I’m not a dad, but congrats to all those that are today, including my brother. Sorry that I don’t have much else to say right now…

I’m sorry that I haven’t been feeling like myself lately. It’s just that I lost one of my cats last week. Her name was Mama, and she was my friend for 10 years. I know she was cranky in her later years, but she always liked to curl up on my couch, and comfort me when I was lonely. And now she’s gone. Rest in Peace, Mama. I hope you find your way back home again.

You ever get that feeling where you wanna draw something, but don’t have any good ideas? That’s what I’m feeling today. Like, I wanna draw to keep myself active, but I can’t think of any good ideas. Almost makes me wonder if I need to take the week off to get my priorities straight. Maybe I should take a trip to the OC Plaza, or join another collab, until I know what I really wanna do. What do you think?

(To make up for it, I turned Keisha into a literal art block)

Well, I got one of those new Switch 2s that came out. Lemme do a quick rundown of how it went yesterday. First, I went to GameStop around 2:30, and this is what the line looked like. I was in line for 2 1/2 hours, and most of that was because everybody was trading in stuff that day.

Then when I got there, they gave me a ticket for as proof of purchase. That way I could come back and pick it up when they were ready at 10:00. And so I did, with the Mario Kart Bundle (which I didn’t think I’d get, but they had more of those than regular ones). They had a release party, but I was too tired to go to the whole thing.

And now that I have it, I can say it was worth the trouble. Feels good, runs even better, and is just the upgrade that the Switch needed. I hope you can get your own sometime soon, but you better manage your mortgage first.

Happy Pride Month, to all my queer peers out there. I myself don’t have any flags, but I respect those that do. A few of my friends might even have them, and I don’t know it yet (I know you have one, ruru). Also, I don’t think I've made many character who are queer much. Except for maybe Phil, who (being a flower) has both male and female parts, which makes him non-binary by default. Do you think I should go back and make another OC have a pride flag, make a new one, or leave good enough alone?

(Also, minor edit. I gave Phil non-binary colors to reflect his status.)

[Second edit. I made Phil into Potted Pride just now. Take a look for yourself.]

Good Memorial Monday, everybody. The day we honor our veterans who died during countless wars, and deal with the kids that get off from school. Every year, I visit my grandpa in the graveyard, since he was a veteran himself. Do you have any relatives who serve(d) in the force?

Another tidbit about Memorial Day is that, one year ago, I posted the first pic here on Newgrounds. It was for the Road Runner, because of the #ReleaseCoyoteVsAcme movement at the time. It’s nice to know that the movie’s in the hands of people that care, for now at least.

I just wanna say Thank You to everybody who could be part of my first year on Newgrounds. This time, I came prepared with a picture featuring some good friends and fans of mine. More of that can be seen here:

I’ve also changed up my profile icon and banner, thanks to @ScepterDPinoy for that one. As seen here:

With all that said, i’ve been through quite a bit. Might need to take a break from making things for a bit, and do some spring cleaning around the house. I’ll still check to see what everybody’s up to, but for now, thank you all. And have a good summer too.

Kinda hard to believe that we got here so fast. If anybody’s reading this as a mother, congratulations. I myself am not one, because if I was a mom…

This would be kind of shocking…

(Why do I keep using Patrick for these things?)

I can’t believe it’s already been almost a year since I’ve started my Newgrounds page. I’ve come a long way since then, but I’m wondering what to do about it. Any ideas?

I just woke up this morning and saw there were 150 fans. I wasn’t paying attention, so I forgot to make something. Oh well, at least I can give some shoutouts to a few fans who made things for me since the time I got 100 fans. Lemme see:

@anemone8, @KaiserCrimson, @SkullyTM, @VegaSlash (for the Multiversus Collab), @Fnaflaxter (for the Sonic collab), @Omar2203, @CheyTown, @IGNITEDBOI, @M-kirbs, @ScepterDPinoy (it’s a secret for now), @Yosos, @Kosova404DLen, and @BlakeTakesTheCake (wait a minute…). @VinityAryimin isn’t a follower, but likes me a lot, so they’re an honorable mention. And also @ABitofEpicness, who I would commission, but they’re busy with college.
