At dinner parties I like to talk about my “craft”. What that means, I have no effin’ clue. I just love the pretentious of it all. I love hearing myself prattle endless — to anyone who will listen — about “honing my craft. “Why do I hone? So can I build my brand”. Why build a brand, you ask? So I can influence a whole generation of idiots to buy shit that they don’t want or need. That’s the dream, right?
This animation sequence is for a short story I’ve written about the cutthroat world of geriatric influencers. It is the result of my practice, of my craft.

Just some character design today. I just finished giving a visualization workshop to a group in Shanghai and I had some extra time to finally illustrate this character in my head.

I love the opportunities for abject stupidity that a story like “ The Hangover” offers. Set up one grand scene of lunacy and tell the story in wince-ful flashbacks and recollections by the characters.
And since Hollywood loves a good merger, a good formula, I offer up my latest film, “Black Out”, a space who-done-what? tour de force.

Many folks don’t know that I run a simian diagnostic service in my spare time. I have no formal training in animal behaviour therapy, however. I just thought there’d be a market for people who recently suspected that their monkey is bat-shit crazy and are hoping to get a quick yes-or-no from some amateur over the phone.

I don’t have scruples when it comes to my products, so why would I bother with the truth when it comes to products’ back stories?!
The Vinchenzi Bros. is my brand for vices. It’s the brand I slap on my cigarette packs. It’s the one I use for my pharmaceutical-grade relaxants. Then there are Vinchenzi Bros. leather ball gags. You get the picture.
So this week, I realized I need to give these two brothers a Juan Valdez backstory. Put some fake heritage into these characters. If I do that, my Amish-style tequila will fly off the shelves.

I’m so excited that MasterClass decided to partner with me, green-lighting my first tutorial series: Anthony Weiner teaches sexting.

Predicting what will be in the “middle aisle” in your local Aldi supermarket is impossible. The randomness of goods defies all logic and commercial sense. Still, I peek over to see what delightful temptations have been conjured up.
What’s the best, most random thing you’ve seen in Aldi?

I, long ago, knew that tech bros in Silicon Valley needed my help. As a part-time shaman, I could see them going astray, micro-dosing to achieve maximum efficiency. And licking toads for that 1% boost in concentration. The wrong kinds of toads, it turns out.
That’s why I started these handy guides. In Part 7 of the “Toads Not to Lick”Series, I detail the reasons why Guatemala’s signature toad might not be the ideal candidate for a traditional Burning Man ‘lick and lounge’ session.
Oh, I almost forgot the clickbait copy! — Reason number 2 will make you question your very own existence!

I am a stable genius. I pass all those clickbait challenges like, “Only 10% of people can see this image!” or “Are you an Alpha Walrus or a Wet Sack of Shit?” I always pass with flying colours.
So I decided to reward the Internet for all this researched feedback and positive reinforcement that I be smart. I decided to give back.
After years of grant writing, clinical research and financial backing from universities and think tanks, I offer this quiz.
Are you smart? This will confirm your every suspicion.

As a society, we’ve grown more tolerant. “It takes a village” and all that jazz. I firmly believe we can do better.
Look after one another. When you see or hear some who has suffered a loss like this poor gentleman, think of lending a hand. Did you know that 87% of adults wouldn’t even get changed out of their pajamas to help a neighbour at 3 AM clean the soot off of their inflatable sex dolls that were damaged by fire?!
Shocking.
Do better, humanity. We’re in this together.

There’s two things I’m certain of. (No, not death and taxes.) Certainty #1: We’re not alone in this universe of ours. And Certainty #2: Whoever or whatever is out there will also suffer through a slow news day, a day where just nothing noteworthy happens and some three-limbed serpent alien journalist still has to pound out copy for the front page of the newspaper.
I imagine this is that day.

