Howdy SuperFolders!!!
We’re CHANGING the way we do TALK TO TOM.
From time to time, Tom will do a LIVE session and answer questions as they come in.
Stay tuned, because the first one is coming up SOON.
Until then:
Here are a few FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, with answers!
Q: Are you writing more books?
A: YES!!!!!!
I hope to write many, many more books.
Right now I do not have a new Origami Yoda book coming out, but I do have:
The Qwikpick Papers series Book 2 coming in spring 2015.
Return of the Jedi, Summer 2015
McToad (a picture book), Fall 2015
A series with Cece coming 2016!
And of course, my other books: Fake Mustache, Horton Halfpott, Stonewall Hinkleman and Crankee Doodle.
Plus, Cece’s book, El Deafo, tells the real story behind Caroline, from the OY books.
Q: How do I write to Tom?
A: Origami Yoda
Abrams/Amulet
115 W. 18th ST
NY NY 10011
Q: Can I email Tom? Can I post my email or home address in a comment?
A: No, that’s not allowed because of Internet privacy concerns. You should NEVER post your home address online ANYWHERE. NEVER! And you should be very very careful with your email address as well.
Q: Is the TalkZone coming back?
A: No, never.
Q: Is this Website shutting down now that the series is over?
NO! The website stays! It’s a place for you guys to show off your Star Wars origami — and me, too, sometimes. So keep folding and submitting and having fun!

Hey Tom, I’m working on a EU story… and a new cover template… Can you guess what it is ???? Anyways, it should be done soon! ^.^
BatMan_Returns 18 HOURS AGO
Submitted the cover template…
TomAngleberger 5 HOURS AGO
I’m guessing…. Batman?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the story, no. It’s a collection of EU stories…. I can’t say much…
And for the template, I submitted it yesterday to this site. It’s a template for the Whiteboard cover.
BatMan_Returns
Tom, I got Pickletine today, and I read it!!! I didn’t even do my homework!!! Until my dad screamed at me to do it, but I was able to finish it! It’s my favourite out of the entire series!!
BatMan_Returns
I actually got it yesterday.
BatMan_Returns
Hey Tom, if you don’t mind I’m going to re-post my questions since they kinda got lost with other comments. Oh, new question. Do you own any Gaming consoles? And what’s you favourite?
OrigamiWizard13347
Mine is a tablet
BatMan_Returns
… A tablet isn’t a console. It’s a portable device.
captain_spongy
Hey tom. Is the origami yoda books based off of true story? [Tom tommy]
TomAngleberger
I’m not Tommy…. but a lot of the stuff in the books IS true!
Claire
It IS?
quigonjack

SF_PaperDragon
The controversial chapter in PL (minus the happy ending) happened to someone Tom knew.
SFMichael
Tom is everything okay? You said you had something going on
a good thing or bad thing?
TomAngleberger
It was a good thing. I had to drive Cece to North Carolina so she could catch a plane to Texas for a big book whoop-te-do. I’m back now.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Yes… she said she was quite nervous about flying on her site…
Claire
I live in Austin! Is she coming?!
Jessenia

Razor_folder8
Hey Tom, how did you get the idea/inspiration for the origami yoda books?

Hey Tom! If you get invited, will you come back to the Decatur Book Festival?
And do you know how people make those stooky OY book covers, like JC’s Doctor Glue cover? Because I really want to make one!
Sincerely,
Larry
TomAngleberger
I’m sure I’ll get back to Decatur at some point!!
To make a cover, just use the template in Art2D2. Or use this website: http://www.superlame.com/engine.php
Larry

TomAngleberger
Well, I didn’t know that!
SFTMGames
Hey Tom, Once, I had a STOOKY dream of a trailer for an Emperor Pickletine movie. It was where it started with a couples shot of Tommy and Sara in the LEGO robot classroom, and then Sara grabbed Tommy’s hand and they looked at each other, and the screen went black, then we heard Principal Rabbiski’s voice saying AHEM…, and they turn around and see Rabbiski (I know that scene’s from PL, but I had just read PL and Pickletine before I fell asleep, so there may be some story crossing/NewScenes), and they walk away. We then see Murky and Adam sitting on the zoo bus, folding, then Rabbiski takes them. Fade to a scene of a lit up jungle house area, where we see Remi and Ben kissing (Meerkat moment!). Screen blacks and goes to words “This Summer”, followed by Snack Frenzy, words “The Final Chapter of the Origami Yoda series”, Quavondo paying for Astro Ice Cream, The Mail-Lennium Falcon flying away, Dwight eating FY, EP up in the camera, screen blinks while Tommy and Sara first kiss happens, Then in X-Men DOFP font it says “Origami Yoda: PICKLETINE” Coming Soon.
BatMan_Returns

