Sometimes... One needs a little help coming up with ideas, as Mr. Foxy learned as he'd crumple up page after page of sketches he felt were "Useless." His friend "Muse" came over at just the right time and told him, "For every page you crumple up, this little hammer will hit you in the head." After experiencing the first blow, Foxy could only mutter through clenched teeth, "Thanks Muse." She grinned in a "Predatory" way and replied, "Always happy to help Foxy."
It was at that moment Foxy noticed Muse dressed up like a Jester and he asked her what that get up was for. "Why it's April Fool's day!" she replied. "Isn't it supposed to be Easter?" Foxy asked rubbing his sore head. "Indeed it is!" Muse replied. "Two holidays in one!" "What Genius thought that up? Foxy grumbled, and resumed trying to sketch again, but this time, a little more cautiously.

"Scientific Progress Goes Boink" is the title of one Calvin&Hobbes book, where Calvin "invents" a machine that would turn out his inner tiger. Hobbes was sceptical, but it was all in the name of scientific progress. so Calvin crawled into that cardboard box, which then made "Boink!" to which Hobbes mused the above line. Calvin came out looking like a very short version of Hobbes...
The episode you're thinking about is called "Miri" They visited a planet that had no adults and whenever one of the children reached puberty they contracted a disease that caused them to go insane and die. The phrase "bonk, bonk" was used to explain punishment usually with clubs. BTW, the leader of the children of that episode, Michael J. Pollard, died last November.
I know the feeling, though I was dabbling in writing rather than art. Ideas can be written down, but for me it was hit and miss whether I could recapture the state of mind I was in when the idea first appeared, which wasn't helped by my slow handwriting! (plus it being hard to get down useful details on nebulous aspects of an idea) Here's hoping you fare better!
Surprisingly writing and drawing are pretty much alike, but I believe writing is more challenging as the author has to raise the images in the reader's heads. I get way too overly descriptive in my writing as I try to script everything like I'm writing descriptions of a comic. So I get "Lazy" and scribble little drawings to get my ideas down on the page. Some of my "Scribble Scripts" could almost pass for the comics.
I just hope your Muse will prompt your imagination with a walk in the woods instead of a mallet.
