So, many of you are probably asking why I haven't posted anything lately! Anyone?... no?

Seriously, though, the story evolved in a way that I hadn't expected, so I'm currently scripting out the full story before I resume posting pages. Hope I'll see you all when it's done!

Well, I couldn't let Halloween come and go without posting something (pretty sure that would count as sacrilege for a demonically possessed entity) so here's a quick study of the infamous Misfits mascot, Ruby, whom I pieced together from reference during a bout of insomnia. Happy Halloween!

Cuddles the Evil Teddy Bear Presents: 07—Season of the Wtich. Panel 1 (or Panel the first, if you prefer.) Cuddles is standing in the hallway (as you may recall from our previous installment) with a somewhat shocked look on his stupid little teddy bear face. A though bubble over his head declares "...Yeah.... Mental scars aside, these two are harmless." Speech bubbles below indicate the conversation continues in the living room in front of him, one saying "Ha ha ha!" and the other saying "*Snrk!*" It is all elegantly drawn, clearly a labour of love and effort the likes of which has heretofore never been witnessed upon the whole of the internets. Source: Trust me, bro. Having had his fill of eavesdropping, your protagonist (The smart, sexy and cool Cuddles, The Evil Teddy Bear) Climbs onto the sill of an open window to make good his escape from the witch's lair. A speech bubble coming from him claims "Alright, let's go," as he prepares to climb over the sill and through the parted curtains. Back in the living room, the plot thickens as Esmerelda and Rhonda continue conversing from the comfort of their recliners with glasses of wine in hand. Esmerelda: "Well... Reckon he's run off by now." Rhonda: "Reckon so." Esmerelda; "Call the maiden. Hands off, observe only." Oh my, I wonder what they're on about? Esmerelda and Rhonda's conversation continues in a panel that... appear to be mostly a duplicate of the previous one.... hey, did the artist get lazy or something? (Author's note: Yes. Yes they did.) Rhonda: "You mean Sarah? I thought *I* was the maiden!" Esmerelda: "Rhonda, you have kids...." Rhonda: "Wait, but don't that make you the cro...." Esmerelda: "*sigh* Just call Sarah, dammit." It appears we have not yet seen the last of our witchy companions.... or have we? Stay tuned until next time!

Panel 1: Cuddles gazes upward in thought, still propped up on the edge of the desk as he talk to himself. "Ok... Is she a witch? Some kind of... amateur occultist?" Panel 2: The same view of the desk, but Cuddles' paws are the only thing visible now as he lowers himself down from the desk, still talking to himself. "Guess that's my escape plan delayed. Her guest could be part of her... coven or whatever." Panel 3: Cuddles is in a hallway now, looking into what appears to be a living room. Two people are seated, their backs facing towards us (and Cuddles.) Only an arm is visible, propped on the arm rest of a pair of comfy recliners, each holding what appears to be a glass of wine as they chat. Esmerelda: "Ok... Goliath, from Gargoyles." Guest: "Oh! No contest, Esme—Would!" Panel 4: The same positions, but now the few is on Cuddles as he lurks in the hallway observing the exchange, a look on his face that can be construed in a multitude of ways, including shock, disgust, confusion, or something else under that umbrella. Guest: "Ok, Bowser." Esmerelda: "From Mario Bros? Ewww, Rhonda...." Rhonda: "Hear me out! He's huge, he could throw you around the bed, and desperately wants a princess." Esmerelda: Hmmm.... Ok, maybe. The spikes, though.... Rhonda: "Only from behind, Esme. Hee hee hee." A thought bubble comes from Cuddles, simply stating "What the actual...."

Sorry I made you wait so long for this one (who ever "you" are, I'm still not convinced anyone reads these, but whatever; practice is practice.) Episode Five: By the Pricking of My Thumbs, whereupon Cuddles discovers his captor/liberator is, indeed, more than she appears. Enjoy!
Cuddles The Evil Teddy Bear Presents: Episode 05—By The Pricking of My Thumbs. Panel 1: Cuddles looks into Esmerelda's workshop at last, spying a fair sized room with a bookshelf, a skull sitting ominously atop it. A stool sits in the corner, near a window, and a desk sits off to the right with a book sitting atop it. This is all tangential, however, considered the large pentagram in the center of the floor, surrounded by a circle. Cuddles: "Well, didn't have -that- on my bingo card...." Panel 2: Cuddles hops up and grabs the edge of the desk, pulling himself upward. Part of a book spine is visible on top of the desk, but it's cut off. It reads "The Lesse," from what can be discerned. Cuddles: "Maybe just a quick peek at what she's reading...." Panel 3: Pulling himself up on the edge of the desk, Cuddles gazes at the books and papers that occupy it. A tome lays in the corner, partially obscured, the partial words "Compe..." and "Malefica...." can be seen. A piece of paper with some writing on it is obscured from view as well, and a large tome with nothing printed on its cover is seen. Cuddles: Ah, some light reading huh? Demonology?" Panel 4: Cuddles stares at the paper and the notes it contains. It reads as follows, mostly in spidery cursive: "On the posession of the inanimate Possible Demonic inhabitants: -Glasya Labolas (an arrow points to the name with the note "Unlikely.") -Paimon (another arrow, with the note "No roar?" -Valac (This name is circled. Though an arrow with a note annotates it with the word "Possible." Another arrow and note proclaims "But why?" Further notes are written below the name....) -What treasure/secret? -Teddy bear makes no sense. -Attempt at subterfuge?" Cuddles stares at the page, saying only "Oh shit.... Is she on to me?" Stay tuned until next time!

