the apparent long time owner of one of the websites that I post drawings of became dead recently. immediately afterward word spread seeking to hold him up as a singular creator and savior of that website and by extension all furry-dom, even though mild investigation reveals he did not create the site, gave preferential treatment to zoophiliasts and [accused] rapists, and did not spend money particularly well. a fundraiser was quickly started ostensibly to pay off his medical bills and look after his mother but was largely concerned with covering the website’s substantial, and often suspicious expenses. it became more suspicious when a day after nearly doubling the requested amount of $75000, the fundraiser jumped to over $200,000. the person running the fundraisers was a former spouse of the deceased owner, known to have cheated on him with other parties and for starting numerous fundraisers to cover her own personal expenses. And then once this is paid, by community members, will they have communal ownership of the website? Probably not!

All this “evidence” of trickery is circumstantial but nonetheless it led to me creating this image. the site’s owner willfully used a character similar in appearance to the crucified one here as a self representation on the internet, and it even appears on the fundraiser page. curiously its official reference depicts it as muscular but the owner and especially his sycophants seemed ultimately to prefer the morbidly, ironically obsese version. The atrocious american medical system is frequently blamed for not prolonging the man’s life as it should have, but unfortnately his own habits, encouraged by those sycophants and possibly his own roommates, most certainly exacerbated the severity of those medical issues.

I didn’t personally know the person; I saw him from across a room once in 2012 and didn’t think I had any reason to try and get his attention. Prior to his demise I never observed anyone I knew have anything positive to say about him, though I probably haven’t dealt with any of them since 2012 either.

at first I used a generic central character, thinking it was in bad taste to use the dead mans’ real character, but the whole thing is in bad taste and the character itself isn’t real so I ought to commit to it.

If I had thought it through better I might have had the reptilian facing the other way, both so that the carpenter would be nailing in the correct direction and so an additional character could be shoving a hamburger into the reptilian’s mouth, though that might have needlessly confounded the issue. That seems like I’m saying “boy he SHORE was fat!” rather than “you fetishists encouraged this man to endanger his health just because you get off on it.” And that isn’t even necessarily fair since they got off on the character being fat, not the man himself. As far as I [want to] know.

I included loose depictions of the website’s official mascot and official unofficial mascot as if to blame the website itself rather than real people. Although sometimes I feel like nobody I read about in association with these things is real.

to be used prior to or amidst the energy launching frames shown here. alas this might also require some bits to be separate objects since blatantly the sparky bits that trail off do so for more than four frames. but mercifully that isn’t a decision that is harder to implement if I wait to see how necessary it is.

also some relatively non-silly trees from a location that this monster probably is not to be found in. Although probably more because there are dopes about than because there isn’t water.

you will likely need to click on this to get a legible version, so definitely avoid that

more of this is absolutely what everybody wanted.

it is not a complete waste since the seeing what complainers fixate on can help me to know what I am unclear about and what they absolutely will never accept any level of clarity on. Which still accomplishes nothing long term but it momentarily satisfies my curiosity, potentially. So it is probably only about 85% waste.

speaking of cults,

Why? Tom Cruise isn’t French and he definitely isn’t an olympic competitor. He is an actor who pretends to do amazing things but in actuality is the top spokesman for a billionaire cult that actively harms its own members and tries to destroy former ones who speak about it. I realize that describes all billionaire cults but the important thing is that Mr. Cruise represents one, not which,

this is not quite the game of thrones followup that I was expecting

just to be clear, I am not advocating for androids to hit people over the heads with wooden wile e coyote signs

one of the recurring complaints that I received about this was that the ridiculous things I made the character say were TOO ridiculous, since nobody actually said them and thus the argument is invalid. Consequently I produced an an alternate version.

