would be just like it had been going to the baseball game that time, only this game was football.
“Enjoy yourselves gentlemen,” Gazoo said then disappeared. His nose was starting to hurt a bit.
“Oh you bet we will! Thanks little buddy," Fred called out.
Boy did the boys’ smiles turn upside-down after being seated way in the back where they couldn't see a thing. And I mean WAY in the back. Much farther back than they had even sat at the baseball game that one time where Gazoo messed up.
These tickets that Gazoo's sneeze changed them, were the worst tickets ever, sold by a swindler to make matters worse, so they got seated on some park bench and given binoculars to watch the game with.
Fred was FURIOUS! “That rotten Gazoo did it to us again,” he harped unbelieving.
“Yeah, uh, I was afraid this was going to happen again, but I would of never thought Gazoo a cheap-scape!” Barney ended up hollering.
“Oooh, when I get my hands around that little, green neck!” Fred boomed gesturing his hands in a choke, well Barney got the picture. He felt like squeezing too.
That next day Gazoo appeared. He noticed his two best friends standing by a fence separating their neighbor's backyard from Fred's.
He happily floated over but then heard by their tone of voices that they were very upset.
He stayed on the other side of the fence now, out of sight and listened. “What we gonna do about Gazoo, Fred?” Barney was saying.
“I’ll tell you Barney, I‘m fed up. Last night was the last straw. I hate to say this and I'm glad he's not around to hear it, but I wish we’d never met that little guy,” Fred said.
Shot through Gazoo’s heart. He was so shocked to hear such awful, negative things being said. Especially after that one time, over the mistake concerning the baseball game.
They had apologized for being so awful towards him, but now Gazoo thinks maybe they never were all that sorry. He didn't see it coming, that’s for sure.
“He’s never done a good deed for us. Not a one. They’ve all backfired,” Barney grumbled. Gazoo was so hurt, worse than before. And he wasn't feeling so good today either. His cold was getting bad.
“I wish he’d go back to Toxzar or wherever he’s from,” Barney said. Fred agreed.
“What could possibly possess them to say such hateful things about me?” Gazoo said as tears filled his eyes. His head hurt. “Well fine! I’ll leave without even saying one word to them!” he yelled now making his head pound even worse.
He was so mad after he disappeared he made a tree fall over onto Fred and Barney.
Gazoo popped into the living room, all packed, to see if they were around. He was awaiting Gazam’s new orders.
But when he saw Fred and Barney sitting on the sofa he disappeared. “Gazoo get back here!” Fred yelled. He had seen a green blur then nothing. So Gazoo appeared. Only his head.
“The rest of you, if you please,” said Fred. So Gazoo reappeared, all of him.
“We would like to have a word with you Gazoo,” Barney then said. So Gazoo floated over to him.
“I take it the game didn't go as you planned,” Gazoo now spoke. He had a feeling it didn't. That something had happened. Nothing ever went as it should of when he had to use his powers.
“What game? We never saw it because you gave us tickets for so far away, we had to sit in a park next doOR!” Fred now blew.
“Well,” sighed Gazoo now. “At least I tried.”
“Gazoo, we don’t think you should use those powers of yours. They just won't work right,” Barney told him. Gazoo started to cry. He just couldn't keep it inside anymore.
“Gee Gazoo, I, I, didn't mean,” Barney began.
“What’s wrong Gazoo?” Fred asked now concerned. This was not like the little man to get all bent out of shape over a stupid game again, like the last time. Surely he knew that yes, he and Barney could get mad and blow up, but they never really meant anything by it.
Then Fred got to thinking. At times he knew he could be too harsh. There was that other game incident that happened about a year ago and Wilma several times told him he was nothing but a grouch.
He didn't mean to be. It just happened sometimes. Barney noticed that Gazoo didn't look so good.
Gazoo sat sighing. He then told them it wasn't so much the game. That Gazam told him it wasn't working out and he had to leave.
“Gee Gazoo, we don’t want you to go. Your powers yes, but not you. Can’t Gazam zap you powerless or something? Then you could stay here,” Fred suggested.
“I wish it were that simple Fred but no, he is reassigning me elsewhere,” Gazoo told him.
Gazoo was so touched by their warmth this time around, but boy he sure didn't feel well. Barney told him he felt hot. Must be running a fever.
“I have a cold,” Gazoo told them.
“Well, you can stay inside tonight with Barney and me. Our wives are on some kind of mother, daughter retreat for the weekend, and Betty too went, taking Bam-Bam,” Fred told him.
