Though I've always liked to draw off and on, I've taken up animation only fairly recently. The channel contains the first fruits of my labor. I'm a one-man studio basically, self-taught, doing the writing, designing, animation, and music myself. I work in the old-fashioned way, pencil on paper, then scan my drawings and color them digitally. The software I use is all quite basic, because I do most of the work manually (and because I’m not bright enough to understand most software).
The channel contains absurdist stuff ("Lonely Zernak", "Plonka"), and more ambitious videos ("Captain Eagle Man", "Escape from the Planet of the Robot Zombies”).
All the videos are personal. I don't make them to wow an audience or to become a really famous YouTube Star. I make what I want to watch myself. And I'll have you know that my videos are thoroughly enjoyed by the 9 people who watch them.
Let's see... Linked to Instagram, Tumblr blog, told a bit about myself, antagonized the viewers... I think that's it. Oh, I thought I saw Rutger Hauer at the supermarket yesterday but having thought some more about it now, I don't think it was him.
You're still reading this.
You know, in the future there'll be world-famous celebrities that almost nobody has heard of. Cyan and magenta are the new orange and teal. "Art is never finished, only abandoned."
I'm 661 years old.

![Betty Boop: Barnacle Bill (1930) (Early appearance)
Barnacle Bill is a 1930 Fleischer Studios animated short film. It was part of the Talkartoons series, and featured Betty Boop (here known as Nancy Lee) and Bimbo (as Barnacle Bill).
Barnacle Bill (Bimbo) is a sailor on a ship that has just come into port. As soon as he can get off the ship, he heads for Nancy Lees (Betty Boop) house. When he gets there he begins knocking on her door. Bimbo and Betty begin singing the lyrics to a tame version of Barnacle Bill the Sailor. The actions of the film follow along the songs storyline, with Barnacle Bimbo romancing Betty and then leaving her to go back to sea.
Like many early Fleischer Studios films, this film was inspired by a popular song, a version of Barnacle Bill written in 1928 by Frank Luther & Carson Robison and performed by Hoagy Carmichael. It has nothing to do with William Bernard, the sailor and California Gold Rush character known as Barnacle Bill.[1]
In this cartoon, Betty Boop still retains some of the canine physical characteristics that she had in her first screen appearance, Dizzy Dishes.
