Wendigoon Covers What He Considers the Scariest Disappearance: The Yuba County 5

April 10th: Now available to view for all paid and free members!

In Yuba County, California, in the year 1978, five young men on their way home from a basketball game disappeared with no explanation. A few days later, the discovery of the car they travelled in was discovered, but every other piece of evidence had seemingly vanished without a trace.

I had heard of this mysterious cold case but didn't really know anything about it other than the disappearance of 5 individuals...

Hunters Page 240!

Here it is, another Hunters page! And this one is quite different, as I used a completely different art program to finish this page in the fastest and most efficient way I've ever digitally finished a page!

We can't see Nysha's face, but I think Vashado and Cival's reactions to her very few words speak volumes, don't you?

South Park Season 16 Episode 4! (Jewpacabra)

Coooooomeuppance.

About time that Cartman got that, for once in the series. I mean, it's happened before, but it occurs so infrequently, and a shame that Cartman doesn't get the karma he deserves as often as he should. Though if he did, the comeuppance wouldn't taste oh so very sweet.

What a number of random memories to give me too, this episode. But, stranger things have happened! And it was still fun and entertaining in its own right.

The Great Silence by LEMMiNO Was Surprisingly Fascinating!

April 21st: Now available to view for all paid and free members!

Aliens.

Yeah, that's how I start the video, that's how I start this post too, deal with it!

I've been hoping to watch and analyze some more forensic, mystery, or science-type material again. LEMMiNO has been an excellent source of these for quite some time, from his videos on the JFK Assassination and Roanoke to Dyatlov Pass and Jack the Ripper. But some viewers have actually suggested some...

South Park Season 16 Episode 3! (Faith Hilling)

So we've finally reached it...it's time to discuss MEMES!

Well, sort of.

I grew up in the era of Vine and early YouTube, more or less, but I also grew up in the era of memes, which I believe started out largely as photos only but eventually came to include other things? I dunno, memes were never really my strong point as much as other things.

But cats. And nostalgia! It was still silly and fun, and ridiculous and shocking in other parts. A mix of all kinds of things really!<...

Awakening Audiobook, Part 1!

April 4th: Now available to view for all paid and free members!

I've wanted to experiment with this video idea and format for a while now!

So for anyone who knows, I am an aspiring fiction novelist, particularly in the varieties within the fantasy genre. Awakening was a book I finished back in 2023, I believe, and I have been proud of it since as I find it to be the best version of any story I've written or finished. I've even started and worked on the second installme...

I know, I know, this page is late. The next one will likely be the same, as I got distracted a lot this past week. But at least I'm still a few pages ahead of the publicly available ones!

So yeah, this was a fun page from a character expression standpoint, but just you wait until the next page! I think it's going to have some interesting...questions for readers.

South Park Season 16 Episode 2! (Cash For Gold)

It's ALWAYS a scam! And unfortunately, the elderly are frequently the targets!

What a fascinating episode nonetheless, and one particularly featuring a character that I feel like has not been seen in quite some time. Not only that, but this episode features the most ridiculous and random musical sequence I think I've ever heard in this show so far.

Enjoy!

Please Do NOT Use Apple to Make Purchases via Patreon!

This isn't really a change for Patreon, but more so for Apple. I've known about this for some time but have only recently realized the damaging ramifications behind Apple's change.

In order to keep Patreon in their Apple store, Patreon was required to switch over to their in-app purchase requirements. In basic terms, Apple required Patreon to apply a 30% app store fee to ALL purchases in the Patreon app, both memberships and shop items (for new purchases,...

South Park Season 16 Episode 1! (Reverse Cowgirl)

It's here, Season 16 finally starts! And what a start to a season it is!

I'm surprised at how much commentary I was able to provide for this particular episode since it didn't talk about specific events or people, as far as I know. And yeah, I did go off on occasional tangents here and there, what else is new?

I do mean it when I said I wanted to push for more episodes more frequently, I really really want to play Stick of Truth! It's happening this year, that much i...

Nothin' Otter The Ordinary Episode 7: 7 Days

How very apropos that the seventh episode of Nothin' Otter The Ordinary be called 7 Days, no? It was half-accidental, half-intentional. But I wanted to introduce the general public to Popcorn and Benny before others since I've drawn their animal counterparts before!

And yes, if you've seen the 7 Days videos on my channel, or at least the highlights, you'll know how accurate all of these are. I'm sure Popcorn and Benny would also agree!

Hunters Page 237!

I bring you Page 237, which resulted in a small timeskip of the story! It's morning time, Laruk is tired, Nysha has loads of energy and it's time for a hunt together. But wait, Nysha spots a figure as they're walking along, and it's a character that has been seen before in the comic!

7 Days To Die With The OtterGang is BACK! (Ep. 15)

March 18th: Now available to view for all paid and free members!

Now technically this particular world was from the first full release of the game, and not the most recent version (which is 1.2 I believe?). But that doesn't mean there weren't lots of great moments!

And if you may notice, there's a huge deviation in this particular video: it's edited! Now this doesn't mean I'm getting back into the editing phase of games, but I have convinced myse...

South Park Season 15 Episode 14! (The Poor Kid)

South Park Season 15 ends with a bang! Not literally but it kinda felt like it!

Some of these season finales feel more like just regular episodes, which makes sense and all since they don't have a lot of story to them. But it is nice every once in a while to start or finish an episode on a big note. And at least to me, this felt like a big note.

Cartman's at it again with his usual antics, only this time around they backfire on him. And I feel like I get a lot more characterizatio...

Another Hunters page is finished and ready for your viewing pleasure, right before a timeskip!

Laruk is most definitely still uncertain of the conversation she just heard, but Nysha's got her own ideas and plans. Anyways, little bitty timeskip after this! Can't wait to show off the next couple of pages!

You can bet your butt I was working hard recently to get this page out on time this time around! Hence why it's already released so soon after the previous page!

I wanted to really show Laruk as a lurker as well as a thinker, and I also wanted to show just how much she still has to learn about the pack that has taken her in under their wing. And so folks know, there's gonna be one more page before there's another little timeskip!

South Park Season 15 Episode 13! (A History Channel Thanksgiving)

All I can say to this is......what. The. Hell?

The parodies are [largely] quite obvious, way more than normal. And yet there's still this overarching plot that continues to get weirder, and more and more convoluted as time goes on.

Seriously, how is it that Stone and Parker keep coming up with these nonsensical episode ideas?! I know they're all based on immediate parody in some fashion, but still!

Hunters Page 234!

You know how the last few pages (give or take) have had little to no dialogue? Well, this page makes up for that. By having a LOT of dialogue.

Admittedly, I'm not too happy with how this particular page turned out regarding said dialogue. I'm hoping it's easy(-ish) to figure out how the dialogue is supposed to be parsed together. If not...I may have to make some major adjustments at some point. We'll see!
