i do not remember clearly but evidence seems to suggest that i used the word sequence “as more time elapses” and thought elapses looked like elpses and so i drew one and then more time elpses.

the main problem with this is that elpse is acting like nemitz usually does in these pictures, coveting or presenting something stupid while smiling at someone, usually me, who has no need for it. Does that one at the lower left REALLY think that *I* think that *IT* invented clocks? I am NOT fooled! And gork that clock is so huge and awkwardly labeled that inventing it specifically is nothing to seek praise over! Truly unfortunate that the most reliable way I can think of to prevent time elpse from smiling is to introduce a time dope, but then that would become MY problem as well.

the robot variant seems to have first appeared, though not necessarily exhibited anywhere, in 2010ish after I encountered this web page while seeking, I can only surmise, bootlegged elpse content. I have no recollection of drawing it but it showed up when I sought out the sketch for the more recent time elpse event. Thankfully due to having animal-style digitigrade feet, elpse’s legs cannot accommodate boots. I did once draw, on paper, an elpse standing, possibly in a pose like the one with the clock here, beside an enormous boot, while a rotund business person offers “I would buy your big boot” and the elpse simply says “NFS” with a BIG smile, arrogantly assuming that people who aren’t on the internet know that NFS means “not for sale,” and it is extremely stupid but fortunately I do not have a way of text-searching old sketch books so that picture will probably never show up here. for rootbie’s sake, elpse, NOBODY is ever going to offer you money for that dumb boot EVER again. TAKE the offer NOW.
