Money Tree Caterpillars: MEET THY DOOM!

` Though I don't yet have the internet in my new apartment (oh my God will the moving post be hilarious!) the next post for this blog has already been written - back in September of 2005! That's right! It was back before I had this blog and intended to be up on Wackmobiles.
` Why didn't I just put it up then? Because I hadn't photographed my sketchbook until months later, and by that time I wanted to wait until the day I got to this pagespread in chronological order.

` This is that day! So without further ado/brook trout, here's what I've already written in 2005:

` Has anyone ever seen these overly-cutesy commercials featuring a man and a woman in green and yellow butterfly larva costumes, talking about The MoneyTree? In one of them, there is a cartoon painting of the one named 'Bob', and... it blinks!!

` They are rather infamous in areas where their commercial plagues television. In fact, their infamy is no secret, as we see in this article [notice I don't mention where I got this from]...

But readers hardly confined their disdain to the Mariner ads. Among those getting mentions, along with some reader quotes: The Travelocity gnome ("lame...the least the ad agency could have done was animate the character.")

[I disagree - the object of the commercials was to portray a stolen garden gnome as part of a prank.]

The Quizno's ads with creatures that no one is quite sure how to describe (among the attempts: sponge monkeys, singing gerbils, roadkill). The secretary of state's ads on voting ("Some of the most amateur advertisements I've seen or heard in mainstream media."). Money Tree's caterpillars....

` And for all my loyal readers (yes, all three of you!), I have given much attention to this problem and have taken the situation into my own hands. Muahahhahahhaahaa! (Clicky to view.) [I'll admit, though, I've since updated the last speech bubble to something more humorous.]

` Proof that thousands of species in the world really would value the MoneyTree Caterpillars - and most of them are either insect-eaters or parasitic wasps!
` Of course, Bob and Babs have also been the subject of such internet communities as the Satanosphere. (No, it's not for Satanists; it began as an undeveloped domain, named for one of the Captain's songs...) [Who was the Captain, again?]
` One forum commenter ZomBfied observed:

I was thinking who paid for this, thought it was good enough to show and made a series of them? Did they get like story boards or do any kind of market research?

But you know what --in an advertisers mind the fact that we are talking about them means they were effective. There's no such thing as bad attention. If we hate them we remember them more than if we were ambivilant. I'm going to do some research and try to find out who is responsible.

And Paul Shrug replied:

If one were to believe ZomB's theory that these commercials aren't so much made to be good as much as notable (not a bad theory in my opinion), then I have a suggestion that would drive Money Tree's business through the roof: Have a commercial with Ice Cube shooting both of these furry things in the head.

It can work. Wrigley's Gum Company went from having the squarest, most awful ads on television into having the strangest and possibly greatest. I'm just trying to help.

I still hate those fucking bugs.

And ZomBfied added:

bug1: Hey I'm having a burger
bug2: What kind of burger
bug1: My favorite: A leaf burger!
bug1: Hey who's that?
Ice Cube: You won the contest!
bug2: What contest?
Ice Cube: The wet T-shirt contest Mutha f(beep)! (shoots them both in the chest several times)

` YES!! Wet with their pus-colored caterpillar blood! Muahahaa! Further down, Commander Pizza Killa wrote:

Kills 'em, I say, those annoying bugs!

` And Paul said:

The Commander's affirmation... now I know this is a righteous cause.

Nary a butterfly shall there be!

` RIGHT ON!! These comments, in fact, stem from this still-running [in 2005] poll about just what they think the MoneyTree Caterpillar Commercials are...

` In fact, so despised are Bob and Babs that they are also mentioned in this San Diego Reader Remote Control King article as the second item on the easily-irked Ollie's list;

WHAT I WILL AND WON'T WATCH THIS WEEK...

THE COMMERCIAL ISSUE!

...three girls walk along on a beach. One says, "I'd kill for a brownie," and her friend says, "Oh, yeah, she's menstrual." Like it's the latest, hip, happening thing for a girl's uterus to slough off its interior wall. ...My biggest fear involving this is that it will become the de rigueur punchline in every stand-up comedian's routine for the next ten years.

...If I'm really pissed off and have no place to channel my anger I think about what I would do to those Money Tree caterpillars if we were ever in the same room. My scowl soon turns to a smile as I think of green and yellow face paint smeared across my knuckles, teeth skittering over a concrete floor, and the shouts of, "Please! Oh, please! No more! I can't take...oh, my antennae! No!"

