THE 50TH FREEPTOON

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Tonight we are celebrating the most monumental occasion in the history of the world: This is the 50th FReeptoon drawn and posted by the man of the hour, pcottraux.

I can honestly say that when I first started, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I’d like to thank everyone on my ping list, first and foremost, and all the kind words they like to give. I’d also like to thank everyone who didn’t like and/or insulted my cartoons, because it gives me a rush of righteous indignation to thank the detractors.

Okay, first tonight, I’d like to kick things off by unveiling something specially crafted with backbreaking work. This is a brand new and hopefully permanent addition to the FReeptoon universe:

A TITLE PANEL!!

This bad boy will now be run before each and every FReeptoon, as sort of an opening title.

Isn’t that lovely?

NOW FOR THE MAIN ATTRACTION

Tonight I am bringing you a VERY SPECIAL FReeptoon, in honor of my number 50.

In the grand tradition of Superman, I bring you the “Bizarro World” version of myself. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. This is the opposite of Pcottraux and his FReeptoons.

Straight from the smelly, stinking, festering bowels of the Democratic Underground, this is THE DU VERSION OF PCOTTRAUX. His name is “M. Cottraux” (the “M” stands for “Mortimer”). He is my evil opposite/nemesis and every Sunday and Wednesday, he posts his “DU TOONS” on the site of our evil nemeses:

NOW FOR AN ADDED SPECIAL

If anyone remembers, right after Christmas, since I was momentarily tapped out of ideas, I personally constructed a handful of ZOT GRAPHICS for the ongoing sacred cause of warding off those pesky trolls.

Well, tonight, it is my pleasure to present to you the masses with…

More Pcottraux Zot Graphics!!!!!

Sorry about the size issues there. I still don't know how to fix that!!!

(This one isn’t a ZOT Graphic, but I made it anyway)

AND FINALLY, THE DINKLEMEYER

So, as the title suggests, I wrap up this shameless party of self-indulgence and glorification with the icing on the cake:

Tonight’s Dinklemeyer!!!!!

This strip is continuing the first real story in Dinklemeyer’s history: the deathball story. As I’ve been saying, this is a scarcely exaggerated version of what it was like for me being forced to play volleyball in Middle School gym class. Somehow, of all the memories from childhood, those may be the least fond.

THANK YOU, AND GOODNIGHT

ON TO 51!!!!

Cool, a Par-Tay! Congrats on the big 5-0, my FRiend.

Chuck Norris zots AND deathball in one thread? You rock.

[Monkey Face]

Clever, as usual! And very funny!

[Dark Skies]

Vy clever and lots of fun!!!

[pcottraux]

Thank you, thank you.

Chuck Norris zots AND deathball in one thread? You rock.

That's must be what's gotten me this far.

[Rca2000]

MAN!! You have REALLY overdone yourself this time!!

Beautiful. just BEAUTIFUL!!

that pone guy looks like a villain from a Sci-Fi show, or something ((M cottraux).

[pcottraux]

I wanted to go all out with this one. If you've made it to 50, MAKE IT TO 50!!!!

[pcottraux]

Thanks!

[pcottraux]

I didn't just want to say, "Hey, this is the 50th." That would be anti-climactic.

I wanted to make M. Cottraux as weird and bizarre as possible. Since I'm not very weird-looking myself. He's sort of an evil cross between Devo and Willy Wonka, with happenin' 80s sunglasses.

[Dark Skies]

Great work...I felt drawn into several parallel universes, and returned without a hangover. Still laughing too!

Hey, parallel universes, lotsa fun...no hangover. I think you're onto sumpin'.

Congrats on 50!!!!

Your pal, DS.

[DollyCali]

Oh My!!!

This is all so funny & great.. love the new (looney toonish) intro panel & love the zot humor ones.. and congrats on #50!

I am on my way out for evening (yea another date).. but will stop in tonight & take more time to look & squirrel them away in my stash!

Thanks & GREAT JOB~

see movie Cache.. anyone else see it? I am at disadvantage as my date speaks French & I will rely ONLY on subtitles..

[pcottraux]

Thanks thanks thanks. Just wait till I get to 100...what a bash that will be! Just think...I guess it will be double the parallel univeserses! Probably will be a hangover after that, though.

[pcottraux]

Thanks Dolly. I even had to look up how to do different font colors and sizes, because previously, I had no idea.

Have fun tonight with the luckiest man in the world.

I haven't seen Cache. Sometimes you got to be fast with those subtitles.

ROTFLOL!!!!!!

Happy 50th!!!

[pcottraux]

Thanks!! What a great night.

BTW, Tuesday's cartoon got about 500 responses and 2,500 views, one of the biggest threads I've ever posted. I am doubtful that this one will get so big.

[Supernatural]

Well, Happy Anniversary!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.

Having some good chuckles from your cartoons...again!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

BTW, Tuesday's cartoon got about 500 responses and 2,500 views,

WOW!! That's great!!

[pcottraux]

It's incredible. I have Maximus_Ridiculousness (and Paul_Denton) to thank for it. There just seemed to be a lot to talk about this week.
