Patrick’s Cartoons posterous

Hat tip Daniel.

This one is off to a much better start. But I think it’s going to turn into a standalone cartoon. So I still need to work on a banner for the blog at some point. Oh well…

Here’s my first attempt at a cartoon for the site, or a banner or something. I didn’t finish it because I could tell it wasn’t going to work.

You know this is hecka the background on Batman’s computer. Also the wallpaper image on his cell phone and he keeps a printed copy clipped to the back of the sun visor in the Batmobile. Some guys.

You guys want to see something awesome?

THIS is why I dig animation.  It’s beautiful.  It’s original.  It’s a bit on the weird side.  It conveys a mood and tells a story more succinctly than live action film can.  In live action, the Lighthouse Keeper would not have been as thick, as hunched.  We wouldn’t be able to feel as tangibly the heaviness of his cloak or the weight of his movements.  A live action telling of the same story would have been confined to physical realities and traditional interpretations of height and depth.

Animation is to live action film what poetry is to prose, and while some people aren’t partial to poetry, they can appreciate its character and complexity.

Plus, you guys, did you see the size of that firefly?  That shit was WACK.

Kittens there are few things in life that are more perfect than sitting down to with the mighty Keep Your Coins, I Want Change lap top with a strong black coffee and The Manic Street Preachers blistering through my headphones.

It’s during these peaceful moments that as the good lady Missus quite astutely pointed out this past weekend while we were talking about the usual criticism this blog receives for tea bagging the establishments that not only does it have a symbiotic relationship with the media and it’s detractors of Keep Your Coins, but mostly that I am Sam the Sheepdog.

(Notice the strong physical resemblance)

You see Kittens, Sam the Sheepdog and I have a lot on common. We both wake up, have a cup of coffee and then go to work protecting the grazing oblivious sheep from the sneaky plotting treacherous wolf. You know…Whitey.

(Boink)

Sam and I punch the clock every day and calmly do our our gig. We don’t miss anything through our messy tussled mops and are always ready to smack the wolf around when he miss behaves, which he always does because he is a wolf. Again, this is the symbiotic relationship.

Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf both have jobs to do while the sheep are just happy being sheep. Mindlessly wandering around content not to bump into too many things while acting and looking just like each other.

This is also pretty much how it works with Keep Your Coins.

Since the mainstream media have become gutless punks who can’t be bothered to ask any questions anymore when they report a story and are now content just to report on whatever Jon and Kate are up to as front page news while burying real news stories deep in the back pages about how badly you are getting fucked but not telling you why or how, yet still have the balls to actually charge for their ass wipe rags and cable news channels people turn to blog like Keep Your Coins for opinions. You remember those don’t you Kittens? Places where a news story turns up, research is done on both sides of a story and just like in newspapers and on television an opinion is put forth after the facts are laid out.

The media have become the sheepole that they used to inform and then wonder why in the age of information fewer people are turning to them for the information that they no longer provide anyways. Just like Sam and Ralph, there is always going to be a wolf or two looking to feast on a nice plump hapless sheep and there will always need to be a sheepdog to keep an eye on him and stop the fucker. Thankfully one of the few vestiges of mankind is that we are at least partially self regulating in the form of the fifth estate, the angry mob.

Celebrities and gossip magazines have an oddly symbiotic withstanding relationship that has all but disappeared from mainstream media.

Celebrities wouldn’t be celebrities without the gossip media. They would just be what they are. Some people who enjoy dressing up in somebody elses clothes who are rather good at remembering words written on bits of paper. Without somebody to talk about her, Jennifer Aniston would just go away. This by the way Kittens is partially a point and partially a plea. Somebody please make her go away.

Gossip columnists also wouldn’t have a job without some people to gossip about. They wouldn’t have jobs without celebrities to pester, judge and point their fingers at when celebrities go bat shit and make sex tapes of themselves so they would have to resume their lives as cackling vacant post teenage bimbos and screaming queens. The two being mostly hard to differentiate.

At least the gossip columnists do serve one purpose which the mainstream media doesn’t bother with anymore. They actually ask questions and when a celebrity does something painfully horrifying like kidnap a new shiny African kid, they are the first one to say “what the fuck you gnarled old lady?”

Thankfully the critics of this blog have some time on their hands…..to hate it. Good for them. Bring it on. It is part of the never ending cycle of who is watching the watcher watching the watchmen. Opinions are a bit like physics. For every opinion there is usually an opposite opinion. Normally this is a good thing unless you are talking about genocide.

