Gravity Falls is an animated television series created by Alex Hirsch. In the show exists a collection of journals written by a once-unknown author, Dipper and Mabel's great uncle Stanford "Ford" Pines. One of the protagonists Dipper Pines, finds the third book while hanging signs at the forest hidden by his great uncle Ford. Season 1 antagonist Gideon Gleeful held the second book from a school, and protagonists' great uncle and the author's twin brother Stanley Pines held the first book since the beginning. The journals include entries from the author's documentation of Gravity Falls. In the series, Dipper uses the third journal as his own as he documents his summer in the town. [7] [8]
