I received a FOURTH bit of mail for pennsylvania after posting this but it essentially remixed the previous one, with the ballot request, so it isn’t worth showing a picture of but it reminds me that this america pac has lost loads of money by paying employees who don’t care and thus are doing their “job” as shoddily and quickly as possible. The article is about that affecting “swing states” but even in the states that don’t really matter they are doing it and doing it unwell.
/////////////////////

this feels somewhat redundant given my last horde of snake comic strips, and maybe it isn’t fair either since idiotic political sentiment is largely manufactured at or near the top and directed downward with the intent of setting common folk against each other instead of recognizing what their actual problems are. However I also encounter more of this than ever before, dumber and more aggressive than ever before, and do not know what productive I really can do about it, hence perpetual gripage. This is the last such thing I have, however. for now.
Although I encountered that WPWW “white pride world wide” symbol on a school bus back when I was tennish years old, the kid who wrote it probably still believes in that and no longer considers it such a fringe viewpoint that it needs to be secretly scribbled in places where hardly anyone will see it.

this is on the same street where my home is. Not in Texas or Florida, but Connecticut. I do not know if “you can’t fix stupid” is official campaign signage or something that the erector purchased, but either way it is screwed up and the fact that I cannot tell if this isn’t official signage, because Trump’s official platform is abuse, and that APPEALS to or fails to alarm a significant portion of the populace, is even more screwed up.

the message is a bit more coherent from this angle, but just as likely to do any good.

I cannot fathom somebody scanning this on purpose.

That was two weeks ago, as I am writing this. More recently, on October 14,

I have had difficulty believing Rob Bresnahan will put Pennsylvania workers first

when this message is being directed at Connecticut [or current] residents

less than a week later, october 20:

there has been some unorthodox campaigning this season but reverse psychology is a new one to me. i alone have the power to keep trump from being elected merely by not voting.

This is printed on the reverse side, with stuff to fill out between them. Perhaps not terribly surprising the Trump mail also believes unregistered Pennsylvania voters are hiding out under pseudonyms at my home in Connecticut.

This is sent from “america pac” which Elon Frippindrippin Musk paid for, but the other one is from “congressional leadership fund” so the information placing Clinton Connecticut inside Pennsylvania was wrong prior to that particular wealthy creepadoodle’s gang getting involved.

October 24, yet more Pennsylvania mail. All this fuss about democrats conspiring to commit voter fraud, but I have never had them asking me to vote for them from out of state.

On DAY ONE Rob Bresnahan is going to drive 31 hours (33 if he goes the scenic route) to Mexico- officially it will be day two by the time he gets there but regardless he will personally duct tape The Border shut. Assuming he doesn’t mean Canada, or even New Jersey; no border was specified

for a bit of variety, my sister, also in Connecticut, has been urged to vote for Chad “Yes my name is really” Bobo in Tennessee.

and goop gorpity don’t ever say The Media only covers embarrassing stories about republicans. Maybe they don’t even think this is embarrassing.

I don’t understand the significance of being a “music fan.” I think there are very few people who outwardly HATE music, just in general. Obama just happens to be a name-dropping and hob-nobbing fan. This is the same kind of garbage that preceded the 2016 election. All the socially correct celebrities palled around together and talked about shattering the “glass ceiling” with the first woman president and then an old rapist white guy got elected instead. wealthy leftwing hubris right before an election puts off undecided voters. I don’t understand why wealthy rightwing hubris the other 90% of the time appeals to them but I don’t know how somebody can possibly be “undecided” about Trump in 2024 either and that is just the bag of doughnuts we have been dealt. I suppose the idea is to reach the thoroughly decided but apathetic potential voters, but that’s still depressing, that the election depends on fickle idiots either way. Is it because of the fickle idiot candidates or the reason we get them?

I prefer Harris to Trump, but it doesn’t fill me with euphoria to think about –neither of them is going to stand up to Benny Netanyahu– or an urge to smugly toss out “better luck next time, righties” sort of statements. I want the entire abusive oafy system of attitudes to lose this election, and I had that sentiment even before a few kiwisharecroppers had a bone to pick with me.

Of course if casual voters think their “side” has already lost then they won’t bother, but if they think it’s a done deal months before and all the celebrity television pushes this story they also won’t vote, but those who RESENT that will, which is why Hillary Clinton didn’t win.