Surprisingly this did not change anyone’s mind. I guarantee you any public figure consistently photographed wearing a cowboy hat believes one or all of these, and Trump himself either does also or doesn’t care if he enables and empowers someone who does.

the second could be better, but it was foremost a work of spite and that was supposed to be obvious from the low effort level, though still substantially more effort than the meme gifs with which people who had nothing to say tried to argue against it. The third frame refers to a number of killings that were justified after the fact by claiming that the people shot had mental illness, were on drugs or were criminals and thus are better off dead, the best known of which is the Kyle Rittenhouse matter. But I actually forgive him because he was 17 years old at the time and was plainly trusting in very bad people. He shot one person who attacked him BECAUSE HE HAD A GUN. After that occurred, two more attacked him, one with a skateboard, and they also got shot to death. The third had his own smaller gun, which also had no business being there. Was HE planning to shoot someone BEFORE he saw someone with a bigger gun? Impossible to know. So it is a complicated issue, but the PERCEPTION of this is that Kyle bravely fought for freedom and gunned down a mob of pedophiles, which isn’t what happened and isn’t what ever will happen outside of Deadpool 2 (which I didn’t particularly enjoy but that is unrelated), and they let their belief in this absurdity flavor their view of the world, which doesn’t help ANYONE. Leftists (as I have been called for posting comic strips like this) don’t help by presenting the House of the Ritten as a deliberately acting white supremacist T800 either, but as unfortunate as that is it stops short of endorsing more gun violence.

stupid arguments led to the creation of a THIRD strip but since it actually has new drawings I should probably try and pass that off as next week’s update instead of forcing it into this one. I am also tired after foolishly responding to no less than thirteen comments from the same guy who seems to have only seen that troublesome third frame, even after I discovered that he spent several WEEKS, maybe years, arguing that She-Ra looked too much like a man in some dumb cartoon.

The people who want to argue with me about this literally having nothing better to do or aspire to do. I ought to at least act like I do.

whewish! It sure is good to know that no police were injured when they casually executed someone for being homeless, owning a knife and acknowledging their presence while pope fascist, o he of the bandaged ear, was in town.

people have been threatened, banned from websites and terminated from their jobs already for making light of the trump shooting, largely by self-described advocates of “free speech” who openly endorse the murder of immigrants, and probably homeless people also, if not through bullets than through public policy that deliberately harms them. It is socially acceptable to joke about Trump dying but it has to be from natural circumstances like choking on a pretzel or getting shot accidentally by the vice president while hunting for tiny little birds.

I personally favor him getting hit in the head by an errant golf ball or suffering an allergic reaction to the peanut butter he gets rolled in every morning. It is very hard to blame that on “The Left” except as a description of a relative point in space and frame Trump’s receipt in a heroic light. That won’t kill the willfully stupid movement that he appropriated into his political viability but no one in his sycophant army has successfully made such a lifestyle out of overtly avoiding accountability. Some of have tried, and a bunch of them were eventually sent to prison or placed under court orders. People are willing to believe that God personally intervened and stopped Trump from getting killed. They wouldn’t believe that about friggin Giuliani. For “his” part God apparently didn’t care if innocent audience members got killed or injured, nor was willing to suggest to the assailant to NOT buy a gun, climb on a roof and fire into a crowded venue, or maybe even just transform the gun into pudding. Believing in divine intervention, this or any time, only makes sense if you believe that God is an erratic spiteful jerk, which admittedly is consistent with scripture, but if that is the case God doesn’t care about your devotion either and will gladly throw a tornado at you just because he came in under budget this quarter and needed to spend the surplus to avoid cuts.

an alternative suggestion: God exists, and he’s American. And blue and naked.

and we all know how that turns out. Thankfully HBO’s newer management doesn’t like cartoons and will not be making a television series following up on this.

