Crapstick Doodle: Episode 11

Ten neat little things! Go!

1. As I write this, I'll be quitting my job 45 minutes from now, as I just got a new job. I'll go from making about $350 a week with no benefits to about $600 a week with full benefits. I guess that's a slight upgrade.

2. As the title screen says, this cartoon is a rehash of an old blog post where I made a bunch of "Rock out with your cock out" type jokes. As a matter of fact you'll find that virtually every episode of CSD contains a repeat or a modification of a joke I've previously come up with. I think this is true for most comedians. By my count the average comic comes up with about three original jokes over the entire course of their lives, and everything else is just some variation.

3. I fucking forgot to draw Gary's beard on the title screen again. Goddammit.

4. Speaking of that character, by some coincidence, everytime I make an episode that features Gary, he always ends up being the thumbnail. Fortunately, his hair is cooler than the brown mop that Corey has, and the six upright pubes that Murph rocks out, so it's okay, although I think the more unique images like the puking cat or Gary rubbing his dick on a phone would potentially attract more views.

5. I'm pretty sure the image I used for the baseball stadium is taken from Comercia Park in Detroit where the Tigers play. I was going to draw a bunch of other fans in the background but didn't bother since you only see the wide shot of all three characters for like 2 seconds anyway, and I didn't use an image of a crowded baseball game because I thought the cartoon characters next to real people would look weird. Not that it's a huge deal since sparsely attended baseball games are pretty common anyway since they play 162 of the fuckers every year.

6. Speaking of terrible baseball teams like the Tigers, I've noticed that black people tend to wear the hats of terrible teams more often than not. In my experience, the three most popular teams among black guys are the Detroit Tigers, Washington Nationals, and Kansas City Royals.

7. One time I went to a Major League Baseball message board and asked them why black people seem to be fans of terrible teams and the most telling response I got was, "Silly white boy. Black people don't wear hats because they're fans." Thank you for helping me with that.

8. Miller beers give me the shits. Really, really, really bad shits.

9. I might be off the mark here, but I think my mad MS Paint skillz are actually improving. I guess that would happen after making 11 cartoons, but that first shot where the seats overlap in front of the characters almost looks decent.

10. You can't tell because I always have a character standing in the way, but in the image that I frequently use for Corey's apartment, there's actually a tiny Asian kid wrapped up in a sleeping bag in the background.
