And we’re on!! Hello to each and every one of you tuning in now! Lets pick up this next viewer query session, shall we?

This is the best place to start, I should think!! Yes!! -ahem!-

To set the record straight, I am in fact very much still alive. And well too, let’s not forget that!!!

Now, I know it’s been a while; FAR too long even, but I wouldn’t just up and keel over! ahah, I mean! Not when theres so much…thneedery and such to be done!!

No, no, no…I’ve been here all along! Right here toiling away in my factory just as usual! I had to budget my precious time for a time y’see, and surely you know how I am about budgeting by now!

Uhm..…Real strict about it, for the unaware!

But!! Now that all that is now done and over with, you all get to see my aliveliness on full display once more! And I must say, your enthusiasm has not gone unnoticed, nor unappreciated!

Yes, yes, this is all for you, dear Dizzy anon and dear viewers! You need not hope or pray any longer!

….

….it…isn’t my sudden reappearance on the scene thats dizzied you so…I hope???

Not bad! Not bad at all!! What an ensemble we have here!

[ennyh]

👁‍🗨 Some time ago i stumbled upon @the-cheapskateler-show and that ask-blog really amazed me! The artstyle, the description/writing on the posts have incredible quality, can't stop spinning it in my head. I'd love to write some more compliments about this blog, but my word knowledge isn't that big! 👁‍🗨

[the-cheapskateler-show]

Why, thank you!! Thank you very much! I do always aim to put on a top quality show here!

AND MY! What an exquisite rendering of yours truly!! This aught to be framed! And it will be! Just like the others!

“We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a very important message…”

((Everything beyond this point is out of character!!))

Hello everyone, Cheapmod here! Many of you reading this probably have not met me, so hello! Nice to meet you! 👋 You can call me Py if you’d like!

Right off the bat, I just want to make sure nobody worries since this post got kinda long. Here’s the gist of it!: Cheap’s blog is going to be continuing! It has not ended, and it won’t be for some time. I want to thank you all for sticking around and giving this blog so much love, and I encourage you to seek out additional askblogs you would enjoy cause there are many out there to love!

Okay with that out of the way, some further context for that and other things I just wanted to take the chance to say while I’m speaking out of character.

First, Im so sorry to anybody who’s been worried about Cheap, the state of this blog or me. I promise, we are both okay and this blog is continuing!

I just took an unanounced break from ALL my projects to focus on approaching art and writing more healthily. I was on break for longer than I thought I might be but I have not stopped thinking of Cheap and all of you out there. I am planning on returning to bring Cheap back to everyone soon! As a heads up, I will be experimenting more with the art style for this blog just to see if I can make things a little more quick and fun for myself!

As for the esteemed host of the show, Cheap is doing just fine! Nothing has happened to him since the last update. I would like to note that the real life passage of time will not always affect him. I will need to take breaks like this every now and then for my own sake and other priorities. If that happens, we will generally pick up right where we left off! I’ve also got many fun and interesting things planned for this blog, so I couldn’t possibly stay away for too long!

Now for something very important…you guys!!

I cannot thank you all enough for the incredible reception Cheap has recieved!! It means so much more to me than I can possibly express in words and seeing every last bit of it has really warmed my heart 🥺 Thats why its very important that I come back and make sure all the wonderful questions, comments and compliments you’ve sent in are responded to and addressed in time!!

As WELL I am so delighted that I have been seeing some incredible pieces of fanart from you guys!!!! I REALLY want to thank you each individually as i have been doing so far!! The reason I haven’t said anything yet about any fanart is because I want to give each one the dedicated attention it deserves!!! And that will be coming soon and coming first with the continuation of the little intermission we started on for giving these works a highlight!

All fanmade creations will be tagged as: #viewer-art-showcase! and I encourage everyone to check out the pieces there and especially the artists behind them!! I will be providing a link to this tag for easy access in blog description soon after this post goes up.

Another thing I’d like to mention before I wrap up here is I am posting this on an significant day for Cheap! On this day, Nov. 26th 11 years ago, I started Cheap’s first blog! With some hiatuses and pauses in-between, Cheap will have been around for 11 years. I can hardly believe it! I’m very happy to be running his blog again with this little revival here and Im so happy I made a character who has had a chance to develop so much and endured as one of my favorite OCs. It is in large part thanks to all the support and attention he’s received through all these years across all his blogs that I bring him to you all today and im so grateful to all new and longterm fans. I hope you will all continue to enjoy Cheap’s shenanigans as much as I do! Thank you!!

Lastly, I just want to encourage everyone reading this to check out ANY of the other ask-blogs that Cheap interacts with on here! I realized its not very easy to visit these blogs due to the way i’m answering asks with screenshots, so I will go back and provide @ mentions and links to previous posts.

But better yet, there are SO many awesome askblogs out there to discover well outside his blog so make sure you don’t miss them!! A great place to check out is the #lerkimpails tag for new and returning askblogs! If there are any other newer specific tags for askblogs in use that you know of, feel free to drop those in the replies of this post-im still a bit of a fandom oldie here… heh heh.

There are so many creative askblogs out there to discover and meet and they can all always use more attention and asks. This fandom and even this little corner of it are what they are because of the collective efforts of everyone on this platform inspiring and supporting one another, so be sure to make others feel welcome and appreciated and just go enjoy what they have to offer!!

