GrasshopperlanD, for those who are wondering, was supposed to be a sprawling, cerebral, avant-gaurde Sci Fi story about a massive conspiracy, alternate dimensions, and time travel. Halfway through making it, I realized it wasn’t very good.
…Actually, let me rephrase that. Halfway through making it, I realized that I was the only one who was going to like it.
But still, in my unmitigated arrogance, I said something to the effect of “If The Escapist doesn’t pick this up, I’m officially switching to video game parodies”. Yeah, if you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a massive asshole.
…And of course, The Escapist didn’t want it. Why would they?

The Escapist is still a pretty cool site and even though I don’t like all of their series’ they DO have some neat stuff like Apocalypse Lane, which, as some of you may remember, I recently did a voice for.
But I’m a man of integrity! So being true to my word, it looks like I’m making a video game series. I don’t really want to, so I’ll meet you guys halfway: Instead of making a series about video games, I’ll make a series about a series about video games.
This is Mickey the Dick:
…Mickey is essentially the Anti-Jerry. Like all my protagonists, Mickey is essentially an extension of myself. He’s a hyperbolized version of one factor of my personality. Specifically, the part that does not much care for video games.
Here Mickey gets chewed out by the boss:
“You’re a loose canon, Mickey! YOU’RE OUTTA CONTROL!”
“Hahaha, talk to the hand, Old Man!”
“MICKEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!”
…Man, that Mickey is such a rascal! Can you believe it?
I kind of look like that last panel of the boss when you dont make cartoons for a long time.
You are such a stoner. A pot smoking hippie drum circle bong-go loving weed head. If you could have one super power, it would be to grow weed as hair. I like the triple nostril appearance, that’s pretty weird.
Wacky game jokes was highly underrated for being too intellegent for the average newgrounder.
