“I’ve never been into video games all that much. I tried, but I just couldn’t. It’s my hands, you see. Too clumsy to push all those buttons…

But my wife? Oooh, my wife is into games n*big time*! A real pro-gamer. Just last night she was telling me how she joined one of those e-sports teams. Can you imagine that? An entire sports centered around video games? Amazing, isn’t it?”

The PVC Man, Plastic Sam! A very spiffy plastic man tribute with glyos joints. Perfect choice to use for #modulartoys mixand match limbs and a consistent red colorway with occasional light skin and yellow/black striped belt. I am not sure which weird noggin I prefer, but the shield or the belt are certainly up there.

I found out that there is a large percentage of #qanon people in the #bigfoot community. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise, but it did.

If you are a Q goon, I want you gone from my feed. I am happy to have fun with most #cryptid folks, because even if we don’t share most beliefs, the weird critter aspect can be a good time.

If you honestly buy into those pro-45 conspiracy items that are just rooted in poor sportsmanship at best, (dire racism and stupidity at worst), I can’t even look you in the eye without wanting to throw up. To my friends in the cryptid community, nip this in the bud. If they aren’t dealt with, you will be riddled with people that only hurt others and embrace cruelty, and those that prefer love and light hearts will vanish.

If I see that stuff on any of my feeds, at the very least I will delete and block any feed that embraces that redcap brain rot.

Social distancing day 507, went on a quick promenade to the wetlands.
It was a nice morning (maybe mid-70sF in the shade) for a #swampwalk , even better with my lovely cohort @maximillian_deersteak.

#bogsafari critter count was low on the visual end. I had a little talk with the little hound dog / beagle pooch that lives at the end of the street.

Audibly, we heard osprey chirp, toads e-string pluck, frogs, cicadas, and the occasional mosquito buzz.

Max found a few interesting oyster mushrooms and discarded bottles along the way.

Is it just me, or does the wizard Shazam look like Nicolas Cage here?

“Gaze upon that which is written yonder and you shall know what that name means.”

It all started when…

​Max Fleischer was working as the Art Editor for Popular Science Magazine when, in 1915, he filed a patent application for a contraption he called the Rotoscope. Convinced that he could improve the jerky, jumping quality of early animated films, Max set out to create a mechanism by which animators could use live action film as a guide for their drawings, giving animated characters more fluid, life-like movement.

With the Rotoscope built and Dave, Max’s younger brother, playing the featured role of the clown… & after a year of painstaking work, a one minute film would change animation forever.

Years later, Fleischer would rotoscope Cab Calloway and more magic was created than we can comprehend. St. James Infirmary Blues. Old Man of the Mountain. Minnie the Moocher. and more!