Episode 4: Lord of this World.
Cuddles finally springs free of his captor's gaze and begins to set his plans in motion.... after a brief distraction.

Episode 4 - Lord of This World (Rest in peace, Ozzy.) Panel 1 - A closeup on Cuddles' face, who is now wearing a bonnet as he glances towards Esmerelda, who is off panel. A doorbell rings, "Ding Dong!" Esme: Oh, is it time already? Almost forgot.... Rest well, Precious! Panel 2 Cuddles hops down from the table he's been sitting on, alone at last. Cuddles: Thanks for the fresh threads, lady, but I've got revenge to plot! Time to run! Panel 3 Cuddles comes across a hallway leading up to a closed door. A sign hangs on the door, reading "Esme's Workshop" and has a cute little flower drawn on it. A floor mat sits in front of the door that reads "Wipe yer damn feet!" Cuddles: Hmmm.... Workshop, huh? Maybe I can satisfy my curiosity AND find an open window. Panel 4: The same view of the same hallway. Cuddles can be seen in front of the door now, hopping and flailing an arm towards the doorknob. Cuddles: Let's see what you're about, hag! -End-

Episode 3 - Pretend That We're Dead. Panel 1 - Cuddles is laying on a table surface, his mouth closed, his bloodshot eyes the only tell that make him seem like anything other than a perfectly normal teddy bear. A pair of hands can be seen, holding a threaded needle as the carefully stitch shut an open gash on Cuddles' plush little forehead. "Get you sorted soon, love," says the owner of the hands as Cuddles thinks to himself "Just keep looking like a doll...." Music can be heard faintly in the background. Panel 2 - "If you could talk, I think you'd have some wild stories to tell," says our mysterious tailor as they draw through another stitch, thread taut as they draw it through. "Gee, thanks," thinks Cuddles to himself. "I'd almost repressed those memories." Music plays on in the background.... Panel 3 - "Once we finish, know what you need?" carries on the voice, beginning another stitch on his forehead. "No, but I'm sure you'll tell me...." thinks Cuddles in response, managing to remain perfectly still and appear inanimate. Panel 4 - "A cute little bonnet!" says our tailor, holding said bonnet in their hands near the top of the panel. Cuddles, mustering all of his willpower to keep from grimacing, thinks to himself ".... when they find your body, I'm pleading self-defense."

It's been a little busy for me around the old homestead the last little while, but if you're paying attention here, fear not. Another comic is in the works, and should be out within the next few days!

Rough week.... The Prince of Darkness' throne sits empty now, and I'd be lying to say I don't feel that loss. Black Sabbath was a massive influence for me, and his voice was a big part of that. But deep down, I think he would want us to carry on, sharing laughs about the memories. Rest in Peace.
A black throne sits empty, Skulls adorning the front of the arm rests, and a bat figure with large wings and red eyes is carved into the headpiece of the backrest. Faintly, the number XIII is carved in red on the footboard. A caption at the top reads "Today, I choose not to be sad that you are gone, But glad that you were once here." Below the black throne is the inscription "Rest in Peace, Ozzy. 1948-2025."

If you've never experienced the horror of being inside of a washing machine, I think The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy said it best with the entry "Avoid."

