Anonymous asked: sometimes it is weird to pay attention to you because i worry that you are severely emotionally stunted and then i realize i like everything you do or link to even if i have not heard of it ... maybe trying to be a child forever is noble. 'when nobody's home, the rainbows just pack up and move on'
Thank you for your honest words. Emotional stuntation is a major problem and I’m ashamed I wear it on my sleeve.
As I continue to post Chancellor Cop & Chancellor Dog panels, you will notice they are ruff and unpolished. I have not erased pencil lines or fixed mistakes or solidified the language. It seems right to put unfinished things on a blog, and I’m following that star. Just a word of warning for those who afraid of the scratches & scribbles. Scrips and scraps, that’s what I believe in. Meanwhile I am finishing up things for way too many anthologies and I’m trying to stay calm and not lose it permanently. I refuse to lose faith in the kartoon image.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING AND YOU PEOPLE WHO CAN’T @HANDLE@ IT CAN LAP UP THE DIRT.

If anyone would like to play Mario Kart Wii online with me, please let me know and I will give you my friend code. This is not a joke. This is as sincere as I can get. This is who I am.
I’m not sure if I really want to do this, but I started a tumblr for images & etc. here:
r-rogers asked: hey i'd be tickled pink if you'd ever be interested in collaborating on drawings via snail mail.
Definitely! Of course! Your drawings make me squeal with delight. If you want to talk more about collaborating through e-mail, let me know: danenitram@gmail.com. Maybe I am an idiot but I couldn’t find your e-mail anywhere. Your animated gifs are the only enjoyable animated gifs I have ever seen.

Every word I say on the internet is a lie.
LEAVE ME ALONE, MOM! I’M WORKING ON MY GRAPHIC NOVEL.
puzzleoverit-deactivated2013052 asked: "Reorganizing words until they are nothing, referencing words but referencing nothing. I think it's ruining my life. Images might be worse." The best is when the mind is trying to grasp for meaning! You have the perfect SENSE OF THAT in your comics. It's why I love minimalism Dane. Yeah, in this society thinking in these non-linear ways does not connect. It's programmed for linear mainstream comics.
I hate how using this sort of language automatically makes one’s comics “wacky” or “absurd” or “abstract” or – the worst – “surreal.”
puzzleoverit-deactivated2013052 asked: just a few triggers gleaned from your list. frozen storage juice, recrumpling brand new dollar bills, scenic codes, scenic colds, geezer codes, leaking garbage bag trails. This is what I enjoy, it's exercises. Hope you get this message Dane. Can I post your list on my page?
Sure! Would it be OK if you just copy and pasted it? I’d rather not post it twice on my page. Internet clutter. Leaking garbage bag trails! Wow.
bluebeadsandbones asked: What are some things you like a little?
Pots, pans, rubber bands,
Liquid paper, nighttime stands,
Shaded sunshine, lemonade,
Frozen orange juice, pickled suede,
Crusted dollars, horny toads,
Mother’s broaches, secret codes,
Mices dipped in bronze that’s new,
Booties made by dad for you,
Chinese towers laced in silk,
Bovines sipping up fresh milk,
Paper bags and sausage links,
Holes inside dry garbage sinks,
Boards and beams, cords and seams,
Aprons cleaning up bad dreams,
Seven maidens in the drink
Worth a night’s wash and a wink,
Pearls shoved in chorus dresses,
Damaged children and their messes,
Pink-tufted plumes on pompous birds,
People who choke down their words,
Dirty tears on brand new clothes,
The choices that you badly chose,
Party pops and brand new games,
Like Pygmy-Slice and Where-He-Aims,
Powdered socks in curly slides,
Fourteen dollars for fourteen rides,
Lamps, tramps, postage stamps,
Nine dry fires in four wet camps,
Courtney’s shoes, dove that coos,
When lawyer licks a leg and sues,
Television night parades,
The lies you made in amber glades,
Rich young animals, wrinkle-free,
Old white mug, your useless knee,
Cabbage garters, hunger strikes,
The royal Carters, Satan’s hikes,
Wrists and breasts, wood-free vests,
corduroy birds on paper nests,
Sanded sun-lined hickory tears,
The way the pain soaks up the years.
drugz asked: If I write a very sad strange poem will you draw an angry strange picture to go with it?
You bet!
battleassheadquarters-deactivat asked: hey I really like your comics and was wondering if you'd like to work out some kinda trade of mini comics?
Sure! I’m a big fan of your comics and I’d love to hold them in reality. Let me know your address: danenitram@gmail.com
danburyshakes asked: Just had to say, I love your illustrations.
Thank you. I like the funnies on your tumblr.
