I draw and write stuff. I've created a comic called “Eternal Beach City” about a seaside metropolis where lifeguards rule — with a very laid back fist. Basically, I’m establishing a cult of personality based around cute girls that lower your defenses.

Daaaamn, yo’ style guuuurl!

Darling Snarl @darlingsnarl.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you! There was a lot of thought that went into that, so I’m glad it paid off! 😁

…and here’s Josie! Also, while I’m at it. Lewd bonus panel (not of Josie) on the Patreon: www.patreon.com/darlingsnarl

While photographing the mound of sand I stuck Allison in, I inadvertently got a shot of the model for this little beach cat. Her name is Josie and she’s a big fan of taking little props and hiding them around the house. Also my Wacom pen. Also (unused and in their packaging) tampons, weirdly…

Someone sent me a chat request earlier today but now I don’t see it. So, I’m not ignoring you, whoever you are, I just don’t see the request anymore.

Nah, it’s just the starting “fu” syllable in “fuck”. There’s no way around it. They aren’t very nice friends.

Oh nooooooo!

Man, what’s the deal with sand, anyway? It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Okay, full disclosure, that’s a quote from one of those “Star War” movies. I had to Google the quote to make sure I remembered it right.

Haha! That’s so funny. I’ll have to see if I can find that.

Did you know grooming in cats can play a role in dominance? Here’s what’s crazy, though: the dominant cat is the one cleaning the other cat! I guess this makes sense among cats, but I feel like if I could just go about my work while someone else bathed me, I wouldn’t consider that person above me.

Interesting! I’ll give this a watch a little later.

Not sure if everything I see and read feels like two or less dot connections to the conclusion that everything is awful because everything IS awful, or if I just need to go to sleep.

Gonna put that to the test. Night, y’all! ❤️

Really cute haircuts!

Idea for next Ultimate Spider-man: ESU student and freelance photojournalist Peter Parker is in a romantic relationship with J Jonah Jameson. They keep their relationship secret to avoid accusations of preferential treatment. On top of that, Peter has to keep his alter-ego secret from his boyfriend.

…exciting and unforeseen challenges. I haven’t toyed with stop motion since I was a child.

Maybe one day I can afford to hire some assistants!

That one time I did an animated panel took days and days and I don’t know how many dozens of hours. I wouldn’t mind spending the time, but there are only so many hours in the day, unfortunately.

Still, it is something I’d love to explore. And I’m sure the physical stop motion would provide some…

Hm, I don’t really have a word for it. I feel like a word or phrase must exist already? I dunno.

I think doing animation an utilizing the backgrounds would be really fun! But, no matter how you slice it, REALLY time consuming.

@baconsharts.bsky.social Your avatar is great, Red Letter Media is the best. Just wanted to let you know!

Darling Snarl @darlingsnarl.bsky.social · 11d

Oh, he’s GOT a dick too. You just can’t see it behind the box. (Don’t ask me why I bothered to both draw, color and shade a bunch of stuff obscured by a box.)

Thank you so much! 😁

Behind the Scenes: For the packing peanuts, basically, I filled the little box I made with generic Rice Krispies and shot it at a high shutter speed in burst mode as I used the aerosol frost spray from the last comic to spray through the open top, shooting the “Rice Crisps” out of the box.

Now the only thing let to see is who eats thr other first.

…I’m talking about Jeeves and Wooster. Everyone knew who House was and as great as it is, its pitch is pretty straightforward.

Darling Snarl @darlingsnarl.bsky.social · 13d

Man, I saw that in my early youth and for a long time it wasn’t on any streaming and it was SO hard to explain it and why it was great to people who had never heard of it.
