An update, a long-awaited reveal, and a bit of chup (catch-up, that is)! Learn all about the projects of Corporate Clash and where they stand today in our newest blogpost!

Read about it here: corporateclash.net/news/article...

A variety of Toons are engaged in a pie-throwing battle. In the background are a variety of piled-up Gags, the Gag-N-Go with Reid cheering them on, and the Gag shop slightly out of frame.

An important part of being a Gag Merchant is knowing when not to lose all your marbles (but 6 is good enough!).

Reid Stock and Lynn Decisive are playing a game of marbles inside the Gag N' Go during a rainy day. Lynn is focusing on the next throw, while Reid looks pensively out the window towards the rainy sky. Lynn Decisive asks Reid Stock: "Say, Stock. Why is it you only ever sell 6 marbles at a time? Wouldn't Toons want the full set?" Reid Stock responds: "Well, I suppose it's cuz it's more cost-effective?"

Reid Stock thinks about the practical usage of marbles on cogs. Specifically, a Downsizer tripping backwards on 6 marbles. Reid claims that "Toons buy my Gags to use on Cogs, and if 6 marbles does the job, no need to sell a full bag." Reid then says: "Leaves me more in case the strays go rollin' out a' sight in here."

Reid Stock looks slightly confused as her thought is interrupted by Lynn Decisive laughing softly from off-panel: "Heeheehee..."

Lynn Decisive leans in towards Reid Stock. Lynn suggests that "Sometimes it's fun to stoop to my level, isn't it, Stock?" Reid Stock is taken aback, blushing from being accurately accused. However, Reid Stock denies the accusation by saying: "Hey now! I ain't no scam artist! It's good business!".

In the lobby of Fast Asleep -- All Star Suites, a large group of Toons sit on and hang around a couch in conversation. To the side, a bat shrugs at Toons on the other side of a window, staring in and upset they were left out. Above them all, under a starry night sky, the words "MODERATORS NEEDED" floats.

No one is a match for Bumpy's Papa Bear instinct.

Mata Hairy brushes off her uniform as she prepares to leave Toon HQ. She looks to the other 3 Resistance Rangers, declaring, "I'm off to Cashbot HQ!" All three of the Rangers smile back at her. Lowden points upwards, stating, "Stay on your guard." Gil Giggles waves, saying, "Good Luck!" Bumpy clasps his hands, telling her, "Don't forget your Gag bag!"

Mata Hairy is in front of the Toon HQ door, one hand on her hip and the other holding a bag of Gags. She smiles, telling Bumpy, "Thanks! It's right h-." She is interrupted by Bumpy, who is offscreen. He states, "And don't forget the lunch Gil packed for you!"

Mata frowns, still holding the bag and standing the same way as in the last panel. Hesitantly, she says, "Uh, thanks..." Bumpy continues from offscreen, yelling, "Bring a sweater too! It gets cold in those mints!"

Mata looks back at the Rangers, still smiling but slightly annoyed. Lowden and Gil are both smiling contentedly, with Lowden waving and Gil's head in one hand. Bumpy cups his mouth to yell at Mata, declaring, "And remember to-" before he is cut off by Mata, who says, "Okay, okay! I get it! Thank you!"

He's Bert. He likes Dirt. Travis has dirt. Now Bert has dirt. All is well.

On a Daffodil Garden street, Travis the Cat is conversing with a yellow fox Toon as he sits in his trash can. The fox looks at him with deep interest. Travis points upwards, stating, "And so I said-" with a confident expression. In the background, Bert approaches the two Toons. His expression is lazy, but excited.

Bert suddenly appears between Travis and the fox Toon. He looks at the camera, lazily waving and saying, "Bert's here." The fox is shocked and recoils in surprise. Travis begins digging into his trash can, squinting and sticking his tongue out. He says, "Oh, Bert's here."

Travis says, "Here you go." as he hands a pile of dirt to Bert. Bert is elated, kicking his leg up as he is handed the dirt. The fox Toon looks at the two of them, confused.

Bert walks away, dirt in hand and clearly still happy. The fox stares after him, scratching their head in confusion. Travis looks down and brushes off his clothes, continuing his story with, "Anyway, as I was sayin'..."

Happy National Lipstick Day! It's always a joy to share it with your beloved... but don't forget to share the love a bit when you can.

Four Toons, in the middle of a battle, stand on a Toontown Central street. A rabbit and fox are openly affectionate, surrounded by hearts and a radiating pink aura. The rabbit holds lipstick behind their back while the fox, covered in kiss marks, tugs at their collar. The other two Toons are exhausted with their antics, with a dog looking bemused holding a cake, as a kiwi angrily waves a Lure gag and points to their Laff meter with one point remaining.

Your brain can help you accomplish many things! If you keep it sharp, it'll be the only tool you need. Be a "cere-bro" like the Prethinker and take a day to celebrate the most enlightening organ you've got! Happy Brain Day!

The Prethinker proudly rattles off many of his accomplishments, all of which were achieved with the use of his massive brain. In the background, several of the Prethinker's most notable achievements are presented as memories in comic panel style. These include the Prethinker's battle of wits with Mac Opsys, his teaching prowess demonstrated through a lecture to the Desk Jockeys, and his graduation from university. An additional memory is shown behind the Prethinker, depicting him getting sprayed by a Squirt Gag.

Resistance fighting's hard work, but it's important to remember what Toons are all about: having fun! Take a break from the concrete jungle and get into the swing of things!

In the jungle of the "Jungle Vines" minigame, two monkey toons are swinging from vines. One red monkey happily flies through the air towards the viewer as a bat chases from behind. Another pink-blue monkey in the back hangs nervously as a spider crawls up where they're hanging.

It's easy to get burnt out while running to and fro, especially for suits. So when Knitting Club rolls around, everyone rests and recovers in their own unique ways. Just keep it hush hush from the higher-ups, yeah?

The C.O.G.S. Inc. Knitting Club mingles in the parlor of Dave Brubot's Theater. Above them is a continuous speech bubble connected to multiple members of the group. The speech bubble displays images representing their conversation topics, including knitting needles, the Featherbedder, Mouthpiece, and Case Manager's stickers in silhouette, and various hearts, question marks, and exclamation points. The Cogs all chat while performing various activities. From left to right: The C.O.O. knits, passively talking with the Mouthpiece. The Featherbedder sleeps on the couch, dropping a pin cushion to the floor. The D.O.P.A. pokes at the Featherbedder's head feathers while talking with the Stenographer. The Mouthpiece, knitting, enthusiastically smiles at the C.O.O.'s idea. The Stenographer talks with the D.O.P.A., adjusting her tie. The Case Manager is actively fighting to stay awake, but is dozing off. Judy, the C.L.O.'s Needlenose Secretary, knits, looking at the Case Manager with concern.

Sometimes sunglasses are better left on. Happy Sunglasses Day!

The Major Player's hand and the lower half of his face take up the majority of the image. The Major Player smiles as he lowers his sunglasses, with the part of his head above his nose remaining unseen. In the reflection of his glasses are 4 Toons (a bat, horse, cat, and pig), who all look at the Major Player with varying degrees of fear and shock.
