I am not sure how I avoided putting this picture anywhere since I used one of its counterparts ten years ago and I generally think this one is funnier.

the musicien de rock detester may not have a choice about being in such close proximity, but the television detester is deliberately standing right in front of the television. He could turn the thing off! Unless this drawing is more literal than I assumed, and this person has no arms or body and cannot move. In which event he should aim his detestment at whoever placed him there.

trump does not directly affect me much. The anti-science, anti-feminism, anti-empathy sentiment that he depended on for victory and that has frustratingly affected some people to whom I was once close was not created by him. He is an exploiter, not a creator. But in 2016 he still seemed unusual and likely to at least gut some of hypocrisy in government that didn’t directly benefit him, and by 2020 it was clear that in practice he isn’t much different from standard crooked wearers-of-suits. His regressive policies are their regressive policies. He is impervious to shame, publicly bragging about deeds that other politicians would resign to keep from going public, but he also knows that as hard as he wanted to be respected in New York, where he had his biggest, most audacious campaign event, he still didn’t win and still lost business licenses. He knows and dislikes that he is seen as a redneck president.
This friggin guy lives in essentially luxury hotels for his entire life, treats his employees like pets or worse, chums it up with literally the wealthiest person in human history, and is somehow regarded like a champion of the downtrodden, when just about nobody is more symbolically associated with trodding-down. Some people believe, without any evidence, because trump has also trained them to be anti-evidence, that he will reduce food prices. The people inflating the prices for pure profit all donated to his campaign! (probably) During my brief brush with election coverage last night I inadvertently saw some goofus in an enormous plantation house that almost certainly was built and furnished with slavery money, with a bust of Ronald Reagan behind him (similar to the television detester, except bronze) being interviewed, swelling with swill about how Trump takes down “the elites.” The only elites he took down was Rudolph Giuliani! If Hillary Clinton hadn’t run against him in 2016, Donny and Bill would probably be best buddy old pals like they were back in the Epstein days. I am not optimistic but I think there is a pretty good chance big D will slip on a banana peel down the steps of the capital building or detach his arms during a golf swing which might at least be interesting to read about.

A Kamala Harris presidency wasn’t going to improve my life, nor anyone in Gaza’s either (I voted for Jill Stein again, since in Connecticut it doesn’t make a difference), but I could have had marginally more optimism about who might not get hurt by it. I understand why they believe it. Trump says he will hurt people. He never drained “the swamp” and he never got mexico to pay for “the wall,” so he probably will continue not doing what he said he will do, but he hurts people spontaneously in the present. You can’t trust his promises, but you can’t know what he will do instead.

I recently noticed these in my house, my niece must have picked them up somewhere.

I was surprised someone finally made official Don Medusa merchandise! I see they included Skull as well. The Leeper looks a bit iffy, though.

the problem is that even an accurate leeper risks being resembled by nemitz
and the problem with nemitz, apart from the usual, is that mit is violating the 8×8 pixel tile system. Even awkwardly bunched up this is 19×36 pixels. That would require at least 15 tiles, BEFORE any animation or extra angles! Hey creature, you aren’t owed that many and the graphics bank cannot spare them for you! Not to mention this game’s lack of a red-yellow-black palette. No object in Adventures of Lolo uses those colors and they will not be set aside JUST for nemitz! Arrrgh typical decadent irregular mitz.

“the website” I kept referring to last week, furryfinity, –which I don’t like to mention by name on my own website but I am going to show pictures of other people naming it so I suspect clearing up what I am talking about may be useful– THIS week had its email addresses swiped and its domain redirected to its twitter account that had been fully compromised by some person posting alt right hogwash, arbitrary racism and illiterate meme kid garbage for a day or so while accusing others of being on the internet too much

it was called a “hack” but the dork didn’t have actual access to the site itself, just whatever could be gained by forcing through bad passwords on email accounts. Since the person hadn’t really hacked anything, eventually control was regained, and it was announced by the furryfinity owners (whose identity is yet uncertain because the previous owner is dead and no public staff list, much less line of succession, exists) like this:

