It's been suggested too, but honestly, I know the people that I give these things to and that is basically the only thing that makes it worthwhile. But for some reason I do feel interested in telling people how they can do it easily and how astounding the results are, and probably better than me, because I just don't have much patience. <br /><br />Perversely it has a become a way for me to say without saying, "I do love you through and through even though you are impossibly stupid. From afar." And that message has resonated so charmingly that people collect them, so I've learned, and share them around, like they go out to dinner for their birthday and show the card they got and bring with them the previous cards. So then those people shown ask.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-8742125782102087362013-04-12T15:52:50.146-05:002013-04-12T15:52:50.146-05:00Chip Ahoy,

If I make time then I'll show how to do this, otherwise you could draw your own thing, and it doesn't matter how crummy your drawing turns out. It really does not matter at all. <br /><br />Here's how I know that. Yesterday on b3ta messageboard confirmed what I knew, a member wrote: today's blind-draw challenge: frog.<br /><br />What followed were member response <a href="http://b3ta.com/board/10950865" rel="nofollow">drawings of frogs</a> made in any program at all done with their eyes closed and the results are hilarious. <br /><br />And to force relevance, which you needn't just as you needn't draw a perfect or even a very good frog, but if you must then,<br /><br />A. Honey I love you so much<br />B. I could croak<br /><br />or just deadpan<br /><br />Please don't croak<br /><br />If this seems odd then I ask you to enter the mind of a child and If it still seems odd then try again in the mind of a boy. <br /><br />Additionally, I can show how to make a pop-up of a frog.<br /><br />Here's the thing. That is just one frog. It could be a frog elevated on a hand, a frog on lily pad, a frog that extends toward the viewer on a cantilevered lily pad. A frog that<a href="http://bour3.com/animations/uploads22/FaiyumBoyPop-UpCard.html" rel="nofollow"> does not say "croak." </a><br /><br />There could be a second page where the action is the frog's tongue. You could make a 3 dimensional frog that sticks out its tongue toward the viewer with a fly on the tip. Or tongue across the page to snag an insect like this <a href="http://bour3pages.blogspot.com/2011/07/chameleon-page.html" rel="nofollow">chameleon.</a><br /><br />Then on a third page. A frog can offer the fly on its tongue to the viewer. Like this bear does:<br /><br /><a href="http://bour3.com/animations/uploads22/bear-popup-card.html" rel="nofollow">"Here."</a><br /><br />Don't you think that would crack somebody right up? Especially when <i>you</i> make it.<br /><br />I must emphasize it does not matter how badly it comes out. You can absolutely suck as an artist, your love and your humor goes much farther than you know, it will heal. <br /><br />I told you of the card made by the guy who printed on regular paper a comic drawn by another b3ta member. A blockish cartoon of Batman punching Penguin so hard poop comes out (the poop is labeled) It cracked up a 6 year old so hard and so uncontrollably at a restaurant in London his whole table fell out laughing which spread to adjoining tables who hadn't even seen the card. That cracks me up way over here.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-87512378290279589072013-04-12T15:30:57.978-05:002013-04-12T15:30:57.978-05:00Maybe the squirrel is rusty.Maybe the squirrel is rusty.KCFleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124201866124646626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1775985960296547082013-04-12T15:29:15.756-05:002013-04-12T15:29:15.756-05:00I've been both blonde and brunette, fun can be...I've been both blonde and brunette, fun can be had in every shade .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-52741019271550890872013-04-12T15:23:12.736-05:002013-04-12T15:23:12.736-05:00Blondes have more bun.

Maude Frickert, of course, and Elwood P. Suggins, the bumpkin farmer, "I think eggs 24 hours a day." There's a whole huge swath of America that you wouldn't know existed and exists to this day to go by the Hollywood/MSM version.
