I'm currently working on a short animation. I say short but they take bloody ages to do. It's not quite ready yet. Probably Friday, tomorrow is after all, and I quote -'The end of the Greatest fiction series known to man.'
That is, the very last Uncle Boom episode.
I feel a little sad at the thought of writing the last episode for Uncle Boom. I never intended it to be a long series. It was just a bit of fun originally, creating a cranky, murderous old gentleman to poke fun at the millions of spammers and scammers that were joining Steemit at the time.
I made the following in response to a lot of the 'nice post' spammers
But a series it became. However, like all good things, it must come to an end.
When I started writing it almost two years ago how was I to know that the series would outlast many steemians I had come to know and be friends with.
It would even outlast my Dad who I lost two weeks ago today.
I guess everything comes to an end.
My writing like most things in my life has suffered over the last two weeks.
I only hope I can do the last Uncle Boom justice. It would be a shame to let it down.
This is a bit of a ramble and an apology of sorts. I spent so long on my animation hoping to finish and post it today.
Alas no, hand-drawing all those bloody frames takes time. However, It also takes my mind off of things. Which is good.
Whilst doing my animation I came across another of my old ones.
Isn't it ironic how it panned out? I remember at the time I was soundly set upon in discord and in chat by the users of and creators of bid-bots.
They told me I was spreading FUD and that these promotion services would be good for Steemit and that they wouldn't let bad actors shitpost and bidbot their way into trending.
Yeah, look how that turned out.
Anyway, in the absence of my new animation, please enjoy another from the archives of hardfork fear...
I liked HF-19 but I hope that HF-21 is a tad more sophisticated...
