Description (ahhhh don't laugh...everyone else has such cool designs for them )
But yep, these are my earlier concepts of Manfredi and Johnson and how I envisioned them (and still kinda do). Originally, I believe I had their designs swapped (can't remember quite exactly) but that was very short lived at the time I heard Skipper's "Manfredi is cute" comment. Darn it Skipper, now I cannot unsee what it is now. But I am okay with that

I imagine them around Rico's height with Johnson slightly shorter.This duo goes about their own way, sticking together, causing trouble(though not always intending to xD)...Giving Skipper noogies lol. I imagine Johnson with this deeeeeep voice, very accommodating, and likes to rough-house(in a friendly way). While Manfredi is someone who is never afraid to express his opinon, a comical speaker, and can be very impatient. He likes to rough-house too...but not directed to Johnson to much. Despite his friendly/cuddly appearance, don't judge a book by it's cover xD See? He's asking you to give him your lunch money.I would do it...you don't know what's behind that left flipper of his O_o
I really would love to see these characters in the show/movie.These playful, joking, yet serious business penguins(?). Hopefully we will

They are similar to Skipper and Kowalski on that image, but here they look better than in the episode

In my opinons for them, your Johnson would be suited for Manfredi better while his suited the other as well But it's your fanart, your opinion, and best designes I've seen so far (stillnotcloseenoughbutitsyourartlikeivesaid ). I will take them switched in my mind though, thank you

I won't talk about them detailed not to get you bored, but I thought Johnson as the old leader of the team, Skipper's idol and Manfredi as Rico's best friend, creating a troublesome duo

That is quite alright, because originally, it was the other way around! No joke. And thank you~ I'm glad you like my designs x3

Hey no worries, I love to hear people's theories And this one is certainly different! It was never clear if Skipper was the leader, I don't think And I like how you connected the characters. A lot of people think Manfredi+Johnson are the young troublesome duo. Do you think Kowalski and Private were around with them?

*nods* I had created the positions of the six in a fanfiction of mine. Skipper was the youngest if you don't count Private, and Kowalski and Johnson were at the same age. Manfredi and Rico were buddies from the years back at streets, never seen seperated from each other - until Manfredi died. They had got arrested for the crimes they had done, but for one reason, they were sent to military school instead of going to jail for life. Everyone hated them, because they were rebels not soldiers, but Johnson, the star student was sent to stop them harming the school and students. Johnson was a great commando canditate, he was good with strategies, getting along with people, trusting the right people, having always correct instincts. He didn't do well in maths and science, but he could understand as much as he needed to. After a while he got friends with Rico and Manfredi, he saved Kowalski's works that has been damaged by some jerks and scolded him about not having self confidence, and made him become Kowalski we know today. Skipper was idolizing Johnson, but he was just an ordinary chick unlike today. Someday he got the courage to ask to join the team which was the best one in the school, and other four -especially Johnson- liked him and made him the fifth member, and he was trained like the future leader of the team. If you ask how did he become Skipper now, there was a time he spent seperated from the remaining three which I didn't mention in that fanfiction, and it included Denmark. Private... Well, yeah, he was the 6th member. In a mission the now graduated and became elite had in Britain (which there was still some time until Skipper did but he had secretly hid and followed them, it was forbidden the senior students to go on missions ranked above C), they got him from there and with a training, they managed to get Private in military school from grade 7 which a penguin in his age should be at. When Manfredi and Johnson died, Private was a few months away from graduating and he wasn't with them because the mission was ranked A.

I was never particularly good with imagining how the two might look myself, but it's always fun to see how different artists see the late commandos.

Indeed, it is fun Even though, I usually prefer sticking with how the canon is (unless of course if it's an OC or something). But who knows when (or even if!) they'll show Manfredi and Johnson.

That's a nice proposition for them.

Skipper just keep mention them always, but no one knows what really happened to them.

