Old comic from 2020 appears on Bluesky!
*stadium crowd cheering noise*
The awkward-winning Demon Bot Comic is here, with small adjustments and complete new art.
*crowd spontaneously breakdance*
And it's all free!
*It's for the exposure. That's what I'm apparently eating tonight*

I grew up in a time when cartoons, even live action and ads, had moments where characters would go unhinged, extreme reactions to the merest thing, or for no reasons, eyeballs popping out and heads exploding. Ren and Stimpy was quite an example. So.
Yeah. I sometimes draw unhinged stuff. In dna now.

I like when I see the artist's signature on the cover of a comic book. When I notice there isn't one, I get the feeling I'm holding the equivalent of a plastic lunch box. And feel sad they keep their artists in the dark from us.

so "calling out the joke" can serve similar purpose.a bit too on the nose)

Maybe just a parallel to laugh tracks. Nowadays you could say those annoying snickering laughing sounds your hear added onto live footage videos online.

....I noticed there's a trend in entertainment humor to state out the joke after the fact. Wonder of ramifications. As children entertainment, it can help educate humor patterns I guess and kids love stating what they recognize? Could be a mirror of the health of abstract thinking of the time?

My usual habit is that I see any of those illustration situations as a challenge/puzzle to overcome using my knowledge and skills, and if I'm wasting too much time figuring it out on my own, I find creative shortcuts or else start incorporating some aspects of references for what I struggle with.

No reference used so I'm kind of proud and ashamed both at the same time of that animation.