I thought I was done but the creepy oddly-shaded weird-eyed trump picture kept reminding me of someone and I couldn’t quite determine who. I now think it might be the character Colossus from Goblins 3 who manages to knock himself out by sneezing so hard he hits his head on what I always in the past interpreted to be his boots but I think now is meant to be the metallic control-box beside his hammock. I made this terrible gif out of screenshots I took 14 years ago, presumably knowing I would eventually find a weird public event to display them in the context of. I presume Colossus survives but if Trump sneezed so hard that he passed out repeatedly that might prevent him from issuing regressive policies. Much has been made of the vengeance Trump has vowed to issue in a second term, but he also said he would “drain the swamp” and get Mexico to pay for the wall meant to block itself in, and neither of those happened. Really, nobody knows what he will do. He doesn’t even know. Maybe he will build a wall around the swamp.

captain dope deserves only your scorn and derision! it is NOT a real captain!

unless if by “married” you mean “infuriatingly smiled at for an indefinite period” captain dope has no power, much less authority to assist you.

exclusively for the purpose of annoying me, nemitz replaced the bottom of this boat with a screen door and then rowed unwelcomely toward me while smiling.
as to HOW nemitz replaced the bottom of that boat with a screen door, which surely should be beyond mitz capabilities, I know not, but I do know that were it a useful thing to do nemitz could not have done it. when nemitz is around stupid things just HAPPEN.
including captain dope. I had hoped to never see captain dope ever again. Perhaps there is still time not to.

just two days ago i noticed the furnace in the basement here said “granby” on it, which reminded me that nemitz once said “eestgranby” and that I even called mit out on the deed.
the very idea, the absolute audacity, for it to even be plausible that nemitz would DARE declare “eestgranby” in my presence is itself unforgivable.
potentially but not necessarily forgivable, me attempting to integrate leaf shadows for the first time ever across the front of snikpel (angry creature at fore of boat) several minutes before posting this.

why would you name your steel tank company after a nemitz quote unless you were producing military grade tanks because you wanted to remind yourself to shoot nemitz with them?

you will absolutely need to click through to the larger version to have any hope of reading the text on this

this is not remotely finished but I am uncertain of the internet situation at the place(s) where vestigial family obligations intend to hold me hostage for the next ten days and I thought this was important. I will replace this with a more legible version if opportunity thinks that is necessary. in reality I and the shirtler did not speak, i never found out what it said and I am not actually a snake. however I was able to find the full text from 500 different vendors, which states “If you don’t like Trump then you probably will not like me either, and i am okay with that,” which I think encapsulates the nihilistic spite of the american spirit appropriately for independunce day. the land where so many are ready to pay for the right to tell strangers “i want you, whom i haven’t even met and may not meet and in fact cannot confirm exist, to NOT like me” that there is a wide-ranging market specifically for it. Alas I could not find the specific variant of ugly corona beer velcro sandals, so perhaps I was looking at vintage collector’s items, the mark of a true enthusiasthole.

no i do not reckon i am getting much work done at this 19th century fischer priƒe pretend desk. I should think it nice to have something resembling a desk at all, a rarity on these trips, but since there is just one bathroom for all four people and it connects to this room this is unlikely to be an efficient room even with a work surface not made for and by elves. the chair TOUCHES the desk.

lerd again, this time to amend its aggressive motions.
oh boats; my most recent edits to angle 2 fixed some unusual erratic movements but I realized afterward that i was meant to leave those movements in place and just draw them better, to imitate the lunge of angle 3. whoopth. i may have to put them in as they are and see which looks less awkward to decide which to change to match the other. or just leave them alone since nobody who isn’t me could possibly care.
////////////////////////
i like blue electricity better but i do not want to use the same palette section as the tail segment, EVEN though I will probably need that split off into separate object(s) like with the move around frames. I would prefer to set all color changes on the main object (the lerd’s body) since additional objects created by it (such as its projectiles and its trail of body parts) can inherit its color swap settings, and thus i will only need to designate one color change for each base lerd type. I need at least two lerd types; one that crawls on land and one that hides underwater and jumps out like a seaworld captive to throw abuse and then promptly resubmerges. And later a third that, more like a Hexen stoker,

never leaves liquid and uses a more powerful attack that also doesn’t, since I presently don’t know a way to have a creature check what sort of floor it is on before attacking, but i CAN set a creature to not leave the floor it is on. It is probably possible to issue a floor-check command but it isn’t necessarily necessary that I know how to do that at this juncture since I don’t even have the main two that I DO know how to make implemented yet. And then like with the jumping fyip I will probably come up with a buggy half functional way of doing it, then ask for help on the zdoom forum and get an embarrassingly more efficient way that actually works explained to me by someone else, assuming north america hasn’t melted into the sea by the time I get around to that.

