Ok see… I have never revered Dick Williams like so many animation ppl have. His whole thing has always been about animation for the sake of the CRAAAFT and not animation in service of character and story. Thief and the Cobbler is unwatchable for me yeah I said it.

Honestly, I got the vibe at first trailer that Mando & grogu is squarely aimed at families rather than SW nerds and I am 1000% ok with that. Kids now need the same fun we olds got seeing new Hope.

So when did every single public charging power point on public transport/airport terminals just stop working? Train: Nup. Airport shuttle: Pffft nah. Gate area: Whut?

I am from an era where I went to America, bought actual collectibles from the Disney Store, bought this tape, flew back to AU and organised screenings at Disney 🇦🇺 so we could all watch it together.

Attention Atlanteans! If you’re going to Momocon this weekend, go visit @pauldini.bsky.social !! He’s very nice and if you know old cartoons, he’s even NICER!!

Leveling up. I have a looooong flight later this week and it fits in my backpack.

(order something mundane online in no real hurry): Item arrives 2 days early (order something you’re really really hyped to get and enjoy): Delivery stalls in Idaho for a week.

YUP! It’s been my main gig for the last 15 months. Look- ART!

Went to my first D&D game yesterday and everyone was super nice. Had fun. Today: dammit, another hyperfixation…

As a solo person who can’t consume perishables quickly enough, deep freezer living is a godsend. Meat on sale? Grab some, freeze. Vegetables? Chop, bag, freeze. Milk/cream/butter/bread? Portion & freeze. Save veggie/chicken scraps (freezer!) and make your own stock.

ANYWAY of you think "real" artists are somehow above using reference, I have terrible news for you about Everything you've ever loved

This is infuriating. If you’re stupid enough to refuse to vaccinate your dog, you’re ensuring it WILL be confiscated and euthanized immediately if it catches rabies. Good one. 🙄👍

Every liberal woman over 35

Make sure your pups have their rabies vax. It could save more than their life. Yours too.

The label “Luddite” is going to be completely redefined in the next decade and I’m just signing on now to get it out of the way. Anyone shunning AI, that’ll be us.

"I only use AI for the concept art and prototyping" OH, so only the most basic and fundamental parts, the parts that will literally determine the direction of everything else, just THOSE parts, cool, gotcha

Heads up, comic pros. SDCC now requires REGISTRATION to vote in the Eisners… god knows why 😐 Link & info is here, do it by May 13th.👇 www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne...

Well that was fucking stupid of him wasn’t it? Every Left protest has emphasized non-violence. About NOT giving them an excuse to attack protesters. This idiot chose to ignore that and WELP.

I just want the primary to be over so my YouTube will stop being bombarded with Tom Steyer’s firehose of paid endorsements….

Tonight’s coping mechnism Is old episodes of Mythbusters.. Jamie & Adam are ultimate ‘cat and golden retriever’ energy. Oooh! Junkyard Wars, I need to look those up again too…

I see no lies here

Happy #nationalcartoonistsday Here are my favourite Classic 4

There’s no end of stuff to side-eye Tom Steyer about but his decision to make his logo Star Wars themed is particularly egregious.

I’m the only one in the brewery in costume and they gave me 20% off my drinks cuz May 4th is a big deal here!! 😎😎😎

Surprising absolutely NOONE. GenX & Millenials vibing with the underbelly of a galaxy far far away.

Being at Disneyland every #Maythe4th, it’s always so warming that HALF the vast guest crowds are dressed for Star Wars: from full Jedi robes to a tshirt or lightsaber ears. Star Wars is the greatest folklore of the 20th century.

Vader at Disneyland drawing crowds like TayTay. Problem is the same as with nearly all Vader cosplay: not tall enough.

I was procuring parts.

Only JUST learned that Galaxys Edge has dill pickle salt popcorn and omg this stuff is yum.

I say it is the moon.

May the 4th Be With You…

Old ones on #starwarsday

Do not EVER come into my mentions praising an AI video. Ever.

I have friends who were obsessed with ElecTRONica at DCA… the more times I go and see the Bluey show at Disneyland… I get it now. 💙🧡

Gentle reminder that ol' Uncle Walt was so put off by his animators unionizing and striking that he not only steered Disney away from producing any more animation in the future, but personally tried to sic the House Un-American Activities Committee on participants by testifying before them.

I think I’ve found my vibe: Menopausal GenX woman slapping a cricket bat on her palm. 🖕🖕🖕🖕 So done. SO DONE.

Find who made this and end them.

I look at all the animation ppl dying for work. It’s not right. It’s infuriating. I’ve been a freelancer for 20 yrs. That’s comics for ya. I’m still getting work. BOTH Should be sustainable/essential. Freelancers NEED studio full-timers to create & coordinate our work.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

Name your top 15 fave TV shows ever, gut instincts only: MST3K Bluey Monty Python’s Flying Circus The Muppet Show The Goodies Cosmos (Sagan edition) Ted Lasso Mad Men Marvelous Mrs Maisel Muppet Babies The Big Gig/Fast Forward (90’s Aussie sketch/stand up comedy shows)

Current hobby hyperfixation: digging through Pinterest, Flickr & my own archive and printing stickers out of old ephemera for my journaling. Mmm, pretty!

Thank F***. Keep Joshua Tree crunchy munchy granola!! (Honestly unless you really like hiking there’s noooooot a lot to do in JT! It ain’t Coachella/Palm Springs!)
