"You can say that [orangutans] are not dependent on social support and approval, and if you admire this in them, that an orang is irredeemably his own person, 'the most poetic of the apes', researcher Lynn Miles told me once in an unguarded moments. What she had in mind was the difference between orangs and chimps in the way they carry on their discourse with the world.

Chimps are much admired for their tool use and for their problem-solving relationship with things as they find them...the orang is, let us say, not so replete with enterprise. Give an orangutan the hexagonal peg and the several shapes of hole, and then hide behind the two-way mirror and watch how he engages with the problem.

And watch and watch and watch--because he does not engage with the problem. He uses the peg to scratch his back, has a look-see at his right wrist, makes a half-hearted and soon abandoned attempt to use his fur as a macramé project, stares dreamily out the window if there is one and at nothing in particular if not, and the sun begins to set. (The sun will also set if you are observing a chimp, but the chimp is more amusing, so you are less likely to mark the moment in your notes. An orang observer has plenty of time to be a student of the vanities of sunset.)

You watch, and the orang dreams...when casually and as if thinking of something else, the orang slips the hexagonal peg into the hexagonal hole. And continues staring off dreamily."

I made a rug of my cat. I think it looks a little derpy but it looks pretty close for being a rug!

A special Sunday strip for Greatures # 40! Congratulations, Greatures!

Here are the first few pages of FROGOCALYPSE, my 84 pg original comic inspired by the cute frogs I saw on a backpacking trip and my love of Metal Gear Solid that debuted this month over at @shortboxcomicsfair. It will only be available there through the end of the month (10/31), so check it out if you are interested!

I finished this wild thing in a whirlwind after my first little one was born earlier this year, and I am so happy I stuck with it through the chaos and sleeplessness. Every page is drawn with pencil and ink and colored digitally... The whole thing is totally self indulgent and a little out of my comfort zone, but I am excited to explore this world and its many characters and ideas further in the (hopefully) near future!

visual gags that are well made and smart

[bogleech]

Maybe this is a bold statement and this wasn't even one of my favorite cartoons back then but there's honestly been very little television animation as alive and involved as Ed Edd and Eddie either before or since. John K's era of Ren & Stimpy still gets upheld by some of animation fandom as the most cartoonest cartoon ever cartooned but it's like stiff yogi bear tier animation when compared to any single minute of Eds.

[ropnolcart]

Ed Edd n Eddie's slapstick and visual gags are god tier and they're only further enhanced by quite possibly the most unique sound design out of any cartoon, so much so that it's been made a meme in recent years.

While Ren and Stimpy was being incredibly by the books with its sound effects, Ed Edd n Eddy was adding stock burp sound effects to impacts or yodeling for offscreen characters moments before they crash into shot. It's incredibly surreal even to this day and nothing has ever quite come to match it!