Zero wing is an old corny reference but its usage indicates, even if inadvertently, that no obnoxious memester under the age of 30 is presently in command. I am sure those who criticized my illustration last week (there were a few, as usual from people I never would have heard from UNLESS I did something they didn’t like)) would point to this event and my continuing to use the website as proof that I should be more reverent of the administrators, whoever the heck they are, but really this shows how poorly they protect the website. They couldn’t get it back without waiting on the registrar. And doubtlessly neither could I in the same situation, but I am also not running a business through bimshwel.com nor begging for other people to bail out my business, so I have less obligation to the people paying me and less of a target on me for idiots committing crimes unrelated to copyright infringement for fun.
THAT site had been compromised loads of times while the previous owner lived and it still happened now that he is dead. The core data wasn’t accessed but only because the “hacker” was an idiot more interested in trying to impress users of the Kiwi Farm weirdo documentation/abuse forum (who weren’t impressed) with what he put on the twitter account and promote crypto currency scams (that nobody bought into) than doing actual damage to “the furries.”

this announcement seems to indicate that Rob Schneider was responsible. Apart from the age-related notice I just mentioned.

Several morons, two of which I literally never heard of and who don’t watch my page, tried to hijack my joke with lower effort references to more contemporarily notorious actors, then one mega moron who posted a huge what looked like a south park screenshot who i muted just to get it off my update feed, like they think I’ll thank them, delete my post, and then post their version instead with a credit or something. I prefer schneider for this since I have a longstanding disdain for his career, even before he became a republican bullet point shill. If I went with anyone else it would have been Marlon Wayans since they were both in about as many bad movies as each other amidst the same period but he hasn’t been nearly as awful otherwise.

Schneider also specifically “starred” in The Animal about a man (him) who inadvertently takes on animalistic traits and I can theoretically imagine him resenting furries for not making it as big a winner as non-existent film critic david manning proclaimed it to be. The best thing this movie did was right this moment making me remember fondly a time when artificial journalists actually got credit.

fricken and look at this picture. He looks like he should be on a bag of Hot Fries at a crummy convenience store, not enormous cinema screens. He looks like he should be doing blood-thinner commercials with Arnold Palmer except they got Kevin Nealon for that and Arnold Palmer is dead anyway. He looks like a Rankin-Bass christmas special puppet after half a century in a non-temperature-controlled storage unit. He looks like half a Dom Deluise, mass and charisma-wise.

then a day and several hours later Rob Schneider endorsed Trump for president, because obviously that is what’s going to do it, so suddenly I was informed that

it reminds of some local eminently teasable kid who became notorious after he proclaimed “YOU may have the muscles but WE have the brains!” and possibly whoever was antagonizing him thought it was so funny that there was no need to continue. Trump’s support base HAS to be a cult if they are willing to start pretending Rob Schneider has ever done anything positive and that anyone criticizing Rob is now the enemy who must be irascibly taken down. Or at least this one twit is banking on it so he might get his very first retweet. It looks like he’s been trying a while:
I don’t even know what this MEANS since I absolutely avoided knowing anything about Elon McMusky McBean or who his personal foes are before he bought a website I used, and then I continued avoiding knowing until he started trying to force all users to see his tweets, and that wasn’t enough either so he had to change its name to a tic tac toe symbol, and that still wasn’t enough because that is just stupid and anti-everything. He has almost all the money in the world and is still as emotionally needy as this rabid incel tagging him on a [oddly network-tv-censored] poll that nobody voted in.

so I wear the world’s dorkiest, conformiest sweater to balance it out

the apparent long time owner of one of the websites that I post drawings of became dead recently. immediately afterward word spread seeking to hold him up as a singular creator and savior of that website and by extension all furry-dom, even though mild investigation reveals he did not create the site, gave preferential treatment to zoophiliasts and [accused] rapists, and did not spend money particularly well. a fundraiser was quickly started ostensibly to pay off his medical bills and look after his mother but was largely concerned with covering the website’s substantial, and often suspicious expenses. it became more suspicious when a day after nearly doubling the requested amount of $75000, the fundraiser jumped to over $200,000. the person running the fundraisers was a former spouse of the deceased owner, known to have cheated on him with other parties and for starting numerous fundraisers to cover her own personal expenses. And then once this is paid, by community members, will they have communal ownership of the website? Probably not!

