Simon And The Flags

Whilst in the LOCD Simon meets the schoolteacher who is very excited. All the school children want a flag day so Simon is asked to draw them some flags. Simon thus goes home to his blackboard and make a start. Whilst at home he decides to draw lots of flags with different designs for each type of person in Chalk Land. Problems ensue the next day when each person in Chalk Land wants their flag ahead of other people's flags and no one wants to be at the back. Simon and Henry thus wait until everyone is asleep that night and then he and Henry take all the small flags and make a large one out of them. This sorts the problem and everyone is happy.

Simon

In the United States, children may have seen Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings originally on a program called Captain Kangaroo. Later, it was reshown on Pinwheel, the predecessor to Nickelodeon. This show is also said to be the inspiration for Mike Myers' Saturday Night Live character (though the original Simon did not draw in his bathtub).

The theme song went:

"Well you know my name is Simon,
and the things I draw come true,
Oh pictures take me, take me over,
Climb the ladder with you."