` Me too, Ollie. Me too. Just another example of how much the MoneyTree caterpillars stir up so much hate from the people!
` It's true, we're an ugly bunch when you show us such irresponsible cutesieness. And perhaps that is MoneyTree's intent! Perhaps they want us to go insane so that we will do what they want!!
` How insidious of them!

` Then again, don't a lot of commercials do that? Yet another good reason I'm glad we don't have television. Except for CBS and UPN for some odd reason. Hey! South Park is coming to UPN! [Yes, this was definitely written in 2005, and no, I no longer have television at all, nor do I live with the same people!]

` And just for this blog, a special bonus photo - the last 'drawring' in my sketchbook at the time I had drawn the caterpillars.

` Every Person Who Lived In My Apartment At That Time Knows It's Butters!
` ...Butters, and her best friend, Food!

` I'll have my very own internet by Friday, so please be patient. My upcoming moving post is definitely worth reading and full of humor - and a few more cat photos! Overall, the experience of exploring our new apartment was full of surprises, including a bucket of poopy water, huge clods of dog fur and an entire empire of mildew!
` Great place, huh?

` Update: If you think the caterpillars are weird... how about a Kotex commercial featuring a beaver as a girl's best friend? Mutters' blog post concerning this (and my link to the video) is right here.

Drawings of dinosaurs - from real life!

` Told you 'next time' would be soon! If you're familiar with my drawings (and only about two people are), you can easily tell whether any one of them - even a simple sketch - was copied from real life rather than one where I wasn't looking at anything.
` And this, my friends, was sketched directly from what I was looking at!
fromreallife Indeed, in the sketchbook, the Suchomimus is actually commenting on this - he was in front of me and that's why he doesn't look cartoony! (They could talk, right?)
` And that's because I was drawing from a painting. Ho ho! I almost got you thinking I was a nutcase, didn't I? Gee, I hope not... anyway, when I'm copying off of anything, my drawings definitely have a different texture than when I was drawing, say, Gourdy as in my last post, or even a dinosaur from my own imagination.
` That's because I'm looking at the drawing instead of seeing something, and my picturing (things in my mind) skills were quite poor. As I would have commented:

albertosaurus Deciding on what something looked like in my head was not an easy task, so it wasn't so clear. (My ability to estimate value was almost worthless without something to work from.) This is what you call 'undeveloped skills'. And so, almost everything I drew was referenced by an actual source.... dinoimagedrawings In fact, you may recognize these images, as I got them from the internet. Real exciting, huh? But here's one that definitely was not....
alittlesculpture It's the head of a sentient little ornithopod! ...I sculpted him myself!

A Closer Look at Gourdy

` Back in 2005, when I lived with a coupla guys, I made a blog post 'Which Ones Are Modern Myths?' where you can see Gourdy, the Vector-Drawn Yurk<sup>TM</sup> as a sort of mascot.
` But that's the only computer-constructed version of him I ever made. He's all over my sketchbook, of course, notably when he reveals himself in his fight with Nights, arguably one of the fruitiest video game characters in the world.
` Later on, after the vector incident, I drew a whole rash of Gourdy evolution in my Twisted Little World sketchbook, though it started - bizarrely enough - with this hilariously terrible idea for a kid's coloring book! (Click to get a closer look.)

gourdy1 Charming, isn't it? And it really got me thinking... what if Yurks could be farmed? Then, it just got out of hand....

gourdy2 That, near the bottom, was Butters, the biting cat we'd just gotten at the time. (After my oft-drawn Katie had died.) Before I knew it, I had started changing Gourdy's feet....

gourdy3 ...And his bill.

gourdy4 ...Not to mention his resistance to magic rings.

gourdy5 ...and his ability to slay demons.

gourdy6 All that from a little silhouette on the cover of a book I had designated Zum Ersten Mal, actually a journal in disguise (one I had after my Dad had stolen all my journals). Yes, Gourdy has come a long way.

` Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these little sketches - I have much cooler stuff for next time. Which will be soon. I promise. And I'm sorry I haven't been by lately - I've been spending too much time at my other blogs whenever I get some time at the computer!
` Indeed, I keep not coming back precisely because the posts are so simple to put together. I'll try to do better. I mean... right, there is no try. Only do. So I'll do that.

I'm Back! And I'm a Robot!

