《Cartoon Theories》Is Plank from Ed, Edd, n Eddy alive?
Advertisement
Finally, another Ed, Edd, n Eddy theory! Now we are going to talking about good ol' Johnny 2x4 but more focused on his buddy Plank.
To the naked eye Plank is nothing more than just a piece of wood with a face drawn on it that Johnny carries around. It is likely that he is a comfort item to him like Linus' blanket or Louis Belcher's bunny ears hat. Double D even diagnosis him as someone with low self-esteem and social phobias resulting in Johnny using Plank as somebody to play with.
Johnny is never seen with out Plank (voluntarily) but when he is separated from him, he starts to spiral and goes crazy. Johnny has made a whole personality for Plank and includes him in conversation between himself and others. He even translates what Plank says to others.
In the episode Rent-A-Ed Johnny gets his head stuck in a tree branch facing away from his house. Eddy walks out the backdoor of Johnny's house holding Plank. He clearly can't see Eddy or Plank but Plank tells Johnny that the Ed-boys are trashing his kitchen. But how could Johnny know what they are doing if 1. He is outside and 2. He can't see outside or inside his house in his current position BUT Plank can.
In Season 2s Dear Ed there are 6 chairs. Johnny is sitting in chair 1 and Plank in 6. Ed walks buy with a bunch of stuff, after he passes Johnny is in chair 2 and Plank in 5. A conga line passes consisting of Rolf, Nazz, Kevin, Sarah, and Jimmy. Behind them Johnny moves to chair 3 and Plank moves to chair 4, finally reunited again.
In Gimme, Gimme Never Ed the Ed-boys made a roller coaster type thing and Johnny tells Eddy to wait and that Plank is only in it for kicks which Double D confirms but Eddy doesn't listen. Eddy then tells Johnny to "hand over that gullible hunk of wood" but Johnny isn't holding Plank anymore. Eddy asks where he went but Johnny doesn't even know. Ed points to Plank who is now behind them. He falls over BY HIMSELF and starts the homemade coaster.

In All Eds are Off, Eddy bets that Double D couldn't go a whole day without using words with more than like 1 or 2 syllables, Kevin couldn't say "Dork" for the day, and Johnny couldn't go the whole day without Plank. Everywhere Johnny went, Plank was near by. They all of course lost but still, Plank was able to go around the school without the help of Johnny? Interesting.
But the biggest, most convincing evidence of all is in Ed, Edd, n Eddy's Big Picture where Plank is seen driving a bus all by himself. Johnny is seen in the same shot as Plank but isn't touching him. These aren't all the times that Plank was shown to do stuff by himself of course but should be enough.
So take what you want from this chapter but it seems to me that Plank is real. There is even an episode where Plank's parents come to visit him!
Thank you all for reading!

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

8 139Party Leveling
{A new notification has arrived.} In front of a few people, these hologram-looking messages appeared and changed their lives in entirely different forms. Things such as growing stronger, becoming smarter, feeling more agile, became possible within short periods of time from that point onwards. The one who regretted his weak healing abilities for years began to chase after the magic powers that could turn reason and sense upside down while keeping his goal, this duty to the wrongs he committed. The other one, who complained about his lack of strength, strove towards the path of an unbeatable champion to protect those he held dear. When the person who had everything found a path to desire for more, not fearing the consequences and the obstacles, he also began to walk onwards to a new life. And among them, the one who walked aimlessly but also never stepped down on the choices he made along the way, was the one who couldn’t be ignored nor disrespected by anyone. The “Player” system that they all obtained, and which granted them several abilities, knowledge and directions, was also the beginning of an entire new era in this world where monsters, magic and technology, were already common and wide-spread. There’s not a single hero, but after committing mistakes after mistakes, learning from the painful and thorny path that they take, and growing as people with the people that surround them, then someday... there will certainly be saviors. [Quick reminder that this novel is also being published in Webnovel(dot)com and ScribbleHub(dot)com]
