the decapitated shadowmen appear to be demanding a human sacrifice

that may be worse! Especially if “like cowboys” is intended as a separate thought and a command rather than a clarification on the first one. I REFUSE to like cowboys.

am I going to prison?

and it isn’t even hard to edit mickey mouse into a nazi uniform or simply draw one.

not that i have a particular problem with felix the cat beyond my usual aesthetic frustration with characters that are all one color except around parts of their face and inaugurating minstrel show stereotypes in animation, but the picture i edited (and that I can’t for the moment find posted on any of my better accounts) already had felix in it. but i think this is consistent with mickey mouse being a ripoff of felix. in an alternate situation where mickey mouse’s fascist views were more outwardly expressed, that would only happen because felix did it first.

more to the “point,” as what seems to be usual, AI-generation’s foremost appeal is to the laziest, selfishist, basest, most hateful people who might as well be wearing those uniforms themselves.
The right wing vendetta against disney is pretty stupid because for 99% of its existence the disney corporation exclusively pushed conservative values:
-virtue is hereditary.
-wealth is deserved — if not by nobility, CERTAINLY the monarchy above them, provided it is the prettiest members of the monarchy.
-hetero normative whites are the only people who matter, in the event other types of people exist.
-corporations are OWED not just business but loyalty.
-corporations are not subject to the laws of common folk.
-if you can buy something you deserve the right to claim creative ownership of it and charge other people to look at it. if you can claim it without buying it, even better

Disney helped pound that stuff into the brains of lazy, selfish, base, hateful people. And it’s STILL doing that, but since those boneheads turned on it, gladly wasting luxembourgs worth of electricity just to regurgitate non-jokes about it, it somehow gets credit for being progressive, and its usual agenda continues to go virtually unscrutinized by anyone with credibility. Me having no credibility is implicit in that statement.

credibility may be overrated

based on something that happened actually to someone other than me. Somebody who didn’t trust doctors in the past due to legitimate bad experiences more recently had issues discontinuing a medication at the same time as getting caught up in a misinformation vortex meant to discredit scientists so to funnel support toward republican political candidates with no regard for people who actually need help and aren’t ever going to vote for scumbags, now distrusts doctors harder than ever and keeps getting worse mentally due to not trusting doctors so to get help with the medication issue but then also cannot be guided out of that due to continually getting stuck with doctors who seem less than trustworthy. In fact it is rather an ongoing matter but i think, i hope, the worst is over with, so i can justify posting the comic strip in the absence of anything else remotely coherent.
Now I need to take this computer apart to try and replace the “thermal paste” within it due to my other ongoing crisis that people getting paid loads of money could have prevented and saved trouble for countless common folk but didn’t. If I succeed at this I still will only have scrappy website updates but will have a substantially reduced chance of blowing up the computer and setting my home on fire if I ever get back to attempting to create better updates.

ah nope, worse than ever. i definitely have to pay somebody to fix it or buy another one now. which i partially expected but i was never psychologically prepared to deal with. taking that thing apart and especially putting it back together, then dismantling it and remantling it again and only getting this is more than i can do a third time and potentially STILL get… this. plenty of videos showing how to take everything out but you are mostly on your own when it comes to putting stuff back in.

most of your screws are just not in or the wrong place. one is wrong and ruined and unremovable and thus the power port will forever after be lopsided AND i didn’t even need to remove that one

the screws DO NOT WANT to go back in. they want to stick to my fingers. they want to fall into different places and roll around unvisibly. they want to get stuck sideways and then fly to oblivion when freed.

and after all that, when it simply shuts off after a few seconds, it gives no indication of what thing that i did wrong was the culprit. I have been doing things wrong my whole life, possibly even beans on toast, i can’t work with something that needs all things done correctly.

