page 3-55 of the bimshwellian comic strip. Possibly design elements of the background and the strangely attired character in two frames will be revised on a future occasion but for now I can’t figure out what their problems are.
welcome to denver
I didn’t even know about these, I just now looked up “drunk airline passenger,” wondering if it supported my taking issue with the amount of alcohol ads in the airport, and found this many from within a month. If I worked on an airplane I would be furious to walk through the airport and see so much encouragement for passengers to blotto up prior to boarding. You can as well purchase alcohol on the airplane but the flight staff will have more direct awareness of who is getting it and how much, and people STILL get drunk off of that. And I have to think most of the time these incidents aren’t widely reported on or the drunk people quite insufferable enough to get the flight diverted. For example, on the flight which followed my seeing these a passenger near me ordered at least two little vodka bottles and got way too into family feud on the little television screen his seat forced him to look at. I was not HARMED by this but it sure was depressing. Although this makes me consider how many of the crummy movies advertised on these screens think they are being funny and I didn’t hear a single laugh that whole flight except after a baby started imitating
the trash-collecting flight attendant’s bored, droning calls of “traash… diggity traash…” while proceeding to the rear of the vessel. I missed the prime example but did manage to preserve the primary trash.
People watch bad tv and crummy movies on the screens because the screens are THERE but they don’t care. Or otherwise simply endure the screens’ presence because they have resigned themselves to sad choicelessness, and maybe that is a deliberate system to keep them paying for expensive expired poison and drinking it until they pass out or clobber someone. I should be GLAD this dork enjoyed families feuding so much and without hurting anyone else, except possibly my mother who had this guy’s seat reclined into hers from the beginning and occasionally bouncing around. But I’m not because it isn’t good, it is simply bad in a different way.
this isn’t selling beer but clearly every person involved with conceiving and producing it was inebriated, mentally challenged or both. You can’t just put the word “flight” any old place and have it work as a clever or even hacky pun. You might as well say racquetball of sausage or agatha of polenta. Also according to their website those three little pancakes cost $12.25 altogether, and the ones at the airport location definitely cost more than that. Or maybe they were only permitted to set up inside the airport because they were selling little pancakes for four dollars each.
And I know they are little because a plate shaped like a banana wouldn’t fit on their awkward circular tables unless it was of underwhelming proportions.
I’m kidding I have proof that the corned beef hash I ordered for $13.75 costs more than their website says it does, another $12.25, and twice as much as the local diner whose hash that was only as good as charges so the pancakes probably go similarly but I am tired of posting pictures of sad expensive places I didn’t want to be at.
A strange vision from my child-era that returns too often, in the Police Academy cartoon series, which existed, at one point the weapon-enthusiast Tackle Berry participates in a typical mishap and gets a toilet plunger stuck over his mouth, preventing him from explaining the incident
n the next scene he was alone in a dungeon, just wearing underwear, possibly the only time he ever appears sunglassless, with a dorky smile, talking to a rat, and there the vision ends. I had NO CLUE then why imprisonment and your clothing confiscated was appropriate punishment for getting a plunger stuck on your mouth, and I still don’t, but it left in me a lingering fear of irrationally humiliating punitive measures
And I FOUND the episode, and the moment I remembered, but only dubbed into Ukrainian! So I can SEE what happens but not grasp the context, though I may possibly prefer this to the original audio otherwise.
It seems as if the evil special guest police-academite’s master plan is to shoot Tackle-BARRRY, as he pronounces it, with a plunger-launcher, and the good terrible cops arrive to try to prevent it from happening, and once it does happen they give up attempting to help, as if not having a plunger on his face was Barry’s only claim to freedom.
It does reveal that Tackleberry is offscreen placed into a cage on a pickup truck, after being plungered, but still has the plunger while in the cage, plus handcuffs, outside the bars, which meant he was in the cage and no longer a threat before he was cuffed, and therefore probably wasn’t a threat to begin with, and isn’t wearing a police uniform, so there isn’t official regalia to strip him of before sending him to prison
possibly to hell, if this frightful pointy-edged dog-nosed micro demonspawn is any indication, and therefore there is NO reason for his clothes to be off. It makes even LESS sense than my memory! As this video was uploaded in January 2020, I am surprised Vladimir Putin didn’t cite Ukrainian possession of bio-suction based armaments that incapacitate peace-keeping forces, remove their clothes and eventually cast them into the realm of eternal torment when justifying the Russian invasion this year.
The more I review and think about the footage the more it looks like Tackleberry is imprisoned, potentially damned, exclusively because of the plunger. Or worse, because his comrades couldn’t pull the plunger off his mouth. I don’t know why that’s a crime but it isn’t even his fault! Meepwhile nobody is shown escorting him off the roof or putting him in the cage, and the ones who failed to remove the plunger just watch him get driven away in the truck cage. I am left to think they caged Berry themselves after realizing they couldn’t remove the plunger and risked similar measures for continued defiance. But once Berry is in the dungeon with his unholy familiar the plunger is gone and he seems much more content. Maybe it is an enchanted plunger that cannot be removed unless your clothes come off with it. I am really not getting the closure I wanted on this.