All this “evidence” of trickery is circumstantial but nonetheless it led to me creating this image. the site’s owner willfully used a character similar in appearance to the crucified one here as a self representation on the internet, and it even appears on the fundraiser page. curiously its official reference depicts it as muscular but the owner and especially his sycophants seemed ultimately to prefer the morbidly, ironically obsese version. The atrocious american medical system is frequently blamed for not prolonging the man’s life as it should have, but unfortnately his own habits, encouraged by those sycophants and possibly his own roommates, most certainly exacerbated the severity of those medical issues.

I didn’t personally know the person; I saw him from across a room once in 2012 and didn’t think I had any reason to try and get his attention. Prior to his demise I never observed anyone I knew have anything positive to say about him, though I probably haven’t dealt with any of them since 2012 either.

at first I used a generic central character, thinking it was in bad taste to use the dead mans’ real character, but the whole thing is in bad taste and the character itself isn’t real so I ought to commit to it.

If I had thought it through better I might have had the reptilian facing the other way, both so that the carpenter would be nailing in the correct direction and so an additional character could be shoving a hamburger into the reptilian’s mouth, though that might have needlessly confounded the issue. That seems like I’m saying “boy he SHORE was fat!” rather than “you fetishists encouraged this man to endanger his health just because you get off on it.” And that isn’t even necessarily fair since they got off on the character being fat, not the man himself. As far as I [want to] know.

I included loose depictions of the website’s official mascot and official unofficial mascot as if to blame the website itself rather than real people. Although sometimes I feel like nobody I read about in association with these things is real.

to be used prior to or amidst the energy launching frames shown here. alas this might also require some bits to be separate objects since blatantly the sparky bits that trail off do so for more than four frames. but mercifully that isn’t a decision that is harder to implement if I wait to see how necessary it is.

also some relatively non-silly trees from a location that this monster probably is not to be found in. Although probably more because there are dopes about than because there isn’t water.

whewish! It sure is good to know that no police were injured when they casually executed someone for being homeless, owning a knife and acknowledging their presence while pope fascist, o he of the bandaged ear, was in town.

people have been threatened, banned from websites and terminated from their jobs already for making light of the trump shooting, largely by self-described advocates of “free speech” who openly endorse the murder of immigrants, and probably homeless people also, if not through bullets than through public policy that deliberately harms them. It is socially acceptable to joke about Trump dying but it has to be from natural circumstances like choking on a pretzel or getting shot accidentally by the vice president while hunting for tiny little birds.

I personally favor him getting hit in the head by an errant golf ball or suffering an allergic reaction to the peanut butter he gets rolled in every morning. It is very hard to blame that on “The Left” except as a description of a relative point in space and frame Trump’s receipt in a heroic light. That won’t kill the willfully stupid movement that he appropriated into his political viability but no one in his sycophant army has successfully made such a lifestyle out of overtly avoiding accountability. Some of have tried, and a bunch of them were eventually sent to prison or placed under court orders. People are willing to believe that God personally intervened and stopped Trump from getting killed. They wouldn’t believe that about friggin Giuliani. For “his” part God apparently didn’t care if innocent audience members got killed or injured, nor was willing to suggest to the assailant to NOT buy a gun, climb on a roof and fire into a crowded venue, or maybe even just transform the gun into pudding. Believing in divine intervention, this or any time, only makes sense if you believe that God is an erratic spiteful jerk, which admittedly is consistent with scripture, but if that is the case God doesn’t care about your devotion either and will gladly throw a tornado at you just because he came in under budget this quarter and needed to spend the surplus to avoid cuts.

an alternative suggestion: God exists, and he’s American. And blue and naked.

and we all know how that turns out. Thankfully HBO’s newer management doesn’t like cartoons and will not be making a television series following up on this.