` Since all three of my ImageShack accounts are apparently over-bloated, I've moved onto Free Image Hosting, but since that one (including my photos!) has disappeared from view, perhaps never to return, I remembered... my PhotoBucket account! (Remember the BotouFuckit Incident?) I noted that both of today's posts' images are less than 800 pixels wide, so they can't be squashed!
` And just what are they? Two more sketches from My Twisted Little World sketchbook! (I'm almost through it by now!) I drew this one after I had moved into the Nautica apartments, which rather ties in with my last Twisted post. In case you cannot psychically guess what robot that is, it's Sonny from the movie iRobot.

` Isn't he so cuuuute? I think he is much cuter than any of the robots from the book, which I also read and found to have almost nothing to do with the movie. (Since the book is a collection of short stories about Susan Calvin running around psychologizing insane robots, I take it the movie is meant to be like an additional short story about her, but enough about that....)
` Well! Drawing that got me thinking about what I would look like as the same model of robot....

` ...but I kinda lost interest. Well, maybe someday....

` Need more to ogle at? Well, I did just upload a bunch of photos (on Free Image Hosting), including some more for the Cattain's Log section on my Abnormally Humorous Photo Gallery! So, if that comes back, you can check it out!

` P.S. This Sketch is not a coincidence in regards to This Photograph! (Assuming you can see it....)

The last of the Twisted 'sketch' trend...

` That's right... these are the end of the sketches here... though there's a few more 'legitimate' drawings after that.
` The first one is a picture of ingenias and an airplane that was being worked on at BeDe Corp... and a cup of Soy Yogurt I was amazed at enough to buy at the Columbus, Ohio Co-Op.

` Then I started to draw Fuze bottles... and those notorious Goya cans!

` This is the last drawing I did before moving to the Pacific Northwest. I lived in a ghetto apartment on 130th St. S.W., from where you could hear gunshots. Of course, you could also see rainbows just about every time it rained, too!

` I lived there for six months, and the day we started packing up to move was the day my Katie cat died. I remember telling everyone, "she'll love the seagulls flying by the windows!"
` Nope.
` She became listless and I took her to the vet... her liver had failed and she'd neglected to tell me. So I had to have her put down - which was somewhat surreal the way the vet's assistant was... never mind that.
` I miss my Kiggy. Of course, I'd moved a couple times since then - and I am probably going to again at the end of the month. Wish me luck!

Back with more Twisted Little World!

` I was around twenty years of age during this time of tremendous... um... healing from horrible pain. And what better thing for me to draw at this time than....

` Isn't it uncanny? (I'm going to pretend there is no potential for puns.)

` And that is but a detail of what is to come. And what is to come? First, we have a blurry (and thus drastically-shrunken) sketch of some Peeing Pumpkins on the Historic Medina Square! (Warning: The website doesn't seem to make much sense.)

` Oh yes, and tables from the evil Cool Beans, which had just taken over the Arabica coffee house.
` Not long after that, I sketched the nearby 57 millimeter cannon from World War II (which I always used to play on as a small child) and then I sat down to a meal at Dan's Dogs with a friend of mine.
` Unfortunately, it's also blurry, but not quite as bad as the last one.

` Oh, and I added some Yoplait Nouriche bottles later on because there just wasn't enough interesting stuff on the square.
` Though they used to give me 'allergic reactions' as it says at the bottom, I later found out that my 'milk allergy' was actually a panic attack that used to strike me after consuming dairy products. I got over it, too!
` But, at the time, I was so into yogurt smoothies that I made a Dannon Frusion pyramid... of DOOM! (I frankly have no idea what the Japanese writing is all about, but trust me, it's quite out of place.)

` There's also one of the last packages from a now-extinct design of Reese's Pieces (rest in pieces!) and a limited edition InsideOut Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (peanut butter on the outside, chocolate on the inside).
` And yes, they do kill Tom... with their rich peanutiness! Tom would be my mom's boyfriend. They live on a boat together in the Atlantic Ocean.

` I don't know what I was thinking, but I was really loving my crackers and my creativity. (Note: This was back when Nabisco Vegetable Thins were shaped like little vegetables!)

` I think the others submitted to the Vegetable Thins' ways after the Chicken in a Biskit cracker couldn't find any eyes to peck out.

` And here we have the page from which the Arizona Green Tea can was derived....

` The Cool Guacamole chips were Lays, which I've just determined from this picture. Well, at least that packaging design is still going!

