Yes, this art is back. A watcher noted an error in the writing, so I corrected it (or, at least, replaced it with a new error) and colored the art (yes, I got more pencils for coloring, though I still need to go out and buy a new lavender pencil for Gene).
Anyway...
Seems Tasli sees someone he recognizes walking by. Let's see what happens...
TASLI: "Check it out! It's that Egyptian boy from my school. I bet if we make friends he'll let us play in his pyramid!"
MUBBA: "Oh, I'd like to play mummy, but I'd need to practice my accent"
/Tasli and Mubba jump over the wall they were hiding behind and approach the passer-by/
TASLI (cheerful): "Hi! I'm Tasli! You and I go to the same school. Wanna be friends?"
JAMIE (cheerful): "Sure would! My name's Jamie!"
TASLI (incredulous): "'Jamie'?"
JAMIE (unsure): "Yeah? Something wrong?"
TASLI (disappointed): "No, I just thought you'd have a cool name like Thutmose, Khufu, Amenhotep---"
MUBBA (interrupting; excited): "Or Nefertiti!"
/Jamie is nonplussed/
TASLI (matter-of-fact): "Let me introduce you to Mubba---he grows on you after a while"
Oh my! O:
Is it just me or does Mubba seem a bit confused (at least, more so than usual)?
There's a reason I wrote these jokes as they are. It was done in part as a subtle spite against FA for deleting my last 'Pride' cartoon, lampooning 'ostrich-sexual': an 'orientation' I made up on the spot (as many of the neo-sexualties seem to be), as well for Tasli's intentional 'misgendering' of an OC I also made up specifically for the cartoon (my characters are whatever sex/gender I claim them to be or not to be---just sayin').
I doubt FA can delete this one under any reasonable grounds. ;)
Anyway...
Another watcher asked if Jamie is really Egyptian or if Tasli just presumed it.
Jamie is, in fact, Egyptian. Why? Because I say so, but also I have a few pencils that refer to Egypt/Egyptology---pencils that wouldn't make sense to feature if the character was anything else (granted none of said pencils were made in Egypt lol). ^^
Some may ask if we'll see Jamie again. The answer is yes, unless something happens/the Lord calls me home. I have at least two other Jamie stories in mind, which will include Gene and Mimi. :3
Pencil...
The featured pencil is the least of the pencils mentioned above (I have one REALLY nice one I want to get to---a true grail find!), but this one's still kinda cool. :3
Today's pencil is the 'Glo-Tone' from Pyramid Pencil Co (PPC).
PPC was bought by Shelbyville Pencil Co (SPC) in 1953.
Given the featured pencil has a metal tip, its likely date of manufacture would be after WWII, but (obv.) before its maker was purchased by SPC.
This pencil writes or colors in blue. It's not technically part of my main collection (because it's both sharpened and not particularly scarce ...though good luck finding a set of these), so after scanning it, I misplaced it as fast as I could. :P
I tried looking for it so I could color something in the cartoon with it (to show the color) but it has in fact disappeared. :P
