Jerry Derailing The Skit In Favour Of Tormenting Dean And His Suede Shoes Is One Of My Top Three CCH

Me: Wanna watch a movie?

Mom: A movie? With Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis?

Me: …or both at the same time…

Watching these two live at the Copa must’ve been something special. I wish there was more footage of their nightclub performances out there. It seems like both of them were so much more relaxed and in their element but I feel like I’ve only ever come across video of two or three different shows.

One day I’ll make the M+L Copacabana animatic that’s been knocking around in my brain for months… oh one day the things I’ll do.

I've been spending a lot of time listening to Bo Burnham songs and going "DAMN, this sounds like it was specifically written about Jerry" (mainly about songs like goodbye and art is death) as of late.

The thought has been plaguing me for a while now so I decided to share svsvsjk.

Heh so… I see you’ve got a case of “I see them everywhere” syndrome just like me lmao

To be serious tho I love Bo Burnham. You’re right that a lot of his songs work for Jerry- “Comedy” is a big one and “Look Who’s Inside Again” (my fav song on the album) makes me think of Dean in the lead up to the split not knowing how to be on his own UGHh ALSO- “Goodbye” is literally the breakup/Jerry at Dean’s funeral and I’ll cry.

I had big ideas when I started this- but classes are crazy so sharing what I have (from months ago) seemed better than nothing since I’ve taken ages with this already (im real sorry bout that btw)

It’s really disjointed bc the unfinished sections ;-; but I wanted to try smth low pressure/different. Compiling the clips my reaction was “god this is depressing as hell” bc it reminds me of the vent art I made way back lol… sad Jerry stuff and all.

I love to hear what songs get people thinking about things. Musical connections are cool + Getting fun stuff in my inbox and the chance to blab always cheers me up ^^ thanks for sharing!

Finished this a while back and it could really use more inbetweens but there’s no time for that- anyways THEY DANCE

All I got left to my name is wips

Edit: That is a lie lmao my queue got messed up bc I paused it for Halloween I finished this already

Istg my queue has selective memory. It’s a toss up whether or not it’ll post what I’ve scheduled- Tumblr gods take the wheel ig I give up

Ev’ry street’s a boulevard in ol’ NYC

Only big boys can handle their apple juice

Hiii - wanted to say first thing first I love your art style, it's so dynamic and fun and those color palettes? Stunning ^^

And second thing second, just some food for thought if you ever want to get angsty about Jerry and Dean, coffee by Chappell Roan sounds like it was written about their break up specifically and I can't stop thinking abt it dndnden

*Cue me losing my mind*

Hiii- they say flattery gets you everywhere and turns out with me, it gets you animatics- jkjk but I do appreciate the kind comments ^^

I’ll put up the animatic separately and take the opportunity to leave the preamble here to keep the video post neat bc until someone tells me to shut up and just post art- I’m gonna ramble… So here’s the commentary you didn’t ask for along with my favourite panels:

First off- You turned me into a big time Chappell Roan listener which is great bc I need music recs to fix my listening habits before Spotify wrapped drops. My roundup last year was shameful… Red Wine Supernova is my new dish washing song.

Even tho it’s not the song’s vibe I kept the content as silly as I could for my own sanity. I don’t love getting too deep into the serious/sad side of M+L for a few reasons but I do find it all very interesting. Point being this song was too good to pass up doing something a bit bigger for.

Ngl tho- this did have me pulling out hair at multiple points. I never colour animatics, rarely even tone them- but you mentioned colour palettes and I was determined to deliver so pardon the messy colouring but (that was the tradeoff) I did not have it in me to stay in the lines. I’m choosing to be kind to myself and opt to call it an artistic choice and not midway burnout. And nothing was gonna get me to open after effects/premiere not even the janky ass golf ball OML this only makes sense if u watch the video.

There are parts of this I’m SO happy with and others I hate. I think it’s really obvious which sections I started losing steam on but overall I lowkey like the end product. Nothing I make will ever be good/perfect- this was one hell of a practice in accepting that lmao- but I can still be ok with the work problems and all yknow? I very nearly shelved this completely bc I got so worked up about the maybe 5 panels I dislike out of 106 total. Counting them was eye opening to ask myself: you’re gonna let that small a ratio stop you from sharing this after putting in days and days of effort? The insecurity goes deep and TBH getting asks has been a nice way of working through it since I post the art I make for answers no matter what only bc I KNOW someone out there wants to see it. It might not sound it but it’s actually quite positive.

Also, although I feel I’ve done my fair share of reading, I’m no expert. So if anything is really off point- sorry my bad (I won’t fix it tho bc I cannot physically stand to look at this another second lol)

I tried to stick to real things found in articles/books/photos/interviews etc bc outside of obviously fictional AUs I’m not super into making stuff up about them (and who needs to I mean the legit stuff is already insane enough) Sure I framed the events in specific ways to suit the song and some aspects are fictionalized (mainly bc the referenced written accounts lacked detail to draw 100% faithfully from anyhow) but otherwise I got my sources cited.

ANYWAYS… sorry for hijacking this answer I need to learn to chill out. Irl I’m a pretty reserved talker so you can tell I’m in a comfy place when I let loose and blather on endlessly lmao brevity is not a skill I possess.

You were probably expecting illustrations or smth but I hope what I came up with is still somewhat alright AND please don’t let my complaining fool you, I genuinely loved making this.

One FINAL Relevant Note: the line “nowhere else is safe every place leads back to your place” is gut wrenching. You’re so right about this song perfectly describing the break up. They always came back to each other and there’s something so devastating about that kind of haunting human connection.

OkAY I’m done promise- I thought I’d implode if I didn’t get all that out
