Spleck: Creyonah 13th

It's the final hour of the day and I am at home, with the headphones on, currently watching videos on youtube.

Videos which may or may not be clips form that most despicable of film universes, the MCU.

It came from the genius of all geniuses himself that the MCU is despicable so who am I, a who am I kind of man who has his limits in how well, or how not quite terribly I draw and write to disagree with him.

Except I disagree with him strenuously and couldn't care less to see another Johnny Thug movie which are the heights of filmmaking if you listen to his friend, who was not quite so against the MCU.

At least he didn't call them despicable.

How does that definition fit what the MCU is?

But a lot of shit is being thrown around by people these days. You can't just be content to have other interests, you have to attack it.

Great you don't like the MCU and it seems specifically the MCU, I don't care about Johnny Thug movies and war pictures are certainly hit or miss with me. I enjoyed Saving Private Ryan but I have no interest in seeing Appocalypse Now or Blackhawk Down, or a whole lot of other war movies.

So where was I?

You don;t have to like the MCU, that's fine, but to attack it with such outlandish language? That was uncalled for. 

But that's my five cents and who am I compared to you sir?

After all, I love that despicable film Universe and already know the days in which I will watch my favourite movie from that "wretched excuse of a film reality" decades on.

Was I suitably over the top with my language?

I am here to learn at the feet of a master after all. And that seems to be the lesson that he wants to impart on the world.

I'm in Canada so it is five cents and not two cents because we no longer have the penny.

Now this should have perhaps been written last night when I posted the relevant strip, but I wasn't feeling that then.

And I am now.

Not that words will sway anyone, but even with the evident emotion behind them, I am being far more adult in how I am expressing myself than how those two men came with their popcorn and soda to throw at the screens.

Are you pleased with yourself gentleman is this your inspired critique of a great set of films?

Sure, that's my opinion of them as a whole and yours is no doubt different than mine and I grew up loving comic books and spent decades collecting them so yeah, I am totally biased towards them.

And with good reason as without comics I don't know what my path would be because I wouldn't be a writer.

Though twenty years into writing and very little to show for it maybe I should heed the lesson that is being imparted on me.

Then again I am stubborn and continue to believe in myself which is something I learned in part, from comic books.

Wait, are comic books despicable too?

Wow, so much despicability in my life how can I be any kind of good man?

Not that any media makes one despicable or not despicable, even if you watch nothing but Johnny Thus Movies, so as much as I want to jump on them, I will shrug instead and say they just aren't my cuppa.

Hmm, there's a lesson to be learned here I think.

But I'll be damned iof I can figure it out because I spent too too much of my life liking despicable comic books, cartoons and movies to be smart.

Or something.

Now none of this has anything to do with the drawing posted, but maybe it is what it is. I have not set any rules for myself  what I'm supposed to write when I post these.

To date, I've either posted some story thread that I haven't continued with, or I write like this, writing freely.

Clearly, I will be well served to figure this out, even if I know whatt the future of this blog is.

At least here.

But who's going to miss me?

I have only gotten two whole replies out of this recent spate of postings, even though I haven't missed a day of them as the one day that doesn't show is there because I haven't corrected for the time difference.

Apparently 118 straight days of posting isn't even worth a good job on the 100th straight day.

I know, too bad, so sad Fish.

Maybe my next blog will get some measurable replies.

As for the drawing, yeah I guess I can write something about it.

It's a patron of the pub who has ideas that he thinks are great when they aren't right for that particular place.

Yes, Spleck Creyonah is a changed place, but nit only does a body gotta eat, it's gotta drink too.

It's more a question about what the body has to drink.

It's the final minutes of another day.

I climbed past the first good peak(3000 words) in my Book Of Fish and climbed past the second good peak(4000 words) thanks to this posting. I'd keep writing if there was more time today but the day is just over and I will do one or two other things before I return.

Be well wherever you are, if you can.

And drop me a line, if you should ever want to.