` Ah, more Tom-killers! The M&Ms of Death! But these are not ordinary M&Ms of Death... they are black and white! (A major news event/marketing ploy!)

` Oh yes, and a Fuze bottle - though not as pretty as the original. (There are a few even more mutated Fuze bottles in this sketchbook.)

` My fav... Starbucks is an evil trickster! That's why I refer to it as 'Starfbucks' - yeah, sure, that's how you pronounce it!

` It made my dinosaur run away!

` Aaaand, now what? It's Figgy the Kiggy, found at the Lafayette Greenhouse! A cute little boy, but hard to draw because he was incapable of refraining from his constant meowing and climbing things.
` His tail was most likely severed in the womb by his umbilical cord, and as a consequence he sees other cats' tails as profoundly interesting. Figgy is also known for sucking his toes, probably because he never got to know his mommy.

` As you can see, he had thought my pencil was also astonishing.

` Now, this was around Christmas, at which I received three boxes of chocolates, I don't remember who they were from.
` I at least made a point to draw them all before I ate them. Wasn't too fond of the white chocolates, though, because they're white and I am a chocolate racist. (As well as a white grapefruit supremacist! I can be so contrary at times....)

` As I recall, it was the wrong gift entirely, as I was struggling with some runaway weight - which went from a lean 120 to a chubby 150 pounds! It was the medication I was on at the time (one that treated an illness I never had) - but at least I switched to this other (also inappropriate) medication that made me throw up constantly for two weeks (thus, preventing me from even taking it any more) and I lost all that weight!

` As you may know, I've long been off the ridiculous medication rollercoaster and am now getting buff - moreso even since my last absurd update on the subject. Oh yeah, baby!

Vada and Violet, take two

` UPDATE: September 7 - I finally did it! Now back to the regularly-scheduled art posts I had in store all this time....

` I have no idea why this image is blue, but here ya go.

` Contrast and compare with the previous post!

` I was originally going to link this to my next 'poor little lost aliens' post, but I keep putting other things in its place. First, I documented my experience as a necrophilia victim, then has an almost-Slaverian guard!
` I promise the next Science and Wackmobiles post will have more 'kittans' - it's been pretty much finished and waiting for an opening!

The Cleveland Art Museum - Sept 1, 2001

` After busying myself with stealing lakes, inventing the iBooger and destabilizing that Steve Ballmer guy... not to mention spending hours doing homework and making solid gold material for my new 'professional science writer' blog, Bethink Avenue, etc, I'm finally back!

` ...With my promised post!

` So here it is; that time I took my sketchbook to the Cleveland Art Museum in Little Italy! ...Though the museum may appear to be crawling with Goya drinks, those were added later to help fill in all the blank spaces.
` We have here various sculptures: There's Varani, a Minqi funerary object (which may or may not look like a dog), a Chinese woman (with PMS, I mused) and a piggybank from ancient Java.

` Yes, it's really a piggybank! It had a slot and everything! Fantastic old things, aren't they? But even more interesting is an ancient Hindu statue that had lost its limbs, around which I drew the statues of the Chinese Zodiac animals... which gave me an idea for a sitcom! (You can click this one for a larger image.)

` Here we have a Fu-dog... having a dialogue with a milkshake that actually caused me to throw up! (Sugar overdose!)

` This, unfortunately, came out a little blurry, but it's a very miserable-looking camel and a Native American on a horse, though I'm not sure who. (The strange-looking object at the top is a bird-infested chair I saw in the courtyard.)

` The second page, which is also out of focus, shows a very comedic interpretation of Jonah and the Non-Whale-Like Whale, where something I'd more call a 'water pig' decides that Jonah needs hot sauce and spits him out (to Jonah's surprise).
` The thing in the upper right corner, if you have not guessed, is the same sort of pig-like creature, saying; "I'm a WHALE? Cool!" (which you prob'ly can't read).

` Then, I have a nectarine, which I drew because it was awesome-looking, and a griffin protecting a lamb. (Past the blurriness, it's thinking 'must... look... fierce!' while the lamb is loving on it.)
` Next post, I think I'm going to dig a few things out of my small notebook, then go back to this one. Ta for now!

Ominous Sketches...

` Ominous because they're leading up to my trip to the Art Museum ...which took place just before the 9/11 attacks - double-ominous!
` And yet, they are kinda mundane and dull. For example, this legion of evil rabbits on their way to laying waste to some kingdom or other....