Why would anyone laugh?! Your designs are awesome. Haha, our Johnson's are a bit similar, but I gotta say, love the puffed out chest Darn Skipper saying Manfredi is cute, changing our perception of them! We both see them similar in height >>
Dooooooohhhh, chubby Manfredi is love He is so cute! ;-; Yes, don't judge Manfredi by his cover xD He's a total bad@ss on the inside 0_o What's behind his left flipper? He hiding something, obviously x3 It'd be awesome if they ended up being somewhat how we imagine them, if not, just seeing them in action will be awesome

;-; Thanks a bunch. At first I thought they would be too plain or ooc...but I still love em'! Sexy Johnson is sexy! I've been trying to recall what I was thinking back then when I drew them out. Figuring out who is who To me Manfredi is the cute name, but I didn't see him as a cute penguin. Or haha, I think it could also been the fact I drew them in opposite directions. I remember saying, "Noooo I wanted Manfredi to be on the left side...." lol. Poor Skipper, he is still the short stuff. Haha, I bet he was so happy once Private got on the team xD No longer the shorter penguin there. Barely...wait till Private get's older XD
Uh-oh, you're falling for his cuteness! Careful young recruit... But it's true! Chubby people are so lovable I picture him pulling out a rifle and landing it on his right flipper. Hmm left handed Manfredi but lolol naw, he's totally bluffing Yeah, that would be a big mind blow right there! Either or, it will be great

Fishy716 In reply to moonwolf03 [2012-03-21 05:31:23 +0000 UTC]

No, not at all! We all love those jokesters To me, Manfredi is a really macho/tough name, so I didn't imagine him all that cute at first Haha, I did the same. I was just drawing and halfway finishing Manfredi I thought, "Crap, now it's Johnson and Manfredi, instead of Manfredi and Johnson " Maybe it's meant to be that Johnson is Manfredi's right (Or left in our perspective ) Private joining the team must have been one of the happiest days of his life. Or perhaps he chose Private because he was short "Qualifications to join my team...you can't be taller than me. An inch shorter than me?! You're in!" xDDD Haha, yeah, Private's just a youngin', Skipper will forever remain the short one ;-; Atleast Kowalski likes you for who you are Skipper
Crap, gotta watch out for Manfredi, being all deceptive, pretending to be cute and innocent. Aye Captain Kiwi! My friends often call me a 'chub chaser' >////> They say I dated a few chubby weighted people or medium weight, never people who are skinny He'd pull out the rifle without even looking and have it land perfectly His b@ side is revealed! I think Kowalski is left handed too...? (YES, just double checked in "Miracle on Ice" he writes with is his left flipper)

moonwolf03 In reply to Fishy716 [2012-03-24 04:10:49 +0000 UTC]

Then again, he doesn't have to look cute at all. His personality could be cute, but maybe doesn't look it. Possibly To me, Manfredi has great leadership potential. And Johnson could be his right hand man lol. Yeppers, Private's still got some growing to do x3 And that is totally the way he joined Skipper's team You can tell by his feet, so much smaller than his superiors. Will he get kicked off the team if he did get taller? Who knows, but I don't think we'll ever see them 'older' though
All about image. That is how first impressions work, learn from Manfredi, he has good logic xD Hmm Captain Kiwi..so is that a name or an insult? lolol. Chub chaser sounds kinda epic I think because it's an alliteration xDD Skinny people are hard to hang around with; your afraid that you'll break them in half in a hug or something
Yep, see I told ya he's ambidextrous "Our Man in Grrfurjiclestan" also has a left handed Kowalski I'm sure there's more somewheres too

Fishy716 In reply to moonwolf03 [2012-03-25 17:18:51 +0000 UTC]

That is true Skipper, Y U NO clear on what you meant by 'cute?' I wonder if Manfredi was Skipper's right hand before Kowalski came along (Still totally believe Kowalski was on the team with them for a bit of time before Manfredi and Johnson 'died' or left or whatever happened to them ). Right-hand man to the right hand man? x3 Possible. What if Manfredi and Johnson really split off from Skipper and Kowalski to form their own group? And Manfredi is the Skipper and Johnson is the Lieutenant? Oh gosh, Private's gonna go through a growth-spurt and Skipper's gonna moap all week xD "I was finally taller than someone!" Considering the fact Kowalski and Rico are taller, I doubt Skipper would, he might be upset for a while though lol. We probably never will Darn
Go Manfredi go! That's a name...xD More like a title. I loved that part in the special. Captain Kiwi, and Lieutenant Pom reporting for duty Gaaahhh chub chaser O/////o people made fun of me for the longest time, but I've come to accept it xD Sounds epic? BOOMSHAKANA! I'm kinda skinny too >> My ex's were always scared of breaking me Darn
Kowalski being ambidextrous means he can be on either of Skipper's sides Gah, another thing to look out for, for the PoM book!

You're very welcome! Well, Johnson was the tough one, and I have him a scar over his left eye. He sorta has a hairdo like Rico's. Manfredi was small and plump, and I gave him a cute hairdo too I'll have to post it sometime
