Knowing this twenty years ago would´ve made the Third Grade so much cooler

So I was at the conference room earlier today and we were having a meeting about, whatever, really, and it came to pass that there was this large roll of masking tape atop the conference table, I have no idea why, it was just there for the plucking and fooling around with it.
I´d been doodling on my notebook in lieu of taking notes, obviously, though it´s pretty much because as I´ve remarked on occasion, time & again, I think of myself as selectively eidetic, whatever that really means. So I get to remember most stuff. Hence my doodling Aquaman fighting off the Ocean Master and Black Manta on my notebook while people just talked and half-bored me to death— the fictional battle was pretty cool and all that even though they were nothing but a bunch of stick figures. Though you could sort of spot Ocean Master´s signature pitchfork thing, also Black Manta´s helmet.
It was then I realized—I mean it was so freaking simple I have no idea how I never thought of it during Third Grade—If I took a piece of masking tape and applied it over the Aquaman & foes figures, well it pretty much gave the effect as if they were all all fighting underwater!

And that...

And that...


Oh well.
Some pieces just have their own end unto themselves, right? Or something like that?
Though later I did try placing the masking tape halfway over this drawing of H.P. Lovecraft´s Cthulhu, and it looked so damn cool, with the giant octopus-beast-thing crawling out of the ocean just like in the short story. What do you know, the whole underwater trompe-l´oeil thing actually works every time!