` ...Too bad I didn't finish that idea, instead preferring to draw this:

` It sure is easier to work on things that are in front of you instead of trying to hold an idea in your mind. At least when you have severe attention deficit disorder.
` Now, I actually tried out SlimFast, partly because I was too damn fat and partly because I was too lazy to eat. As paradoxical as that seems.
` I know it's hard to believe I was once fat (especially after seeing this), but at the time I'm telling you, I was constantly 'outgrowing' all my pants!

` On the next page, we find another one of those animal puzzles, TV cameras from my Tri-C acting class (in which the only acting instruction was 'just do it' with no critique or anything!) and this guy named Phil's insane and scary relatives 'John Baron' and PsychoGrandma.

` To make this post more interesting, I might as well tell you some of the reasons I would call someone PsychoGrandma. One is that, when Phil was a baby, she took all his clothes off and brought him out in the snow after a blizzard and refused to bring him back inside!
` Even more creepy, when Phil was learning to walk, she broke the lock off the knife drawer, bent some kitchen knives at a right angle, and then opened the bottom drawer and put the knives in so they stuck straight up in the air! Apparently she was hoping baby would impale himself!
` She's done tons of other things like putting a string of paper towels right up to the burner of the gas stove while it was on 'high', and it had almost caught on fire before anyone noticed! She also had the malice to scare the hell out of one unfortunate soul while they were holding a huge pot of boiling water, resulting in severe burns!
` ...And of course there was that one time as a child when she allegedly burned down her own home, killing her sister and parents.

` As you can plainly tell, I do not call people psychos without good reason!

` Poor Hoochie! The dog had been found tied to a pole after a severe thunderstorm, so he's always had an extreme fear of them. While I was trying to draw him (in vain, it seems) the rain was lashing down, the thunder was roaring and the power was going on and off. Needless to say he was a bit scared, and I think he eventually hid under the bed.
` Really, though, his main enemy turned out to be 'John Baron' (PsychoGrandma's son), whom I thought needed a little adornment.

` This is actually a sketch of the inside of Tri-C (or Cuyahoga Community College). In a large part of the building, the roof is one huge skylight and there are also small lions occasionally lounging about.
` Or not.

` Aaaand the last page before the art museum; see, there's a foreshadowing arrow on the right....
` So we have this guy named Ron. He had a cool sword and dragony stuff (I even made him a dragon sculpture) and if you'll notice, a gift from Phil's PsychoGrandma.

` Yes, though she had tons of money, she would simply give Phil and his family the crappiest little gifts and make such a big deal out of them as if she was giving them all Ferraris. I'm serious.
` This woman is insane. Of course, this is mostly due to the fact that her husband always refused to let her take her medication. So glad I'll never see them again. And so is Phil's mom, who was the victim of the boiling water spillage and a whole lot more!
` Well, I had better go. The Omininity is driving me insane. That, and I have tons of homework.

Sketches of people I probably won't see again

` Man! I've been enjoying this weekend way too much! Best of all, superhero (and super-sweetie) Lou Ryan and I have completely cleaned the entire apartment (no small feat) and put up a new shelf and a dry erase board where we can chart our plots and schemes!
` At the moment my sweetie is behind me in the morning sunlight, finishing up a book I practically forced on him (The Prisoner of Azkaban). You know, so that the movie makes more sense.
` Hmmm... what did I come out here on this blog for? Oh yes, to show people that I am indeed still alive, and the next few pages of my sketchbook!
` Well, after much rotating and cropping, I have but six new images, all larger-than-blog and thus all clickable (but not lickable). These I drew while over at Phil's old house in Ohio from a Star Wars Episode III CD (yes, even the 'skinny white boy'!).

` Note, however, that there is a song written on there that has nothing to do with the CD - it was written by 'Weird' Al.

` This, which is actually the page before the previous one, shows just who I was hanging out with when I was drawing the Star Wars stuff - Phil and his cousin Matthew....

` Down here is, as you may have read, my mom's brewmeister boyfriend and some cats - our other three besides Katie Girl and Phil's cat Alfie (just before he died). I also think it is ironic that I am now in contact with the guys who wrote 'Fish Heads'!

` And this... this is from some kind of outdoor art class, featuring the other Mat... I mean, Jonathan, whom one can easily get an idea of his sense of humor (and stunning red hair) in this post.