Barack Obama also had that sort of mega media push but he went against Mitten Romney and party-poisoned John McCain, who were still running conventional campaigns which hadn’t figured out how to tap into the nihilistic mutant memester demographic. Sarah Palin had a Trumpesque snark to clue ratio but fundamentally didn’t want poor people and immigrants to die hard enough. She was too busy making sure animals were dead.

a number of these headlines specifically name stephen colbert, which isn’t anything new but it still bothers me since I remember a time when I thought he was the most progressive, anti-complacency figure on television. But that was a “character,” I suppose. the “real” one easily drifts into pandery smirky shill mode, which is exactly how terrible right wing comedians operate, and it reinforces the concept of “both sides” and “they’re just as bad!” like elections are a game that it doesn’t matter who wins. Even in a contest of low standards vs no standards the outcome very much matters. And that was from July!

in october he met and product placed with Harris on television and I was too numb to even bother taking a proper screenshot of the news headline for some reason telling me that this occurred. I have momentarily regained sensation in my indignation but not I am annoyed that the guardian’s built in search box just forwards to fricken google which I have a largely unrelated gripe pile about. I have plenty of resentment but perhaps not the time and energy to finish both of these, but at least the president we almost sort of get a choice about. Nobody has to vote for google for it to be in charge of our wrongs and our rights.

a commission drawing for Draco Nihil. the task was to recreate something like an unused box art design for the video game “doom 64” with characters that are more reminiscent of mortimewde stapleton meepmire, nemitz, elpse and a dope. this has no relation or compatibility with my gzdoom matter.

i can say i understand why that box art was unused, but not why somebody would want to pay for such a substitute to be produced. nonetheless someone did and now it is your problem
i am far from an expert on the matter but i suspect the original artist invented many of the muscles whose details i have attempted to replicate here

thinking about this brought me back to the “40 worst rob liefeld drawings” page which i apparently have looked at before since I recognize more of them than I should, but last time I wasn’t aware of elon musk and was fascinated this time to see how many liefeld characters seem to have his same tight squinty botoxy face

gosh i didn’t even KNOW he actually had botox. i just thought: this looks like someone who has something wrong with his face that is probably his own fault because he has enough money to buy luxembourg. How does anyone have sympathy enough for this scumheap to interview him about being disliked for doing shallow things to try and make people dislike him less?

elon musk is a lot like rob liefeld himself in that both were talked about around me for years without me having any reason to know or care who they were but they eventually became my problem anyway. I suppose I should be glad to share that problem with more people than dopes and eight squared.

as usual I must warn you that clicking on this will lead to a bigger version on which the text may be legible.

back in august I mentioned a “documentation/abuse forum.” some time after that I posted a comic strip without an explanation. It was MOSTLY inspired by the same thing as this one, then I built the rest around my frustration with that. I wanted to stop thinking about it but I still did and then this one came about, which is more direct, though still possibly hard to understand. I cannot explain it concisely, either. Even trying to explain why I can’t explain it concisely isn’t concise, so maybe I will try again later. Or ideally I will forget about it this time.

october 28 2024 addendumb: It has come to my attention that the person this was mostly about was banned from that forum over attempts to photographically prove its own biological womanhood to other users several days after I posted this, but presumably utterly unrelated to my having posted it since no one legitimately perceived me a target who deserved to be stalked at length, just abused for a few moments and tossed away. But for all the ungrounded garbage written about me, I was never actually kicked out of that septic tank! I could still go back if I wanted to! But why? They ban the people who most fully embody their own spirit of hateful pettiness. Who can you trust if not the ones as evil as you are? Not only is it a nest of voyeurs and vipers, the vipers are cannibals.

^{I suspect i used that “title” line already but if I did it was before 2006 and who cares if I don’t?}

flopping lerd. compare to

the old version from 2003 that I only drew quickly from the front and never gave further thought to.

for as big a time destroyer as this was, i rather like some of the results, including the facing away angle (the lower right sequence here), which i almost never like. Its arms seem to diminish at the end since wide “corpses” never work very well, especially ones that spin as you move around them.
hopefully the hardest step of this deceptively difficult to draw monster is concluded with these. obviously I will still touch it up at length after separating it into separate pieces for each angle and will probably have to separate the bodies from the tails again, and an additional frame between the first and second ones may need to be created, but unless I have forgotten something, which I quite well have, this is the hardest part of the most complicated legacy monster redraw sequence concluded. I still have yet to redraw any of the “spof” monster because I never definitively concluded what it should look like rather than nemitz, but its own defeat merely involves it falling over sideways. its gruesome “explode” destruction is more complicated but i spared myself from multi-angling any monster explode or melt animations so far, so my obsessive compulsion will likely not force me to think I have to start then, if I even think that monster is necessary.
it occurred to me that dopes, meant to be the primary figures, do not have any non-melt, non-explode decimations, nor do fopes or yiths, and I do not at present think they need any. Why did I think this thing did?
also I seem not to have designated a website entry about the fope melting or apparently anything do to with fope but it does melt.