i have my data, but i can’t do anything with it on this crummy backup computer that i bought for my mother that my sister then commandeered. it has TWO (2) usb ports, and i need 3, for mouse, keyboard, and tablet, not counting the one connected to the

hard drive toaster thing. and i also “have to” go on a week long “vacation” and nothing is less relaxing to me than being stuck in some other place on someone else’s conditions and not about work on my personal stupid nonsense. there certainly isn’t time to order a new machine then and i don’t trust any place to fix this fast and not charge moreforfeoieroufreefropfrupidorfrupefrupefrupelope

was trying to use ptm 7950 instead of paste like reddit dorks insisted was better the problem? would it be working now if i had just used paste? is someone that i pay $200+ just going to use paste? I don’t know. any time i open it up another screw goes missing and every time i have to reconnect the blorks to the wifi card i think i lose a year off my life.

i swear this comic strip is not about me. I have ISSUES but they aren’t new or freshly medicated.

/////////////////////

ah! it lives! I had not screwed the fan in tightly enough. One of the guides I looked at warned against screwing the fan in too tightly and as usual i drew the wrong conclusion from advice that i probably would have been fine without receiving. Good thing i dared to look back inside; i almost had a nervous breakdown when i resigned myself to using GIMP on a backup computer for the next twoish weeks. How do I move a selection? I don’t know! I thought just KRITA made that stupid. I am glad it doesn’t have to be my problem.
I don’t know if i actually solved the INITIAL problem of overheating but i seem to have alleviated the apparently more serious problem of me touching the computer inappropriately. It has more screws outside of it than in and the keyboard is on my bed since I got tireder and tireder of hooking stuff like that back up just for nothing to happen. Ideally I will sort that out before getting on an airplane because this thing presently looks almost as dangerous as four ounces of water with its insides and wires exposed.

and my mind state is like I have been “away” from using the computer for a week or longer when it was just a single day. Maybe this is a sign of mental illness. I will add it to my collection

GREAT. It’s about time. We’ll finally have Hitler on the ropes.
I like The Guardian, generally, but why is this news? Modern technology being able to beat up less-new technology is not impressive and is not related to any of the reasons that this particular technology is noteworthy or criticized
I don’t think anybody assumed present artificial intelligence couldn’t do that, or even PONDERED if it could, and that it CAN doesn’t justify its rampant undesired incursions where it doesn’t belong, much less the obscene amounts of electricity that it wastes.
What is AI doing about our present 2025 nazi problem apart from generating meme videos, self-published book covers and fake “evidence” against perceived enemies for them?

the actual article seems to be about showing how far artificial intelligence has come since its origin but as often happens, the headline makes it seem more sensational and obnoxious. Although sometimes that isn’t possible

in a different story about a totally ludicrous circumstance presented as if it is normal that i already saw being mocked before the guardian reported on it,

If it is “ai-generated” it is NOT evidence. That is called forgery. Fabrication. Fraud. It also has nothing to do with the incredibly absurd and creepy “victim impact statement” that this story is actually about, and this proves it isn’t just the headline-smith making things stupider.
I don’t understand how a legitimate newspaper can be pro-ai-generation or even neutral on the topic when that’s precisely what the right wing creeps they generally report on the flagrant immorality of want to use to put true journalists, if not all writers and artists, out of business. Though admittedly some should be easier to put out of business than others.

are you making beans on toast wrong? And also speaking IMPROPERLY? How is it even POSSIBLE to put beans on to toast and have it not be correct if any way is correct? That seems even harder to screw up than beef stew over biscuits. And if i like it that way, why is that anyone else’s business? Or news? Unless you take money to run trash stories like this? And if you do, how much are AI creeps giving you, and will it have been worth poisoning your very livelihood?

perhaps some people simply enjoy being poisoned

This made sense when i went to bed last “night” and maybe it doesn’t but I managed to dwell on something that might not make sense for less than a day which might constitute a form of progress.

i used to end up at a lot of bad local comedy shows because my brother was involved with them, and the worst comedians invariably became his close friends and also had the worst opinions. None of them have been recruited into the government as of this time but surely that is something to aim for.

then i eventually remembered that fringo and the belligerant gnomes and their preferred hang-out spot were directly inspired by having to attend those comedy/band shows and the awful people i encountered there, so i might as well have drawn fringo as the comedian here. plainly i was going for the same traits. The gnomes may have slightly elevated senses of fashion.

