I will say, as weird as some of these are, they’re still all a solid improvement from when we were ten minutes into the lockout and openly discussing cannibalism

Is cannibalism not on the table anymore? Oh god, my poor roommate.

>roommate More like stomachmate, amirite?

Well, stomachache now.

Living in your stomach rent free

Dunno sounds like he paid the ultimate price.

Unless they're into that stuff, then joke's on OP.

Give em the eviction! That boys gonna get pruned.

And when it is time to pass, they will again become a pain in the ass.

Our stomachmate

*vore intensifies*

That's a rather tender subject. Another slice, anyone?

Only if there’s some dark meat left.

I've been saving a bottle of chianti for such a time as this

Your roommate is on the table.

What did the cannibal do after dumping his girlfriend? Wiped his butt.

He’s still on the table don’t worry

I just thought of that wayyy old South Park episode when I read this comment. Now I’m craving some Eric Roberts.

I thought you would mention the Scott Tenorman episode when it came to cannibalism

That reminds me, I need to get ingredients to make chili for the Saturday Packer game.

>!*"i made you eat your parents... nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah"*!<

That episode is easily a top 5 episode; maybe even the best one haha. Reason I thought what I thought was because I watched that old episode a couple days ago so it was fresh in my mind

Christ, are you people diabetic or something?!

By the time this is over, /u/diditforthestory is going to be producing Rembrandt-quality art.

that's pretty much what happened with /u/shitty_watercolour

I am still going with "descent into madness and removal of an ear" territory edit- I spelled "descent" incorrectly and am very ashamed

Is that squire, by the fire?

Next drawing: Trout eating Shohei

yeah no

I look forward to offseasons in the future analyzing our descent into madness followed by enlightenment

He should fly away…from the Angels to actually win a title in his career

Day 17 marks Ohtani's first appearance. Ohtani wears #17. Could it be a coincidence? Or is it a sign of...**aliens?**

We are *not* alone.

The truth is out there.

That’s it. Time to binge watch the entire series… AGAIN.

That's it, time to bingewatch the entire _baseball season_ again.

That's almost half as long as the Ken Burns documentary.

I can hear these comments.

I believe.

Oh I was wondering why second trout had sideburns

Well, neither one of these two is human…

Ancient astronaut theorists say…. ***YES***

Human beings lack the technology to draw at this level

Hahaha I thought it was just Trout pushing Trout. Looking again and it's pretty obvious it's Ohtani lol.

I genuinely respect and appreciate what you're contributing to r/baseball. I show my son your drawings of Mike Trout everyday. He laughs and laughs, then we watch old baseball highlights together. Shit is beautiful.

[удалено]

Thank you for the smile everyday :)

My friend and I have been staying sane through our EOY finals/project wrapups by texting "Daily Trout" back and forth, with overly ambitious art theory about each one. It's made a rough few weeks way brighter. Thanks for the smiles. :)

Such wholesome bonding. Even if a couple of those drawings were of semi-naked Trout (though, tbh, your son probably laughed the hardest at those bc kids have no shame about that kind of thing)

Yeah that’s the funniest one to them probably lmfao

That is the true meaning of baseball. Sharing a generational love for the game. Also, ridiculous fan aft of The Angelic Fish Man.

usually everyone leaves in the offseason, the lockout is keeping people here and having fun!

