Fernando and the Pink Floppy Disk of Chaos - Episode 1 - The Phallus in the Sky

Here is the first episode of the Disk of Chaos series.

So far I'm just publishing it just for patrons, not publicly yet.  So please don't share it!

I decided to do this after the ad revenue thing happened, but now I'm wondering if I should just publish it as a single cartoon when it's done rather than a series.  Haven't decided yet.  

I hope you like it!  

Tactical thinking! Mainstream?

Chase made this comment in the Ad rev kerfuffle  post and I'd like to make a new post about it and my response to it because it got me thinking (sorry Chase, hope you don't mind).

Chase: "YouTube's business model itself is a problem. In 2014 it had $4 billion in revenue yet made zero profit. The longer YouTube is in a profit vise, the more it will feel a need to squeeze its content makers to part with less profit, too.

Content is seriously hard to monetize. The major movie studios treat films the way venture capitalists treat startups, for instance; they expect to break even on some, lose on others, and have one or two blockbusters that account for 99% of their profit. Of course, if you're a content guy and you're not on one of the blockbuster teams, you won't be sharing in much of the profit the studios or blockbuster teams enjoy, though. Ends up being feast or famine.

Have you ever considered coming up with a character/series/angle that would appeal to a mainstream audience and serve as a breakout character/series... A chance to have a blockbuster of your own? Lots and lots of artists hone their craft in lesser known areas and make little money, until they craft that breakout act that suddenly gets huge and lines their pockets.

I guess there's the risk it ruins it for you, too. Some artists love their breakout characters, but some of them come to hate them and resent them, especially if they watered things down too much to go mainstream. They end up being known solely for this one huge breakout act, and everything else they do before and after gets treated as irrelevant by most of the public.

I see you going for the low intensity, longer content dialogue-based setups with only a few background changes, and I keep thinking "Seinfeld." The characters are basically always in Jerry's apartment, the diner, or one or two other settings, and it's all dialogue (I guess that's most sitcoms, come to think of it. The characters are usually all at the couch or the table at home, talking. Maybe one scene in the yard or at work or upstairs). The reason Seinfeld blew up so huge was because it was satire of everyday situations that regular people could relate to.

Or if you look at successful cartoon sitcoms (Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park), they're all similar things: making fun of everyday situations or current events. This is where most of the money is in show/series-style entertainment.

You have all the tools to make a cartoon sitcom work (recurring characters dealing with exaggerated versions of problems regular people deal with)... if you wanted to do it. Maybe a mainstream-friendly blockbuster series is something to mull over?"

Thanks Chase, these are good comments.  I think about this often.  

I started writing a fantasy series that would have mainstream appeal, in the way that the second half of Harry Potter, or The Hunger Games does.  It was good practice to write it but I don't think it was "the one".  It wasn't terrible either but to bring it to life I'd need years of commitment and I decided I didn't have it in me.

I think my own sensibilities reside in the mainstream when it comes to action adventure, magic, fantasy, hero's journey that sort of thing, not so much sitcoms.  In other words I wonder if I have the ability to write comedy that is funny to a mainstream audience.  I think I could write something that was more of an action/drama story (not a humorless one of course) that would have some popular appeal.  Actually bringing something like that to life as a single animator is challenging to say the least, whereas situational conversation pieces with some reuseable assets is possible, so I think your suggestions are solid.

I sometimes wonder if Fernando, Gooseman and their world could be successful if I could write them the right way, or if they could never be greater than niche.  I still think the best thing I have written is this massive half hour story with them in it, but again its in the action fantasy realm and would probably take me 18 months minimum to make.  I tried to write it so it's accessible to a viewer who knows nothing about them.  I'll make it some day!

I started to write a conversational thing featuring them only last month.  It starts at a costume party in the Manwhore Industries  building where Gooseman is trying to pressure music journalists to write about Fernando but predictably I ended up with a 2000 word sprawl featuring sedatives, blood letting and lizard summoning.  

So yeh, I vacillate on these questions.   I do try to strike a balance between keeping characters going that I think are worth continuing and trying new things.  I think your comment implicitly suggests I should think more tactically, and agree that I should too, and I have been in my own way, but perhaps I have arrived at the wrong conclusions.  I think sometimes I delude myself in thinking things like Bruce Wizard and Sweet Boy Beach will be compelling to more than a small percentage of people.  Certainly the Fernando story I'm animating now does not have a lot of mainstream appeal.

