"Like my balls! (Tig Ol' Bitties!) Real Big! (Tig Ol' Bitties!) Oh my god!" -Humbert


Holy shit, it's been a while hasn't it?

I've been a little bit stuck when it comes to creations. I'm still struggling to come up with

new and interesting things, and nothing much has happened recently, although I did buy a cool

new jacket, a jacket that I'll probably redesign Big Whiskey with since he does wear the clothes

I use on a daily basis (like how his iconic jacket is a jacket I actually own and use in real life)


But enough bullshit, you're not here to hear about me, you're here to hear about the art! Probably!


This piece is actually a tribute to Your Favorite Martian as a whole, and if you're a fan of YFM

like me and you have an attentive eye, you'll definitely get a reference or two in this, if not

all of them.


YFM is a thing I've been listening through a good part of my life ever since it initially came out

pretty much, and the musics, even though they're silly and cheesy, and some of them questionable

actually inspired me a lot, and stuck with me even up to nowadays, I remember just being really

excited for new clips and seeing how many references I could get in a video of theirs

I had most of the YFM songs saved on my PS3, and I'd listen to it while playing LBP2 and 3 pretty

much at all times, even my friends and I were bopping to Tig Ol' Bitties when we were screwing around

in the LBP moon, and I even got my dad into YFM, we'd sing along to the songs and it was incredibly fun

Ironically, Ray William Johnson was responsible for some of my happiest memories in my life

That's either the funniest or the saddest statement of the fucking decade.


When I heard the project was being cancelled, I actually got really sad over it

I remember watching Boom Headshot back in the day, and it definitely had a "last hurrah" feel to it

with it just being a remix of all of their previous songs, with the clip being mostly

all of the characters getting killed in a DooM-esque imaginary game, and it definitely hit me hard

when I first heard it back then, and even though they were supposed to release another album, they

never did, they were gone, and so was a whole era of online content

either you like it or not, YFM was incredibly important to the internet, somehow


But now they're back, and I couldn't be happier about it.


Even though I'm still pretty mixed over the new designs, I'm really excited for YFM's return

and I really want to see it succeeding, I hope they keep the same style of music they had back in

the day, the kinda nerdy, cheesy, yet charming music with stupid lyrics that somehow end up making

a catchy sound that sticks in your head for years, and I hope they bring the fun videoclips to go

along with it, even if they're cheap, a lot of the fun in YFM was seeing the characters animating the

story they were telling through the music, and clips like Robot Bar Fight were a really fun watch

so I legitimately hope it goes well, and since they're making their official return in June 1

I made this tribute piece, with all of the Humberts/Puff Puffs celebrating their new start

it might not be perfect but it was made with love and care

so I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I enjoyed making it.


But anyways, that's about it, I'm going back to listening to Stalkin' Your Mom.


I hope you all are getting your moms done

I'll see you around suckers, it's been real.
