A special FReeptoon
With Christmas coming and going, I honestly figured this week that I kind of deserved a little break (not much of a break, since some of these were harder to make than my usual toons). Instead of making my usual FReeptoons, I decided to do something special for today: special, genuine hand-crafted ZOT GRAPHICS!!! You know we all love them. You know we all can’t get enough of them.
I made four personally hand-crafted graphics for the special occasion of sending trolls to their well-deserved graves. Feel free to use these or send them to any friends as much as you want; they should play a valuable service in our on-going war against the fiendish trolls.
Sorry about the size, everyone.
And now for another big announcement. This one will take some explaining.
Years ago, in my last year of high school, I created and drew a cartoon series, a non-political one, about a boy’s misadventures during…high school. Loosely based on my own life, the strip was entitled “The Dinkelmeyer Zone.” The main character, Freddy Dinkelmeyer, was in the grand tradition of Charlie Brown a lovable loser whom nothing but bad things happened to. But he always remained optimistic and never learned his lesson.
The strip was very informal: I simply drew it in a notebook with pencil. It started out by doodling in class but evolved into something more. If anyone wanted to read it, they would walk up to my desk and look over my shoulder or ask to see the whole notebook. It was actually very popular and well-liked in all of my classes.
Now for the announcement: I am taking a poll to see if any of my FReeptoon readers would like to see “The Dinkelmeyer Zone” as well. If you would like to see them, send me a FReepmail or leave a post here: either one is fine. If at least ten people say they would like to see it, starting next week, I will dig up my old notebook from the closet and start running the strip along with my FReeptoons as sort of a bonus toon. Don’t worry: it will not interfere with the FReeptoons themselves.
Hopefully this isn’t my jump-the-shark moment. I’ve only been doing this a few months!
I must warn ahead of time that the Dinkelmeyer cartoons are not very well drawn. They were really just advanced doodles in class. But I was told by loyal readers and classmates that the writing was very funny and got a lot of laughs. The strip was started as a personal expression of loneliness and poignancy, but at some point it took a turn and became funnier, goofier, and more cartoonishly outrageous.
That is all. Enjoy.
Whew! I only have to hang in until Friday. I wasn't sure I could make it until next Tuesday.
That's good!
I will begin by showing two of them at a time, and as things progress, I will move it down to one.
Hey babe!
Love the donkey one! (Can't wait to see the Friday bonus material - although it will probably be on Saturday when I pull my hung-over butt out of bed).
Hey, you're back! Hooray!!
I know, I was out of commission for a while....
Now, back among the FReep world!
I saw your picture on the last Walter Reed counter-protest thread. If that's the same Hoodlum91, of course.
I showed it to Paul_Denton. He said he loves your smile..*wink *wink.
Good evening! I was wondering where you were :)
I wish any woman was THAT interested in me *sigh*
You boys are too funny!
OK, I just saw the picture in question.
Besides the incredibly dorky half-grin, the Rudolph antlers REALLY add to the sexiness of that picture!!!! Have I mentioned that I'm the least photogenic person that ever existed?
It looked REALLY cold out there that night. You people really brave the elements to stick it to code pinko.
We were joking that I was going to pick up a DC cop because of the incredibly sexy antlers.
Heh heh, yeah, the antlers would have definitely done it. That's the first thing I notice when looking at potential mates: what kind of antlers do they have?
