After all, given that blotter only really takes off in the late 1970s, its story lies mostly outside the conventional ‘60s narratives of LSD.īut if LSD never stopped influencing culture, and if the drug remains a popular goodie-dependably available in underground drug markets, at festivals, and on drug-nerd dark webs-why do I call LSD the elephant in the room? Here’s why. What interested me were the elusive nitty-gritty details of manufacturing practices, drug distribution, and the fascinating and mixed motivations of the artists, producers, printmakers, and dealers who developed the blotter format into a unique mode of art-or iconography, or branding-whose images reflect all manner of aesthetic, cultural, spiritual, and prankster attitudes.įollowing a space opened up by Jesse Jarnow’s book Heads, my research put me in touch with the concrete social reality of the acid underground, which persisted whether or not the drug was in the papers, underground or otherwise. I largely ignored these stories along with discussions of acid ideology, except to the extent that it helps explain the motivation of blotter makers. Hofmann’s bike ride, MK-Ultra’s miseries, Michael Hollingshead’s mayo jar, Kesey’s Kool-Aid, Manson’s mind control, Jerry’s bone-dancing congregation. 1.1 is shaping up to be the LARGEST update we’ve ever done by a long shot, and quite honestly one of the biggest updates Toontown has seen in some time.In a way we already know the story of acid, which can seem superficially settled, even rote, its signature events and colorful characters trotted out like clockwork in many potted histories online: Dr. That’s all for now though! We’ve got some things to still tweak and patch to get this update running as smooth as it can be, and from there, I cannot WAIT for you all to see what’s in store for Corporate Clash. EVERY day as long as this update lasts, there will be something ENTIRELY new to do and unlock, so keep checking back daily! The fun is truly ONLY the beginning! The entirety of this feat was not an easy one by any means, but one the entirety of the Corporate Clash Crew put SO much hard work into, to bring something truly special this holiday season for people to enjoy that brings something new to the table. Without Ricky, Sir Tubby Cheezyfish, and Judge2020! This update would absolutely NOT be possible without all of the hard work they did in programming the entirety of the update, getting up that schweet Christmas blog on the website, and getting the servers running as smooth as possible! Last but certainly not least - out Technical Team. I’ve listed everyone who basically did the majority of all things creatively, but without Loopy Goopy Googlenerd we wouldn’t know HOW to go about creating this update! He directed us every step of the way! Special thanks to Lavender as well, whom we reach out to in order to draw up some very merry holiday themed customization options you can unlock for your Toon panel! Of course I HAVE to include myself in here too! I’m responsible for a lot of the texture art! I did most of the new outfits, all of the accessories Treetop modeled, the snow in the playgrounds, the snowball icon, and the button that takes you to ToonselTown! I’d also like to credit MasterFrasca and thebarbarian310 for their WONDERFUL compositions for the entirety of the update (Including ToonselTown, the new playground themes, the minigame, the theme song, and all of the little carol jingles!)Īs far as modelers go, Treetop Legend did a fantastic job with all of the models he modeled, including Steve The Snowman (one of the NPCs who run for the show of this event! Check ‘em out in The Brrrgh! I hear he even has a ToonTask!), as well as the Accessories he modeled they’re not the only person responsible for this update! Overall, they did some phenomenal work, and should seriously be commended for all they have done. Polygon modeled and textured pretty much all of the exterior for ToonselTown, as well as some of the HOTTEST clothing additions I’ve seen in Toontown in quite some time. That would be Polygon! They unfortunately don’t have a Reddit, but I’ve forwarded your message to them anyway! □