Tom, this is a bad time to not have cable…
I was watching some TV and this ad for Star Wars Rebels on ABC pops up. It said it was the first episode with never-before-seen footage… Including Darth Vader! And for those people who have cable, it’s on Sunday, 8/7C on ABC.
sfyoda
BLU-RAY NOOO
TomAngleberger
Sounds great!!!
Jessenia
Tom, advice.
There’s this dude (let’s call him Cookie) that is in my class.
I’m very nice to him. But he’s very mean back. He’s nice to others Except me.
Why? I don’t know. Mpim told my friends but they don’t replace because he’s nice to them. Been in a similar situation? 🙁 I don’t know what to do..
SF_MyrMyr
Keep Calm n’ Eat Pi!
Jessenia
*relate
SFRobby
Kill him… Just kidding. That would not be the right thing to do.
Jessenia
I wrote a note to him. right thing to do to a me SFs?
Btw, if you guys remember, it’s Cesar (salad)
jediluke321
Try speaking to your teacher, and if they are with you confront him with the teacher.
Geekoid
Yes follow the advice of jedi wise Bossnass but rember vilonce =bad if u get caught…
Ed_the_Brit
I was always mean to a girl back in primary school, right kids, and fast foward twelve years and now we’re a couple :D. Why was I mean to her? The same reason boys are always mean to girls…because they like them :).
sfyoda
Ignore him. If he thinks you don’t care, he won’t keep trying.
Jessenia
Thanks peeps! Though Tom didn’t answer..
Lord_Vader
Jessenia, prank him. It will make him cheerful. (Fast forward in time) NO PDAS! (Everyone barfs)
Claire
Just remember…never be mean or use physical violence.
Always think about what the other person is feeling.

_dwight_
Is it true emporer pickletene rides the bus is the last book and I can’t believe origami yoda went to a different school I was so sad ???? but really good I loved it
SFRobby
It wasn’t that sad. It was executed in a funny way, which ultimately ruined the sad effect.
Yodasquad
Maybe he will make another series about the micah fiasco
pickletine02

emperorpickletine10
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew Caroline was based off of Cece. But I thought it might be rude to ask.
Claire
Me too!
Darth_Lukeious111
Tom, have you played the Angry Birds version of Star Wars? Download it you MUST!
SuperFolderUnicorn
he answered that before. Its Yoda.
And Tom, which is your favourite star wars quote?
DylanSolo
Tom who is your favorite character from star wars ?
Boxart_Mario
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.
That’s Belle’s favourite quote. She had a shirt that says it.
What’s your favorite Non Star Wars Quote Tom?
Arrow
“Belle”?
Brace_Face
???? Snoopy’s sister ????
Jessenia
Heh Belle.
SFRobby
False. The nearest star is 93 million miles from the moon.
CHIPPY_SLUSHER
Plus there is a huge margin for error in which you just rocket through space without ever reaching a celestial body…
SFRobby
Yep. So you might as well just make sure you land on the moon.
Arrow
XD
SFRockHopper
Tom, when will you post your EZ Rocket Raccoon instrux?
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, can you draw Origami Yoda watching Star Wars Rebels?
sf_c3p0
Tom, I was just wondering if you know where Yoda came from? (I read that origami Yoda told some one in Darth Paper Strikes Back…)
Yodasquad
murky
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, have you ever read Star Wars Jedi Academy series? It’s stooky!
Ed_the_Brit
Wicked series, love it.
emperorpickletine10
I do to. Did you relies that Bill is the same alien as Nien Nunb? Have you read DARTH VADER AND SON? It’s hilarious.
Ed_the_Brit
All the Star Wars books by Jeff Brown are cool but the Jedi Academy series is the best. His books on cats are pretty good too.
emperorpickletine10
no boss nass I haven’t read Vader’s little princess. is it as good as Vader and son?
Claire
Just read JA! So stooky!
Ecko123
Tom ,I think you didn’t see this question and it was buried in a couple pages back so…What do you think of a mega doodle with a couple of shelfs at a supermarket with things only related to food like for instance… General Cheeses or The Big Pink or Origami Yoda going “Food I am not!” Is this possible? I think it would be funny.
emperorpickletine10
Tom I think you’d like a book called Darth Vader and Son? The imperial armada from endor went to Vader’s house and 4 year old Luke said ” I’m not allowed 2 talk 2 strangers”
Claire
I love that book. XD >)
OrigamiJediYoda24
Tom, can you make instrux for Qui Gon Jinn?
OrigamiJediYoda24
Hey Tom, can you draw Foldy Wan Kenobi throwing a Flying Darth Vader?
SF_PaperDragon
Hey Tom, you should fold/make instrux for the entire Max Rebo band!
SF_PaperDragon
