I am being informed now that the snake is fine.
You know the old saying, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will make me dwell at length and periodically explode comically, but I worry this might still worry my mother if she saw it.
I had hoped in september to get back to more productive projects but this one keeps coming back
busy week, almost forgot
i hear “go to disney” said casually regularly and it bothers me, much the same way as “google it” does. I don’t like brands replacing bits of language, even if in this case the brand has merely replaced a reference to its own branded attraction. it still means language got stupider through the actions of boring complacent people.
whenever I see or hear the phrase something about it seems nefarious, possibly due to early life exposure to the terrible but ubiquitous 198x “Ghostbusters” video game that commanded players “GO TO ZUUL” at some point, the whole while various ghosts have also been going to zuul and presumably strengthening it. I never actually knew how to play it or if not going to zuul in a timely fashion made a difference but I remember being worried about it when watching other people play it.
“the website” I kept referring to last week, furryfinity, –which I don’t like to mention by name on my own website but I am going to show pictures of other people naming it so I suspect clearing up what I am talking about may be useful– THIS week had its email addresses swiped and its domain redirected to its twitter account that had been fully compromised by some person posting alt right hogwash, arbitrary racism and illiterate meme kid garbage for a day or so while accusing others of being on the internet too much
it was called a “hack” but the dork didn’t have actual access to the site itself, just whatever could be gained by forcing through bad passwords on email accounts. Since the person hadn’t really hacked anything, eventually control was regained, and it was announced by the furryfinity owners (whose identity is yet uncertain because the previous owner is dead and no public staff list, much less line of succession, exists) like this:
Zero wing is an old corny reference but its usage indicates, even if inadvertently, that no obnoxious memester under the age of 30 is presently in command. I am sure those who criticized my illustration last week (there were a few, as usual from people I never would have heard from UNLESS I did something they didn’t like)) would point to this event and my continuing to use the website as proof that I should be more reverent of the administrators, whoever the heck they are, but really this shows how poorly they protect the website. They couldn’t get it back without waiting on the registrar. And doubtlessly neither could I in the same situation, but I am also not running a business through bimshwel.com nor begging for other people to bail out my business, so I have less obligation to the people paying me and less of a target on me for idiots committing crimes unrelated to copyright infringement for fun.
THAT site had been compromised loads of times while the previous owner lived and it still happened now that he is dead. The core data wasn’t accessed but only because the “hacker” was an idiot more interested in trying to impress users of the Kiwi Farm weirdo documentation/abuse forum (who weren’t impressed) with what he put on the twitter account and promote crypto currency scams (that nobody bought into) than doing actual damage to “the furries.”
this announcement seems to indicate that Rob Schneider was responsible. Apart from the age-related notice I just mentioned.
Several morons, two of which I literally never heard of and who don’t watch my page, tried to hijack my joke with lower effort references to more contemporarily notorious actors, then one mega moron who posted a huge what looked like a south park screenshot who i muted just to get it off my update feed, like they think I’ll thank them, delete my post, and then post their version instead with a credit or something. I prefer schneider for this since I have a longstanding disdain for his career, even before he became a republican bullet point shill. If I went with anyone else it would have been Marlon Wayans since they were both in about as many bad movies as each other amidst the same period but he hasn’t been nearly as awful otherwise.
Schneider also specifically “starred” in The Animal about a man (him) who inadvertently takes on animalistic traits and I can theoretically imagine him resenting furries for not making it as big a winner as non-existent film critic david manning proclaimed it to be. The best thing this movie did was right this moment making me remember fondly a time when artificial journalists actually got credit.
fricken and look at this picture. He looks like he should be on a bag of Hot Fries at a crummy convenience store, not enormous cinema screens. He looks like he should be doing blood-thinner commercials with Arnold Palmer except they got Kevin Nealon for that and Arnold Palmer is dead anyway. He looks like a Rankin-Bass christmas special puppet after half a century in a non-temperature-controlled storage unit. He looks like half a Dom Deluise, mass and charisma-wise.
then a day and several hours later Rob Schneider endorsed Trump for president, because obviously that is what’s going to do it, so suddenly I was informed that
it reminds of some local eminently teasable kid who became notorious after he proclaimed “YOU may have the muscles but WE have the brains!” and possibly whoever was antagonizing him thought it was so funny that there was no need to continue. Trump’s support base HAS to be a cult if they are willing to start pretending Rob Schneider has ever done anything positive and that anyone criticizing Rob is now the enemy who must be irascibly taken down. Or at least this one twit is banking on it so he might get his very first retweet. It looks like he’s been trying a while:
so I wear the world’s dorkiest, conformiest sweater to balance it out
the apparent long time owner of one of the websites that I post drawings of became dead recently. Details beyond that quite honestly I have had quite enough of a few months on, both the people I got those details from and the people who have a problem with me mentioning those details. The ones who hold this guy up like a god forbidden to criticize are horrible and the ones who spend hours or days of their lives every week to nitpick his every act so they can interpret it the worst possible way are worse, and actually much more likely to have a problem with me still in april 2025. Nonetheless this picture exists.
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.
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
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.
