STEP 1 ZOMBIE SKELETON All the Minecraft characters are a bunch of blocky shapes. Zombies are no exception. First, lightly sketch the blocks with a pencil. The head is a cube, and the body is a tall box. Make the arms two long boxes on the side, or place them horizontally. STEP 2 IT BEGINS Now, use a ruler to draw the lines of the head with a pen, and outline the cube. Draw black rectangles for the eyes, and a white rectangle for the nose. STEP 3 IN H-ARMS WAY Use a ruler first to make lines and draw the arm box outlines, then mark the sleeves with a thick line. STEP 4 SOME-BODY HELP Using a ruler and pen, draw the outline of the upright box for the…

"When I was a kid, like any kid watching their favourite cartoons (mine was Looney Tunes), you have this inkling to imitate characters. Whether or not you sound exactly like them is up for debate, but I just kept sticking to it. Eventually, through Hollywood magic, I became these characters – after the great Mel Blanc. Looney Tunes inspired my sense of humour, and inspired me as an artist. Before being a voiceover actor, I was behind the pencil, drawing for various studios." "My favourite Porky catchphrase to say will always be 'Th-th-that's all, folks.' When you pair Daffy and Porky together, Daffy always gets the wild and crazy lines, and Porky is a bit of the straight man in the comic duo." "If I could have a Looney Tunes…

1 Using a ‘jeb_’ nametag on a sheep will make the woolly mob slowly change colour. If you name a vindicator ‘Johnny’, it will send the illager (equipped with an iron axe) on a rampage. Meanwhile, calling any mob ‘Dinnerbone’ will turn them upside-down. Fun! 2 Enchant a trident with Channelling to strike mobs with lightning in a storm! This can transform ‘em too! Creepers charge up, villagers become witches, and pigs turn into zombified piglins. 3 Are you in water? Is it raining or snowing? Throw a trident enchanted with Riptide to leap forward. Useful for covering ground, or launching into an elytra glide! 4 Speaking of elytra, if you journey to the End and nab a pair, be sure to have plenty of fireworks on hand. You can…

FISCH OF THE DAY I love fishing in videogames, whether I just want to relax (and earn Bells) in Animal Crossing, or I’m trying to catch ‘em all in Pokémon. It’s no wonder that my latest Roblox obsession is Fisch! According to my buddy Banjo, that’s the German word for ‘fish’. The aim of the game is just like it sounds – you find a good spot, cast your line, then play a minigame to reel in fish. The bigger and harder a fish is to catch, the more it’s worth – and you will need plenty of credits to buy the best rods, bait, boats, and other gear. There are many things that make Fisch fun, like sailing from island to island or putting on diving gear and swimming…

RECIPE RUSE K-ZONER PRANK I put a fake recipe in my mum’s recipe box over a year ago (it works if you put it in a recipe book too) and she just found it. It was for a weird cake I made up, so I put ‘Strawberry Hot Dog Cake’ at the top, then put random ingredients, and had confusing instructions. She couldn’t figure out why she had it! Sam, SA PACKET RACKET Stick a straw into a tomato sauce packet, and put the packet and straw in a friend’s drink cup. Place the lid back on, and wait for them to take a gross sip! WATER YOU ON ABOUT? Put a pair of shoes in front of the kitchen sink (or dishwasher). Put a bottle of water in each.…

FALL FIASCO It was the first day back at school and I was running to my mum. I fell face-first into the floor. What made it worse was that other kids saw the whole thing! Elijah, Qld HUT HAZARD On time at the beach, we were cooking marshmallows on a campfire. We found a little hut made out of driftwood, so I went to look behind it – and stepped in poo! Zander, NZ REEL DEAL I was heading to the park when I noticed a shiny piece of metal. I went to pick it up, but released it was a fish hook when it got stuck in my thumb. It hurt for ages! Fern, NSW BAT LUCK I was playing school cricket when I fell over, twisted my ankle,…
