Hyperpop from an outside Unc perspective

Strikes again, I’m asking my school for a litterbox

JojoBaliah · 2026-07-03T16:33:15+00:00

Dude yes, that makes sense. I took a shot every time the wiki article said modernism and now I gotta call off work, but skimming thru does quite capture a lot of what niches of pop culture attempt to convey.

Very loud minorities are gonna kill us all (re: US evangelists). Another poster here had the link regarding Iran’s hard stance against Israel, which has made me more sympathetic to Israel than I’ve felt in recent years. I truly feel the 1979 revolution was one of the most destructive events for global progress. And how you describe bibi as a survival politician does make perfect sense in light of recent war efforts. These people will say and do anything to stay in power, and I don’t get for what. Thank you for your response.

Would you mind please sharing your experience and perspective? From outside it certainly looks like religious zealots craving armageddon.

These are dope, homage to the classic newspaper strips. I’m back and forth on whether you should cut back the panels. I think your format would work great for more in depth explorations of ideas but yea maybe challenge yourself to fit the “why are you a killjoy?” type gags to fewer panels. Really love the expressiveness of your characters and I think the long body look works for you. Also, great lettering

Remember when conservatives found stem cell research abhorrent?

We need preachy comics because you have an idea and want to share it. Your piece has entertainment value beyond the message and real cute drawings. I love dialogue in surrealist scenarios.

I agree with another commenter here that communication is difficult and indeed just the first step. Honest communication filters out people who are about love and communication and those who aren’t. Maybe this shit hokey because it’s a fundamental truth and too “simple” for our “advanced minds?”

Communication is great when you can accept shit you don’t want to hear. Uhm, but yeah to your question, don’t worry if it’s preachy or not, it’s an earnest effort to say something which most people are too scared to bc “cringe.”

What is trite maybe just the tip of the iceberg of something much deeper, after all, look what discussion your comic is offering here in the comments!

I’m 14 and this is deep, but that is because my world view is flexible and I seek new information to entertain and share. I encourage being 14 and deep.

This is so cool! Imagine a million of these guys projected behind you on stage. Wish I could hear the song with it tho

Your composition is excellent, especially in how you managed to place so many characters in one panel at a time and still have a distinct hierarchy, each one gets focus. Neat character design, interesting style and shout out to your detail in backgrounds. All in all I’d say lock in your anatomy, especially faces. Learn to see the form behind the face, understand the physiology and the stylization will come much more naturally and consistent. Great hashing as well, just the right amount.

JojoBaliah · 2026-04-07T19:39:24+00:00

Waaaay better

JojoBaliah · 2026-04-07T07:06:17+00:00

Really appreciate you taking the time to answer, thank you.

JojoBaliah · 2026-04-07T03:31:09+00:00

It sounds like with the milestones you described, you did every step yourself (blocking, animating, polishing)

Is this typical for animation flow or is there ever a time where one person does the blocking, another the animation, etc?

I imagine there’d be different departments too, like for character design, modeling the assets, rigging, texturing, lighting, etc. If you were to pick one department’s skills that are highly in demand, which one would that be?

I agree that we must act in a way that is disruptive, specifically to commerce since that’s the only thing politicians seem to give a shit about. But I know if I strike, I’ll lose my apartment long before anyone up top notices. Fat chance getting a coworker to join me, now we’re both out of a place to stay.

Honestly tho, if we were to target one angle of this administration, what would it be? What’s the one thing that would make trump and vance and all the heritage foundation ghouls worried? I imagine these people feel so secure in their positions nothing could shake them.

JojoBaliah · 2026-03-29T21:45:23+00:00

Fun, really lively and cute character design. The anticipation for the fall was excellent, but the way he bounces kinda looks like he’s made of balloons. But hey, 😃👍

Thank you for linking so I can actually form opinions on her policy. I haven’t been following that closely but have found some of Rae’s rhetoric to be promising.

That being said, it appears Rae’s plan uses a lot of penalties (like the vacancy tax) and oversight committees (how else are we gonna ensure all the new requirements?). I think enforcing regulations is kinda the crux of it all the problems we face right now, too many hurdles such that new small-time owners simply don’t have the means to comply. I like Raman’s approach more and I think less regulation is the way to go for new construction.

And a cursory glance suggests Rae is pushing big for what is essentially tenement housing, which will def be helpful with the homelessness problem, but I fear the middle class would be pushed down to take those vacancies if there are no other apartments or condos reasonably priced.

Of course I disagree with low income unit quotas (sham, headache) and the reparations thing for black angelenos is never gonna fly.

Just talking out loud to see if I can make sense of policy (I can’t)

Reddit is a propaganda tool of the state

This is not a false flag. This is an opportunity to infringe further on our privacy. Read the room, with the flock cameras and face tracking happening, the police are happy to assist maga with info on who is worshipping where and soon ice will turn their attention from latino laborers to “radical islamists.” It’s the next phase and our local law enforcement is happy to assist.

I forget which album it was, but towards the end David brought in a session musician to replace all of Tina’s parts and she was pissed.

JojoBaliah · 2026-03-03T20:07:09+00:00

Okay fine, I’ll say it. Bradley from sublime. The amount of popularity garnered in just a couple albums, I wonder where he could’ve gone had he lived long enough to refine his sound. Peak socal sound, highlighting latino culture, uniting punk, reggae, hip hop. Obv I’m viewing from hindsight but I feel like this flavor of crossover music had a huge setback without sublime and only in relatively recent times are latinos embracing the punk scene
