The resemblance is actually kinda bizarre. Homer is smoking in that picture. Does that make it a smoking jacket, or at least put the word "smoking" into your head since it's so out of character for Homer? Then, the bee's abdomen looks suspiciously like Homer's head. It's more or less the right colour, roughly the right shape, and homer has three hairs on his head, about the same proportional width as the bee's three black stripes, just positioned differently and one is supposed to zig-zag.
In fact if you look at your pic upside down, squint your eyes, pretend he has weird bushy eyebrows and maybe weird predator-style mandibles, you could be convinced you're looking at the back of Homer's head.
That's absolutely terrible and I love it. I want an entire animated series (preferably in old-school flash) featuring his antics. His wife complaining that he never gathers any pollen (the females...
That's absolutely terrible and I love it. I want an entire animated series (preferably in old-school flash) featuring his antics. His wife complaining that he never gathers any pollen (the females do that), that he drinks too much (honey), that he was born without a stinger. Other bees constantly asking him why he's wearing that coat, and him refusing to ever remove it. Make it so.

Have you ever done any animation? I did a bit with Flash back in the day. I designed a short video demonstrating how a patented idea for a fishing bobber/sinker system worked. It was terribly amateurish, but it got the job done and they used it at tradeshows and on their website.
Unfortunately this was probably 15 years ago, and I don't remember much about how I did it. I used Lightwave (3D modeling/animating program) for many years, but that doesn't relate to flash much at all. Sorry.
Lightwave isn't Adobe, but if you have Adobe cc, there's a program called animated that I think does the trick for flash animation. I don't know if people really use lightwave much anymore, but it...
Lightwave isn't Adobe, but if you have Adobe cc, there's a program called animated that I think does the trick for flash animation. I don't know if people really use lightwave much anymore, but it was more for 3d modelling and rendering 3d animation.
That actually takes me back. Used to play around with it a lot about 20 years ago.
That's about when I was into it, back when the competition was 3DS Max, Maya, and Lightwave. I ended up in Lightwave because of some projects (rendering graphics for a small news organization)...
That's about when I was into it, back when the competition was 3DS Max, Maya, and Lightwave. I ended up in Lightwave because of some projects (rendering graphics for a small news organization) being more suited to it. You needed a dongle to run Lightwave back then, as a hardware form of anti-piracy. Looking back, it's all very surreal.
Little USB stick. Flash drives, wifi, Bluetooth, card readers, all sorts of small peripherals. Basically, it plugs straight in to a USB post (without a cord), it's small and portable, and someone...

Basically, it plugs straight in to a USB post (without a cord), it's small and portable, and someone somewhere decided that "dongle" was a good name.

The first time I heard “dongle” was in relation to a physical license key for really expensive engineering software. You could install it on lots computers, but it would only work when the dongle was plugged it. So you were limited by the number of dongles you had.
Back in the day there were serial port, and I believe even parallel port dongles. They were pass-through so you could still use the port for other things. That was pretty much pre-USB, although...

I think the paid version of Davinci Resolve uses a dongle as well. I don't think it changes much about the security against cracking, but it definitely makes things more convenient for people who need to have it installed on multiple machines (different locations, single use at a time) without having to buy multiple licenses.
I think it's quite excellent. The spiderwebs in the eyes remind us of the implacable inevitability of death, while the contrast of the bright yellow evokes the life-giving sun. The hollow,...
I think it's quite excellent. The spiderwebs in the eyes remind us of the implacable inevitability of death, while the contrast of the bright yellow evokes the life-giving sun. The hollow, geometric shapes of the wings are offset against the considerable girth of the insect's midsection, a study in neo-postmodernist perspective.
I can't prove you wrong.
I can. You can tell from the tweed patches on the leather coat, that's clearly the jacket homer simpson wore in the episode where he became a teacher, which is obviosuly a leather bomber, not a smoking jacket.
Q.E.D.
That's an uncanny resemblance. I wonder if my unconscious mind took that as an inspiration.

Oh man, I would love to do this. I don't know the first thing about flash animation. Any pointers?

Lightwave, is that Adobe? I have several Adobe products and one of them, I think, can do that kind of stuff

The fuck is a dongle?
Little USB stick. Flash drives, wifi, Bluetooth, card readers, all sorts of small peripherals.

DRM dongles!
Back in the day there were serial port, and I believe even parallel port dongles. They were pass-through so you could still use the port for other things. That was pretty much pre-USB, although they were still in use in the late '90s.

Pure. Genius. I love it! XD
Thank you!
I don't know why this tickles me so much. I chuckled uncomfortably for a strangely prolonged period of time.
I'm really glad you liked it. I'm very proud of it
