Featuring parody Pokémon character "PikaPoo."
[1] JOY; [2] INDIGNATION; [3] FRUSTRATION; [4] UTTER CONTEMPT.
Loosely penned while striving to fabricate Pokémon-slash-Valentine's Day sleepwear apparel and, in typical BortQ convention, flamed out in the end (with a side order of self-loathing)… as depicted in the above Instagram screengrab.
yyyyyyyyeah... blame your gluttonous compulsions on the Easter Bunny Twins...
Originally doodled up August 29, 2020 as a comment to a Facebook post by TV announcer and donut connoisseur Jim Cutler.
In short, Jim recalls a particular haunting elementary school memory where his coveted box of 8 Crayola color crayons was upstaged by a fellow student Melissa "somebody" with her brand new 64 color box!
There's a whole video about it - well, a segment of (play at 4:09) - the actual video below is more to do with banned Crayola colors:
The Pet Rock™ - the limited marketing marvel from the mid-70s. No matter the species, it just goes to show, a pet IS FOR LIFE!
Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne & Neil deGrasse Tyson might disagree with the scientific findings of Dunkin' Donuts:
Don't you hate it when you throw in a Pop-Tart, set the toaster to "extra-dark", and then THIS happens?
Mama ünd Papa never took the kids seriously when declaring they'd bore a hole through their heads if they DIDN'T go to Disneyland... the resolve of Gertrüde, Heimlich & Hähnchenflügel was not to be underestimated.
And that's why NASA doesn't call it "7 minutes of sunshine, lollipops and rainbows."
Covid has taken from us the inalienable right, nay, duty(!) to cough on people without consideration…
But, I tell ya', once this whole pandemic thing is over....
Bad News: Trump's off the hook. Again.
Good News: It's a fresh start for Polly.
Somebody blasted a “Buck Rogers In The 25th Century” publicity photo (circa late ‘70s) into my Facebook feed and… well… I had nothing to do, so my mind went to a moronic place:
Doodled for an audience of one: me!

In hindsight, it might've been prudent to check the week's calendar prior to the company shutting off the water for maintenance... alas...
What transpired in the doodle above can be traced back to the two arts’n’craft critters brought in to work by Licensing Lady® created by her offspring.
Below are the actual characters, seen here in happier times:
The Bernie Sanders/Mittens memes… you all know what I’m talking about, right? They’re everywhere! You can’t escape them! Bernie & Mittens are the new Baby Yoda memes (thank God!).
So why not one more? And with kitties?
Why not, indeed.
The below is from Monty’s facebook page. Be warned: the following post is extremely too cute for politically delicate audiences…
See, I told ya’! It sheds of cutesy-pooness!
Now, because the above parody pic features a prominent U.S political iconoclast, it didn’t take long for the way-too-sensitive naysayers (the “stupids” as I now call ‘em) to crawl out of their hiding-behind-anonymity crevices and comment this particular post was POLITICAL.
“Political”? I don’t recall Monty’s nor Molly’s names on the electoral ballot - Representatives or Senate. What are these people talking about… … … … … oh, because it features Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.
*cue facepalm*
Before negative comments could stomp all over the likes & hearts and potentially hijack the conversation, Monty’s admin had to make a disclaimer the Bernie/Mittens/Monty/Molly post was a parody. Heck, people! Monty’s people’n’kitties reside in Denmark for criminy’s sake!
As a advocate of everything parody - and to parody the stupids (no offense, stupids) - with legal pad in hand, I responded with the below scribble:
Take that, stupids!
And to the normals, you’re most welcome.
Krappy Doodle On A Legal Pad Time:

Moogoo J. Migraine From Planet Migraine Fleeing Away From That Migraine-Inducing Rock Called ‘Earth’ With A Killer Migraine!
Waiting for a guy to come 'round and fix a leaky roof... and waiting... and waiting... gave me time to scribble out more nonsense.
Clockwise, from top-left: every now and then, a guilty pleasure of mine is to play old episodes of the discontinued podcast "Serving Donuts"; sunny Acapulco with bonus kraken assault; some citizenry from Farmyard Heights; Buddy, the dog; and Bat-Person.
Nothing of any meaning here… just me doodling on my legal pad while waiting for a huge file to finish auto-saving throughout the day yesterday.
Actual “artists” - those to whom get paid drawing for a living - would label something like the below “Warm Up Sketches”… just some crap they do at the beginning of the day before any actual creative stuff happens.
For me, when these scribble-dee-doo-dahs were barfed up, it was mid-afternoon (I was all coffeed out, exhausted, dying to get home and dive into a warm bath) and, every time Illustrator auto-saved an open file that’d take 5 minutes to complete, I’d lean over to my legal pad on my left and:
clumsily draw a bloated shape with a colored highlighter;
if it started to look like a “something”, I’d lightly draw in some structural lines with a red pen;
continue this until whatever-it-was looked MORE like a “something”;
grab a blue or black pen to define the shape and shading of the “something”;
add a background color with a highlighter so the “something” can pop off the page;
add more tones to the “something” with a highlighter.
