The term "zettai ryouiki" is actually very obscure outside of anime/manga/Japan, believe it or not.


But even though the term itself is obscure, the phenomenon it describes really isn't. ;)

Luis Escobar refers to the process of drawing cartoon gloves as the "Hamburger and Sausage Method", and that's just tasty.


that reminds me of a few anatomical anecdotes.


When you flex your thumb outward, you can see the two tendons of your thumb form a little indent, which is nicknamed 'the snuff box', snuff being snortable tobacco powder, which people used to pack into there before snorting.


The sacrum is either derivative of or comes from the same root as 'sacred', it was named that because it's the last bone to decompose.


The acetabulum (socket where the hip bone connects to the pelvis) translates literally to 'vinegar cup' because that's what the guy that named it thought it looked like.



Well it's a one for the money, two for the show, three to get a ready now go cat go!

Interesting history behind the white toon gloves. It was made as a workaround to the early days of animation, back when it was just black ink on white cels. The white gloves made it easier for the hands to stick out from the body. Felix the cat was a notable example of what could happen if they didn't wear gloves. Post colorization of animation, it's only done out of tradition. Same thing with four finger cartoon hands.

Also, PPGZ is going full circle. OG PPG was made because Craig McCracken saw sailor moon and thought it sucked and that he could do way better. Come PPGZ it turns into a magical girl series like sailor moon.

I do hope so... Someone has gotta save the industry. Marvel sure as hell won't since that company caused many of the problems to begin with.

Not much else other than browsing Reddit and probably with either a) fire up Roblox to go dick around in some Roblox game or b) fire up GIMP and watch my computer suffer in pain. Art wise, it's usually B with GIMP running and making my page file run up the creek.
GIMP is okay I guess, I might start using it more when 3.0 comes out soon. So many QOL improvements among many other things, because stuff like very ridged zoom in/out and completely inferior blending modes compared to krita and stuff like that. And I really wish I learned this earlier, but I need to slow down when drawing (outside of timed gesture drawings) because this isn't a race and I need to give my brain a few seconds to think about what I should do next.

Understandable, honestly.


Always believe in yourself, and be yourself. Except for that one Noob named “Larry”. We don't talk about him after what happened in the spaghetti dinner incident of 1987.

Pretty much the same. Which is strange, cause ice cream doesn't bother me, just milk. And also not if it's been used in a dish that's been cooked... It's just straight from the jug that causes issues.


Also, cow milk kinda just... Doesn't taste as good lol

Yeah milk on its own is quite bland and nothing special

But still what type of ice cream you eat cuz there should be a chance

It could not contain milk but I'm no ice cream expert don't know

If the milk is what it makes the ice cream ice cream

Usually just bluebell. I've tried a lot of flavors, but yeah, they don't really bother me in the same way that straight milk does. It's odd...