Thank you everyone for reading this far! I mostly want to leave the hosting on this blog to Cheap, so there wont be many OOC posts like this, unless theres anything i really gotta clarify. Still, you will find me around in the tags now and then for sure. 🦋✨

We will get this show a-rolling again real soon! Hope to see you all then!

HAH! So THAT must be what your brain looks like when you tune into my show!!

[the-cheapskateler-show]

Hi cheap, i know you might be busy at the moment, but heres a free quick drawing i made for you :)

Oh WOWEE!! I’d never be too busy to appreciate some fine and FREE art!! You’re all very inspired by me, aren’t you?

Heheh…Gosh…This is so. SO incredible…I mean, would you look at that! Its me!

Now you know what I’ve got to do, right? I’ve got to find a place to put these up for all to see!!

[AWH, shucks… Don’t you worry! I never let any sort of insult get me down!]

I mean, I can’t tell you WHERE id be if I didn’t. Certainly not right here being complimented by my adoring fans!!

I love you bro, im a big fan of the lorax fandom i love the onceler

[the-cheapskateler-show]

!!!

[the-cheapskateler-show]

I….okay. I have to confess; You’ve got me a little teensy bit baffled here.

See, when you came in swinging like that, I really thought this was one of those “thinly veiled threats” - with the veil being one of…Absurdity???? Cause you know, im not like a little flingable ragdoll…im over 6 feet tall here- im not a little man by any means.

Sure, maybe the TV makes me look small but don’t let that deceive you! If you did meet me in person I think you aught to be looking for the tallest guy in the room.

Uh, but I’m not done! See, whats really throwing me for a loop here is that last bit. I just cannot see what part of this scenario is expressing any sort of affection.

I think, maybe if you poured that…milk…into a glass instead and you presented it to me that way and patted me veeeery gently on the head—though just the glass of milk would do for me, then…you know!! That would be??…better??? You following me here?

Errrrr..but I dunno…maybe it’s just me. Perhaps some folks do like a good ole slammeroni into the wall now and then. Im just not built for that. Sorry???

[thebestbatz]

[the-cheapskateler-show]

Well, now that you mention it-what sort of talk show host would I be if I did not…?

Haha, Er, that is to say…! I’d be delighted; no, it would be my pleasure to host some interviews on my show!!

But……………perhaps now would not be the best time for guests…

…Y’see, I’m..-er, AHEM. We’re doing some VERY major renovations here at the factory and it just isn’t safe for us to have many visitors in here. I am telling you; it is NOT very pedestrian friendly here at all. Even I have to be really careful around here and I for one know this place like the back of my hand!

But don’t worry about it! It won’t be forever! We will be up and running as normal and maybe then we can make that another enticing feature and reason to tune into The Cheapskate-ler show!

In the meantime we have PLENTY of viewer inquiries to get to, so stay tuned!!!

[ducky-beth99]

[the-cheapskateler-show]

Ah! Now thats more I like it.

Alright Tetonceler, lemme let you in on a little something…

The best way to remain on budget…

Is to run a ONE man show!!

Thats right! At this very moment, Im wearing the hat of the host, producer, stylist, lights, promotion-the WHOLE shebang!!

See, what I lack in this production’s scope I make up for in quality entertainment.

Its all about D.I.Y! What you do is ask yourself this: If I can do ‘insert job position here’, why should I pay anybody else to do it? Sure, that may be someone’s whole specialty but you can be a jack of all trades!-including theirs.

In addition, that right there is one of the best ways to pick up a new skill! You can even build your setup from found materials and it gets the job done! My big flashy show sign for instance? Entiiiiiiirely self-made from materials I already had lying around. AND the best part? I didn’t have to shell out even a CENT for it all! Do you have any idea how much a big flashy show sign usually costs?? A MINT. Thats what.

So really all you’ve gotta do is make all sorts of show stopping effects for your musical shows all on your own! All it takes is a little bit of resourcefulness. But I’m sure you will find if you give it a try, you will create something to take pride in.

AAAAAAAALLLLRIGHT!!! Lets hear it for THE very first question of the show, folks!!! C’mon!!

Oh LET’S SEE!! LET’S SEE!! Lessee, lessee here…hee heh..

…,,,

huh.

….hhhardly a question now, is it? -Not that we don’t accept general statements and er…proper compliments here on the Cheapskate-ler Show. Ohh..far from it.

Come to think of it…if you; Good Sir, did intend that as a compliment to the great and time consuming efforts I put into my appearance, then….I graciously accept that.

Otherwise. *sighh...* We are just. We are just moving right along to the next one. [hobo-ler]

[the-cheapskateler-show]

Now, it will be easy to catch you up to speed, as this whole production will work just how you remember it! Only now with a little extra flair provided by yours truely. You can expect to have answers, entertainment and engagement! Just drop me a line! You can call in, write in or send in whatever you please!-although we have certain standards to uphold here, so do keep that in mind. I will be filtering out anything of the...’Unsavory insectoid’ variety....

That being said though!! I am your host and I’m here to share with you more of my own anecdotes and certifiably dough-saving budgeting tips! I use them myself, so you can bet I know what I’m talking about.

No matter the case, what we have coming up on our show is as much up to you as it is to me!

Without further ado, lets get this show a-rolling!
