Gluemeat

During the month of June, there was this little occasion which has become a part of my life for the past six years which is called Father’s Day. Now, I can smell a manufactured holiday as far away as the next fella, but when you’re six years old, it’s kind of difficult to see through that. So you come up with stuff like this marvelous portrait which I was absolutely stunned to see. Only my son could pull tears from my eyes so bloody easily. It’s not without a swelling of pride that I post a picture of what Mathias did for me on Father’s Day for you to see, because I’m both touched and impressed with it.

During my few moments of relaxation over the past thirty days, I came across a comic over on Keeenspace called Cringe Comics, which I think you silly sods should all head over to right away and read. It’s a really fun and weird comic, and my assessment is if you like Gluemeat, you’ll like this one too. Especially when you consider there are giant yellow beasts walking around with their genitalia exposed.

And now, fun with AIM:

mokonoswallow: i like mogwai

urapicky: A gal I know is a big fan of theirs, wanted me to give them a listen but instead I found Pia Fraus, an estonian Shoegazer band, and obsessed over them for awhile,.

mokonoswallow: ha estonia

mokonoswallow: that doesn’t even exist

mokonoswallow: it’s like that country in Wag The Dog

urapicky: They should get a real name.

mokonoswallow: yeah like KICKAVANIA

See you on Friday!

Fellow Gluemeaties, hello! Look who’s back! It’s me! Case Yorke, out from the depths of a really busy month of June and back into full control of Gluemeat. Despite what you may gather from the picture, it wasn’t all hot dogs and Diet 7-Up (I was drinking Diet 7-UP???), but despite the stresses and out-of-my-control situations, it was a good time. YEAH! But now that I’m back there a lot of stuff to cover, so let’s go at it one at a time…

First of all, happy belated Canada Day to all my Canuck brethren and happy Fourth of July to all our American cousins! I hope everyone had/will have a good time.

Next on my “To Do” List, I want to sincerely thank Lauragorn and TN for taking over the site during my absence and keeping stuff alive with their own goofy takes on Gluemeatdom and beyond. You two of you really were life savors, because otherwise I don’t know how I would have pulled off the last thirty days. I’m sure Gluemeaties everywhere enjoyed the Deadmeats, as did I. They worked really hard and pulled off some great stuff (”Dancing For Dahlers” is a keepsake) and I cannot thank them enough for keeping up the pace with some totally weird stuff. I’ll keep you good folks posted on their upcoming project, Ripe For Parody the minute they fill me with news.

And speaking of TN, during my absence our chap here got married. Yes, he went and took the big plunge and wed his long-time girlfriend in what was said to be a lovely ceremony. Allow me to take a moment here to congratulate the newlyweds and wishing them a good and happy life together. HUZZAH!

Also, there’s this amazing new Safetypin and Annulee art over in the Meatgrinds section; have you seen it?

And by the way, I purchased Beck’s Guero album in special edition format, and it was SO much worth the extra cash for that amazing re-mix of Broken Drum by Boards of Canada. Just in case you were wondering.

Okay, I’ll have more to chat about on Wednesday. Until then, keep reaching for the stars!

First and foremost, Deadmeaties, I would like to thank Case Yorke for asking me and Laur. to take over Gluemeat while he was gone. It was really fun cutting up his characters and cutting him down to size. As Lauragorn will agree it was a giddy thrill every sunday, tuesday, and thursday night to press that publish button and see our wonderful creations find purchase on the rocky soil known as the internet.

Secondly I’d like to thank you guys for treating us right and not flaming us for the potentially horrible jokes and font jobs we tried to pull with some of them. I’m glad that some of you got a kick out of them.

Thirdly, this is not the end of the road for the Deadmeat creators, oh no. Our web-project Ripe For Parody is in the works, and hopefully sometime in the coming months we will have something to show for ourselves at our new home on the web. I’d like to think of it as the first website to claim Gluemeat as a direct inspiration, for it will be many things, and not just a webcomic alone.

Finally, I will post script the Flashtoon above, which I give complete credit to Laur. for with inspiration and creation. Macromedia is a mystery to me. Did you notice how it’s an homage to Godard and also possibly Cocteau perhaps? Also I’m sure there’s a Homestarrunner reference in there as well… how can there not be?!
