I uploaded the line art for this one before, but took it down after an hour or so. I've now colored it and MAY leave it up a bit longer now. ^^

Seems Gene is watching 'Chowder' on his phone. Let's see what happens...

PANINI (from phone): "Oh, hi, Chowder!"

CHOWDER (from phone): "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!"

GENE (thinking out loud, unaware Mimi is behind him): "I totally relate, Chowder!"

MIMI (annoyed): "Oh really!?"

GENE (Eep): "Eep!"

MIMI (annoyed): "You're right, Gene---I'm wasting my time with you! Maybe I could start to like Tasli instead? Sure he's got a bit of an attitude, but it's endearing in its way ...I guess!"

MIMI (attempting reverse-psychology): "And maybe Tasli's kinda cute---he is now that I think about it! Do ya think I should go tell him right now?"

/Without saying a word, Gene reaches into his hat, revealing Tasli (thus calling Mimi's bluff)/

TASLI (irritable; to Gene): "This better be good---you know I hate being pulled out of your hat!"

GENE: "You'll love it, Tasli! Mimi has something she can't wait to tell you!"

MIMI (on the spot): "Oh, hi, Tasli! I-I, uh---that is, I want to say, I, um---"

TASLI (impatient): "SPIT IT!"

MIMI (thinking fast): "I want to tell you if you go out in the woods today, be sure to watch out for Gomphotherium!"

TASLI (unimpressed): "Pfft! I'm outta here!"

/Tasli retreats into Gene's hat---he cannot be pulled out again today; Mimi breathes a sigh of relief/

Gene (chipper): "Well, I guess that means Tasli's off the hook, too!"

MIMI (matter-of-fact): "Tasli was never REALLY on the menu---I was teasing you because I like you, and you tease me back because you like me, too!
Face it, Gene, you're stuck with me!"

Oh my! O:

I should have prefaced this by saying I'm not a fan of 'Chowder'--I do not watch the show, neither do I intend to start.
The idea for this cartoon came from a MrEnter video which may be seen here (link was working 03/03/2025): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwFBs27b0_U

Yes I watch Mr.Enter (what of it?). q:

Anyway... the usual things must be said in this space: I'm still drawing, I'm just not uploading (and that which I'm drawing almost never sees completion). The reason for this is (you guessed it!) the art is bad; I don't know how to draw.
It's become embarrassing to put my art on display, so I must do so very VERY sparingly. It's either this way or nothing at all.

Pencil...

An old salesman sample with a Valentine's theme. I have others in this series: one for birthdays, Christmas, Halloween and Thanksgiving (respectively). There were likely others (Easter; July 4th; etc), but those remain elusive (if they exist).

Quickies, Comics, and other stuff of little to no value.
