  • H.o.p. on H2O

    So I was on the phone telling Marty to pick up water on the way home. Me: We need water. H.o.p.: We need H2O. Me (being dyslexic): We need HT0. H.o.p. No, we need H2O. I’ll tell you what H2O means. It means there’s one H and 2 oxygens and when they stick together they…

  • Blogging Santa Conquers the Martians

    I’ve not pulled together my blog of “Santa vs. Satan” but plan to. Here’s one I did last year of “Santa Conquers the Martians” which stars a child Pia Zadora. It’s actually an anti-war film that had me clearly thinking way too hard, being as overwhelmed as I was. A fascinating bauble from the 60s.…

  • Reading up on Stop Animation for H.o.p.

    Some time Monday the landlord is dropping by to look at the radiators. We’ve had glorious heat all weekend. Turns out that the heat was supposed to be on all last week but the person sent to check out the boiler’s health and turn it all on didn’t cut it on, they just checked its…

  • Two more movies from H.o.p.

    H.o.p. likes the idea I’m posting his movies for friends and relatives to see, and this afternoon he did two for the blog. The little program he works in employs a fundamental form of flippad onionskinning. What you draw is what you get. No panning and zooming. No copying of images you’ve already drawn and…

  • H.o.p. modeling clay – "Tim"

    “Tim”, a cartoon character. We ran out of colored modeling clay yesterday so H.o.p. went ahead and used a neutral color and painted everything he made. He has his priorities down. He may be incapable of cleaning up anything, but the moment he is done painting he always washes his brushes. Serious business for him.…

  • H.o.p. modeling clay – Gingerbread man, 2004

    [clear]Yeah, I know, what’s the big deal about a Gingerbread Man. Simple. Still, I think it’s cute and it has been around for a while and is starting to fall apart. The arm was already gone. Made without it. Y’know, partly eaten.

  • I was back at the bottom of the hill, it was night, and I had started my walk up it

    Wednesday a.m. I was still stressing over CSS when from the other room came ooo, nice tingly tinkly xylophone on PBS Kids. Early millennium gateway to jazz of yesteryear. For the second time in two days I felt briefly upbeat. And then PBS took my new happy theme music away and returned to the Arthur…

  • The Rain Check

    H.o.p. is posting some of his comics again over on his blog. On top of all the other drawings he does, and still making a lot of neat little sculptures, he’s churning out about 6 Angsley, Kitty and Catter cartoons a day this week. On Monday, while the landlord was here with his helper fixing…

  • "Here, Kitty Kitty!"

    Here Kitty! Kitty! Copyright H.o.p. 2008 What fun. Am listening to Marc Gunn’s Irish and Celtic podcast. That’s fun as well. Loading music onto the iPod for the trip. I lost my bagpipe CD. I need to find some bagpipe music. Yes, I love bagpipes. Marty does not. He finds them irritating. I used to…

  • HE BELIEVES…

    Haven’t uploaded anything for H.o.p. in a long while. Stacks of drawings pile up several feet high all over the apartment. I need to start getting some of them scanned in. Was just doing this one tonight because I find it heartwarming that his conviction that Martians exist is unflagging. This is a little sketch…

  • Look how you’ve made me feel!

    Look how you’ve made me feel! H.o.p. art, 2007 H.o.p. has been angry with me. Oh, he lets me know in other ways. But this is how he REALLY lets me know. He draws pictures and brandishes them. “Look! Look! This is how you’ve made me feel!” Brought to you by Direct TV wars, as…

  • MY ACT?

    My act? I’m a super somersaulting frog! The above is some old H.o.p. art. Love it. A frog that lets you know its “act” is somersaulting, then performs a somersault and promptly barfs. Some people call this performance anxiety. Stress is another good name for it. Today’s Marty’s birthday and what he wanted for his…
