Whoop! I colored it in the same day!! I'm on a roll. The clean up job on this was a monster. Every time I turned around I saw another line or spot that poped up out of nowhere. Just fusterating but I got it done.

In the first picture of the trio I said that they are 17 or 18 years old, which means considering their estemated ages of 8 or 9 in the original show theres atleast a 7 or 8 time difference with the characters. Thats a pretty long time if you ask me so I wouldn't be surprise, compared to how they look now that you're all wondering what happen in those years.

Chowder.

Chowder well,... hes alot bigger than he was when he was a kid. Infact, I would guest that hes hitting the 300 pound mark or a little beyond it now. Trust me, Truffles should be having a field day yelling at Mong about Chowder's weight when shes not occupied with her own. I suppose Chowder wouldn't see anything wrong with his size but its probably a constantly brought up issue between Mong, Truffles, and even Shnitzel. As for his cloths he wears the ever known chef's shirt(I don't know what its called; if you know it tell me) which shows that hes made it to a higher level of apprentice to Mong Daal, now helping and working side-by-side in the kitchen without the multible complications of the past. On his head he wears a magenta cap with violet patterens and a snug scarf thats vic versa. The rest of his look is completed with a pair of fitting blue pants and a pair of simple white slip on sandles.
For the next 7 or 8 years Chowder has really shown a large amount of improvment in the kitchen. He finally has a bit of self control when food is put in front of him but he does tend to taste almost everything he's making before its finish cooking. This was only possible when Mong had started being more strict with Chowder and kept getting on the boy's case about his constant gluttonly habits. By the time Chowder was twelve he could perpare almost seventeen dishes perfectly. Mong then started to trust him more often with the orders and once he turned fifteen he even invented a new dish sauce called Ozimunk that became very popular among costomers; which Chowder only told Mong how to make. Dispite his new acheviments he's still very implusive at time and tends to rush into things without a second thought which also explains why he is still Mong Daal's apprentice. Not to mention that hes still quite clueless at times and his attention span is just the same as it was when he was nine.

Panini.

Panini has really bossomed into quite an eye catcher in the past years. She decided to grow out her hair when she turned eleven and now she blessed with beautiful pink locks that curl at the ends. Her perfect hour-glass figure is most desired and she also has atractive long legs that complimate her wide hips. The multible colored attire she's wearing is acually her maid-like outfit she wears at her own resturaunt called the 'Sweet-Tooth Cafe' '.
In her earlier years under Ms. Endive's wing Panini was know for making a vareity of sweet treats and desserts. She even created a number of new desserts and recipes that she made into a small book when she was thirteen. On one fateful day when she was having one of her succession over her long-time crush Chowder she made her fantasy wedding cake. Not known to her Ms. Endive hadn't thought twice and put Panini's cake on display and a woman had offered a large sum of money for it and soon bought it. Panini was so upset about her cake but the woman came back the next day with more people and asked Panini to make more of her delicious cakes. And the number of costomers kept increasing. The next year she had decided to also put her book of personal recipes and desserts on display and people begged her to try and get it published. With the constite of her cooking master the book was indeed published. It was called 'Num Yums Sweets and Surpises' which sold by the hundreds.

After that forturnate event Panini became rather successful and even received her chef licence at the young age of sixteen on her first try. Ms. Endive was so proud of her that she even offered to make Panini her own cooking place as a starter resteraunt. Panini happily complied and the 'Sweet-Tooth Cafe' ' was made. The shop became a popular place as the cafe' like feel really apealed to the costomers... well, not all of them. Like I said eariler Panini was quite the eye-catcher and her work attire just added on as most of her cafe' costomers happened to be men. Panini's resturaunt also doubled as a candy shop that is popular among children as it carries a vareity of home-made candies from blutter peacon cookies to sweet taffy.
Even with all these years of success she still has the hots for Chowder. She even openly told him that she likes him several times but the boy still refuses to date her. Pratically every man in Marzipan City thinks Chowder is the dumbest guy ever to refuse such a beauty like Panini and they all think she can do much, much better. However, Panini has yet to give up hope.