Thankfully as fearless leader of a small army chronically masturbating of self entitled zygote minion sycophantic kleptomaniac arsonists I can leave the heavy lifting and lost causes to them. At the very least it gives them character and them a few well deserved pistol whippings.

It’s only a day gig where the Sheepdog and the Wolf co-exist.

When you write a daily column like they used to in the newspapers frequently you are asked “what about writers block?” “What happens if there is nothing happening in the world?”

Bullshit…you pussies.

There is always something to writ about because there is always some pie wagon prick doing something horrible. The Wolf never took a day off and it was his job to fuck somebody else over. That’s what they do. Sam the Sheepdog punched his clock every day and his job was to punch the shit out of Ralph, with comedic effect.

Day in and day out at the Acme Factory which is the Keep Your Coins blog it is the same thing. Over and over, the daily battle for a cup of black coffee, the clock is punched and the swinging begins. Then, at the end of the day the clock is punched again it is time to go home to the family.

The Missus was right. She frequently is.

and keeping out blacks even earlier!

Karma is a straight up B!%#h, isn’t it?

A suburban swim club accused of discrimination last summer after revoking the memberships of mostly black and Hispanic children plans to declare bankruptcy, a newspaper reported Saturday.

Valley Swim Club president John Duesler sent an e-mail to club “friends and families” Friday saying the board of directors had voted to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy this week, The Philadelphia Daily News reported.

Duesler wrote in the e-mail that many would blame the bankruptcy on legal proceedings and negative media exposure, the newspaper said. But, he said, “the truth is that the club has struggled to stay out of the red for at least the last decade” and owes more than $100,000 in operational expenses and legal fees, the newspaper reported.

I like it how the some of the last vestiges of racism fight to stay alive, but on the real down-low.  “We are not filing bankruptcy because we are some racism a-holes, we are filing because we have always been broke.  We are squeezing that nickle so hard that boogers are coming out of Washington’s nose….”  The fact is, that you would have kept on keeping on, had it not been for the publicity your racism got you.  Whoever any pub is good pub was simply lying to you.

Duesler declined to comment to The Associated Press on Saturday.

Members “are all tired and beaten down and just sickened by how our club has been improperly portrayed,” he said, according to the Daily News. “After speaking to many members, my sense is that mostly everyone wants to move on.”

Of course you want to move on.  You were caught red handed and you want people to stop talking about it.  Instead the exact opposite should happen.  We NEED to talk about this more.

Good enough to shine your shoes, but not to swim in your pools

The Creative Steps day camp had arranged for the youngsters to swim at the Huntingdon Valley club each Monday during the summer. But during the first visit in June by 56 children — 46 black and 10 Hispanic — two children reported hearing racial comments, and the day camp’s payment was later refunded, according to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.

The commission said in a decision in September that it had found probable cause to conclude that the campers were asked not to return because of the “racial animus” expressed by one member and “racially coded comments” by other members.

I like how the money is refunded later.  Not at the time, since I am trying to keep the loot, but once we are caught, then I am going to try and make it go away by giving them the money that they paid to us for services not rendered.

“I am taken aback right now. It really comes as a surprise,” Creative Steps director Alethea Wright told the AP on Saturday when told about the reported bankruptcy plans.

Brian Mildenberg, an attorney for the children in a lawsuit against the swim club, told the AP the bankruptcy filing puts a temporary stay, or hold, on the suit filed against the club.

However, the human relations discrimination proceedings, as well as the lawsuits, would be allowed to proceed if the bankruptcy court grants relief,” Mildenberg said.

The state commission, however, said other large groups that came to the swim club did not elicit a similar reaction, and the club had no black members among 334 paid memberships for the last two years.

Don't forget your abestos underwear Cracker!

This shouldn’t be a shock to you.  Blacks are not in the KKK, unless you are Clayton Bigsby.

You might be able to get some money after a re-organization of the club’s assets, but they don’t have much…

For software engineers who think getting up and walking down to coffee machine is exercise

Otra maravilla de la Warner Bros. De 1941

Cuando la publicidad de la nicotina estaba más que tolerada. Incluso los Picapiedra echaban un pitillo para descansar. Impensable en estos días, claro.

Tweed’s stuff has been kinda funny lately. What the hell is up with that? This is a comic for god’s sake. Anyway, hope you are in a thinky, “I don’t get it” kind of mood.

Stoopid Man

This is Stoopid Man. He is the defender against all that is stupid like meetings, and bosses and mission statements and co-workers. He is currently posted on the wall next to the white board in our little cubeville. Lots of stoopidity happening there!

Feel free to print out Stoopid Man and post him in your cube to protect you against all that is stoopid.
