"Rhesus Perplexus" - Bullitnuts

9A I guess That's deep

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/17/arts/television/sesame-street-big-bird.html You know, the man who played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch on a certain kids program that I don't need to remind you the title of in literally thousands of episodes. Quite saddening to hear that a member of this program's illustrious cast since day 1 is retiring from the Street, and here's hoping whoever will take over the chores of playing these two iconic characters does a great job, although they probably won't have the charm Carroll Spinney brought to them. According to the man himself, playing Big Bird was "one of the most joyous things of my life". I actually recall meeting Spinney at a comic convention last year, and from what I remember, he was a nice fellow to speak with, and along with the inevitable autograph, he also said "Hi!" to me in Big Bird's voice. Unfortunately, he couldn't do Oscar's voice, as he's become to old to do it. Shame, as Oscar is probably one of my favorite of the many wonderful Sesame Street characters (I've even got one of those li'l Running Press books about him, written and illustrated by none other than Spinney, plus a nifty Oscar button that says some quite grouchy things!).  

14. Steel's Amateur Art Show This is a collection of art that I've made from my early years on SBC. Some of these have been archived by SBC, and some of them were gone because of tinypic not being the most reliable image-hosting service, or because of any other mishaps. Since I have kept them saved in my documents, I will now dig them back up as an art exhibit to to showcase my shoddy graphic design skills back in the early days. This is apparently my earliest crafted design from bannerfans. 'Member the Empire State Building from Z-Storm? Take an empty shot of a background from SpongeBob and just add text. Those were indeed simpler times. This was the prototype banner that I've used for Pisces Moon. Nothing says fighting crime in the name of the moon quite like a solar eclipse. I've made this as a suggestion for a new banner for forumotion SBC, and clearly, this never saw the light of day. I actually never publicized this before. This was an idea for a banner for the Spin-Offs and Literatures forum by making a collage. This wasn't my idea of a final result and I've made this back in very early 2011. This Pokemon Black and White inspired scene transition was used only once for my S.P.O.N.G.E.B.O.B. miniseries and I never utilized something like this ever again since after delaying its end for a few years, I've picked up a bit of a different vision for that old spin-off of mine. Made this for SOF. Made this for Jjs. Okay, I'm actually proud of this one. This was the second banner that I made for Pisces Moon, and it clicked with me since it genuinely matched the theme for my spin-off. And of course, I couldn't ignore making a banner for this spin-off. ew, kill it. Eventually, I made a far better banner for Z-Storm. Credit actually goes to @CDCB for both of these images. I've had to salvage these, so don't call me an art thief since I'm giving him credit. And yet I couldn't make a cool enough banner for UWS back in early 2012. I made this for OMJ. I apparently don't remember why though. Made this for a Store-exclusive compilation thing that never got made. Apparently, I had the audacity to make a third banner for Pisces Moon. This one was pretty bland. I'm also actually proud of this one although I had to download the font for Skyfall. Just pretend that 'U' is actually just a 'C' turned sideways. (Also, this would be the last time I would try to make something with bannerfans.) This one is actually recent, and I made it to hype up that crossover review that Clappy and Nuggets intended to make that never saw the light of day. And that's pretty much it. Most of my other pictures on my documents are old avatars of mine that I've salvaged. Maybe I will post them with a little added history at some point.

You know what else is formulaic? The bitter realization that we all are merely one raisin in a plum pie