Gorgonzola.

Gorgonzola has really steped up to the plate in the years. With a growth sprug he shot up in height and is now 6'4 inches tall(without his candle) making him almost as tall as Shintzel. He wears a simple green wool shirt with a loosely fitted black turtle-neck undershirt. He sports a pair of tan shorts with black sandles, along with a swirled-like medallion around his neck. Before you being to wonder about his candle let me explain what hes been doing in the past few years.
Gorgonzola absolutly hates his job of being a candle holder sssooooooooooooo much but belief it or not hes concidered the best perfessional candle maker in the intire Marzipan City. Gorgonzola acually had the oppertunity when he was twelve to become something else but he threw it away when his candle holder master Stilton became serverly ill and he selflessly stayed by his side till he recovered. That was a once in a life time offer that he'd might not ever get back but in the future, no matter how much he hates his job, it'll pay off drasticly. By the time Gorgonzola turned fifteen he already surpasted Stilton in candle making and could skillfully make a candle in every color and every shape imaginable. He could make wax people, to wax fruit, to even wax miniture buildings if you paid him enough. The pumkin piece candle on his head is also made of wax except for the leafs that are perserved to last for years. The boy always took his job seriously and wouldn't stop until whatever wax piece he was working on was done to perfection. His artistic work with candles became recongized and he was asked to make several wax pieces for large amounts of money.

But Gorgonzola was really about to bring in the dough after he turned sixteen and came up with the ingenious 'wax chandeliers'. A chandelier that was made of pure wax might have sounded weird at first but Gorgonzola had created a way for it to be looked at like art; not before, but after it melted! Each chandelier would start out as a standered design but once it melts it would become one of a kind; and no two chandeliers were the same. Infact, the chandeliers were worth twice to three times as much more after they've melted! This idea became a hit among the rich of Marzipan City and they scrabbled to buy these unique pieces of funiture. However, depending on how large the chandelier was the longer it would take the boy to make, and with only the rich able to buy the boy could easily put a huge price tage. And when I say huge price tage I mean it! The largest chandelier Gorgonzola was order to make took him nearly a year to make and cost $5.3 million!!!!!! In a year's time Gorgonzola had come from begin a simple candle holder into becoming the youngest successful millionaire in the world!! And the money kept comeing in!!! It was like the wealthy were in a competition to see who could afford the most expenvise chandelier. Gorgonzola had no problem with that and he used part of his new money to make a large candle making factory, hire his own team of perfessional candle holders to help out with the production, and even paid his old candle holder master Stilton for his years of hard work.
The boy became a giant among other wax companies and as he created more and more wax designs and ideals he had them shaking in their boots. He started making candles that had flowers and other plants molded into them and along with some help with Panini he made his own line of candles with the amazing scents of food. But the icing on the wax cake that made costomers fateful was his new costomer system where he would literally buy their old wax from them and make something of their choice for a reasonable price! Gorgonzola had definately made a smart decision by staying a candle holder!!

Gorgonzola and Panini have constantly worked together during the past year with Panini catering for weddings and Gorgonzola suppling the candles and wax orniments for the cakes. The two are not considered friends but they are often seen talking together in town when neither have business to atend. What Panini and most others don't know is that Gorgonzola had developed a crush on her when they first started working together which only gotten strong over the period of time and that also added on to his resentment towards Chowder. Not only does Chowder has his dream job but to Gorgonzola, he has the most beautiful girl in the city chasing after him and he completly ignors her. Now he's colder to Chowder like never before and tends to insult him everytime they see each other. As for Panini, shes stuck in the middle a silent crossfire between Gorgonzola being her friend or her enime because of the way he treats her long time crush. The last time they talked alone together she brought up Chowder and acually ask him what she should do to get his attention and Gorgonzola just stood up and left her there without saying a word; leaving her wondering what was wrong with him. That happened a month ago and now hes just beginning to talk to her again!