I’m gettin’ my clickbait on.’ YouTube is a new frontier for me. When I went to school, clickbait headline writing, internet fraud, and money laundering weren’t offered as electives. So I’ve had to make do.
10 Ways to Party Like Bacchus nearly wrote itself. Although I did cramp up on imagining a fulfilling #6 tip alluded to in this video thumbnail. Luckily, I was able to fall back on my professional colleagues in Oddtoe’s Ancient Greek Research Department.
Wanna know what Tip #6 is? You’ll have to watch the video. Unfortunately, at the moment, designing clickbait thumbnails is my passion du jour. Actually making the damn videos is the hard part.
But this is clickbait we’re talking about here. The video content and quality on the other side of the click is irrelevant. Perhaps I can just pay and film a chubby guy without a shirt on to drink Thunderbird on camera. As long as he counts backwards from 10, I’ve done my job.

Wire Taps is a video comedy about voice conversations you shouldn't be hearing and will never be able to unhear.
See the first episode: https://youtu.be/OQf9hVBX8HI
Similar to Calls, the Apple+ and Canal+ TV show in the United States and France, respectively, Wire Taps is a ridiculously intimate experience.
Illustrated and animated by Oddtoe, this new comedic show uses a similar auditory storyline to Calls, but doesn't take itself too seriously.
In Episode 1 of Wire Taps, listen in on a dysfunctional love triangle. A married couple running an escort service uses the wife's job as a police dispatcher to take late-night orders from pimps and nightclub owners.

I really struggled with the comedic choice of whether the company password in this cartoon should be ‘12345678’ or ‘chunkyButt69’.
In the end, I chose ‘12345678’ for two reasons: I felt it was more relatable and I didn’t want to go though all the effort of changing my main banking password to ‘chunkyButt70’.

TV is saturated with shows about doctors and lawyers. And every other program is set in New York or LA.
On the flip side, janitorial dramas are underrepresented. And Cleveland is…well, Cleveland.
On the back of Oddtoe’s successful series in Australia, “Janitors: Wollongong”, I’m proud to announce our new franchise in the series, “Janitors: Cleveland”!
Synopsis of the pilot episode: Jerome finds a half-eaten sandwich at the bottom of the assistant manager of the muffler shop’s trash bin; he resists the temptation of turning to the Dark Side. Marjorie shuns the use of bleach in favour of white vinegar. And Drugfree Donny sees the real Mr. Clean after a night of sniffing turpentine.”
Hygiene, intrigue, and lots of cleaning product product placement (“Hello, wiffer sniffers“), Janitors: Cleveland will scratch that itch for public restroom dramas that you never knew you had.
(TV show shot on location in Los Angeles.)

No matter who you are, you have feed the social media beast with ducky lip #selfies. Deities compete with D-list reality TV personalities for influence. So unless you can walk on water, turn water into wine, or get your ‘zombie on’ and push a giant boulder from your cave crypt live on TikTok, you are going to struggle out there.

Reminder!! Tonight my annual award, Le Cock, is given out to the person (usually a man) who best exemplifies the behaviours and temperament of a monkey throwing its faeces. Awarded by the Société de Connards in Paris, Le Cock this year is proud to name three worthy dickheads. Lifetime members Vlad and Don are joined by first-time nominee Gary Busey.
An honorable mention goes to that 7-year-old kid that stole my Aldi trolley token last week.

I’m into forgery. Historical forgery, in particular, is my thang.
Some might call me amazeballs at it.
Throughout the pandemic while other folks baked artisan sourdough or surfed Netflix, I was honing my craft.
This photo here is a gem I’m quite proud of. Blending historical accuracy with over-the-counter digital fonts, I was able to achieve a indistinguishable realism that would fool any sight-challenged curator.
So if you’re looking for a $3 bill or a passport to Narnia, I’m your man.

Stable democracies suck as clients. Business development-wise, crazy autocracies are where it’s at.
That’s why today, I’m happy to debut Oddtoe’s new product and service bundle: the Paranoia Picture Package. All the Big Brother graphics an illegitimate, repressive government needs to control a populace in an easy-to-propagate campaign. Billboards (as seen here), TV infomercials, fun cereal box puzzles for kids, urinal cake reminders — there’s nowhere that Oddtoe autocratic advertising can’t reach.
We just opened our Pyongyang office (table tennis, anyone?!), and after a competitive pitch, we just won the Infowars business.
We’re a business on the up-and-up. So if you know a tinpot dictator that’s having trouble Fox News-ing the crap out of his people, get in touch with the only agency to lodge Imelda Marcos’ shoes as a legitimate business expense.
