The Size of it! page 20.

So I was stuffing comix in envelopes to send off to my patient Patrons. I was going down the lists, to make sure that they'd donated over $3.00 for the month ( the threshold for the comix perk).

   And I found a couple-3 of the patrons I was gonna mail stuff to, were gone. They'd dropped off the list without so much as a friendly "fuck you, asshole!". And these weren't 'bots - they were real people with addresses, who had donated generously.

   It made me a little sad...

Sharpe and Graymuzzle in the wastelands.

This week's been a bit of a rollercoaster. Helped a couple friends move. My knees have some spetacular bruises from loading furniture in the moving truck. Went back to work at the Gloo Factory. Which still doesn't have air conditioning. Thankfully, the van I bought from the aforementioned friends does.

   Alas, I can't register and insure it for awhile yet, because a couple unexpected expenses have left my bank account at six dollars and thirty-eight cents.

   That's ...

Drat. I'm running out of clever quips for these. Good thing we're going back to the plot soon.

The Mink in Sex, page 5.

Angelic little old ladies who turn out to be gleefully horny wantons amuse me greatly. Another character who deserves more than a quick reference. Ah time, give me TIME to draw all these damn ideas!

The Mink in Sex, page 4.

I should do more with the Asian couple.....they're a happily kinky pair of lil' critters.

The Size of it! page 19.

Okay, I like busty women in tight maid costumes with no underwear. Believe me, there are stranger tastes out there.

   And just to be clear: I mark these posts "Patrons Only", not to be elitist, but to keep Patreon from tossing me off the rolls for porning at possible puritans. All non-sexy posts are visible to everyone.

Summer breeze Mink.

Drat - my Patreon support dropped to under a grand a month. Seems a number of the new pledges were 'bots, sent out by some entitlement-crazed troll called "Sibe" to loot Patreon pages wholesale. Without contributing, of course - the names and credit card numbers were all fake.

   His manifesto states that having to pay for art subverts "the control we want to have over our lives", among other raving nonsense. I'll have to try that line down at the supermarket - paying for groceri...

I wonder what it would be like to look so hot, that you can seduce pretty much anyone by crooking your finger at them? Life would be a little different, I'm thinking.....

The Mink in Sex, page 2.

How did that line go? "If you really want to test a man's character, give him power".

The Mink in Sex, page 1.

As "The Size of it" moves away from sheer sex, the Mink moves towards it. I swear the timing is a coincidence!

The Size of It! page 18.

Yeah okay, I think people get the idea. Next week we go back to the thin excuse for a plot.

Listen Carefully

Yeahhhh....this whole month has been crazy. But today was crazy with nuts on top. Sheesh! Got roasted by the sadistic Mr. Sun, which I'm convinced is deliberately trying to kill me.

     But for the next couple days, I'm going to do nothing but curl up under the air conditioner and draw cartoons. So there!

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 11.

Holy screaming fucking shit! ....I mean, Oh my golly gosh gee whillikers!....Although the idea of a steaming turd giving out a high-pitched scream as it's raped by some corpophiliac IS kinda funny. Where was I?

   Oh yeah, y'all remember I asked for a short delay in mailing out your rewards, as I completed some comix? I just looked up, and the damn month is almost over! I'll be mailing out the NEXT set of rewards in a week or so. Geez!

   My profound apologies to thos...

If I woke up to find my topless daughter working on my liver with magic, I would find it unusual. That mild sleep spell was a mercy.

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 9.

Having a knack for something isn't worth much if you don't put in the work to develop it. Nothing's as common as wasted talent. Forexample, I sure wasn't born with the ability to draw well: It took many years of practice to develop this skill.

The Size of it! page 17.

A Patron expressed interest in seeing Bull O'Brannon in this story, so here ya go with a cameo. As I've said, I like to keep my Patrons happy. So please don't be shy with the feedback. What do you like,  what do you want to see here?

Panels from Toon script

Ohhhhh boy, has today been busy! But I still remembered to post something on Patreon. My CRS hasn't completely melted my brain yet!

We are what our environment made us. Nobody is a hero - or a villain - in a vacuum.

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 7.

Parents don't get to decide exactly what kind of adult their kids turn into. Not in detail, anyway.

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 6.

Yeah, flashing your dad is kinda awkward. But Laura loves the poor ol' soul (he did his best when she was growing up), and is desperate for some way to help. There are few things worse than watching your loved ones die slowly, being quite unable to help them in any way.

The Size of It! page 16

Is it a sign of me becoming old and boring, that I often find the events leading up to the humpin' more interesting to read about than the actual poles-in-holes part?

Animation progress.

In an hour or so, I'm heading out to Costco to score a monitor for the Mac Mini that will hopefully become my animation machine.

   Meanwhile, I'm thinking of tying Savage's intro animation to Tina's, by showing him hauling out and unfolding a stepladder, before we zoom back and reveal he's using it to climb close enough to kiss Tina's nose. Shows how he doesn't let minor physical limitations stop him?

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 5.

Sorry how long it's been taking me to ship people their comix (or e-mail them their PDFs). I put everything aside to finish a book for JPFO (Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership). But that book's in the assembly stage now, so I hope to have PDF-ing and stamp-licking time this weekend.

The "extreme makeover" folks got nothin' on Laura Waller.

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 3.

She speaks the truth. Say your piece while the person concerned is alive to hear it. No-one lives forever. Not your mommy, not your daddy, and not you.

The Size of It! page 15

Yeah, this is silly funny-animal exaggeration, played for laughs. But admit it: If this technology existed, it would be abused in just this way.

Tina's intro storyboard.

Whoops! Almost missed the Saturday posting. Foof - problem with setting up animation is that it's not very visual, until after you've got some of it done. So while I'm scoring a monitor, setting up software, learning how to use it, and edd-ceddera, I'll post bits of the storyboards, scripts, idea sketches, key frames and what-not, until I got enough Flash skillz to actually tie that together into a cartoon.

    Oh....and then there's the soundtrack. I'm gonna have to ...

The Mink in Hometown Blues, page 2.

Yup, this was drawn before the Internet became all-pervasive. People still wrote each other letters on hand-delivered paper.

Animation!

So! I've just been paid a couple bucks over $1.000 thru Patreon. THANK YOU! Which activates the "If my fans pledge thousands, rather than the hundreds I'm expecting, I'm gonna start making animated cartoons!" promise. It's somewhere on the front page, I think.

   So instead of rubbing your money all over my sweaty body, like a normal person would do, I'm gonna start getting my pictures to move. So! First hardware I'm gonna get is a monitor for the Mac Mini I hope to do a bunch of the...

I think I know why so many comix heroes are orphans. Family means a whole slew of obligations and complications. Limits the hero's freedom of action?
