Good stick Battles for stick men

Tonight, looking for a check [which I eventually found], I came across a wonderful artifact from Daniel's recent literary forays - probably from sometime in 2014.  It was a "book" - several pieces of copier paper stapled together, rendered entirely in black crayon, with the content below.  Spelling, spacing and case-sensitivity are scrupulously faithful to the original manuscript.

[Title, surrounded by bold black dots, almost like a movie marquee]

Good stick 
Battles for 
stick men.

[Drawings of stick-men and swords]

[Bottom of the  page:]
Number 1
Battle of the stick

The second page contains sixteen frames - mostly filled with violent stick-figure scenes, but two containing text, rather like a silent movie. 

 One text-box reads:  
I'll save 
The 
Day  

The second one reads: 
every 
one 
dide

The third box:  "The END [except that END is colored out, an apparent bit of redaction]

The fourth and final frame reads:  
chapter two
more fighting

Unfortunately, this is where the unfinished masterpiece stops, for now...
Only Daniel could write a book where "every one dide" in Chapter 1, but Chapter 2 is still planned to have more fighting
