RE: Cartoon-off: I hope I trend! [Comedy Open Mic #23]
This post is way too good for the Shit Post of the Day Award. It has my name there, then my name again... Oh! And a cool comic. HA! ...sorry about the pig.
Glad you got some value in the dedication, and seriously, thank you for the inspiration. ❤️ After reading that post and admiring the $$$ potential and artistry of Leon to Lion, the direction of this post was clear. I thought...That could totally be me too!! Trending page, here I come! Only, I’m such a tight-arse that it physically hurts to pay for attention, I guess I’ll have to be organically untrendy.
And I’d be honoured to receive your Shit Post Award, an award is an award, I’m not fussy, especially when it means you drop in. ;)
You should know, I peek on your blog often, and try to reply, but they get long and I get bored of me mid-way writing them. There’s been a few unfinished ones I just don’t press post on. Instead, I lurk and secretly read when I’m in the mood to experience weird. Terrible me, but your Steemit contribution is valued by me.
As for demonic slaughter pig, it really was tongue-in-cheek. I actually had to do the mental rubber band snap thing to prevent myself from replying what I really thought piggy looked like. It’d be tasteless and I gotta keep it classy. Lol. And hey, I caught the rather pretty and harmless looking nonames pic before you removed it. I’m not scared. :P
If you thought that lion was cool, you should see the elephant I made.
As for that paying for attention stuff: I've always preferred to be like that band nobody ever heard of at the old school record store. Stumble upon the recording, the cover looks cool, whatever, take it home, best sound ever! I'm not saying I'm the best, I just prefer to be found like that and maybe someone will like what they see. "Hey! Look at me! Me! Me! Me!" isn't really my style. Organically untrendable is fun.
You're not only one who reads and runs and honestly, I don't have an issue with that. I know how it is. I can't leave comments everywhere either, but I'm still checking in. I like to hear what people have to say, even if it's cringy or whatever, I don't mind. I think sometimes part of the reason people don't say the things they want to say is because they too must keep it classy and protect their public figure persona thing, which is cool. I don't blame them. Someone might see them mingling with the freakshow! Oh no!
O.M.G ... I know Elafint the Elephant! She’s famous, she has a psychic trunk that is invisible to the eye! You’ve put an impressive amount of detailing, I don’t know which grey squiggly bit I should focus on, and the unnatural precision rendering... It’s unfair how easy it is for you...
But let’s forget about the blood, sweat and jaw-dropping talent you poured into Elafint. Let’s focus on what’s really important. This will definitely rocket-trend straight to the top, @nonameslefttouse. You just need to sell your soul and promise to give your first, third, seventh and twelfth born over to the daemon-bot who controls the SP of a horde of imps. When considering the skipped infants, that’s a lot of procreation in a given lifetime. You’d best consult your social calendar, do the maths, and weigh the risk vs reward vs libido. It might still be tempting...
Does the thought make you hot and tired?
Coolness in obscurity is probably the wiser choice. But maybe that’s also problematic, you’re too cool. I can only speak for myself, but I feel more comfy hanging with the dorks. Being cool requires too much calories...Oh, scratch that. I should definitely aim for cool then. It’s good for the hips and etc.
Also, it was only for Mr Serial Killer Piggy that I was fearful of getting too low brow. Most other times, it’s usually that I want to make suggestions. I respect you as an artist and a writer. I personally hate being told what to do artistically. But I will upvote in future, now that I’ve let it be known I actually read. I still struggle with upvoting and not commenting, always feels uncaring if you have had some interaction with the author. I need to harden up though.
You’re doing fantastic, you are fantastic, take care and no need to reply to this. I know how conscientious you are with replying, but I wrote this to entertain you. The length of this comment is exactly the reason I don’t reply to your posts. ;)
Cheers,
Linny!
