Dorky Board:
A monitor fashioned to look like a cuby hole sits next to the door and in addition to infomercials for some of Doc's inventions, instructions on how to operate the Door-Keyboard/Dorky-Board. The guest must ring the door bell so many times to let Doc know who is there and then they type their names before entering. Below are some initial designs and pictures of the process of it's creation.
The power goes out as the show is about to start so the guests must help pump up the jam so that they can pay the electric company in grape flavored jam. Doc cheers them on and breaks out into song as the guests pump and the lights are slowly returned back on. Below are some initial designs and pictures of the process of it's creation.
The Packet Protector contains all of the Color Packets that make Slippy the Hamster (Doc's lab assistant and sidekick) visible. After the Interminator (the interim villian) knocks all of Slippy's Packets loose, the guests must quickly return them to the Packet Protector via Doc's Funnel Vac system. Below are some initial designs and pictures of the process of it's creation.