Poor Gazoo. He just got worse and worse. His congestion was so awful. Fred gave him a pill to help his cold. It ended up knocking him out so strong that when Gazam contacted him on Fred’s TV, they couldn't get him to wake up.
“Uh, Gazam Sir,” Fred began.
“Who are you?” Gazam insisted.
“I‘m Fred Flintstone, the dumb-dumb Gazoo serves. He can’t come to the phone right now. He’s uh, sick with a cold. I gave him a pill to help, and it knocked him out,” Fred explained.
Gazam was a bit short fused. “Well, when Gazoo wakes up you tell him to contact Gazam at once,” he honked.
“Will do, your High uh person,” Fred said. Gazam signed off.
Gazoo’s cold was so severe that every time he sneezed now, something would appear in the house.
“Gazoo you’ve got to stop that. Our wives will be home by tomorrow night,” Fred whined.
“You’ve got to zap away all this stuff,” Barney honked.
“Our wives will have a fitI” Fred barked.
“I can’t,” Gazoo said. Gazoo’s powers were all messed up because of his cold. Fred and Barney had to haul all the stuff out.
They gave a garage sale. “Hey this was a good idea Barney. We’re raking in the dough,” Fred boomed as he held a wad of money in his hand. Gazoo sneezed and this couch appeared. He sneezed again and now was a matching lamp. Sneeze, a TV. Sneeze, a fur coat. Barney took the lamp and coat outside. But at the rate Gazoo was a sneezing, the house was going to be all full again soon.
“Barney, you have any cold pills left?” Fred asked. He was out. They had to get Gazoo’s nose quieted down. Barney didn't have any so he went to the drug store to get some.
“Better give more than the recommended dose. Our wives are going to be home in 4 hours,” Fred gripped.
So Barney gave Gazoo 2 pills instead of one. The bottle said children only one pill, adults 2, but Gazoo was so small that the first time they gave him only one pill, so now they decided to give 2.
Gazoo was still sneezing stuff into existence. Before the pills started to kick in, the last thing he sneezed was an elephant. Fred was hysterical. “Barney our wives will be here soon and I‘m stuck with a jumbo elephant in my living room!” Fred harped.
Dino was so scared of it he ran and hid under the bed. Gazoo began having side effects from the pills. His eyes turned all colors of the rainbow, and he began to float all around the house, spaced out. In a type of stupor. At least the sneezing stopped.
“Anyone care to buy an elephant?” Fred asked the people looking at his garage sale. He had sold most of the stuff in the last 4 hours, but the elephant he had no luck.
This man came into his house. He was a circus owner. He couldn't believe the sign he’d read outside, about Fred selling an elephant.
“Just so happens I need an elephant. Oh my, he’s a big one,” the man said.
“Oh? Er, you need an elephant you say?” Fred perked up.
“Yeah. How much you asking for it?” the man asked.
“Er, I’ve gotten several offers. How much you willing to give?” Fred asked.
Barney was afraid he’d screw up and they’d never sell it. “Fred just take what he offers,” he whispered.
“I’ll sell him to you,” Fred then replied coming to his senses.
Poor Gazoo, the pills wore off, and just as Fred had the house all cleared away, and all the previous stuff sold, Gazoo began to refill it with his sneezing again.
“Get him out of my house!” Fred hollered.
“Fred, where will he go? Gazoo’s so sick,” Barney protested.
“Maybe he needs a doctor or something,” Barney told him further. Just as he’d said it Gazoo passed out and fell at his feet.
“You take him to your house!” Fred insisted.
“Fine! I will!” Barney yelled back. He picked up the poor little alien and carried him away in a blanket he’d wrapped him up in.
“How am I going to get rid of all this stuff? Wilma will be here any second!” Fred hooped. A hippo upchucked on the carpet then. “Swell,” Fred complied.
“Fred Flintstone!” Wilma barked as soon as she entered the house. “You’d better have a good explanation Fred! And why are all these animals in my house? That hippo has ruined my mother’s good rug!” Wilma blew.
“I was having a petting zoo for the neighborhood kids. To make a little extra money on the side,” Fred lied.
“All this had better be gone when I get back from Mother’s! I’ll be staying there with Pebbles for a few day’s!” she said fed up. She then left.
Fred would have another garage sale tomorrow and he called the city zoo to see if they’d have any use in some extra animals. The zoo said sure, they always were needing extras.
“Barney, I, I n,need you to, to g-get me something from t, the s-ship,” Gazoo regained consciousness long enough to tell him, after Barney put the little guy to bed out in his garage.
