Here’s the story. I made some changes to the video and reloaded onto YouTube. But, for some reason, they turned it into a Short instead of a Video. I am a little bit disappointed because now I can’t use the Thumbnail that I created for it. Anyways…there is new stuff here so watch the video..er..I mean “Short”.
I think, therefore I am, I think
I have taken the next step in evolution by creating my first “talky”. I have animated my comic strip! The plan is to produce one per month. Enjoy the existential hijinks! At this time, only my followers here at Oddbox Comics get to see this. I have a little bit more work to do on this before I make it public on YouTube. I’m going to make a new thumbnail that parodies YouTube thumbnails. You know, a lot of sensationalistic bullcrap with plenty of arrows and red circles. Also, I plan to attach my animated ScribblePad ad.
I hope you enjoy this Exclusive Showing!
The End of the Rainbow
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! You have seen this before, but I cleaned up the animation a little bit and added jingling coins and fart sounds.
Communications Breakdown
This is the new animated ad for the ScribblePad. I did everything except the exceptional music.
Canine Psychoanalysis
One day, my niece Kya was explaining why she would never use nasal decongestant ever again. She said that it worked so well that she could “smell her own nose”. To me, that was a gag that needed very little refinement. In my mind, the only thing that could make it any funnier was the situation seen above.
Summer 2023 Version
I have created new packaging for the ScribblePad. I think it makes the product look more complete. If necessity is the mother of invention, then this is the baby. I’m not quite sure what I mean by that. It was born more out of economic necessity rather than aesthetical necessity. I wanted to move on to blister packaging for the next batch of Scribbles but was running short on money, so, I thought, “Perhaps I should figure out a way to do my own packaging on this go around”, so I did. Ta-Daaaa! It is basically the same as the last packaging, (same size, same bag) except the display cardstock goes inside the bag and extends all the way to the bottom of the bag. I call this, “The Poor Man’s Blister Packaging”. Not only does it look better than my former packaging, in my opinion, but it is sturdier, stronger. Also, like blister packaging, I have more space to add other pertinent information on the back (directions, instructions, ingredients and so on).
These are now available at https://skribbers.com. Not only does the ScribblePad packaging have an exciting new look, but the pad designs themselves have been altered in subtle and not so subtle ways. For instance, one just disappeared. (But that means there is a new one!) If Necessity is the mother of Invention, Passion, most assuredly, is the father.

These are caricatures of my niece, Autumn, and her daughter (my grandniece?) Everlee.

Good Eatin’!
I made a logo for a fictitious fast-food restaurant called Chuck’s Chickenburgers. I learned how to wrap lettering around a circle, how to use the eye-dropper tool to change the color of things quickly, and how to manipulate shapes and mold them into recognizable objects.
