Crapstick Doodle Episode 7








It's episode 7! I like this one. Ten fast facts:



1. I quit one of my jobs, bringing my weekly time at work from 60 hours to a mere 40. At the time that I put in my two weeks notice I had all of these grandiose plans for my free time such as trying to get a book published, writing and producing a movie, developing a TV series, putting forth tireless effort to get a new and fulfilling job, and filling some of my spare time with volunteer work, but my to do list ended up being nothing but lists of TV shows I've missed over the last 3 months that I want to catch up on. Denny Crane's antics sure as hilarious!

2. The song that plays at the beginning is "Wild Packs of Family Dogs" by Modest Mouse, which is lyrically balls-out fucking insane even by their standards.

3. Gears of Resistance is a combination of Gears of War for the Xbox 360 and Resistance: Fall of Man for the Playstation 3. The joke is that every fucking video game is about future space marines. A HA HA HA HA!!! IT IS SO FUNNY!!!

4. In the world of Crapstick Doodle, wearing anything besides black shoes, blue pants, and a sweater that bears the first letter of your name is punishable by waterboarding.

5. I originally planned this episode to take place during a zombie apocalypse with Corey and Murph trapped in a hallway with three zombies, two of which are white and one being black. Murph shoots the two white ones and then refuses to shoot the black one, explaining that he wants it to turn him black. I scrapped the idea because I have no goddamn clue how to draw action scenes.

6. My girlfriend and I should be closing on a home sometime in the next few weeks. The house was up on an estate sale, and my girlfriend made a ridiculous lowball offer that was $11,000 below the asking price and they actually accepted it. When we toured the place most of the dead guy's shit was still there, and the one thing that really caught my eye was Bad As I Wanna Be, the autobiography of Dennis Rodman. The cover shows Rodman sitting on a motorcycle naked with a basketball covering his junk. This is the first time I've said that I wished I had known someone better when they were alive and genuinely meant it.

7. I tried to post an image of the book cover, but I'm back home visiting my parents, and their computer only has Internet Explorer, which is a retarded vomit covered pile of cowshit and it won't let me put the image where I want to.

8. The censored image is a still from the disgusting 1980 horror film Cannibal Holocaust. I censored it because while I wasn't offended by it, the image was really too gross to belong anywhere near a video that's intended to be funny.

9. Doing all of the voices myself and lightly disguising them by changing the pitch started out as a stylistic choice, but for this video it went from a choice to necessary, because I don't have any black friends who would be willing to come in and record dialog for me.

10. I draw the characters slightly differently in each cartoon, and in this one it looks like Corey gained about 70 pounds from episode 5 to this one.
