thankfully the purplish idiot is significantly easier to animate than the yellow one. I didn’t bother yet to include it in the previous similar updates but since it invades the yellow one’s personal space it is necessary to detail it to some degree and this just looked bad with only those parts filled in.
as before, this audio will likely be replaced. the small thing ended up having sillier, more pathetic movements here and later than I initially “planned,” since I hardly plan anything at all, and a meeplier voice may be in order.

now I need to prepare for the “art show” in october. relative to past years, I learned this week that I will supposedly only have 8 by 8 feet and far fewer neighbors, no opportunity to set up the space prior to the exhibition date, if I am even permitted to preview the space in advance, if I am even permitted to know where it is, and so my preferred tactic of overwhelming with quantity, to distract from my general lack of completed, appealing, cohesive or marketable work will not be possible. I had been rushing (if two weeks to draw six seconds qualifies as rushing) to improve the scrappy beet cartoon with the perhaps irrational expectation that I would be able to exhibit it like previously, which would have been extra important since I won’t have a new comic book, and I shall have neither. So I must determine what both can be had and what would be beneficial to have.

addendoy: I obviously have not done much casual thinking about measurements lately; 8 feet is actually twice as long as I was imagining it was, and 8×8 is comparable to what I had in 2019, though setting up, exhibiting, and setting down in one session is still an inconceivable effort unless I scale back my expectations.
