So disappointing and Disgusting. I used to be a big fan of Swoozie, but this just sucks, the audacity to blame Zeurel for "Being too Busy"

Swoozie got back to me and basically said because 'I' (as in me) have been too busy doing other things he had no choice BUT to do the a.i. thing. (Again, he never got back to me after he said he would.)
You've now got a mediocre video and ruined your reputation due to your impatience. GG my guy.

Don't think I can express how disappointed I am in this. My dms have gone unanswered so far. I'm hoping he aint ignoring me. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

LETS KEEP IT UP!!!! KEEP SUPPORTING ZEUREL AND THE TEAM TO KEEP MONKEY WRENCH FOLOWING SMOOTH!!!!
Doing some number crunching, I reckon if we can hit our 2nd goal of $15k a month by end of year we should easily get ep 7 out by June / July.
If we can reach our 3rd goal of $30k a month then we can work on two eps at once! Wowziers!

That mf Swoozie got a pinned comment talking about dreams and paying collaborators lightning fast.
But apparently he couldn't be bothered to pay Zeurel for the boards he did and decided to be a complete unreasonable dickhead.
All that talk about supporting artists only to spit at them.

Speaking from someone who used to watch Swoozie, it is absolutely unbelievably tone deaf and indefensible that he embarrassed himself big time and stole the commissioned art he got from both Zeurel and Ashley Nichols really shows he's no longer worth endorsing.

Awful.

As an animator himself, Zeurel ain't gonna pull a Swoozie. Not now, not ever. He respects his animators' time and dedication, and if ever any of them can't pull it off, he'll just hire another to take their place.
Like he says in the credits, AI will NEVER touch this show.

In more pleasant news our shows animators are all amazing and pretty cool.

Ashley this SUCKS. I'm sorry to hear. I was a big fan of Swoozie way back in the day and to see you and Zeurel get treated like this is gross.

And right when I thought 2026 was gonna end well and 2027 is a brighter year I get hit by this massive truck of disgusting information, I’m so sorry for you Zeurel… I can only imagine the pain of having your years of hard work fed into ai and it comes from Swoozie out of all people

This is your friendly reminder to watch these indie made cartoons that were made by one person or a small team of animators away from Glitch Productions.
Like c'mon, y'all are seriously sleeping out. Doesn't matter to watch these away from the guys who made TADC/Gameoverse.

Yeah, just Zeurel being cautious with their AI stuff. No caution required for buying monkey wrench merch!

Zeurel has my infinite admiration for his dedication to #monkeywrench and his character designs cause he must’ve drawn Nuts hundreds of times and I try to do it more than once and I’m already being pushed to vent art

Wait.
Is the fourth wall merch store still up?

They are mostly background characters, as Zeurel of Monkey Wrench said, having a large, diverse cast exist in the background, not just the foreground players, makes the world more lived-in.

Everyone support this show before Zeurel himself shows up at my house grabs me by my ankles and shakes a comical amount of quarters out of me and gathers them up in one large sock and walks away laughing. again

Interesting comparison... I forgot that was even a saying X_X.
Also agreed with the point you made referencing Zeurel and his comment.
For me its the principal when doing research. One doesn't have to like the same thing I do, but don't twist facts just to fit a biased narrative.

glitch is the animation equivalent of devolver digital; yes, they are technically indie, but they're so big and encompass so much its hard to put them in the same boat as, say, zeurel or zach hadel/michael cuzak

As much as I respect TADC or even Hazbin for reigniting my hope in the animation industry, I also think they unfairly raised the standards. Don't get me wrong there were always great, proffesional-level animators (ex. Harry Partridge, Draw with Jazza and Zeurel) but people are missing the point.

I knew Zeurel years ago when original character tournaments were popular on Deviantart and the production values he was achieving for the size of his contributions and deadlines of, like, a month, were insane. Back then I was impressed; today I wonder how he's not, like, hospitalizing himself.