Thanks again for your comments.  If anyone else would like to share their opinion on this topic I'd like to read it.

Tobey Maguire (new song)

Hey guys here's the results of the collab.

Here's an mp3  if anyone wishes to have a copy of this beauty.

What do you think...worth animating a cartoon for this?

Ad rev kerfuffle

Has anyone been following the youtube ad boycott thing?  I noticed the ad revenue on the day I uploaded the Sweet Boy Beach cartoon was lower than it should be, like less than half of what I would expect.  

Recently a google employee asked me if I had considered "making longer videos".  Yikes wouldn't that be nice if I could animate minutes of animation like shooting a video!  

Actually the answer is yes, the Sweet Boy Beach series is an attempt to create the low time intensity, longer content that youtube craves.  But it seems like that matters less than it did a week ago.  

In any case, ad revenue has been dribbling lower for a long time, for me anyway, so we're just circling closer to the drain.

I've come up with a couple of ways I could deal with this.  I could set a target for the patreon where I would switch all ads off on youtube.  And I could release the series I'm making now as a paygated stream on Vimeo or a similar site (all patrons could watch for free of course).  That would suck because far fewer people would watch it.

I'll give it some time anyway and see if things go back to normal.

On another topic I've started another Song Jam .  I'm not sure if it will be something worth animating a cartoon for yet but it's coming along pretty nicely.

Sweet Boy Beach - The Stranger and the Storm

Here's the public version  if you feel like sharing it.

It would have been more appropriate to upload this yesterday because it was the wettest day in six years, but I kept noticing minor mistakes that necessitated re-exporting it, and because of the effect I use on the backgrounds it takes a long time to export and upload, and then it was late and I was like ffuuuuuuuu...

I think this one turned out well.  I like the Robungo character and the new locations at the beach.  I'm not sure how many easy to draw/paint places I can think of for this place.  A jetty... public toilets... ice creamery... yoghurtarium.... yeh.  I'm sure they'll come in time.  

For anyone who missed the last post, I'm switching the patreon to monthly.  I wrote about why here!  

So back to Fernando and the Phallus of Glycon now.  I've got all the voices sorted, 95% of the assets and probably over half of the animation done, it's starting to smell ripe!

Thanks guys, hope you like it!

Sweet Boy Beach soundtrack.

Here's the tunes used in SBB Ep2:

Super Fierce Special Spirit Zone (the main theme)

Nice Boys 

This is the theme from Milk of the Manwhore  (an early Fernando toon from 2011) slowed down a bit and with slightly different drums.  Not sure if it's worth listening to on it's own merits.

I made this track  for the storm drain scene but it didn't work, which is why I recycled the one above.  It's actually a rehashed version of part of Cheap Meds. 

Cheers.

Switching from "per cartoon" to monthly.

Hey,

So for a while now the amount of people watching my cartoons has been on a slightly declining plateau path.  The same is true for patron pledges.  So I want to make a few changes and see if I can reverse both trends (or one of them at least!)

I'm going to switch the patreon to trigger monthly instead of per cartoon starting at the end of this month.  

I want to try and build my channel by making more shorts like I used to back in 12/13.  But I also want to make longer narrative stories, so I'm going to do both simultaneously.  

In the past I didn't feel like I could trigger the patreon for something I didn't spend very long on, for example Calloused Hands (which took me a bit under 2 weeks) and Sweet Boy Beach (5-6 days).  On the flip side, there's the Fernando toon I'm making now, which is probably going to take 5-6 weeks all up.  Most of the cartoons I've funded with patreon have been this way (I usually overshoot by at least a week but sometimes longer, I think I spent 2 whole months on Sweet Sweet Goo).

I'm also going to turn the Greasytales channel, where I've been uploading the ad-free versions of the cartoons, into a place for collaborations similar to the greasytales facebook page.  

Switching to monthly will hopefully allow me to make shorter and longer things.  Perhaps some of you will reduce or cancel your pledge as a result of this, if that is so it's understandable and thank you very much for your support!  Without you guys I'd be working for someone somewhere and not making cartoons in the manner I do now.  Your support has been liberating and amazing, and I'm very proud of *most* of the things I've made in the past almost 2 years on patreon.  However I will be spending the same amount of time animating as before, and I will be producing cartoons more often (that's the plan anyway).

