Exactly this. They kept treating The Muppets like they were broke and needed to be fixed.
The Muppets were never broke.

I wrote about the new Muppet Show, which is, thank God, exactly like the old Muppet Show.
Finally, a Muppet Show Reboot That Understands the Original Appeal of the Muppets

James Baxter's Masterclass video about walk cycles is necessary viewing for a lot of reasons (not the least of which being that he's one of the last living masters of 2D animation), especially in how it showcases the drawing habits in his process that I was told were "wrong." (1/5)

Trying to get the hang of the new-ish Procreate Dreams update. It's super fun, but I've got a lot to learn.

I released a goofy song about the Pricemaster to warm up the internet before my album comes out later this year. In typical Fishboy fashion there are too many layers to this: youtu.be/zpfhKMNdv80

The Internet is so great now too. Every website (we have ten of them) has an intelligent chatbot embedded in it. You can talk to it. It can't help you do anything but it's there
