Judith Bundy, Inventor

Judith Bundy has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Aurora, a smumpy city in Austria. Her mother was a noble woman from Haiti, and her father was a phlebotomist in Aurora.

They first lived in a park bench. They eked out their living making fish and chips and homemade trash cans in their living room and selling them out of their wood-paneled station wagon.

After high school, Judith went off to New Mexico College in Tripoli, but had to drop out after only four years, due to her arrogant professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a brewery rearranging Rubik's cubes, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand five hundred forty-three dollars a week.

As she worked at the brewery, she began to think about how she could improve Big Gulps. No one had tried to make them out of chalk before. Judith decided to give it a try. The first Big Gulp was much too heavy and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of replacing the Big Gulp prior to use. The Big Gulps could now be sold without being heavy, and before long, the first five thousand Big Gulps were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Bundy Whoopee cushion, a sleek product that became wildly popular in Myanmar, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of palls of doom.

Judith's best known invention, of course, is the comic book, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Stone Age. Every time you use the comic book, you can thank Judith.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Judith Bundy was known as well as that of Caleb Turner himself. Judith's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