Finally, if I do take a temporary job or go on a holiday I'll set the patreon back to "per cartoon", I'll only collect your pledges if I spend most of the month on cartoons that are not work for someone else.  

Thanks.

PS working on another Sweet Boy Beach on the greasytales page! 

lick lick lick

Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky henceforth referred to as "skydick" is coming along pretty well.  Usually at this point during a project I start to dislike if not hate it and question my judgment in starting such a horrendous enterprise but that hasn't happened this time so that's a good sign.

I would like to finish it by the end of the month, it's looking kinda unlikely at this point though.  

Up until this week I thought I might be making a Great Destiny Man series (of shorts, not  full length episodes) for an American network.  It got pretty far, they were really positive and I was even sent a schedule of delivery at one point (which was pretty brutal), and then a loooong wait and then BAM, not happening.  They did say maybe in the future but it was essentially a rejection.   

If you don't know what I'm on about, Great Destiny Man is an old old character a friend of mine invented.  My final year film at uni  was about him and I made a sequel 2 years later that was five times as long and not as good.  People usually react by saying "Steven Segal" or "Samurai Jack".  Neither resemblance was intended.  If I ever do bring him back I will be tweaking his design so he doesn't resemble either of them.  Not that I think he does resemble Segal very much, Segal has VERY THIN EYEBROWS.

Sky Phallus update

Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky is coming along swimmingly.  It's awesome to be animating a flying sequence with Princess the goat and of course drawing Fernando again.

Ocelot is going to voice the significant new character.  Ocelot also voiced Raymondo from World's Greatest Manwhore and Sergei from Ultimate Street Yacht Battle.  I usually give him bad guy parts, I don't know why but it could be because his voice contrasts nicely with mine.  I've heard some of his early takes for this character and they sound great.

I was involved in a pitch recently and we were expecting a yes or no answer no later than 2 weeks ago.  My experience with making series for people leads me to expect no less than 3 months of careful deliberating on any major decision, so I can't say I'm surprised.  Hopefully next post I will either have awesome news or a cool new rejection story.

Ol' Fernball's triumphant return

The gif above is the first few shots of Fernando and the Phallus in the Sky.  Usually I do all of the assets and do the animation later but this time around I'm doing it differently.  It's more or less already storyboarded in the comic so that saves me time too.

I have another script called Fernando and the Phallus of Glycon, but it's so incredibly huge (25-30 minutes and full of action) that I'm unlikely to animate it any time soon, so I'm only a little bit worried about having too many cartoons with "Phallus" in the title.  On that topic I'm also a bit worried about this not meeting the youtube community guidelines, but some risks you just have to take.

It will be amazing, just you wait!

Thank you again for your support for Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick.  The response has been really positive and I'm glad I made it.  I don't know if I'll venture back into the realm of Bruce Wizard...but I do have a Harry Potter parody idea believe it or not.  I thought about animating it now but I don't think it would sit well back to back with Bruce Wizard...too much magic school.  Some of you might be rolling your eyes at the prospect of a Harry Potter parody but believe me, I wouldn't make one if I didn't think it would be worth watching.  Anyway it's on the shelf, maybe I'll get to it this year, maybe not.

Bruce Wizard - Magic Trick

Here's the public version  if you're tempted to share it.

There was something about this one, when it was half finished until just recently I despaired of it fitting together, and I felt quite despondent about it.  But when I figured out what the music should be and finally got the lines for the Wizard of Zardoz character, it started working, and I'm mostly happy with it now.  I hope you all like it, it is certainly one of my weirder ones.  I love magic stories and I like the idea of Bruce, this guy who can't do magic masquerading as a wizard (but he does have a magic hat and an amazing headpiece.

I started a new Fernando series today.  It will be a three part adaptation of this unfinished comic (if you haven't read it yet, maybe don't read it now because it will spoil the story).  I'm thinking of calling it Fernando and the Disk of Chaos, that will either be the series name or one of the episode names.  I'll post more about it soon when I've got a few shots done.

If I could just toot my own horn a little here, I think this is one of my better soundtracks.

Bruce Update

I thought I'd have it done by now! I might be able to finish it this month, not sure yet.  Just kinda blew out.  