` Here is an iguana and some dead animals from the visitor's center, as well as Katie (who is also now dead), her sister Ashlie, and Hooch.

` Then, we have some norns (don't ask), Hooch, vague images of Figgy sucking his paw, and more of Phil and Matthew spending time indoors.

` You know, I suspect that highway patrolmen really don't have balls.

` Anyway, my Last Sketch of Alfie, creatures, Matthew, Phil disgusted by DragonBall, and a Lotus Elise for no apparent reason.

` ...And that's all before my sketchbook changes subjects.

` And what subjects does it change to? Let's just say that the weirdness levels slowly creep back upward to 'normal' levels, and then they go off the charts!
` But... as I'm doing this in order, I'm not going to plunge into the very weird parts just yet.

That next WEIRD post, right...

` I finally have my head out of the clouds and my feet off the ground - that's right, I'm indoors for once! As I've promised, I have some more drawings from My Twisted Little World that may really be worth a peek!
` As beaten-down, broken and lacking in all spontaneity as I had been in my late teens, it wasn't surprising that for a few years I had a lot of trouble finding subjects to draw in either of the sketchbooks I had at the time.
` But then, I went back to an old habit of mine... drawing commercial packaging! In doing that, I made a nifty little 'ad' for Ivory Soap... inspired by a pet robin I once had.

` That is the rattiest-looking robin I've ever seen! Well, that whole thing was all the detail I had patience for with my ten-minute attention span....

` Next up is my Katie-Girl lying around and being cute (once again), as well as Slim-Fast, Silk and 8th Continent soy milk containers!

` I admit, that's only a little weird, and I'm guessing I had a cocoa-and-soy bean craving at the time, and, probably that was also the time I was twenty pounds heavier than I am now, except without the muscles....

` On the next page I poked fun of the ABC miniseries Dinotopia (2002), which came out around the same time as Walking with Prehistoric Beasts, hence the wandering Chalicothere.
` The point was, I saw that the Brachiosaurus looked like a plastic toy dinosaur! So, to contrast I added my own two plastic toy dinosaurs, and I rather think they look more realistic - at least they would if the Tyrannosaurus was not trying to eat the Troll of Love.
` (It may be of interest to note that I had just gotten a box-full of trolls from a crazy person and spent much of my time distracting myself from my woes by finding ways to destroy them one by one. The Troll of Love, however, was spared for comical decorative purposes...)

` The cat, by the way, is Katie-Girl's sister, Ashlie, who is (amazingly) still alive at eighteen years of age! Also, the boy is... well, you'll see in my next post!

` Last of all I think most people would actually think this is kind of neat because it is a real demonstration of just how much fourteen years of drawing practice can make!
` I have always been a fan of dinosaurs, so, when I found some old drawings from my torturous first grade years I realized that this was a golden opportunity to trace the old drawings and then draw my most recent renditions....

` Apparently, talent does not make one artistic without practice, discipline and refinement... so thank goodness I drew all through elementary school instead of doing my schoolwork! (My PsychoDad didn't let me draw very much at home.) Yes, goofing off to distract myself from my overwhelming troubles actually paid off for once!

` Well, I hope that anyone who saw this post thought it wasn't a total waste of time. I'll be back with more, similar kinds of odds and ends, and then a stimulating trip through an art museum!

Random doodling...

` I've had a very tiring, short-but-hard day, and finally after three days of laying off the internet I am back with more spurious brainchildren (and some more science). It isn't much, though - only the next page-spread in my Twisted Little World sketchbook.
` Boringly enough, there is no epic story or anything interesting as in my last entry, but mere doodlings! However, I find that sometimes doodling can reveal your innermost self... or perhaps it reveals what you're thinking about foremost on the surface.
` Whatever these doodles show, I was evidently taken to watching Daria, which I found to be pretty funny (I also found there is a clip of the week). Strangely - though the show has a more or less opposite sort of look and feel - Daria was originally a background character in Beavis and Butt-head, probably mostly for the purpose of calling her 'Diarrhea'.
` I never would have guessed!

` I think Jane looks good as a cacomistle ...or whatever that's supposed to be. Down here we have my Katie Girl, a guy named Ron, Gourdy wiping up my erasures and... well, whatever it means, it looks concerning.

` Being a mere page-spread, that is all for now, but worry not - I shall be back pretty soon with some proper drawings - and boy is there a lot of weird s*** coming up!
