The remarkably uninspiring true story of how a badly drawn yellow and red animal exposed Valerie Plame and fired numerous U.S. attorneys out of spite and felt no regret or remorse, but plenty of regurgitation. Half reckless self-indulgence, half painful self-digestion, leaving me less of a person than I was when I began. All for you! This has been mostly done for days, now, but nemitz’s lawyers kept making me go back and change things, which has kept more than a few, I would think, more important things from getting done.

Mr. Cavendish sez:
I must say that I find the current edition of Nemitz infinitely preferable to the Pervert Nemitz of the early drawings or that steroid-infused horror on the secret bonus page.
Farnswallow Uplevitch sez:
I pattern my bonus stages after the ones in Claymates.
I’m certainly glad after all my work berating the prehistoric nemitz-like-things to not come here today and find Mr. Cavendish ranking them above the ones I wasn’t much ashamed of.

Dropping a sketchbook in school is like dropping the soap in jail. Except what hurts afterwards isn’t your anus… it’s your soul.
Farnswallow Uplevitch sez:
Fortunately, my soul was lost behind our television set during those years. Although I suppose if I had it those awful pictures wouldn’t have gotten made.
Indighost sez:
As you know I went down the cheeseball road myself, and happy I did.
While creating horrible things, I once considered producing a single family-friendly product just to see how it felt. I actually did it once at a local fiction writing group here in New Jersey. The crowd agreed that the story of an intrepid young male hero vs. a scary monster was “very good”. But then I concluded, having had the experience, that pleasing a crowd does not feel so meaningful compared to simply making what one intended to make in the first place.
I would guess that you feel the same way.
Frimpinheap sez:
I think it is important to find a point between pleasing others and pleasing yourself, which probably seems obvious. I am not pleased when my self-pleasing measure is too embarrassing to show anyone, or if it has no future. It has no future when I personally think it is too stupid or banal to develop beyond the basest elements. Nemitz amuses me on a number of levels, but I was not comfortable exhibiting nemitz, allowing myself to be amused, until it was beyond that early phase.
Indighost sez:
Interesting. I have all sorts of other questions I want to ask you. For example, why are your characters not human?
Frimpinheap sez:
The reason can vary, but it is certainly easier to be ambiguous with non-humans. I do not need to assign genders or races to them.
Indighost sez:
I see. I thought about it and all my other questions relate to pants so I will stay quiet. Thank you for your time.
Frimpinheap sez:
Pants are boring. Pantaloons are more interesting but I do not currently have any use for them.
