It's been so long since I had a gig and the Animation Guild is raising their dues. Have to consider "Honorable Withdrawal" if not outright dropping out, but I sure hope it doesn't come to the latter.

Let’s make it a trend!

On my way to my job at Oscar Meyer with the demand we rebrand deli slices to "meats sheets." Wish me luck.

It'd been a fun bonding experience with the kids when I find a game that clicks with them and they watch me play, but I haven't had an income since September. Been going through my back catalog to see if anything works for them. Banjo-Kazooie seems cartoony enough for them so far.

Oh, Bill KNEW this problem was sticking around if this came out despite the lead time Sunday comics require.

A 2020s media survival skill is sensing when the video essayist seems to be going off on an odd tangent and realizing the ad read is about to hit like a brick.

'Ey, I'm walkin' on sunshine here!

(1/2) Is there anyone looking to fund a newly out trans lady to make cartoons? Because making cartoons is all I know how to do. I've done storyboards and animation professionally (although the former was like a decade ago)...

(2/2) ...but I've also done screenwriting and voices for my own indie stuff. I'm available for that too!

Where does your Indie Animation take place?

Wendy's used to be my favorite fast food, but it's gotten so awful the past couple years.

I've taught my autocorrect that swear words are real, but it still doesn't believe me if I use the word "lesbian."

As a (former?) member of the entertainment industry, I feel especially fucked over.

“If you’re trans, you have to live” extends to “if you live, you can enact revenge”

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

Sometimes it feels genuinely embarrassing how long this took for me to figure it out.

Do I need to request to be in Bsky Starter Packs, or is that tacky?

I can't believe this is real. How many indie things have gotten big enough to get into Fortnite before?

Y'know, when I drew the Evil Josh background for the White House and replaced the fountain with a Scrooge McDuck money pit, I thought that was enough of a comedic escalation. How wrong I turned out to be. You can't out-satire reality anymore. That's why everyone's exhausted.

Post a cartoon you remember that nobody else remembers

That moment when a channel that you used to watch regularly starts using Al thumbnails.

Well, good luck with the use of gen-a.i., Square. It would blow steam out of its proverbial ears trying to "draw" this dress.

As someone who used to work on licensed comics (Rugrats, Cartoon Network etc) it absolutely blows my mind that stuff like this is going out on official products. We'd get dragged over the coals if a spot colour was one Pantone reference out. Now? Sure, Donald has seven fingers. Why not?

bottom surgery for trans teens is an easy thing to fearmonger about but it’s also easy to push back on rhetorically. “no one is doing SRS on teens!” is a weak argument that is also not true and throws trans kids under the bus. “teens can consent to life saving healthcare, dipshit.” is true

The Goode Family feels like it was written after reading comments. King of the Hill feels like it was written after meeting people.

This was one of the few things that looked genuinely unique, and we'd already seen it announced. At least there's something.

The modern landscape is so bleak, even a Nintendo Direct left me blah. Just the milkest of toasts.

Doug taught kids about gender dysphoria.

Mario Paint is still fun for my kids decades after its release. Nintendo really should make a new one now that their latest console has built in mouse controls. I guess that's my pie in the sky for tomorrow's Direct, and I didn't even expect to feel that way.

Here's a tasty taste of the upcoming "Evil Josh & Billy" anniversary special coming this year, but I need your help! If you can spare a dime, please help fund the project here: ko-fi.com/drawncoyote

Any writing, really.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

"6/9, dude!"

Man, I knew this was gonna happen, but was still worried I'd be wrong. Glad to be wrong about being wrong!

I wouldn’t want to be Disney right now🤭 #TADC #Backrooms #Obsession

Artists! Quote with your red art

Interactive B-movies? Yes, please.

"hm? oh me? yeah I work with the moving pictures. I prefer the term toonsmith"

O:

The absolute audacity of Disney to tote this on their service while censoring Win Or Lose, straight-washing Elio, and deleting the trans episode of Moon Girl.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

With animation, not only do you have to understand movement and physics, but you have to interpret movement. How personality and mood and thought manifests physically in ways you can read. What is the rhythm of a type of person. It's part actor, part choreographer, part body language analysis.

Oof, looks like the Naked Gun reboot brought back the screwball comedy only for the Scary Movie reboot to kill it back off again. 😬

As divisive as Sonic Lost World was, it was sadly the last time I was completely enamored by a brand new Sonic soundtrack. Mania and Generations sounded great, but were mostly remixes.

Rest In Power

20 year old director with the number 1 movie in america just said “this shit fucking sucks” while every old hollywood fuck decides that the only way to stay relevant is to burn their legacy at the ritual pyre that is ‘generative ai’ almost poetic

Damn. RIP to a real one.

“we told you so” is unfortunately deeply unsatisfying in the face of what we told you