I have made a nice theme for the first half but the second half hasn't fallen into place yet.  Also, I'm having some weird technical problems with the voice actor for the antagonist character and don't have those lines yet.  So yeh, and that's all I've been doing this month!

Swet Boyz feat. Buce Wyzyrd

Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick is coming along swimmingly, at least visually.  It will definitely be one of the weirder ones.  Will it be entertaining or any good at all?...only time will tell.  I think that's part of the challenge when making something surreal and absurdist, it's harder to know if it's working before the elements come together.  I'm trying a new voice actor for the WizardOfZardoz character I think I mentioned in a previous post, I think he'll be good.

Sweet Boy Beach has gotten more views in it's first week than some of my regular cartoons from the past year, but the reaction to the characters and the content was much more positive than I expected.  I thought I'd get slammed for making something so limited but only a few people have bitched about it.

I want to make another episode, but I think there's a limit to how far I can take the existing assets, so I need at least one new Sweet Boy and setting.  I kinda want to try just making Sweet Boy Beach for a whole month, see if people get sick of it.  I think I'll leave it until after I finish Bruce Wizard though, which should be towards the end of the month.

*edit* by the way, anyone with a custom credit who would like to change theirs for a bit of variation, let me know.

Sweet Tunes

Some sweet tunes here from Sweet Boy Beach

Sweet Dunes I made this after visiting a modern art museum.  It has a companion video and they're supposed to function together as an installation but it was too boring so I didn't post it anywhere.

Nice Boys The melody is pretty derivative of the track I used for the early versions of the cartoon.  I intended it to replace it as the main theme but it didn't work at all.  In fact it was such a poor replacement it discouraged me from working on the project for a while, that's mostly why I left it alone for six weeks.

Super Fierce Special Spirit Zone  this one is  an oldie from Manwhore Industries

Sweet Boy Beach - The Gloriously Crappy Adventures of Cuthbert & Dante

I finished the collab cartoon from December.  I think it turned out ok.  Worth making more?  Not sure.

(Btw not treating this as a patreon cartoon, just an experiment.)

January

I've been storyboarding a tv length project for worldstarhiphop.com for 4 weeks now.  A few days ago, Q, the founder of worldstarhiphop, creator of the original concept and client for this job, died in his sleep.

So suddenly it looks less likely that this cartoon will be finished, since it's only at storyboarding phase.  It might still happen, the producer is committed to finishing it in Q's memory.  

In any case I'll be finished in 2 days and then it's back to Bruce Wizard.  

Pictured above is Wizard of Zardoz, who has been studying at wizard school for 32 years and has developed serious doubts about Bruce Wizard's magical abilities.

shitpost

Thought I would share this gif of shot 1 of Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick as I'm pretty happy with it.  Yeh it's supposed to look like a ripoff of Hogwarts...cause it is.  The text on screen will be "Wizard School".

Some of you might have read some of the house of squid comics my friends and I have drawn over the years.  Last night we had a gathering of 8, including all but one of the old crew.

Here's the first one.   If you want to read more after (and I'd understand if one was enough), click the <- button down the bottom.  Theres 8 new ones.

I put Bruce on hold this week as I started a storyboarding job.  It should go for 3-4 weeks.  It's for a TV length project although I'm not certain what they intend to do with it, probably pitch it around so I don't know if it will make it on to the internet at any point.  It's been challenging in a good way so far and they're happy with the work I've done so hopefully it will go smoothly.

New Years Eve WORD WALL

Last day of the year huh?

The title image is Bruce Wizard teaching a class at Wizard School.  You can't see it here but in the reverse shot it is revealed that his pupils are tremendously bored with his whispery drivel.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your patronage this year.  I really hope that I have made a few things you enjoyed.  Without your support I couldn't continue to make eccentric cartoons with no commercial basis for existing.

I can't remember if it was for new years last year but I did a brief review of my first patreon projects approximately a year ago so maybe now is a good time to look back.  It's a bit of a word wall so I don't expect many people will read it all, but perhaps a few of you will find it of some interest.

January - Raw Latex 3: I'm really happy with this episode, it felt like it had a burden on it because it had been two years since #2 and #2 hadn't quite lived up to the promise of #1, but #3 seemed to please everyone and re-energised the series.  It was helped by me making a cartoon for vanossgaming at the same time which had a link to it, that was the last time I worked for him though so future cartoons did not benefit from this.

