I created a Dtoons Pride Month comic last year, so I felt it was fitting to do the same this year! While it says "Cartoon Cafe" on the title, it doesn't really feature any key trademarks of the show itself other than Conroy appearing on the bottom. Also this is Abby's first real appearance in a Dtoons comic unless you count the image series I made for Christmas last year. This also includes various new cartoon characters from streaming services- this is the first Dtoons comic not to include any cartoon characters from traditional platforms.

Happy Pride Month!

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Reblog if you:

  • Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs
  • Have a friend with that problem
  • Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.

How dare you not leave a link to his channel, this guy is the savior of the modern world.

He is the messiah

Dtoons Productions is alive and well on Youtube and Patreon, and I am working with them as an animator/layout artist/writer/rigger/storyboarder/background artist/sound-mixer/voice actor, wherever it's needed. Our crew is growing too. We have a producer now. And to kick off our change in this channel's growth, we're creating one new episode a week into 2021 for a while, and along with that is the quick return of Toons These Days, the first episodes in 4 years!

These two episodes are essentially all me as a writer and animator, aside from Alex and our producer backing it, Jon Causith portraying Doggy, and tunes from Kevin MacLeod's library of great music. If you loved Toons These Days, and want to see more, it is imperitive that you drive up the views like CRAZY when these episodes arrive, because that will determine whether or not that side-show stays on the channel with episodes created after these two! So spread the word about Dtoons! <3 Dtoons Productions (C) Alex Dudley.

Have a great late summer! Especially if you can go out and party.  .... socially distanced and wearing a mask of course.

Callie Rivers is female, but the sharp eye will notice that she's wearing a traditional MALE yukata. This is intentional. Not everyone is interested in going by social norms. I imagine this may not go well with those who don't like her in-universe.

Callie's Delivery (Callie No Haitatsu) is an in-complete one-shot web comic I been producing that is currently on hiatus. It's been that way for several months, and I really want to return to it soon, but I have massive writer's block, and of course, this mental state I am in. I managed to draw this yesterday though!

Welcome to my first Patreon image in like 2.5 months.  It's always a good feeling when I get an idea that gets me motivated to actually create, so I was inspired by Mary Blair and the fact that this week is Shark Week in order to produce this! I only watched like one shark-themed program so far so I gotta get moving on that too!

I really want to create at least 2 more pieces before August ends, but we'll see. As you know, it's been difficult for me to get over my mental state these days.

I been doing a lot of Dtoons fan art in the past years, and that's not only because I am a collaborator with them. I also really enjoy the concept, which is a give-in since a lot of my own work has similarities to it. Annie Mae is an obscure character who has only appeared in the old comic on which Cartoon Cafe, Toons These Days, and What Chu Got is based- she was never animated. She also only appeared in a handful of the comic strips, which is a bit unfortunate considering she had potential to be a great supporting character.

Due people love this movement stuff here is another cool gif i found :P

That was quick! SO quick that I now have only 15 minutes to plug this around online so I will continue the rest tomorrow. I animated this first segment of this #Pencilmaton video: "To Bean Or Not To Bean". It is my second Pencilmation episode. I see I am also created for Layout, which is also true! Directed by Matt Wilson, from a script by Jared Woods and storyboards by Neil Kohney.  

Welcome to cartoon world where everyone can still dine-in less than 6 feet away from each other, and there's no virus to be seen! This is a fan comic featuring characters created by Alex Dudley from Dtoons Productions (https://www.patreon.com/dtoons/posts), as well as many established characters you may recognize. This was written as a possible idea for a Cartoon Cafe episode, but Alex wouldn't be able to animate it in time for this month, so I offered to make it into a fan comic instead.

This was drawn before I had any idea civil unrest would erupt again in a louder way than even 6 years ago.  It's been a trying time trying to figure out a good day to post this. I don't need to repeat all the messages of love, support, and anger everyone has, from people who could express it so much better than I can. I'm actually quite fed up and frustrated, but drawing calms me down, even though it doesn't bring change in a practical way. This year, let this Pride Month stand not only for your orientation, but every color, ethnicity, heritage, and belief. It's not enough that we retweet or post stuff.  What we need is action. Donate to legitimate organizations helping black and LGBT communities, learn about history, write to your congressmen, and please vote!

Out of respect for Dtoons' business, and because this contains unoriginal characters owned by companies, this post is not monetized.

Yes I am doing this image meme! And it is not a charged item due to it being fanart, so I am just being safe. I got a TON of suggestions there I separated them into a few images, mainly by social media platform. Facebook is getting 2 or 3, and so far this is the second one, with the focus on animals, and one alien.
