You never know when-- or how-- inspiration will strike. I recently made this extreme birthday card for my longtime friend and often collaborator, @gadworks.bsky.social. I seem to recall that he likes Donkey Kong...

DRAMATIC STRANGLE

Not dead! Been quietly squirreling away on personal projects, but I had to at least repost this oldie, given the day...

Aaaand one more. From the sketchbook, markered in digitally.

Richard Williams Ren demands more ones!

Wtf is this? A rave??

One more! This character has floated around between different story ideas over the years... hopefully he finds a home. Also, I am a sucker for timing big actions on twos, like the old WB animators. You don't get to smear as much, but you can see a nice, loud drawing that much longer. 👀

Halloween hijinks with Cherry, my short, pink-haired sort-of-mascot.

Got more comfortable just digitally 'skewing' stuff when I made this animation. Looking at Eddie Trigueros' animatics (among others) showed me the light. 🤩 The scribblier poses were scanned straight out of my sketchbook.

Gonna share some more old animation for lulz. First up... ...Yeah, I have no explanation for this one.

Crash having one of his signature cartoon freakouts, also made custom for @gadworks.bsky.social's Twitch!

Even more animation! A friendly(??) sewer-dwelling Mario for my dear friend @gadworks.bsky.social's Twitch-streaming shenanigans.

This is one of the dumbest comics I've ever written that I've ever been so amused by. Thank you for your continued patronage, folks 😌

One more for today that will probably not catch on the same... Toona is the fish on the left, and Tark is on the right. Hope to present an animatic with them before too long.

Gonna share a hidden gem of a short directed, and chiefly drawn, by Tezuka. I love how anime artists push slapstick comedy conventions in clever new directions Americans might miss. Or maybe they don't, because we've seen so much anime at this point. 😅

Nowadays, with cartoons generally being tightassed and naturalistic-- especially on the feature side-- I feel like making characters in any gender more cartoony and expressive is a moot point. But I remain defiant. Cute people can have big expressions too! (Reposting these from my dead insta.)

When screwball cartoons were back in vogue (let's say 1987-1995), it seemed women in animated movies didn't deviate much from a slim threshold of facial expression and plasticity. Which is lame, because (dated phone-gab routine aside) I find Fred Moore's animation here to be lively *and* cute...

Lastly: Sorry for disappearing for so long, friends. Social media anxiety is real...

Tied this sacrilegious Totoro doodle down using kind of an Eric Goldberg approach, reinforcing the sketch with stronger lines, which I haven't done in literally ages. How did I get so impatient? HOW?? ...Why am I asking you?

More from "Pat-Per Route." Yes... I'm the bastard who boarded this turnaround. (Continued in the reply below.) Sorry, RDK. And thank you.

I liked the gag that I followed this close-to-cam scare with (see reply below). This shot likely didn't make it in because of time. The essence of the gag was preserved, though 😌

More from "Pat-Per Route." Man... ever wonder what happened to mirror mazes after '80s fantasy and spy movies? Don't worry about it, The Patrick Star Show is bringin' 'em back 😎

Engulfment, continued...
