Story Summary
Bing and Bong find a Flocker in front of a blank canvas surrounded by many objects. Bing draws a picture of the Flocker on the canvas and the two-dimensional Flocker comes to life. Now Bing draws the objects that are scattered around the Flocker. The Flocker requests that Bing draw them to make them look more real so, Bing adds lines and shading. When another Flocker joins the Flocker accompanying Bing and Bong, they draw a friend for the Flocker on the canvas and all celebrate.