March - Let's go Clubbing!: I imagined Let's Go Clubbing as a saga of two storylines (from two different improvised comics drawn by my friends and I) interweaving with each other and clashing in a dramatic climax of surreal majesty but it didn't really come together in reality.  I'm not sure if I failed to turn two great comics into a great cartoon or failed to identify that it wasn't a great idea to combine the two in the first place.  Either way I don't think it's bad, I think it's a solid surreal sketch cartoon but it didn't quite live up to how I thought it be in my mind, and it's more playfully odd than it is funny.  Interestingly it's done pretty well without any external help...I think it's the boobs in the thumbnail.

April - Meth Orcs:  The source comic is great and I think I pulled it off.  I remember spending lots of time on the paintings and I feel like I succeeded in creating a good fantasy setting for the first time with this.  It did really well at first and then plateaued for some reason.  Not sure why, I mean come on it's got a curvy Orc in the thumbnail.  I would happily make a Meth Orcs 2 if I had a strong idea for it.

July - MOANCORE: I'm really happy with the musical element of this, particularly the end credit music.  Generally I like the second half at the open mic night.  I don't know how well it came together as a story, I struggled a bit with converying Gooseman's deception.  I also like the part with the tape and the boom box.  I think this one is pretty good but the story wasn't all that compelling.  I hope to tell some more interesting Fernando tales this year.  The moaning element was really fun and got a great reaction from people.

Sep/Oct: Calloused Hands/Final Form: I'm really happy with both of these, which were mostly written by people on the facebook page.  I kinda got bogged down in the third song, and also I noticed that facebook was showing my musical posts about making the songs to less and less people so it became harder to get good lyric suggestions, so I'd need to think about another transmission method if I was to keep going with this writing method - perhaps a second youtube channel.  Either way these cartoons were a welcome change.

November - Raw Latex 4: I think this one isn't quite as good as #3 but it's solid. It advances the story and sets up the last one nicely, and the jokes work.  Unfortunately it has totally bombed.  Compared to #3, the number of viewers is way less, which is a real shame but I have to accept that if I am going to make a web series the episodes should come out semi regularly or else people will lose interest.  

December - My Mother-in-Law is a Scorpion: To balance the faceplant of Raw Latex 4, MMLIAS has performed better than anything else I've made for my channel after 2 weeks, with the exception of Wrong Number, which received a massive boost from reddit back in 2013.  I think it's a really enticing title and thumbnail combination, but it doesn't disappoint once you succumb to the clickbait.  I've made songs that I like more, but I am really happy with the cartoon itself, I think the dinner table scene in the first half is one of the best scenes that I've done.

Generally my tactic to make music videos for a while has done ok.  It hasn't totally rejuvenated my channel but all three turned out well, were fun projects and were received well as standalone works.  Unfortunately I don't have any more top shelf music ideas for now, I should work on that.  I have a good idea for a horse song but I think everyone would just say "this reminds me of weebl's amazing horse song" if I did it.

Next project is Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick.  I'm starting a storyboarding job on Monday that will go for about 3 weeks and delay Bruce a bit.  After that, for the rest of 2017 I want to expand the world of Fernando a litle more, in a bigger way than I did in 2016, and I want to keep making music videos but I'm not sure which ones yet.

I hope you all have good new years eves, even if you choose to stay home.  I'm going to a party with a crowd that has a tendency to stay up until dawn drinking, don't know if I'll go that far but I'll probably feel rotten tomorrow.

Next project.....

I've made a new section for my crowd written cartoon Sweet Boy Beach  (starts around 1:44 if you remember the first part).  My goal was to finish it before christmas, and I got a good suggestion for how to end it in one more part, but I've been simultaneously working on a piece of music for it, and when I put it into the project, it was no where near as good as the placeholder music, to the point where it felt ruined.  So I need to give up on making it quickly and come up with some more suitable music before this one can be done.  It's been an good experiment in any case, I don't think I would make this kind of thing long term even if it did give youtube's algorithms what they want, there's too much lip programming and too little drawing.  So I might continue this in January but I'm putting it down for the moment.

