Last semester in our introductory Flash class our final project was completely open-ended in the sense that we could make anything we want, as long as it applied all the things we learned during the semester. Although I already was fairly familiar with basic animation, I was absolutely illiterate when it came to the Flash [...]

Would you rather see a Cheer Up, Emo Kid animation, or a Cheer Up, Emo Kid flash game? It’d be something along the lines of a point-and-click puzzle adventure RPG or something. We’ve actually started the concept and have actually come up with a ‘demo’ of sorts, where you take up the role of Zeke [...]

If anyone got that, that was an obscure Starcraft reference, you know? Whenever you finished building a Terran Battlecruiser, it’d pop up and the Commodore would yell, “Battlecruiser Operational!” Yes? No? I’m lame, you don’t have to tell me three times. Anyway, after about a month’s worth of designing the site (the layout was actually [...]

First off, an extremely inappropriate poster/t-shirt concept. Now I don’t know if anyone of you follow MSPaint Adventures, the brainchild of Andrew Hussie, but if you do, you’ll know that the epic saga of Problem Sleuth ended today after a year of several-times-daily updates. That’s a metric fuckton of art, and that doesn’t even take [...]

So the entire last week was spent migrating webhosts which explains all the downtime and stuff (I’m new to all that technobabble, so, apologies). As a result, though, the site has undergone a few backend upgrades, with a brand-spanking-new design in the works that should be up in the next week or so! Anyway, to [...]

So I’ve been a bit busy lately with a lot of things and naturally am completely and infallibly inept at managing my time correctly, but the excuse I want to use is that the workload at school is getting a bit heavier on top of a few other things. We’re still alive, though, but I’ll [...]

The operative word being “happy”, of course. Since I have nothing new or interesting to report, here’s a couple of YouTube videos and pictures. Facebook Stalker Rap Tetris is for Chicks Emo Song of the Day: “Best I Ever Had” by State of Shock They have the obligatory slow-motion instrument playing in the rain scene, [...]

Update 12.22: Turns out, I hate Vanilla. I’m looking for a better alternative. Update 12.20: The forum is up and running at its most basic level, check it out. A couple of things. I was going through the web statistics for Cheer Up, Emo Kid this morning and noticed a ton of links from Plurk.com. [...]

So I was happy when Cheer Up, Emo Kid was accepted to Is It Funny Today?, a place where readers can find & rate webcomics daily, with the funniest ones for the day receiving the most exposure. I was thrilled when the majority of the feedback I received was positive, and ecstatic when CUEK started [...]

If you were redirected here via nospringchicken.net, the change is temporary. The forum over at NSC was broken because of a recent database upgrade, and since the Cheer Up, Emo Kid comics are the only updates that are happening there, I figured it was time to begin the migration to WordPress. So nospringchicken.net will be [...]