i don’t know if this is funny at all –possibly this video showing the individual parts used to assemble the kraft mario bros macaroni commercial accompanied by a completely deadpan voice naming each of them is funnier– and the script is so old that bob hoskins was still alive when i first wrote it, and screwing with cdi cartoons was old then, yet i still would think about this in 2025, so i had almost no choice but to deal with it

the one person i have had any comment from about this so far seems to think it is not screwy enough, perhaps needing more repetitive editing and speaker-wrecking volume. I am not looking to compete with or join with people who engage in or enjoy that. A bit later a second comment simply announced “gay” and I can’t quite manage that either. There hasn’t been a “community” yet whose rituals I was able or willing to imitate well or long enough to belong among them. As usually is the case, i just like a few specific components, in this case imitating the mario actor’s voice and stupid written correspondence, and stuck with that. i do not have any more “videos” “planned” so presumably i will find worse things to do with my time again.

another video mix of sega genesis voices and arguably relevant pictures that absolutely has a reason to exist. People kept asking me to make a video like this for dynamite headdy or sonic cd so i did it for gley lancer

i regret that i had to remove this picture. There isn’t time to read the text on it which is the main reason it is funny to me. back when the genesis fan-translation came out i had never heard of monster world 4 and i must have tried to look up information about it but it was only in japanese, and i ran this page through google translate, and fixated on “you will defend with the shield.” you WILL. you have NO CHOICE but to DEFEND with THE shield. Don’t try to get out of this responsibility

The “doodily doodily doo” came from some “sprout” machine preloaded with stupid videos produced by the same company that my niece was carrying around 7 years ago, and that i probably meant to put in a ristar-related video and then simply forgot about when I actually made a ristar video, so now it gets to make even less sense than it would have otherwise.

it is redrawn from a 2003 picture (on that page, but also immediately below on this page) which various recent circumstances of my existence unrelated to utterly unnecessary federal aviation control funding cuts made me think of.
sorting out the roofs is the hardest part. i am never quite sure what all the nonsense on roofs IS. I don’t know that I did enough to make the turbine vent stand out since it is hard to communicate how stupid those look when I can’t show it in motion, even with a bird on it.

WHAT a STUPID bird! That looks like the world’s dumbest bird. Except there are numerous videos of birds doing that and they can’t all be the single dumbest bird but they are likely in the dumbest category of birds

ideally its past appeal didn’t in part come from its cheapo 2004 pixel rendering or the absence of that obnoxious WAH creature in one of the windows. i like to imagine that knowing the building was inhabited by those makes the thought of a flaming aircraft bumping into it less worrisome

WHAT??! i REFUSE to WAIT for dopes! If they have a house, I evict them immediately, and failing that, i throw a helicopter at them. ARRRRGHF and i already wasted it on the dumb wah beasts! What a fool I’ve been! This isn’t right, having to choose between the dumbest birds teamed up with the third dumbest imps and the unquestionably dumbest imps. And with helicopter prices what they are now I can’t afford a second one.

this has not literally occurred, at least not in this exact manner, but mostly because I know people react this way and I generally do not want to make my dumb problem into someone else’s bigger problem with me, however ridiculous the thought process behind it is. i do not believe i could ever say “i have an agender identity” aloud without putting an insulting inflection on it. nonetheless that is something which i WANT to express.

