I uploaded the line art for this one before, but took it down after an hour or so. I've now colored it and MAY leave it up a bit longer now. ^^
Seems Gene is watching 'Chowder' on his phone. Let's see what happens...
PANINI (from phone): "Oh, hi, Chowder!"
CHOWDER (from phone): "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
GENE (thinking out loud, unaware Mimi is behind him): "I totally relate, Chowder!"
MIMI (annoyed): "Oh really!?"
GENE (Eep): "Eep!"
MIMI (annoyed): "You're right, Gene---I'm wasting my time with you! Maybe I could start to like Tasli instead? Sure he's got a bit of an attitude, but it's endearing in its way ...I guess!"
MIMI (attempting reverse-psychology): "And maybe Tasli's kinda cute---he is now that I think about it! Do ya think I should go tell him right now?"
/Without saying a word, Gene reaches into his hat, revealing Tasli (thus calling Mimi's bluff)/
TASLI (irritable; to Gene): "This better be good---you know I hate being pulled out of your hat!"
GENE: "You'll love it, Tasli! Mimi has something she can't wait to tell you!"
MIMI (on the spot): "Oh, hi, Tasli! I-I, uh---that is, I want to say, I, um---"
TASLI (impatient): "SPIT IT!"
MIMI (thinking fast): "I want to tell you if you go out in the woods today, be sure to watch out for Gomphotherium!"
TASLI (unimpressed): "Pfft! I'm outta here!"
/Tasli retreats into Gene's hat---he cannot be pulled out again today; Mimi breathes a sigh of relief/
Gene (chipper): "Well, I guess that means Tasli's off the hook, too!"
MIMI (matter-of-fact): "Tasli was never REALLY on the menu---I was teasing you because I like you, and you tease me back because you like me, too! Face it, Gene, you're stuck with me!"
Oh my! O:
I should have prefaced this by saying I'm not a fan of 'Chowder'--I do not watch the show, neither do I intend to start. The idea for this cartoon came from a MrEnter video which may be seen here (link was working 03/03/2025): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwFBs27b0_U
Yes I watch Mr.Enter (what of it?). q:
Anyway... the usual things must be said in this space: I'm still drawing, I'm just not uploading (and that which I'm drawing almost never sees completion). The reason for this is (you guessed it!) the art is bad; I don't know how to draw. It's become embarrassing to put my art on display, so I must do so very VERY sparingly. It's either this way or nothing at all.
Pencil...
An old salesman sample with a Valentine's theme. I have others in this series: one for birthdays, Christmas, Halloween and Thanksgiving (respectively). There were likely others (Easter; July 4th; etc), but those remain elusive (if they exist).
I always took it as a "if they ever got together the series would end" kind of situation, though, knowing Chippie, I think it's more likely the series would officially end with a "big no" from Gene and Mimi finally giving up on her love quest, which technically also resolves the "central" conflict.

Come now Mimi, we all know the way to win Gene's heart is through ice cream. He secretly seems to love a plump Mimi, maybe it's because it makes her small clothes fit differently, maybe he just likes more bunny to love! Lucky for him, she also seems to like ice cream and is unable to resist a challenge or dare from Gene. Although, he might go broke buying all that food for her. *laughs* ^^

I don't remember ever seeing this posted but one of the other replies here says it was so I'm glad I get to see it now that it's colored. It's cute and silly and that wins me over every time. :D As for the pencil I hope you find those elusive ones cause a set of them would be quite cool. Hopefully you post the others when the time is right. :)

Gene pulling Tasli out of his hat makes him a better magician than Bullwinkle ever was. LOL Bullwinkle: "Hey, Rocky. Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" Rocky: "Again?" Bullwinkle then proceeds to pull anything BUT a rabbit out of his hat, including a tiger once.

Seems vaguely familiar. I'd sometimes see Rocky and Bullwinkle on that short-lived Moose-a-rama block on Nickelodeon. Haven't seen much of it since then.

"The Bullwinkle Show" was an anti-establishment type of cartoon in the middle 60s. After an act of the show finished, Bullwinkle would be on the screen dressed as a magician and holding a top hat. He'd say, "Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" Rocky was noticeably unimpressed and would make some kind of snide comment. Bullwinkle would reach into his hat and would pull out anything BUT a rabbit, including a tiger, and even Rocky. It was a good show and introduced a lot of characters well-known even today, including Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale.
