Once upon a time, I was the FIRST person to loudly complain about Christmas merchandise going up in stores early. It used to drive me NUTS to see lights and trees on the store shelves when it was still September or October. (And even a few times in AUGUST)  That said, I started to realize that Halloween stuff is now being marketed and pushed in the exact same fashion, coming out in stores in the middle of Summer, and that it's pretty much the same thing. The only REAL difference was that I was super HAPPY about seeing that stuff so early.  As such, I decided that it was maybe a WEE hypocritical for me to shit on those who get excited for trees and tinsel as WE do seeing skulls and pumpkins. I suspect most folks reading this, however, will be on Heidi's side in this strip. lol

LECTURE 13: THE STONES: Betcha didn’t know The Rolling Stones performed a jingle for a 1964 Kellogg’s Rice Krispies commercial (!!!). This has to be the coolest cereal commercial theme song in the history of television (to be honest, I’m not sure it has much competition). Brian Jones co-wrote the jingle (not sure who with??) for the New York-based J. Walter Thompson ad agency. Mick Jagger performed it with his usual bravado, belting out the lyrics: “Wake up in the morning there’s a snap around the place / Wake up in the morning there’s a crackle in your face / Wake up in the morning there’s a pop that really says Rice Krispies for you and you and you!” Rock on, Snap, Crackle and Pop!

Well, I'm at it again.

I can’t help it. I need to draw mazes. I should try to get them out there. There are so many print-on-demand services that handle all the manufacturing and logistics… it would be crazy to not try & generate some passive income from my mazes. How do I choose though? I certainly have a style. So, I drew a maze, emailed a bunch of services at once, and submitted webforms to others asking why I…

would Quackity from the dsmp become an avatar of the flesh?

Hey, what does "DSMP" stand for anyway?

Somehow I don't think these are the acronyms I'm looking for.

I think part of what I appreciate about Mr. J the cat is that while on some level it might just be another "cat influencer" account, landlady isn't doing like Monetize Your Cat era weirdness. R-slur Grumpy Cat is still on random merch in random gift shops despite dying in 2019. Bub was hauled around the US for years into old age for weird photo ops. Stray cat J is just a guy, in a house, who is a cat.

Speaking of Rakusan’en, though. They recently released this new souvenir card for Rakusan’en, featuring Nagano Tsuyoshi’s Nobunaga artwork and some fancy gold foil lettering.

These souvenir cards are called Gojou’in 御城印, which are commemorative cards that you can buy at various castles in Japan. Castles usually would have a booth with a stamp of the castle’s site, and you can stamp on pamphlets or your personal journals as "proof” that you visited the place. These cards are intended to be stamped with those castle stamps, to keep as extra special memorabilia of your visit. 

Rakusan’en is just the garden, but it seems that the residential mansion that was attached to the garden is actually Obata Castle. Since Obata Castle no longer exist, they offer cards for both Rakusan’en and Obata Castle that applies to the same site. I didn’t realise this at first because there are other Obata Castles in other places, and I’d gotten slightly confused before.

I’m not sure why the office didn’t just commission Nagano-sensei to draw the proper lords of the domain, but maybe Nobunaga is just more recognisable and therefore more attractive to customers. Though Nobukatsu is ostensibly the first lord of the domain entering the Edo period, he doesn’t seem to be distinguished as an independent lord of his own right by the city. All the Oda lords are collectively remembered as “Nobunaga’s bloodline”.

（Edit: Just to avoid being misleading, I meant “first” lord of the restructured/reorganised domains, that is, in the Edo period. Naturally, before the Oda were assigned here, this area was governed by different families. The city claims that the Oda were the ones who revitalised the area, so all the fanfare is about them, and Nobunaga is a very well-known name besides. I’m not sure if there’s much talk about the clans that lived there prior to them.）

The "castle stamp” is not even some unique design either. Instead of a special design that says either Obata Castle or Rakusan’en, it’s literally just the Tenka Fubu seal. Example of a stamped card being sold in the Mercari reseller site:

CM Asks!

Greetings to all of YOU, dearies! Decided to open the Ask box for now while I make assets so you, dearies can know the characters more! Do check out the site first before giving out asks! No worries, this ask box isn’t the main ask box for the Storyline so ask much as you please, dearies! Also, this decision is due to the schedule I have. Noticed that I could not open the main ask box for Cafe Mellowood yet since it has a plot and storyline. Opening it when I get to publish the animation which is what I’m going to work on after working on another video for Cafe Mellowood. Anyway, I do hope you all enjoy, dearies! 💛💛💛💛☕🐳🐳

[Edit] Hello, please say which character you want to ask! Thank you, dearies! XoXo

Something about the lack of good (official) Ed Edd n Eddy merch is so entertaining. I mean ofc there are shirts and pins and the video games. Stuff like that. But something about the merch from the original run of the show is so amusing. You could just tell these executives were being driven to madness trying to figure out a way to market these ugly children outside of just the show, and their failure to do so adequately makes it all the funnier.
