Gagala News (G-log #3)

As captain of the cheerleading squad Kim isn't a huge stickler on punctuality when it comes to showing up to practice on time, but... Yeaaaah, three hours late is kinda pushin' it there, Jessica.

Thank you, Phil, for sharing and the great job you did!

PhillipThe2 has sent a new masterpiece starring Kim and Monique as part 35 of the series "Home Movies", with a short story. Both are available now for supporters.

As a small consolation for the wait, supporters can now access a picture of Isabella Garcia-Shapiro (from Phineas and Ferb) in a bikini, as well as a nude version. I’m currently preparing an animation starring Candace Flynn and her mom (Lindana). It will have sound.

Some of you may have noticed that some old files in the Silver Lair are labeled “New.” I have reduced the resolution of old GIF animations in the Public Lair to 720p and moved the 1080p files to the Silver Lair. These files were created with pixel-oriented software and cannot be offered in 4K or 8K. Gold and Platinum users can access the Silver Lair at any time using their password.

My 21-year-old car needed repairs again. Rust never sleeps, and I’m too old to crawl under the car and fix it myself. Exchanging rusted sheet metal the size of my hand in two spots costed me more than €800. Now, I have to save money wherever I can. That means eating lentil stew for four days in a row—perhaps even longer if I add more water—followed by oatmeal for the rest of the week. The preheater doesn't work anymore. I can't afford to repair it, and now that the mornings are starting to have frost, it's especially difficult. Oh well, I only use it once a week to buy food.

Thank you, my dear supporters, for helping me keep a roof over my head and food on the table.
Bear hug!

The good news is that PhillipThe2 created a new masterpiece for the Fourth of July. Thank you for sharing, Phil, and for the great job you did! The bad news is that Phil was furloughed from his job for two months due to layoffs in the video game industry. Let's keep our fingers crossed for him!

Dear supporters, patrons, live savers and friends,

My bad personal situation hasn't changed, I still have to spend most of the day in bed and I'm sure that won't change. Although I live in a different place now, I am still surrounded by too many sources of noise and unscrupulous rednecks as neighbors, especially in winter they think that global warming only happens on TV and heat with damp wood because they are too stingy to replace their heating with a modern one just to be able to fly on vacation at least twice a year. I've always been and will always be an outsider, so most people reject me because of my disability or something else. I don't know how long I can take it, time will tell and fate will decide, as it always does.

The good news is that after more than four years of histamine intolerance, I can drink coffee and tea again, eat most of the foods I had to cut out for so long, and even gain weight. There are only a few things I still can't eat without having a pretty bad side effect, like walnuts or soy lecithin (which is in most of the sweets you find in the supermarket).

The sad thing is that AI-generated images (which has nothing to do with intelligence, when a program is still too stupid to create hands with the right number of fingers or limbs, and gets confused when arms or legs are crossed, and still has problems with human anatomy) are making more and more of my supporters disappear forever. In other words, I can't live off my supporters anymore. I will have to go on welfare next year.

But still, I want to give a special thanks to one of my hardcore supporters, PhillipThe2, who has saved my butt so many times by sharing his creations with us when my health didn't allow me to work as fast as I wanted, and who has helped me so many times by correcting the text for my comix work. Thank you Phil, you are a great artist and a good friend.

I'd also like to thank those who couldn't spend anything, but posted my work in the usual places to do a little advertising for me. Thank you very much.

But you, the hard core of 300, are still here with me, and that is the most important thing, so thank you for that. gigantic bear hug, you really are awesome. Let me send you season's greetings and wish you happy holidays and a great time in peace. Always take care of yourself and others, stay healthy. After all, the best illness is no good, so better stay healthy. I wish you good luck and happiness on all your paths.

Thanks for this year, in the hope of seeing you all again next year: Happy Holidays! Mele Kalikimaka! ハッピーホリデー! Joyous Kwanzaa! Yuletide Greetings! Joyeuses fêtes! Felices Fiestas! Boas festas! зі святами! Fijne feestdagen! God ferie! Glædelig ferie! Frohe Feiertage!

With gratitude and respect, I remain

Until then, take care, stay healthy! Thank you for your patience and generous support!

YOU still don't support me? Please do, I'm broke.

Thanks to PhillipThe2 for his help with the text.

Thanks to my supporters for the patience and support, you make my living and I appreciate it.

Work file for frame 15 on page 33 for "The Tale of Kiki Possible. Monique and Trixie on their way home could be considered a "public nuisance" in this case. I'd like to make a story about how both of them are on their way to Monique's house and each time they stop where they think they won't be seen. And they will meet Officer Jane (fictional name, just made it up) who will try to catch them. The title could be something like "Two on the long way home". But I don't think I would find the time for that story.

For this file a background image has to be created and after that only 3 frames have to be created to finish page 33.

Platinum supporters have early access to the page in progress in XXL format (3840 x 6140 pixels).

Monique, Trixie and Kaori, quite a delicious specialty that could be called "hot chocolate bowl" or "sweets knot". Work file for frame 8 of page 33 for "The Tale of Kiki Possible".