I thought I was done but the creepy oddly-shaded weird-eyed trump picture kept reminding me of someone and I couldn’t quite determine who. I now think it might be the character Colossus from Goblins 3 who manages to knock himself out by sneezing so hard he hits his head on what I always in the past interpreted to be his boots but I think now is meant to be the metallic control-box beside his hammock. I made this terrible gif out of screenshots I took 14 years ago, presumably knowing I would eventually find a weird public event to display them in the context of. I presume Colossus survives but if Trump sneezed so hard that he passed out repeatedly that might prevent him from issuing regressive policies. Much has been made of the vengeance Trump has vowed to issue in a second term, but he also said he would “drain the swamp” and get Mexico to pay for the wall meant to block itself in, and neither of those happened. Really, nobody knows what he will do. He doesn’t even know. Maybe he will build a wall around the swamp.

lerd again, this time to amend its aggressive motions.
oh boats; my most recent edits to angle 2 fixed some unusual erratic movements but I realized afterward that i was meant to leave those movements in place and just draw them better, to imitate the lunge of angle 3. whoopth. i may have to put them in as they are and see which looks less awkward to decide which to change to match the other. or just leave them alone since nobody who isn’t me could possibly care.
////////////////////////
i like blue electricity better but i do not want to use the same palette section as the tail segment, EVEN though I will probably need that split off into separate object(s) like with the move around frames. I would prefer to set all color changes on the main object (the lerd’s body) since additional objects created by it (such as its projectiles and its trail of body parts) can inherit its color swap settings, and thus i will only need to designate one color change for each base lerd type. I need at least two lerd types; one that crawls on land and one that hides underwater and jumps out like a seaworld captive to throw abuse and then promptly resubmerges. And later a third that, more like a Hexen stoker,

never leaves liquid and uses a more powerful attack that also doesn’t, since I presently don’t know a way to have a creature check what sort of floor it is on before attacking, but i CAN set a creature to not leave the floor it is on. It is probably possible to issue a floor-check command but it isn’t necessarily necessary that I know how to do that at this juncture since I don’t even have the main two that I DO know how to make implemented yet. And then like with the jumping fyip I will probably come up with a buggy half functional way of doing it, then ask for help on the zdoom forum and get an embarrassingly more efficient way that actually works explained to me by someone else, assuming north america hasn’t melted into the sea by the time I get around to that.

historically it has been able to launch two wimpy projectiles from its hands on that “ball” frame. It would also, and still does, throw a single larger shot when it crosses the arms. throwing magic out of your hands or mouth is not original, but from head protrusions is less common. i decided thus that i should have the twin shots launch directly from the electric appendages (using additional frames that are yet less complete than these) rather than the hands. Arms needing to cross in order to launch a blast is also unusual so I kept that. it is still dumb old doom engine which is inherently limited to stuff that has since been done in thousands of other games but i aim to do my best with the fate i have set for me. even if it kills me, though i won’t know if it has done that until probably right before it does.

also i call the hexen stalkers “stoker” after how kan naito pronounces “land stalker,” because I think dumb things are funny. and more recently after how the 1999 playstation port of final fantasy 5 supposedly refers to the wendigo monster, because this wiki proclaiming that fails to explain that stoker means stalker, not wendigo, since the later localizers opted to change the name entirely rather than correct the silly romanization of the original name that was simply a Japanification of an english word.

but admittedly it is easy, 25 years later, to look back and say OBVIOUSLY this naked blue horned steroid man with a club is too busy jumping stupidly and tickling his arms to waste time wendigoing about stoking, and I envy the optimistic ignorance of those days somewhat.

of course he was. they didn’t have cars back then.

but in all seriousness you’re telling me this guy doesn’t take guns on film sets seriously?