historically it has been able to launch two wimpy projectiles from its hands on that “ball” frame. It would also, and still does, throw a single larger shot when it crosses the arms. throwing magic out of your hands or mouth is not original, but from head protrusions is less common. i decided thus that i should have the twin shots launch directly from the electric appendages (using additional frames that are yet less complete than these) rather than the hands. Arms needing to cross in order to launch a blast is also unusual so I kept that. it is still dumb old doom engine which is inherently limited to stuff that has since been done in thousands of other games but i aim to do my best with the fate i have set for me. even if it kills me, though i won’t know if it has done that until probably right before it does.

also i call the hexen stalkers “stoker” after how kan naito pronounces “land stalker,” because I think dumb things are funny. and more recently after how the 1999 playstation port of final fantasy 5 supposedly refers to the wendigo monster, because this wiki proclaiming that fails to explain that stoker means stalker, not wendigo, since the later localizers opted to change the name entirely rather than correct the silly romanization of the original name that was simply a Japanification of an english word.

but admittedly it is easy, 25 years later, to look back and say OBVIOUSLY this naked blue horned steroid man with a club is too busy jumping stupidly and tickling his arms to waste time wendigoing about stoking, and I envy the optimistic ignorance of those days somewhat.

of course he was. they didn’t have cars back then.

but in all seriousness you’re telling me this guy doesn’t take guns on film sets seriously?

I think I made this “joke” a long time ago but I can’t find evidence. I realized I should do it here because just as many people care about my non-drawings here as on twitter but at least I can locate these later and don’t risk alienating people who might want to not pay me to draw embarrassing animal people cartoon drawings later.

instead I found this older gripe about people jumping on the opportunity to mock the topic not because an innocent person was killed due to the negligence and possible arrogance of multiple parties but because the actor involved made fun of their favorite treasonous rapist felon amidst a totally different project. Surprisingly none of them came looking for me (as we have established that this post is findable) to say “What about crooked Shillary Clinton? What about Bengazi? What about Ben gay grooming Our Kids? What ever happened to the other four Ben Folds Five? Think about it.”

and it reminded me that I have a reason to not like matthew broderick apart from my simply not liking him. Not that the killing was deliberate but it was negligent and he never did anything to raise awareness about shoddy driving and presumably never shared any of the millions of dollars he has accrued for being non-lethally-insufferable with the people he affected with the shoddiness of his driving. And indeed Baldwin has inexplicably continued to get hired for non-job jobs since he accidentally man-slaughtered a woman. Gosh consider that he should have already been in prison just for letting Boss Baby happen.

page 3-“54” now of the bimshwellian comic strip.
most of june twelfth was spent adding in pog and yibrick to the frames where I had not yet determined what they were doing. I thought about kumquat trying to shove yibrick in where the dope was and yibrick objecting but it did not work with any of the views of kumquat already there. this backup strategy does make me consider that yibrick’s “hair” was added primarily as a thing by which to grasp the ball-like creaturoid.

this page shows the back door, which is why the colors are different. i have done a horrible job keeping up with my various changes to location designs since I often draw something with a plan the first time, put more thought into it the second time, forget about it, and then look up the first version as a reference when I draw it a third time. at that point I may have been sick of my past self and decided to simply show another side of the building that I could not contradict a previous edition of.
the characters are more important, so naturally i spend even less time designing those.