Additionally, mostly unrelated, I can see in the little preview, and am un-inclined to view full size, BIG dollar-sign-symbol cash sacks but in at least one shot the animators casually mirrored one. It isn’t a photography error, like the cels were wrong-side-up, or a region-specific matter, like DiC inverting shots of school bus doors in Sailor Moon, since the other $ is normal. It just means the key animators at the east Asian animation studio that would have done most of the work on a show like this weren’t familiar enough with dollar signs to see when one was flagrantly incorrect, and the grunt animators who had to draw all the individual frames and color them in weren’t paid enough to point out a problem like that in the event any of them noticed. In fact the employees who change the signs at the New Haven Connecticut Popeyes and Walgreens can’t even be trusted to put the dollar sign up forwards 100% of the time. It just is not a priority for a lot of people.
I can’t find/am afraid to find photographic evidence, but here is a 2013 dairy queen sign with a backwards N. Not only that, the Ks are upside-down. I can’t believe I don’t have friends with my superhuman powers of fault-finding.
according to my file names , this is the other side of the sign, with the same backwards N! And YOU might say this is more than likely the same side of the sign, so I shall point out that the B is ALSO upside down, but only on ONE side!
ha ha HA! Ha, ha ha HA, ha HA ha, hee ho heh.
Getting back to the main digression, I do not believe the surprise backwards S front and center on a television screen is what traumatized me into fearing the shape and being wary of non-backwards S-es with certain types of curvature and thickness, else that would be what I remember.
It was often hard to track specifics of thin moving shapes like that on blurry cathode ray screens, at least for me, which is why I never noticed the one Whirlwind carries around when running to the right and THROWS at the heroes as a weapon in Captain America and the Avengers even though I played that game every time I saw it, and that was released three years after the Police Academy cartoon supposedly started airing, and hopefully also after it had stopped airing. In fact I never noticed until today that Whirwind isn’t even really carrying the bag so much as having it glued to one of his fists. The backwards bags in the cartoon were bigger but I probably didn’t have cable at the time and potentially saw it with staticy signal distortion over it. This is important.
some things are more important, though.
most definitely you will need to click-enlarge this picture for the text to be legible, in the event you seem that desirable.
I am uncertain if this expresses the precise sentiment that I intend it to but surely it expresses something.
internet art sorts several steps up the social fire-escape from myself seem to try and use art-fight just to get fan-tributes to themselves that they have no intention of “revenge”ing upon and I also have a problem with that but it can’t effectively go in the same comic strip by someone who writes as many words as I do.
less than stellar music with no video
because I spent so much time endlessly optimizing and getting stuck redrawing bits that I previously didn’t realize were terribly drawn of the sprites that struggled to show up in the less than stellar video with no music that I posted last week, in a sadly desperate attempt to make them load faster because I am in that far too deep to re-do them all [again] but slightly smaller, that this is the only moderately interesting thing I have done since then that isn’t just something I already did.
I still write complaints, but mostly in scraps on twitter that I don’t have the presence of mind to reformulate into paragraphs. I really don’t know WHY I do it there because it puts off people who just want to look at my drawings, and they greatly exceed the number who have any interest at all in me as a human being with thoughts. But I also might resent that as if I am entitled to have an audience and so continue to dump thoughts out of spite.
but this here is an example of the sort of “tunes” that come to me now: mostly fragments of several notes that only just barely form a cohesive structure. The reason I couldn’t get along with people who praise the music for zelda 64, when I recognized it to be mostly dumb little 3-to-8 note ditties stuck together, when it had music at all. Thankfully I do not require anybody else to replicate those 3-to-8 notes and then hear them additional times in order to progress, and constantly. This sticking-together here in its present form comes to about 40 seconds, followed by the actual voice recording that I made the morning of June 30 to give myself a sense of what the tune sounded like for a hypothetical point in the future when I might feel compelled and also have time to run the composition software, which turned out to be the same day AND it doesn’t sound like anything at all, but I committed to it anyway since I put the notes on the grid one bit at a time and so was partway in before realizing it didn’t work. As always.
I have yet to listen to a majority of those voice recordings, of which there are HUNDREDS, and I worry that a majority of them are also like this. Because the tunes come to me while I am sleeping or attempting to, and then I attempt to replicate them with the dumb mobile that I keep in my bed before I forget, but my partially asleep mind does not always realize what music sounds like, or remember it even long to imitate it. and that is evidently important enough to me to risk a shortened life expectancy due to radiation poisonining from keeping a tiny computer that never turns off several feet from my brain for however many hours, and then only a few feet further away every remaining hour. AND sometimes hearing the noise come out from my mouth causes the notes I just heard to overwrite the ones after it that I theretofore had only imagined, making it impossible to complete accurately anyway.
this is a common occurrence. These are just the ones where I spelled “forgot” close enough to correctly that it showed up on a search for “forg”; I lack adequate control of the dumb phone keyboard to spell words properly consistently and until this point when I am searching them for a specific letter combination I had no incentive to take the extra effort to sort that out. Keep in mind that quite often my intention is to go back to sleep or go into it to begin with so I do not want to be forcing a more alert state.