I think I made this “joke” a long time ago but I can’t find evidence. I realized I should do it here because just as many people care about my non-drawings here as on twitter but at least I can locate these later and don’t risk alienating people who might want to not pay me to draw embarrassing animal people cartoon drawings later.

instead I found this older gripe about people jumping on the opportunity to mock the topic not because an innocent person was killed due to the negligence and possible arrogance of multiple parties but because the actor involved made fun of their favorite treasonous rapist felon amidst a totally different project. Surprisingly none of them came looking for me (as we have established that this post is findable) to say “What about crooked Shillary Clinton? What about Bengazi? What about Ben gay grooming Our Kids? What ever happened to the other four Ben Folds Five? Think about it.”

and it reminded me that I have a reason to not like matthew broderick apart from my simply not liking him. Not that the killing was deliberate but it was negligent and he never did anything to raise awareness about shoddy driving and presumably never shared any of the millions of dollars he has accrued for being non-lethally-insufferable with the people he affected with the shoddiness of his driving. And indeed Baldwin has inexplicably continued to get hired for non-job jobs since he accidentally man-slaughtered a woman. Gosh consider that he should have already been in prison just for letting Boss Baby happen.

a recurring and stupid problem.
this is not the new comic strip page that I threatened last time! That is complicated. It will be better than this. Still probably underwhelming. But building it is complicated.

I read too much weird garbage about people who I do not understand

i inadvertently rather like the little red-cloaked creature

sorry and life, “rivals edition.” or “selling same bad old game at same price but with less stuff in the box edition.”

games like this are already extra stressful and boring when played with fewer people, particularly if one of them is a small child who can feel particularly targeted in a game like “sorry” where the primary choice a player ever encounters is “which other player’s piece do i banish from the board,” and I can’t exactly fathom adults in 2024 playing this game otherwise, unless they are using such mind-altering substances that ANY bad game would entertain them as much, why emphasize that? the same reason as always, to make more money for less value at the expense of non-cheaters.

monopoly cheaters edition. regular monopoly is already cheaters edition. i suppose this is a millennial-targeted concept. we can’t put a joke in a movie without some character or the background music pointing out that it is a joke, probably while saying “dude,” so we can’t cheat without pointing out that we’re cheating either. dude. I just took $500 when i wasn’t supposed to because the rules said i was supposed to. I do appreciate not swapping out the 19th century tycoon character Uncle Pennybags with another figure Hasbro determined less in need of having its image protected, as historically prior to the modern era of near-trillionaires and companies like hasbro trying to replace artists with robots trained to copy artists, nobody cheated more prolifically than Pennybags’ monopilkmen.

Although it is arguable whether the decision to replace his dot eyes with detailed retina-iris-pupil eyes while still leaving his hairless plastic mustache, nostrilless nose and nailless fingers was intended to make him creepier.
also observe the $35 price label; this costs more than twice as much as regular monopoly! Hasbro cheats consumers in exchange for the right to perpetuate cheatitude with only themselves as victims.

in fact there is a “bonus” version that costs nearly double that apparently just gets extra money and tokens. or you can buy a cheap regular or cheaper used monopoly game, assuming you don’t already have one in your house, and plunder resources from that. And you’ll STILL in the end just have a depressing board game that is too complicated if played properly according to the rules, much less cheated properly according to the rules, for the target audience to have any fun with.

ALSO:

it felt improper to accuse the sorry rivals edition of costing the same as the regular game. i looked it up on amazon and found that selling regular sorry for one dollar LESS than the real store.

with even creepier eyes.
but more alarming, an ADDITIONAL “rivals edition” of monopoly. which admittedly DOES cost less than the regular monopoly than the regular monopoly on amazon, but only by one dollar. Additionally amazon is an even wickeder company than hasbro and has much bigger-picture access to ripoff victims than relatively well-off american consumers.

if these people have such empty lives that they buy every version of monopoly and obsessively “vote” on the few unnecessary changes hasbro allows to be voted on, including to revert previous vote-changes, despite hasbro ALSO selling

and charging double for “vintage” versions that presumably don’t have those changes taken into account to begin with, except subtler ones that buyers aren’t told about for the sake of political correctness and the latest corporate ownership labeling, content nobody cares about the irony of Monopoly producer Parker Brothers and its biggest competitor Milton Bradley now being owned and disacknowledged by the same larger company but it ultimately doesn’t matter because it’s dumb old MONOPOLY and if you REALLy want to play an unchanged old version you can probably get one for $2 at a local yard sale, maybe they deserve to have empty bank accounts too.

if anything else happened it probably was not important.

in its 1993 release Liberty or Death, the computer game company Koei recognized that preserving the essence of Banastre Tarleton’s stupid hat was a crucial priority, above even getting his nose and eyebrows correct.

