Bear with me

 Alright, please don’t laugh. I hated the final result too, and believe me, I had over a week to put this mess together. Sure, the random draw of scene elements didn’t help, but the deadline was looming, and I had to turn in something. Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo are part of that group of cartoons I absolutely despised as a kid. They’re right up there with Top Cat, Jabberjaw, and Captain Caveman. Top Cat was way too slick for my taste, Jabberjaw’s laugh and goofy voice drove me nuts, and Captain Caveman felt completely out of place in his own show. That furry ball of chaos made zero sense to me. This piece.. I swear I’ll revisit and redo someday... I want to crank up the distortion, make the background scream Plaza Murillo vibes, and actually finish those darn bears. On the bright side, I’m kinda stoked that their visual identity is so strong you can still tell who they are, even in this half-baked state...

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Hey, folks! Welcome to my goofy little corner of the internet, The Neon Gnocchi Times, where wonky illustrations rule. I’m Joseph, and I’m keeping it super simple about privacy. This page spills the beans on what happens with your data when you chill here. Spoiler: I don’t collect much myself, but I use Adsterra to toss some ads on the site (gotta fund my crayons somehow). Here’s the lowdown:

What’s Collected?

Me? I’m not snagging your name, address, or secret diary entries. But since I teamed up with Adsterra to show ads, they use cookies and other techy tricks. They track stuff like:

  • Which pages you check out on my blog.
  • What device you’re rocking (phone, laptop, high-tech toaster?).
  • Your rough location (via IP address).

It’s all to serve you ads that vibe with your interests, like cat meme ads instead of random car parts.

Cookies? Yum!

Yup, cookies! Adsterra and their partners use cookies to remember your visits here or across the web. That’s how they guess if you’re into quirky illustrations or shiny gadgets. These cookies make ads smarter and the site smoother.

Who’s in on This?

Just me, the doodle guy, and Adsterra, the ad wizards. No sketchy third parties lurking around. Adsterra works with trusted partners to serve ads, and it’s all laid out below.

Your Choices

Not into personalized ads? No worries! You can tweak your settings or block cookies in your browser. You can also hop over to www.aboutads.info to opt out of targeted ads. Heads-up: blocking cookies might make the site act a bit funky.

Why All This?

Adsterra uses this data to make ads work and toss me a few cents when you see or click them. That’s the deal—no world domination plans here!