I've started Bruce Wizard: Magic Trick.   If you haven't seen the first Bruce Wizard, this one will be similarly surreal and quasi-magical but bigger, better and with more of a story.  It's about Bruce teaching a class at Wizard School (which as you might be able to see in the picture, is kinda like Hogwarts) and losing the confidence of his students.  

Storyboarding it out, I'm a little worried it will be too disjointed and weird...probably the classical filmmaker in me crying out in protest.  I think I can safely ignore him because sometimes it's good to make something strange.....right?

I have agreed to storyboard a web series.  It's a new version of the thing I was working on six months ago, which never saw the light of day for some reason.  Assuming it actually happens, I'll be doing that and Bruce Wizard at the same time so that will prolong it a bit.

My Mother-in-Law is a Scorpion

Here's the public version if you want to share it. 

Thank you so much everyone for helping fund another of my monstrosities!  I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

This is how it started life,  almost 4 years ago now.

What do you guys think about titling it something else and removing the scorpion from the thumbnail in order to not spoil the reveal?  I'm reluctant to call it anything else because it's such a fantastic title.

My plan is to make some more Sweet Boy Beach in the short term (see previous posts if you have no idea what i'm on about).  Will be back with results and next project details.  

Cheers.

Scorpiooooooo

My Mother in Law is a Scorpion happening this week!  Like, 4 or 5 days.  Gotta fix up backgrounds and put some polish on the song.  

Tried out some harmonies and also falsetto, which is a first for me.   When I've tried harmonising in the past I've done it in my safe zone low notes, and its sounded a bit rubbish, or very rubbish perhaps.  It seems singing high is the way to make it work.  But the separate takes mask the awkwardness of each other I think.  Not sure if the falsetto really adds to it but it was something I wanted to try.

Anyways, I'm all set up in my new place, which is larger and does not have rancid old carpets that stink if you shut the place up for 3 hours.  Not in a hurry to move again, that's for sure.

When I finish this cartoon, I'm going to put some more time into my Sweet Boy Beach project, (see previous post).  Hopefully I can come up with something that works as a film and proves the idea can work (or proves it can't) before christmas.

On this topic kinda, this video by the game theorist explains why my channel has sickened and shrivelled over the last few years, and why content on youtube is becoming increasingly corporate.  Very illuminating factual video.  The session time thing I've known about since 2013 (it is why I had a great year in 2013 and every year since then has been a struggle when it comes to views and subscribers), but the daily activity thing is new.  Makes me wonder, even if my Sweet Boy Beach  content experiment was good, will Youtube even promote it?  Using that technique I believe I could make a decent cartoon once a week, but certainly not once a day.

Content experiment - Sweet Boy Beach

*edit* the first version of this post had a dodgy link to the video , its fixed now.

A few days ago I posted two sketches of beach dudes on the facebook page and asked what sort of things they'd say to each other.  I got some good suggestions and I made a short cartoon with very limited animation out of it.

I was motivated to do this after attending a youtube event at my old uni campus last Friday.  I was on a panel with the guys from the Big Les show which went ok, I don't think I embarrassed myself, it was a pretty good day but I digress, the guy from youtube really brought home that youtube is about content and they don't give a fuck how long it takes to make of if it's original they just care if it's creating long session times.  

I've been toying around with an idea of a viewer generated show with limited assets for a while, but the guy from youtube's lecture pushed me to try it.  It would be expanded from what is here, with other characters and settings, all suggested by viewers.  I reckon I could pump out 5-6 minutes of this kind of thing a week once I had the assets.  Coming up with a method that cracks youtube's preference for longer videos is an alluring challenge.  

The question is: Would people watch it?  Is it even watchable, much less entertaining?  It's an experiment so I'm prepared to accept it's a failure (btw this is not a patreon project).

The music is Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Reminiscence  (used without permission, it's a placeholder until I make my own music, even though I doubt I could create something as good as this track).

In other more painful news I started moving house today for the first time in 8 years.  bleh.  Because of this content experiment and the moving My Mother in Law is a Scorpion won't be progressing much but I'm planning on hitting it hard as soon as I'm set up in the new place and we've finished cleaning this place.

Raw Latex 4

Hey guys, here is the public version of Raw Latex 4  if you want to share it.

And here's the Raw Latex playlist  if you want to catch up on any or all of the previous three.

Holy smokes one more episode to go to finish the series.

Thanks for supporting this ruthless endeavour and I hope you like it!