june 13: I should have another comic page update at some point this day. it has a lot of stuff wrong with it and i should have prepared something else instead of thinking I could get it out yesterday. fortunately I do this for free and nobody except me looks at it until I announce it elsewhere so failing my imaginary deadline also does not matter to anyone except me. What is your problem(s), me?
///////////////////////

page 3-pre-65 of the bimshwellian comic strip
i forgot that i wrote this before posting the most recent page. it needs to occur at some point prior to that. There is also another to be displayed immediately after this one but evidently not to be finished immediately after and thus it is not here and there is for now a gap in the revised numbering.
i additionally need to do something about the gorf gnome pages ago reporting the location’s address as “dumpling and drab,” as that would seem to indicate a place on a corner, which this structure is not, and already was not before I wrote that. the building’s name could be “dumpling and drab” but if i am going to name buildings i might possibly be able to think of a better one than that. But I also thought the same about the possibility of naming me the humanoid mutant “bimshwel” after this website url and so put off doing that for years and eventually went with bimshwel anyway. The important thing is that Richard Krippendreyfuss is no longer at the top of this page.

Richard Dreyfuss did some stupid garbage recently that received publicity and outrage.
does nobody involved remember or care that Richard Dreyfuss starred in the Disney-financed/distributed Krippendorf’s Tribe in 1998?

OR that this was the poster image? Dreyfuss was an embarrassing corny old man even then, at the rumored age of 51 years. He can only be more embarrassing, corny and old by now. I sure am. I derisively labeled persons whom I considered to have low quality opinions and tastes as “krippendorf”s for years and then seemed to forget to do it.


Plainly I need to do more of that.
i have another comic page nearly ready but i would rather post this first and that tomorrow and not have nearly naked megasquatting richard dreyfuss at the top of my page for a week, however likely someone else provided a body and Drey’s head was pasted on to that one. Mercifully even right now the legs get cropped out at my present screen resolution and interface-zoom level.
We can’t even blame France for Krippendorf’s Tribe like with 1997’s Jungle 2 Jungle. ALSO produced and distributed by Disney, and not even pretending to be Touchstone Pictures. Fiddle dee doodle. Richard Dreyfuss did not appear in Jungle 2 Jungle but he DID star in and executive produce Mad Dog Time, the only movie that Siskel And Ebert collectively determined was was than Little Indian, Big City the english-dubbed French movie that Jungle 2 Jungle is a remake of, in 1996. However they also like a lot of movies that I think are awful and I have more of a problem with bad movies when crtics think the movies are good, and thus this dilutes my complaints about Richard Dreyfuss appearing in movies that paid, quoted critics don’t like. How dare they agree with me! I hope they die.

i am greatly amused by this terrible 1975, supposedly, popeyes fried chicken television advertisement. it was from a bizarre period during which the cartoon character popeye, after whom the restaurant is NOT named, appeared in its advertising anyway.

It is named after Popeye Doyle from the French Connection. (don’t try to read that old 2003 page, just know it is there) Popeye Doyle was based on real police personality Eddie Egan who in life was nicknamed “popeye” presumably after the cartoon character, but nonetheless until it can be determined that cartoon popeye was named after the restaurant, then accidentally time-traveled to and got stuck in the 1920s I will consider there to be no direct connection between them.

I do not know what is the “rice dressing” that olive demands “lots” of but this may be irrelevant since she is not given any, doesn’t seem to notice, and also doesn’t notice that she is singing a different, worse version of the “love that chicken” jingle which already wasn’t good than the servers are.

concerning the visuals, popeye and olive revert to the outfits they wear in comic strips and old fleischer studios cartoons but still have the oversized eyeballs they have had in cartoons since the 1940s, along with olive having conspicuous eyelashes that seem to switch between middle or side oriented depending on how wide her eyes are open. Popeye has re-lost the eye that had also been restored by post-fleischer animators.