It was dry and warm for him. “Your real sick huh Gazoo,” Barney replied.
“I, I’m afraid it, it’s Lora, Lorimec F-fever,” Gazoo told him.
“Lora-what?” Barney replied.
“Lorimec Fever. I, I’m a-afraid it’s very s-serious Barney. I, if you do, don’t g-get me the m, medicine for it, I- I could, be a g, goner,” Gazoo told him, his teeth chattering so bad from the awful chills he was having.
“I-if this fever doesn't break I, I’ll be p-pushing u, up daisies,” Gazoo said.
“Uh, what does your medicine look like, Gazoo?” Barney asked. But Gazoo was out cold again. “Gazoo!” Barney boomed.
Barney knew he had to hurry. He remembered where he and Fred had buried Gazoo’s ship. He drove out to where the site was and with a shovel, dug it up.
“Barney, Barney where are you going?” Betty wanted to know as he drove away.
Barney dug up the ship and looked inside. He noticed a medical kit. He read the information about Lorimec Fever inside. He then raced back to the garage with the kit.
Lorimec Fever was a type of bacteria. Barney filled a water bottle with very cold water and ice cubes and placed it over Gazoo’s forehead. “Come on Gazoo, wake up. I need to know how to give this to you,” he said shaking him.
He opened up his sick little eyes. He was wacky in the head because of the fever. “Where’s Galazera?” he asked.
“Who?” Barney replied.
“I saw her. What’s she doing here?” Gazoo asked. He began looking all around wildly.
“Who’s Galasareara?” Barney asked.
Gazoo would of laughed if he didn't feel so sick by the funny way that dumb human had pronounced his precious' name all wrong.
“Galazera is my wife,” Gazoo said.
“I didn't know you had a wife, Gazoo,” Barney told him.
“Barney, you get the medicine?” Gazoo asked snapping out of it a little. His fever was lower, for now, because of the cold ice cubes covering him.
“Right here,” Barney replied showing it.
“F-fill up the syringe w,with 10CCs of the medication,” Gazoo instructed.
So Barney did. Barney hoped Gazoo was in his right head good enough to tell him the right dose to give. He then gave the shot to Gazoo.
Gazoo then slept. His fever broke that night.
“How’s the little guy doing, Barney?” Fred asked as he entered the garage then.
“He should be ok now that I gave him some medicine he told me to get him out from his ship,” Barney replied.
“I didn't realize just how sick he was I guess,” Fred admitted frowning.
“Oh, you guess? He could of died Fred! A lot you did to help,” Barney let into him then.
“I’m sorry Barney,” Fred replied feeling like a first class heel.
“Yeah well, did you get rid of all the stuff?” Barney asked.
“I er, told Wilma a friend wanted me to try to sell his stuff because he had to move away in a hurry, and that he had a petting zoo,” Fred said then chuckled.
“Did she buy it?” Barney asked.
“No,” Fred laughed. “I had to haul the stuff off at the dump. At least the zoo was able to take the animals, but I had to pay them to haul them off,” Fred said. He laughed until he began to cry.
Gazoo improved but still didn't wake up. “You think he’s really alright Barney?” Fred asked.
“Yeah. It just took a lot out of him is all,” Barney replied.
“We’ll let him rest,” Fred said. He and Barney then went to work.
Gazoo woke up. Looked around. “Where am I?” he asked confused.
He zipped into the air. “I’m in a garage,” he spoke.
“Oh, I hope I didn't cause too much damage when I was sick,” he worried.
“Hi Gazoo,” Pebbles greeted happy to see him after he came out from Rubble's garage. They hugged. He grew sad remembering. He sure was going to miss this half pint that's for sure.
She was playing in the backyard. She was almost 4 now. She and Bam-Bam were playing in his sand box. He was 5. “Gazoo!” he roared equally glad to see him.
“Hello children,” he cooed back, floating over to where they were. He gave Pebbles a tickle. He then became sad. He knew the time had come for him to tell them.
“No Gazoo. Please don’t go away,” Pebbles said and started to cry. Got Gazoo a crying too now. They all 3 hugged.
“I hope I have little ones just like you two someday,” he told them.
“I love GazOO,” she blared squeezing him tight.
“Me too!” Bam-bam hollered next.
Today was the day Gazoo was to leave. He was reassigned to the future, 1978 to be exact.
Whoever released him from his ship would be his new Master. Or masters.
“Well Fred, Barney, I sure hate to go but it’s time,” he told then. Fred tried to hold back a tear. Barney too.