This previously featured additional dialog that i worried was excessive. And so i removed it, but i still think about what i removed. i like some of the dropped poses and some of the dropped dialog isn’t even redundant with what i have put in past annoying pathetic snake comic strips.

too many dumb snake comics these days. i have let the dedicated side-site for them fall out of date again (now amended), and still without investigating the elephantitis of its navigation links (still still)

I do not think “rollercoaster” is a proper assessment; that would require going back up before going down again. Trump policy forgoes laws of physics, among others

b-b-but it could WORK!YEARS from now and only for american bilious billionaires who are already proportionately, uncomprehendably more affluent than the rest of the population compared to the wealthugs who benefat in the 1980s.
the fault (regarding this communication) might be with the headline writer. it often is. the headline implies with “it could work” that a net positive outcome is possible, whereas it merely means that those who already control pretty much everything MIGHT get to control slightly more of it.

they have no love or happiness (and possibly are quite dirty) and so only “win” by depriving others further. they can’t use what they deprive you of, but it is more important that you don’t have it.

march 31 supposedly was “trans day of visibility,” and as it usually goes I did not know there was one or that it was coming, and so was unprepared.

I also do not know if i properly qualify as “trans” but i absolutely have trans-like issues via preferring ambiguity, on account of not believing that i would be accepted as a full trans person, which a good many people and systems who don’t know me [and a few who sadly do believe that they know me would] still scorn me for, and i also hate to be seen, perhaps in large part due to those issues, so here comes this

on further reflection it isn’t all that different from this idea except i spent substantially less time drawing it and no longer share a bathroom with other people’s toothbrushes

Today’s might have communicated its message better if i showed the creature driving and going to a store to obtain the potion ingredients and emphasizing how it fares poorly when seen amidst doing that, but I have shown that before also! It didn’t communicate its point well but they never do. I would almost hate to break from tradition if I knew how.

this is just the sort of non-divisive, clear-purposed thing i need to put on my you tube page after inexplicably reaching more people than usual with the last one

unfortunately this still isn’t as funny to me as a regular insultinator but i had to see it to know.
The GALL of that DUMB little machine calling anyone else “obNOXious” makes me laugh just to think about. i tried to imitate its inflection as much as possible but it does not suit some of these words. By the end it turned into something that wasn’t quite anything, as often occurs.

An earlier version of this just showed pictures of that one person’s hand pressing the buttons and then two other dorks holding the things up while pressing buttons but i could not get a reply from one (the other had seemingly been missing for quite some time) and once i replaced that person i decided to replace all the stolen clips except for the initial one that establishes how the actual device works. i never got a reply from that person either but since I have only stolen video of his hand i am less paranoid about causing problems.
I also did not in my requests clarify that I don’t actually think these are good or valid insults. Because i thought it was obvious. Even though I consistently and constantly overestimate anyone’s ability to have any idea why I do anything. Especially just the sort of people who would think these insults were good would also think a machine which emits such insults would be good.

And stupider me, I forgot that there is an actual doom level with a large iconic object that shouts something weird then shoots out monsters that most casual players of doom would be familiar with, and I could have just pasted the insultinator graphics over that, though it wouldn’t have hitler sky visible. Ideally the hellknights’ lawyers won’t send me any threatening letters about this like the last time I deployed sky hitlers.

march seems to be unofficial pathetic snake month. which counterintuitively means the creature must fare worse than usual since its existence is dependent on it having negative experiences

as usual, based on a few different people who remind me of each other. and as usual the snake is meant to be laughed at rather than with. I thought that was obvious, but I have very little grasp on what is obvious, “obviously”

yes you must definitely click on it to get a larger version if that is desirable to you.

another item based on my experience of not feeling like i belong anywhere. I shoddily added the first “frame” after the other two when i felt like, as usual, I was failing to put forth the intended point with the initial upload, but that the layout for a change allowed me a chance to also fail at rectifying.
the POINT: is my taste too old? No, because taste older than mine is still being imposed both by the same entities who did when i was a child and also by newer ones now younger than me, and sometimes even are paid to do it. Taste is subjective and can be neither “correct” nor “wrong.”
maybe THAT should be the comic strip, but that sort of thing is not funny to me! Stern didacticism pretending to be comics is something that I make more annoyed comics about that i have to over explain afterward.

as often happens, i am not entirely sure who i am angry at. actual personal acquaintances? contemporary media saturation? magazines publishing pompous lists to proclaim that human creativity peaked six decades ago? internet dorks my age or less? but complaining, even in a way that appeals to no one, theoretically helps me be less bothered, at least for a little while.