He refers to the wares of a popeyes restaurant as “some of me chicken” as if it IS his restaurant, when we know it is not. perhaps he does not know it is not. as a famous cartoon character –animated by a studio called “famous studios,” even– he is probably accustomed to there being many things with “POPEYE” written on them that he never heard of or authorized but accepts that they exist, are in some way related to him and on some level his property even if he never sees residuals from their business and thus has to keep running penny arcades, diners and one-man construction companies and getting into physical altercations with Bluto to try and claim a single customer who never seems to pay for anything despite frequently pledging to do so. It is rough being Popeye.

popeye distinctly asks for a bucket of chicken but the non-cartoon attendant, who knows popeye by name and isn’t surprised to see him despite him being, essentially, a creature from another dimension, promptly fetches a BOX of chicken. popeye doesn’t seem to notice the error.

his single eye seems to be fixed on the ceiling the whole time. I momentarily thought maybe that is where the cue cards are held, but that assumes Popeye can read, and it would also mean a real three dimensional person with no excuse had WRITTEN “bucket” into the script instead of “box.” I am inclined to believe that on the first few takes Popeye said “gives us a can of chicken” and once he diverged to bucket he had at least successfully evoked the idea of fast food fried chicken, if from a competitor. He might have been thinking about how Colonel Sanders signed away his entire business including his own likeness for a single one million dollar payment and consequently had to appear in its ads just to get ANY further benefit related to the situation despite thinking the company ruined the product and inadvertently said bucket when he meant can. during his 30 years as a seaman third class in the US Navy chances are Popeye visited Blackpool, the site of UKland’s first kentucky fried chicken and perhaps was familiar with that. he probably considers the bootleg “Popeye’s Takeaway” restaurant also in blackpool to be no less legitimate than the american joint calling itself “Popeyes” and also not giving him royalties, and as a cartoon character popeye probably sees what he is thinking about floating over his head and very likely is looking at that.

he is also probably trying to respect the chain of command considering that an army or air force colonel is equivalent to a navy captain and honor the colonel’s service without realizing that “kentucky colonel” is only an honorary title and Sanders does not actually outrank him, at least not in the other 47 states that Popeye is aware of.

I also know that this is canonical to Popeye at Popeyes related promotions because an undated photograph from 2008 that I saved in 2019 off of some other webpage that is no longer there shows J Wellington Wimpy also looking, as best he is able, at a thought bauble. presumably in disbelief because he most certainly is NOT thinking about fried chicken.

Curiously in unamerican nations there is to this day a hamburger joint chain named Wimpy, with a signature offering more line with the character associated with the name and equally not authorized by king features syndicate. ironically even Popeye himself strikes me as more likely to go there because prior to his spinach fixation, comic strip popeye ate hamburgers (and huge unseasoned chunks of raw beef), but also never fried chicken. Yet curiouslier, the wimpy hamburger chain actually started in the US, in 1934, despite being much more overtly ripping off King Feature Syndicate’s intellectual property, while the GOOD cartoons were still being made even, and “the chain vanished within the United States after [founder Edward] Gold’s death because no one had purchased the rights and trademark to the Wimpy name from Gold’s estate.[2]” even though Gold himself never purchased the rights to Wimpy in the context of hamburgers. And then in the late 1970s the surviving british Wimpy invented a character for advertising called “Mr. Wimpy” dissimilar in appearance to J. Wellington. But which still seems like it should be a copyright violation, to me because there is no reason to call someone “wimpy,” as a last name, even, exclusively over their fondness for hamburgers EXCEPT when referring to popeye’s old frenemy. curiousest, in 2023 there apparently appeared, in the united states, a Wimpy’s sandwich restaurant full of bootleg-looking artwork of Popeye characters in addition to Wimpy, but is otherwise 1950s themed despite Wimpy specifically dating to 1931, and thus not organic to a 1950s setting and via the mickey mouse rule still under copyright.

ALSO according to the header picture that they uploaded at a size larger than they meant to display, its name is inspired by a totally different 1934 hamburger restaurant named after Wimpy than what became the multinational chain and is overtly religious in its marketing a la Chick Fil-A, which is more a competitor to the restaurant named after Popeye. All this is curious but not enough for me to try and figure out who actually owns or licenses what or deal with adding more pictures because I do not like hamburgers that much. They never get any better yet cost more and more money. There is a dump chain “wayback burgers” that also wants to evoke the 1950s even though it’s cheapest, smallest, most basic hamburger costs $7.19. I also must travel out of my WAY to get there and so choose not to go BACK. ah ha he.

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.
