Sanitation crews are coming through my store tonight. You know what that means. :/

Matt

how many prop guns can you buy before the government starts asking if you're planning to rob a liquor store with them

Slowly assembling a team to help me make Swole Foods. To that effect, the next comic is gonna be illustrated by my very good friend Michelle, who has a very lovely East-meets-West style that I think compliments the characters very well and hopefully she’ll be working with me on more stuff soon. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875635

bananain Joe Lieberman.

Matt

President’s been flown to the hospital.

Matt

For the record, I said that before he was diagnosed with Covid

Matt

How soon after the President dies from Covid is too soon to make a cartoon about it

Matt

Gen Z/Millennial, whatever. I feel like people born in 1996-1998, we’re kind of in our own mini-generation because we grew up in a weird middle period between the culture wars of the 90s and the... culture wars of the mid to late 2010s.

Matt

It feels like a missed opportunity because SF is supposed to take place in “our world”, as much as a show about talking animals can. That’s sort of been my MO since around 2015 or so, that these stories aren’t rooted very much in the extraordinary or the supernatural and that the issues the characters face are (exaggerated) reflections of real issues we face as a species. MLB 2 is about depression and how your friends can help (or harm) you along that path. The Twin Souls is also about depression, “stand your ground” theories, political polarization, spiritual guidance, and suicidal ideation, set against the backdrop of the at-the-time relevant Syrian refugee crisis and the 2016 election. Swole Foods is about depression again (surprise surprise) but also just about living in modern America as a Gen Z-er, and I feel like by ignoring Covid in these episodes I’m straying from that premise a bit.

Matt

It’s not too late to add masks to the characters (though it would look kind of weird as I’d just be adding a layer on top, a mask layer, if you will) but I dunno if the lack of any lip syncing would annoy people. I’ve always been of the opinion that the facial area is usually what makes or breaks an animation.

Matt

At the beginning of the pandemic I refrained from writing anything about the pandemic into these Swole Foods shorts (set to release soon) because I thought the jokes would be dated, and therefore need to be cut, by around this time. Now it’s just gonna look kiwiin stupid that not a single character in this packed grocery store has even a chin-covering.

Matt

that debate's gonna keep me up at night. mostly because every time i think about how awful that was Donald Trump personally comes to my house and tells me I'm wrong

it's my birthday http://rainbowdash.net/url/875623

Always thought it was really funny that the Trump campaign did so much work building up Biden to be this flailing moron such that any time Biden does anything remotely competent he's beating expectations and his poll numbers soar. Congratulations, you played yourself.

Matt

Like not only did i find out who wore the pants in that relationship, I’m pretty sure I found out who wears the leash.

Matt

This customer is WHIPPED man, he called to complain that our ice cream was too much ice, not enough cream and his wife felt he wasn’t being forceful enough so she snatched the phone from him and started yelling at me, I just ended up feeling worse for the dude than I did about anything the lady was saying to me

Matt

it also fires up the other side's base and prevents split-ticket voting, which happens mostly to be a "check" on the assumed winner's power.

Matt

Why do Trump supporters keep citing the statistic that most people think Trump will be re-elected like that's supposed to be encouraging for them, that's literally part of how Clinton lost in the first place, people thought it would be safe to protest vote in key areas because victory was "certain".

Matt

it only took me 28 comics to do an animal joke, i think http://rainbowdash.net/url/875620

My copy of Adobe Animate is so busted up because I use an older version and because Adobe doesn't let you download older versions anymore i had to archive it on a hard drive and when i use a new windows installation i just copy that installation folder over, anyway now the program gives me a big warning saying that it's not installed when i launch it and then it'll just let me use it anyway

Matt

you know what, Richard Nixon wasn’t even that bad