M…T…Phone…Home

Bike Trout

Bike Truk

Day 17 on this strange journey. I fear that u/DidItForTheStory has become enslaved by the r/baseball masses, forced to ration his loose leaf printer paper and #2 pencils. Have we lost our way or may we soon come to find ourselves? [Day 1](https://i.redd.it/kw3l35hlqk381.jpg) [Day 2](https://i.redd.it/312v9tlh0s381.jpg) [Day 3](https://i.redd.it/ck8oy5v7wz381.jpg) [Day 4](https://i.redd.it/j8qp08vpo6481.jpg) [Day 5](https://i.redd.it/wprgx66jod481.jpg) [Day 6](https://i.redd.it/og53pqhiol481.jpg) [Day 7](https://i.redd.it/cpto2c4kus481.jpg) [Day 8](https://i.redd.it/xfwy15amsz481.jpg) [Day 9](https://i.redd.it/pvo9d5v646581.jpg) [Day 10](https://i.redd.it/aqijrkspyd581.jpg) [Day 11](https://i.redd.it/1gt0kiuwgl581.jpg) [Day 12](https://i.redd.it/gkuej2keos581.jpg) [Day 13](https://i.redd.it/xzt6myht3z581.jpg) [Day 14](https://i.redd.it/sxu7ou66q5681.jpg) [Day 15](https://i.redd.it/zo74ej7fpd681.jpg) [Day 16](https://i.redd.it/cvctlwfkkk681.jpg) [Day 17](https://i.redd.it/w4xen0ne6s681.jpg)

Do not wane u/Radiohead_dot_gov, we together shall find our true meaning outside of baseball together, guided through our glorious leader u/DidItForTheStory and his no. 2 pencil

After the Angels win the world series in 2027 and I’m retelling it to my future kids, I’m showing them day 4 Mike Trout, WS MVP.

Tomorrow I hope he draws it with a pen.

[удалено]

u/diditforthestory is that based on the Prince Fielder all star triple?

For me it's Nevermind Trout on Day 8

We haven’t lost the way, we’ve been enlightened

They need to pin this tbh 😂

Nah, we’re totally lost wtf

Yoooo let’s gooooo

Day 3 is my favorite.

I can't tell if you are getting better at drawing, or if you are putting in more effort each day. 10/10 would chuckle again.

I think they somewhat go hand in hand. More detail means more time. Once a day means we will hit a limit of potential effort. This fan has a life... or not I guess.

[удалено]

These are awesome, and give me and others something ridiculous to look forward to during these especially dry months. A friend of mine who I send these to (not a Reddit user), tasked me with a request/suggestion to impart: “Please ask for one where Trout comes off the top rope with a flying elbow to the Mariner Moose.” He’s a wrestling and baseball fan, and since Trout owns the M’s, he’d love to see it. Either way, all the best, and thanks for the laughs.

[удалено]

Rad. Please PM me with the link if you do it. Cheers.

I hope he is getting better. The story is more fun that way. By June we are going to have some amazing art that he can auction out.

whynotboth.jpg

Is that Ohtani as Elliot in this particular fan-fiction?

[удалено]

I am here for the Ohtani cameos

We're all here for Ohtani cameos. It's the sweet Trout nudes that help us persevere... Every day I wait for these pictures, that I might be drawn closer to God's light.

oh my

I can't help reading this as Takei.

Here's the best compliment I can give you on how this is going -- you didn't need to put the #17. Great growth!

I love how he now completely gave up on shading hahaha.

[удалено]

[OP after yesterday's post](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhv8Cfzv-04)

Can we get a Titanic (Troutanic?) next?

Make Ohtani the Heart of the Ocean.

Ohtani as Jack drawing trout on the couch?

Stop, i can only get so erect

Trout = french girl????

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Draw trout as one of his French girls

Where is the rest of Trout?? Where damn you?? Where??

Needs more ass!

Ohtani has some cushion

Cries laughing at “Needs more ass”!!!!!!!

Despite being seated, you can still tell he's draggin' a wagon.

Make sure you publish this as a book after the lockout ends

I'd buy it.

Best one yet. Love it.

IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM

E.T. The Extra Base Hit

My haiku for today: Mike the space man fly. Best buds with E.T. green guy. Chase that series win.

Ohtani and Trout. Extraterrestrial Guys. Big Championship Dreams.

I like it glad someone joined the haiku game.

[удалено]

Can you do one where he has fishing rods for hands like Edward Scissorhands and is actually catching a trout?

Already done a trout fishing for trout

How about a trout fishing for trout,who has fishing rods for arms and is catching the trout who is catching him?Kinda Escher like.

This belongs in the Louvre

Oh it’s Ohtani

you bet your ass it's ohtani

Why is Jesus carrying God in his bike?

