it was a rough month, y'all.
right at the start of January my tablet went bonkers on me and it took me a while to figure out why
but in the end it turns out it was the stylus.
the default stylus had just finally drawn its last line. poor thang.
I've had the tablet for a year + now. well past its warranty, and past it yummy tablet prime?
that's a thing right?
unfortunately while I waited for my new stylus to come in the mail I couldn't work on stuff like Myth of Eustro chapter 6
or the monthly monster stickers i send out through patreon, Goblyn chapter... wait, no...
I did work on Goblyn. in some Side Stories projects.
hee hee
those have been fun, partly because I really wanted to get these stories out there and also because I hadn't used an actual pencil on actual paper in... about a year now.
wow.
anyhoo, the new stylus finally came in, and I'm back to working on Eustro chapter 6 and Goblyn chapter 49.
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the Side Stories though.
heh
heh heh
ha ha ha
haaah haaah hah
MWA HAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
ahem.

Why Goofy can talk and Pluto can't? A video essay.
“The Clothes are Magic.” is a video essay where I travel through the animation history of talking cartoon animals to propose an answer to the question of why Goofy talks and Pluto doesn’t. The answer is that the clothes are magic! This is why Mickey Mouse has a pet dog named Pluto and a best friend named Goofy who is also a dog. Goofy wears clothes and Pluto doesn't. From just a shirt to shoes and even those iconic white gloves. YES, this is totally the answer to why cartoon characters wear gloves. The Gloves are Magic. Cartoon animals wear clothes because it grants them sentience. It gives these furry little cartoon creatures self awareness, a consciousness that lets them walk, talk, and build a furry cartoon society. With the Walt Disney company celebrating their 100 years of wonder and Warner Bros 100th anniversary happening too, I thought it was finally time to talk about this weird Idea that explores over a century of talking cartoon animals. From Mickey Mouse to Donald
End of an era... The end of Flash player
Seeing the news that Flash Player is going to no longer be supported across the internet after 2020 made me feel... Weird. The internet I came up on, that I created in, that I made new friends all over, was a flash player internet. It made me think about all the comics that I created between 2009 and 2016. It made me think about all of you who showed me and my work so much live and support over the years. I know a large chunk of y'all have grown up since those old days, you have jobs, kids, college, a busy life full of wonderful, weird and new things. I know some of you might want to go down memory road some day, with series like Goblyn or Myth of Eustro and I've made sure you can go back and read the chapters if you want to, by restoring and backing up all the chapters on the old Smars Comics site. @https://goblyncomic.blogspot.com/ Unfortunately I can't do the same to the comics here on dA because you can only edit a file with the same file type. Which is weird. But that means
Smars Talks | Following Up, Follow Through
It's been a long time since I did one of these videos and I had thoughts rumbling around in my head all night. I realized that I ended the comics Goblyn and Myth of Eustro in very harsh ways and critical story points... I definitely regret it but going cold turkey might have been the best way to pull myself out of depression and my seeking to ignore the problem by making art. So here I am in 2020 grey haired and a bit older, happier and with a finished episode of TRPL 5 under my belt. seriously I have a lot of grey hair in my beard now... I don't know what happened. Adulting is hard. lol