See the single panel views on my Ko-Fi, no charge, no obligation! Link in profile.
A four panel black and white comic that is incredibly amusing and you should tell all your friends about. Thank you. Huh? You want to know about the content? Ugh. Fiiiine..... Panel 1: A front loaded washing machine can be seen from about mid point up, offering a view into the front window of the the laundry swirling within. A sock, a cloth, the edge of a pair of jeans, perhaps? A quotation runs along the top of the panel: 'In the fell clutch of circumstance' it begins (and will be continued on the next panel, I promise.) Panel 2: The same washing machine is seen, and the laundry has shifted a bit as it continues its wash cycle. A familiar little teddy bear arm can be seen coming into frame as the laundry spins (the teddy bear arm of yours truly, the most heroic of protagonists you could hope to meet, Cuddles the Evil Teddy Bear!) the quote continues: "I have not winced nor cried aloud." Panel 3: The washing cycle continues, Cuddles (Me!) is now in full view, a frown etched on his demented little face. A speech bubble above him reads "I think I'm gonna hurl...." the quote at the top of the page continues: 'Under the bludgeonings of chance' Panel 4: Cuddles is swept our of frame by the wash cycle, his legs visible from beyond the bounds of the final panel. A speech bubble leading to him reads "Hurrk" The quote at the top of the panel concludes "My head is bloody, but unbowed." Smaller text below the quote attributes it to "Out of the Night That Covers me," by W. E. Henley. The Fully quote, unbroken, for your perusal follows: "In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced, nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed." Hey, thank you for reading this. Sincerely. I appreciate you; firing off my creations into the void often feels kind of lonely, but knowing I might have made you laugh or smile makes it all worthwhile.

Panel 1: Cuddles is sitting in his closet, when a voice can suddenly be heard. "Well, what have we here?" they say. Cuddles, sitting on the ground, thinks to himself "Aw crap! A Human! Hide!" Panel 2: A hand can be seen reaching for Cuddles in the top left corner of the panel. The voice continues: "Someone's had a rough go." Cuddles, who has firmly closed his mouth to hide his teeth, and lowered his eyelids to obscure his bloodshot eyes thinks "Oh, you have no idea...." Panel 3: The invading hand tugs at one of the loose stiches holding Cuddles' head together, and says "Bit of a shoddy stitching job....." Cuddles, grimacing a bit despite his attempt to appear like a normal teddy bear, says "Ow! Hey, I did those myself!" Panel 4: The hand grabs Cuddles around the belly and picks him up, saying "Yer cute, though! Let's get you home." Cuddles, mostly dropping his pretense now in a half offended, half terrified open mouthed expression, glares in the direction of his captor and things "Cute?!? Are you trying to get stabbed?"

Well, I didn't mean for this to become a recurring bit, but now I just seem to have the overwhelming urge to turn my hand drawing practice into monstrosities. Show some love for Clawdia and the Phalangaraptor.... or they'll eat you.

#art
Two sketches of hands, one with a grotesque little tongue emerging from the webbing between the thumb and forefinger, and an eye a bit behind the forefinger's knuckle. Long point claws adorn the finger nails, and it is labelled "Clawdia." The second is another hand sketch drawn in the shape of a shadow puppet, the the thumb and forefinger extending to create a beak like shape, and the other fingers curled over the top like an eye. An actual eye has been drawn in the gap, and sharp teeth line the interior of the thumb/forefinger "mouth." It is labelled "Phalangaraptor."

20 sketches, one minute each, references provided by the lovely folks down at line-of-action.com. Probably a great place to tighten up your technique—for free! Which is necessary when you're a broke ass bear like me.
20 poorly drawn sketches of hands in various poses, demonstrating the artist's lack of ability to discern proportion and, in some cases, basic composition.

Sometimes, I miss the little black and white four panel comics that used to print in newspapers during the weekdays. So, I thought I'd make one of my own. It's clearly an aesthetic decision, and NOT because I'm too lazy to colour it.... clearly. Ahem. Enjoy!
A black and white drawing of cuddles, looking at a familiar looking coffee mug on a table, with a little heart on it, that you've probably seen somewhere before.... Oh, wait, this is text for people who can't see so well.... um.... It's the Ko-Fi logo. Cuddles speaks: Ooh, Coffee! Continuation of the previous drawing, Cuddles is now pouring the coffee into his mouth. Cuddles speaks! "Glug glug glug," as he chugs the cup of life giving, magnificent, hot, dark, bean juice. Continued from the previous panel. A complication has arisen as our plushy stuffed hero (anti-hero?) finished his coffee, and a dark wet spot begins to appear on his fuzzy little bottom. A confused Cuddles ejaculates: "Huh?" (lol, the author is clearly 14 mentally, and giggled at his own use of the word "ejaculates.") A continuation of the previous panel. Cuddles looks at you, the reader, a puddle forming at his feet.... What? No, it's not.... it's coffee! Just pay attention, ok? He's still holding his coffee mug, and says "Oh Yeah. I'm a teddy bear. I did NOT think this through." Get it now? Because he's.... never mind. I'ma go back to my day job now. Bye!

