(They giggle)
Norman says, YEAH, IT DOES!
(Door creaks)
Delia swings the bedroom door open. She walks inside and takes the magazines.
Leroy says, OH!
Norman says, UGH...
Delia says, DON'T GO IN MY ROOM AGAIN.

Tom says, IT'S LIZ! SHE WRITES AND DRAWS ALL THE TOM GATES BOOKS.
Liz, a live-action person with long reddish-brown hair, sits at a table with a blank piece of paper in front of her.
Liz says, DOGZOMBIES HAVE GOT A BRAND-NEW POSTER, AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO DRAW IT. SO, FIRST OF ALL, LET'S DRAW A DOG ZOMBIE.
Liz uses a black marker to draw on the paper.
(Music playing)
Liz says, START WITH THE EARS, SO TWO LITTLE POINTS FOR EARS. THEN I DO ONE BIG EYE AND ONE SMALLER EYE.
Liz draws a dog standing on its hind legs.
Liz continues, LITTLE TAIL. LET'S ADD SOME SCARS. OK, SO THIS DOG ZOMBIE HAS GOT A GUITAR.
Tom says, AMAZING!
Liz says, AND NOW I'M GONNA DRAW THE DOGZOMBIE LOGO AT THE TOP.
Liz draws “DOGZOMBIE” on the top of the page.
Liz says, SO, I'M JUST GONNA ADD SOME SHADING AROUND THE LETTERS. THIS JUST MAKES THE LOGO REALLY STAND OUT.
Liz looks up.
Liz says, LET'S ADD THE BAND MEMBERS.
Tom says, I LOVE THIS BIT!
Liz says, LET'S START WITH TOM.
Liz draws Tom’s face in a circle under the letters.
Liz continues, THERE'S TOM. LET'S DRAW NORMAN.
She adds a Norman’s face to another circle. He has glasses and hair that sticks up from his head.
Liz says, LET'S DRAW LEROY. LEROY'S GOT A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT-SHAPED FACE. MORE OF AN OVAL SHAPE. AND LET'S DRAW DEREK NEXT. AND NOW I'M GONNA FILL IN THE REST OF THE POSTER WITH SOME DESIGN.
(Music playing)
Liz covers the rest of the page with curving lines.
Liz says, THERE WE ARE, ALL DONE. YOU CAN LEAVE IT IN BLACK AND WHITE IF YOU WANT TO, BUT I THINK I'M GONNA PUT SOME COLOUR ON THIS, COS IT MAKES IT REALLY STAND OUT.
Liz colours the guitar yellow. She adds blue and red to the poster.
Tom says, I LOVE THE COLOURS!
Liz says, THERE YOU GO - ALL DONE. YOUR VERY OWN DOGZOMBIES POSTER.
Liz holds it up.

Tom says, NO! HANG ON!
Tom turns. He wears dark sunglasses.

A spoon-like shape is drawn around one side of the cardboard.
Derek narrates, THEN DRAW THESE SHAPES. THESE WILL BE YOUR DOG ZOMBIE'S EYES. FOLD THE PAPER SO YOU CAN STILL SEE YOUR DRAWING ON THE OUTSIDE, LIKE THIS.
The paper is folded in half.
Derek continues, CUT OUT YOUR MAIN SHAPE, CUTTING THROUGH BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER AT ONCE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT ALONG THE JOIN!