Why is this no longer deemed important three decades later? What were our founding fathers and uncovering uncles fighting for if not freedom from foolish haberdashery? I bet kids these days aren’t even taught that Benedict Arnold switched sides exclusively so he could wear a sillier uniform. I also wasn’t taught that but I was in special education so I wasn’t taught anything else either

apart from “the length of this bus puts you at the bottom of even the dumbest and wimpiest of adult baby social hierarchies for the rest of your life,” which is what made it so important for me to determine the facts on my own.

I got/was allowed to get this cereal one time. I remember not being able to tell the difference between the two sides. Even description-wise I am not totally certain how berry isn’t fruity. Maybe it is just describing mario’s pose.

What I did not know until now was that it had multiple box designs. I wonder what is going on with the weird KICKING Link figure which Ralston kept recycling; it shows much less awareness of what link looks like in-game, or in anywhere, than the first box’s. The geru serpent and scenery in the zelda 2 boxes are accurate, and presumably weren’t part of the original plan, so why didn’t they draw a new Link, too?
only one of the marios is recycled.

i notice the marios somewhat resemble the ones from the “super mario world” bootleg of a bootleg sega genesis “super mario world,” possibly due to their consistent lack of necks

There isn’t anything to retroactively explain this link, though. In breath of the wild he can do all sorts of things he couldn’t in the past but kicking still isn’t among them. Is he auditioning to be a rockette? He would never pass the rigorous auditions, isn’t tall enough anyway, and he’d probably get better pay continuing to scavenge for rupees people dropped in tall grass. Maybe he accidentally glued his boot to his shield. Which would be pretty pathetic. I assume considering that and weeping is what Tears of the Kingdom is about.

I am fascinated by Earnest Evans. I have been on the internet so long that I have developed aversions to other people’s hive mentality about what “retro” games are “good” and “not good” and worth hoarding the original ephemera for and trying to impress your grandchildren with.
or even simply stating awareness of an old game as a point of your religion,

and it wears on me beyond reason.
Evans is hilarious to me, but since I never knew of it before I saw internet folk mocking it, I have worried that me thinking it was funny was inorganic to me and hypocritical, since I find their cycles of praise and mockery equivalent to what the previous generation of media did with the likes of britney spears.
However basic taste isn’t necessarily any individual’s fault. And also the judgement toward me tends to not be as harsh as my judgement toward others or myself, because while a lot of people think dumb things are important I generally think different dumb things are important.



However I refreshed myself with it and despite its interesting programming it still feels fairly irredeemable. Even save state cheating I apparently couldn’t get anywhere years ago, and trying it now* I still couldn’t.
*in september
but the important thing is I had an excuse to post that image I started with and also this stupid gif, since initially I made it after dwelling on my declaration of evans as “horrible” in response to arguably more worthless content on the twittor website. I give far too much effort to the crafting of remarks and imagery that nobody will see on there. I would much rather nobody see it here, where I can actually find it later.

And where I don’t risk losing followers for saying “obsequious mario fans aren’t just scum but also extremely boring” because the I don’t have followers here, and in fact the concept doesn’t even exist. But the real question, is it possible to be an obsequious fan of anything without also being scum and boring? probably not but that is what I get videos shoved at me about, generally. I should be glad their idiot fandom economy is largely created by them rather than the entirely corporate papacy that exploits obsequious american football fans or the crypto currency criminal pseudo-psience-pselling aspiring murderers who exploit obsequious mixed martial arts fans, but I don’t know any of them on twitter now that my brother is banned again. He also moved into my basement yesterday so I suppose I will know if he sees this.