V is for The Vampyre. By John William Polidori. It was written too early to qualify as Victorian literature, but carries many the era's hallmarks, including dull, verbose prose and pretentious language usage. But, it is the first English tale depicting the now legendary monster; the vampire.
A quote runs along the top: "His character was dreadfully vicious, for that the possession of irresistible powers of seduction, rendered his licentious habits more dangerous to society." Below that is an image of Cuddles, looking as horrifically whacky as usual, but his usual toothy grin is adorned by a lone pair of fangs with reddened tips.

U is for Unseen Academicals, by Terry Pratchett. Drew this on Juneteenth, and the parallels between the story and the struggles of African Americans was too real to disregard. Unity is Freedom, friends. Never stop second guessing your presuppositions.
Three fists are raised on a background of orange, red and green, the leftmost fist being Cuddles' paw, the rightmost an orcish green fist, and the center, raised higher than the rest, a black fist. A quote is printed above: "Why were you running away?" "Because I know what will happen," said Nutt. "I am an orc. It's as simple as that." "But the people on the bus were on your said," said Glenda. Nutt flexed his hands and the claws slid out, just for a moment. "And tomorrow?" he said. "And if something goes wrong? Everybody knows orcs will tear your arms off. Everybody knows orcs will tear your head off. Everybody knows these things. That is not good." "Well, then, why are you coming back?" Glenda demanded. "Because you were kind and came after me. How could I refuse? But it does not change the things that everybody knows.'

T is for The Tommyknockers. A Stephen King classic. I think anyone who's ever struggled with mental health issues can find a lot of allegory in the tale... Though I often think it's fair to say that truly good horror should leave the reader questioning the meaning of sanity.
A quote occupies the top of the page: "The trouble with living alone, she had discovered-and the reason why most people she knew didn't like to be alone even for a little while-was that the longer you lived alone, the louder the voice on the right side of your brain got." Cuddles stands in darkness, a frown on his face as he looks towards his right. A ghostly visage can be seen faintly in a translucent shade of green, its lips poised at Cuddles' ear, whispering to him. Above, a pair of red eyes can be seen in the distant darkness, its gaze seemingly fixed on the apparition.

S is for Slaughterhouse Five, by Kurt Vonnegut. Funny how older books are still so adept at hitting the modern nail on the head. I guess society hasn't learned a whole lot in the last couple of decades... So it goes.
A cybertruck is parked on the street, straddling two parking spots (of course.) Its hood has been caved in by a money bag, the front suspension sagging under the weight of the wealth, and the hood crumpled, and windshield broken. Behind it, Cuddles is standing up above on a retaining wall, looking down at the money back with a grin. His claws are out on his left paw, the central one extended with the outer two curled back. The cybertruck has some graffiti spray pained on it in red, notably a swastika and something about Fornicating with Felons? who knows. The retaining wall behind it is tagged with graffiti as well, notably "PUNCH A NAZI!" off to its left, and "Cuddles wuz here" beneath Cuddles' feet. Behind Cuddles, foliage grows and a quote is printed above: "The flaw in the Christ stories, said the visitor from outer space, was that Christ, who didn't look like much, was actually the Son of the Most Powerful Being in the Universe. Readers understood that, so, when they cam to the crucifixion, they naturally thought, and Rosewater read out loud again: Oh boy—they sure picked the wrong guy to lunch that time! And that thought had a brother. "There are right people to lynch." Who? People not well connected. So it goes.

R is for The Regulators! By Steph. . . uh. . . I mean Richard Bachman. There's always something refreshing about watching the master of horror himself loosen his proverbial collar and lay down his lines with an almost irreverent style.
Cuddles rests his chin on an old CRT television, one hand (paw?) on either side of the frame. Claws protrude from his paws, puncturing into the casing. The screen is largely filled with static, but on close examination one can see a news station ID at the bottom, and what appears to be a tank rolling down a road in front of some mostly empty bleachers. Could this be an allusion to a certain recent military parade? No, clearly this a work of fiction.... A quote from The Regulators, By Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman,) is printed at the top: "The thing inside Seth is named Tak." "Is it a demon, Aud?" Old Doc asked. "Some kind of demon?" "No, no, it has no. . . no religion, I suppose you'd say. Unless TV counts. It's more like a tumor, I think. One that's conscious and enjoys cruelty and violence...."

Q is for. . . . well, lots of things. But as far as I know, I haven't read it! So, alas, I have to confess failure on this letter, but hey, no reason not to make a self-deprecating art decomposition in tribute to the moment. Tell me what I should have read for Q? Maybe I'll revisit it later!
Cuddles stares at the viewer, arms extended and raised in a semblance of a shrug (as much as a teddy bear can shrug; they don't really have shoulders, ya know?) Above is a Venn Diagram (Labelled Ye Olde Venn Diagram) that shows two disconnected circles with no overlap, one labelled "Books that begin with the letter Q, and the other labelled "Books that Cuddles has read."