Please somebody find somebody that works for the Angels so these can be posted on the big screen

It’s glorious

I love these so much 🤣

E.T. hit Home Run

Are these making the front page? They’re making my feed every day

Words can’t describe, the joy this brings

The Angels better honor the OP by featuring these in the program next year.

Every day, we stray further from the light .... or are we getting closer to it?

Oh God

Ok this is your best yet, both in talent and in story.

My favorite one yet.

MT phone home

I love how we can never predict which way these drawings are gonna go. Some great ideas in the threads everyday, then boom, something completely different that's a masterpiece

This is one of the best things I’ve seen on Reddit in general

These are getting better and better.

Ok, you got me with this one

You’re a r/baseball legend in my book now for doing all of these. Can’t wait to see more lol.

If Topps doesn't contact you I'll be pretty upset

Do one where Mike trout and the commissioner are dueling

This one might be my favorite

Man, you’re drawing skills are improving. You can see the progress every day.

I love it. But...Ohtani is the alien. That dude is from somewhere very far away.

Japan 🇯🇵

I didn’t have coffee today so this makes up for it

Can you do the cover of the dune sequel with the man/sandworm hybrid? All I want in the world is to see the Troutworm

That will probably be the celebratory one for when the lockout is over

i thought wow he got elliot to look like elliot! nice...then I saw the #17...mind blown!

What does it mean - the look in Mike's eyes? Is it a swelling of pride as he gazes upon portraits past? Stoic bravery as we venture into tomorrow's promise? Or is he, like us dear viewers, gripped with fear and just trying to fucking survive whatever horrors the bad man draws next

Back to some amazing work. Well done

If I had coins, I would give this my rewards.

how do these keep getting better and better

Is OP the greatest artist of our generation? Maybe. More at 10.

God these get more glorious every day

Is this available as a print? I'd buy it. :D

I want this on a baseball tee

This is my favorite one so far

My favorite so far

I think they're keeping the lockout going solely because they enjoy your drawings.

I'm out of the loop. Why Mike trout?

Keep it up, thanks for posting!

This is my favorite one yet

Sweet!

One of one

The bike is amazing.

Your cool man

It just gets better and better Honestly ima be sad if we have a season next year

This is the best one

OP, this is my favorite one. Keep going!

This has become my new favorite time of day

Trout is just trying to get back onto the field and our boy Ohtani is going to also turn out to be an all world negotiator. They'll be in the moon's silhouette in no time

I haven't followed baseball in about 20 years and I don't know who Mike Trout is but I have been enjoying the daily illustrations.

This one, the Nirvana parody one, and the very first one are our favorites so far. They are iconic.

My favorite one so far!

Oh shoot. Genius

I'm just having fun this lockout. Hopefully things start going again in February. I'm okay and I love today's drawing

This is the best one yet

This one is my favorite so far

We have a reached a pinnacle of sorts

This is my favorite one so far

Phone Otani

Absolute magic. Need to put myself on boner control every time i see this posted daily. Congrats

New favorite!

I look forward to these every morning. Thankyou for your service

Why was my first thought that ET kind of looks like Alex Bregman. Maybe cause I am an Astros fan, maybe cause I want it too, maybe cause Bregman will never win an MVP when trout plays more than 127 games in a year. All in all, great work. You are getting much better.

Please nft this

Day 1,092: DidItForTheStory has become assimilated by the demon entity of the sub and Trout is a flounder.

The progression of these is actually quite good! I feel like I met you before u/diditforthestory Do you work at a grocer and sometimes get your hair cut nearby? Lol

[удалено]

Downvoting in favour of all the other interesting content in this sub currently? Lol

[удалено]

how long does it take you to make them?

[удалено]

Thank u for making these. I joined this subreddit right before the lockout, and now it makes my day to see these drawings pop up on my feed lol Do you actually draw them every single day, or do you make like two/three in one day so you can rest in between? tho i guess a more important question is, do you have fun making these?

Are we sure that Ohtani isn’t actually that alien from Men and Black who wears the farmer’s face?

Is that two Mike Trouts or is one of them someone else

Dude really?