“Say Gazoo, what was that Lorimac Fever?” Fred asked.
“Oh, a type of bacteria that comes from the dimension I’m from. You see I’m not from your known Universe,” Gazoo tried to explain, but knew it was hopeless, them understanding.
“Oh uh, tell your wife I said hi,” Barney told him.
“His what?” Fred barked.
Gazoo was quite surprised. “What exactly did I say Barney?” he was curious to know.
“Oh, you talked about Galazatinka,” Barney began.
“That’s Galazera dumb-dumb, and yes, she is my wife. We hadn't been married long before I was sent here. I guess I was just too homesick to talk about her,” Gazoo said.
He was about choked up. He zapped up a Kleenex. “No sweeter girl in the galaxy,” he finally said, his voice cracking.
“Gee, well, you mind taking some advice?” Fred asked.
“Oh what dumb-dumb? Mr. Stud Muffin going to tell me about the birds and the bees, humm?” Gazoo said and chuckled.
“Oh let me guess, treat her like little children, right?” he asked and giggled. They all laughed now.
Soon Gazoo was shut up inside his ship, controlled by Zaytox as it zoomed through space and time, to reach 1978.
“Sure gonna miss that little guy,” Barney told Fred.
“Me too, Barney. Me too,” he replied.
Gazoo was just a zippity-do-daing along down a spacial-time vortex to get to the future. 1978 to be exact.
He was told what coordinates to use but a meteor collided with his ship in the votex and sent Gazoo’s tiny ship hurling out from the vortex into a different dimension. No longer in Fred and Barney’s.
He ended up in a STRANGE dimension he had never visited before. He sure hoped the natives were friendly. He was stuck here wherever HERE was. A readout told him exactly where he was.
Gazoo’s ship was damaged.
Gazam then contacted Gazoo and told him to land on a near by moon and do the necessary repairs.
Time passed because it took Gazoo quite a while to repair his ship. Gazam had to send him the materials.
See Gazoo landed on a dead moon and with nothing on that moon to bring forth, his powers were useless. Gazoo couldn't actually zap things from out of nowhere. He had the ability by thought, to summon the particles needed, and by thought, bring the thing to himself immediately in tact. But you see, there was nothing to summon forth on this moon, so Gazam had to send him the materials. Gazoo could only summon atoms and particles from a certain point.
He was out of range and no planet close enough to be able to take what materials he needed from there.
It took 6 months before the materials arrived. Gazoo had to really save on his food rations. If there was no food on the moon he couldn't zap it forth now could he.
Gazoo’s ship hadn't a strong enough signal to send an SOS to anyone other than his planet Zaytox.
Gazoo did find, however, strange flaky type substance that came in the early hours. It showered down upon the moon. Gazoo, curious, went out one morning after putting on his space suit.
The moon had no oxygen. He had to use his space suit that came in his ship. When he brought the stuff back to his ship he was amazed to find he could eat it. Tasted like wafers mixed with honey. Does it sound familiar?
Manna is what it was. Good thing it came last night because he had just gobbled up the last of his food. Had made it 3 months. But barely.
“This isn't half bad,” he commented. He also found that the stuff leftover, that he didn't eat, turned into water for him to drink! “Imagine that,” he spoke.
Gazoo felt there was some kind of strong Force at work here. Gazoo believed in God, He knew the universe wasn't just created out of nothing. And something had created him.
No way did he believe he created himself, like Gazam thought. All in all Gazoo remained on this moon for a year before he could go to his new destination assigned in this dimension.
A WORD TO THE READER
The main point I was trying to make in this little comic book is that we are all not perfect, and that it is ok. Despite the fact that we may look much different from one another and even act not the same in the cultures we grew up with. Still, we must learn to accept each other, flaws and all.
We were all made in the Image of the One True Living God, regardless of what religions we might have grown up with. One thing remains. There can only be One Truth, and there is only One God.
I was raised a Christian. I believe in a beautiful Plan come from the wonderful Creator despite that we were born into sin. We all are given the opportunity to be redeemed by the precious Blood of the Lamb. The only Son of God. I believe that Jesus is God. Many believe, many do not. For only God Himself could save us from our flaws and make a new righteous life for us in the end. We cannot change this on our own.
But despite if you are a true believer or not, God our Father remains faithful to us all even if some of us do not exactly know who God is. It is always God's hope that we come to find the truth before our lives are over.
We all die.
Look at it this way. There can only be one truth and the other a lie. Always keep your heart open to what the truth is, asking God to reveal it, and it will be given to you...
