Don’t forget old VHS copies of Rechov Susum/Shalom Sesame, the israeli version of Sesame Street that some Hebrew schools showed their classes. [Scary thought: Joyce’s mom probably never let her kids see Sesame Street.]
Yes but no. Yes in that there was overlap in the timelines they were aired, no in that the few years difference of it starting meant it was not significant to my childhood, which is of course the metric we all use.
The show was fine until whatever change occurred that made them switch to shitty Flash animation. It looked decent in the first season, not award-winning or anything, but passable. Then something snapped and the show turned into nothing but shrieking garbage. I used to look forward to watching it, right up until I noticed the newer episodes were designed to piss me off.
If you were given a big Hollywood budget to create a TV series, but the requirement was that it had to be specifically designed to piss one particular person off, who would you choose for that person?
I’d probably go for whichever dipshit clown was responsible for that hack-ass Velma show, because they fucked with Scooby-Doo! and I can’t imagine being so detached from humanity that you have to make something so mean-spirited out of a generally wholesome, inoffensive series. Call it boring or whatever, but I can’t stand it when somebody gets their hands on something that’s designed to be a little bit of lighthearted fun and their first instinct is to make it mean and hateful.
So yeah, fuck that project lead in particular. I wanna find out what they find charming and fun, and then completely fucking ruin it for them.
She’s just dealing with religious trauma.
Me, for example. I keep a list of pentecostal services videos, those that are people screaming, jumping, etc.
Was shopping this week and saw the toy aisle at the Asheville Marshalls, which has an abundance of action-figure scale police cruisers…and it prompted a rethink of the chase sequence on my Dumbing of Age Wishlist. (Fanworks are not obligations. To be continued…)
DRAMATIS PERSONAE (and vehicles, based on what I’ve done with diecast so far):
* Jennifer, driving Asher’s motorcycle, with a passenger behind her (who isn’t Asher!)
* Sal driving her own bike, also with a passenger (probably Joyce)
* Amazi-Girl in her Amazi-Kart, with two passengers hanging on the sides of the roll bar next to her (possibly Dina and Becky, but just as likely to be Marcie and Malaya)
* the vehicle they’re pursuing
* city cop cars
* bystander traffic
My modus operandi is a quasi-remake of some of my favorite anime chase sequences.

– I’m inviting my boyfriend over mom, we’re just gonna *wink* Netflix & chill!
– Not in my house you filthy perverted babylonian–
– Oh sorry i meant *wink* Hymmel & chill!
– oh, indeed, how fun, you have my entire blessing with regards to this most christian form of entertainment, do keep it down, will you?
– I’ll try mom *wink*
– aaaah to be young again *wistful smile*
Hymmel the Humming Hymnal is **not** a giant talking Bible. He’s a hymnal. Unlike Psalty the Singing Songbook, who is a psalter. So you can guess what this means for Brelvis the Burbling Breviary.
The name Brelvis is not exclusive to Magellan. I checked. It goes well with Breviary and has the added bonus that it combines the names of two great singers, one being Jacques Brel.
Lg as in Little Girl (term used for a certain area of kink)
SSC as in safe, sane & consensual (term used for standards for kink best practices overall)
But while consensual is extremely important, I kind of feel that safe and sane kind of defeats the purpose of kink, no matter how vanilla. All the best relationships, Amber and Walky, Ruth and Jennifer, Mike and your mom, are neither safe nor sane.
It’s probably better if your kink isn’t harming anybody? I think? Like, “safe” can be as simple as “I’m not carving your fucking organs out, I just want to draw Weegee on your back with an antique dagger”.
Serious answer, it could be a safe way for her to revisit it and feel comfortable enough to dissect it and sort through her emotions about her past/upbringing with Joe by her side. When she last saw it she felt the need to defend it because she still believed herself a good Christian girl.
Oh you mean when, inevitably, Lucy and Walky come up with a yet more more unhinged, more unnecessary and more ridiculously contrived fake-dating plot to convince his parents to give Lucy a chance
Once again mystified by the religious bits of the strip, I went a-Googling this “Psalty the Singing whatever” thing, and found the most obscure and accidental coincidence.
The opening track of the last album Debbie Kerner & Ernie Rettino recorded before they got married is titled All Day Song (Love Him in the Morning). The albums title? Joy In The Morning.
You know, since this is (somewhat of) an autobiographical study of Willis’ life, I wonder what the real Hymmal the Humming Hymnal videos are and if they still exist and have been digitized for the modern little cultists?
From the comments above I got an impression that some abomination under a title “Psalty the singing songbook” exist on actual real life and Hymnal is based on that. I personally didn’t see it but there you go.
Joe being a pervert, I wonder if he might be the perfect one to point out that the things she’s been doing with Dorothy, as well as the way she talks about her smell, are both… for lack of a better word… interesting.
Man, I know it directly related to the creation of Faz, but that one picture of the Fazoli Kid is immediately where my brain went when viewing panel five.
Not going to lie, everytime I see “HtHH” I think the bike ride coming up in Wichita Falls TX called the Hotter than Hell Hundred, a hundred mile bike ride in TX’s most miserable season in the most miserable place to have it. nobody has died recently because there are safety marshals on patrol EVERYWHERE on the course looking for people in trouble and medical people stationed around the course with chilled IV fluids ready to stab into a vein to perform emergency hydration. I never needed the IV fluids, but I did need a couple of quarts of Pickle Juice™ about mile 80 once. Seriously Pickle Juice™ was the sports drink sponsor the year I had to sag out from the heat.
I’ve known about that ride for quite some time myself, going back to the late 1980s, but since it’s literally an entire country away from me (I live in Wisconsin), I never got down there to ride it.
Optimus Prime broke down and cried on the set of "Transformers" (2007) due to the extensive use of green screen filming. He reportedly said, "This is not why I became an actor."
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno

“We’re just skipping this specific one with Walk—I MEAN NOBODY IN IT”
will they then do a date night reading the Torah, or
Nah, Joe’s weird formative religious memories probably involve Debbie Friedman songs and Birthright travelogues on Israel.
Don’t forget old VHS copies of Rechov Susum/Shalom Sesame, the israeli version of Sesame Street that some Hebrew schools showed their classes. [Scary thought: Joyce’s mom probably never let her kids see Sesame Street.]
My childhood is in these comments and I don’t like it.
Let’s add in the Veggie Tales Purim!
See, now this is the ecumenical approach that Joe-yce dreams of.
As a Reform convert and former temple admin… this both seems accurate and hurts my soul. Can we just have Debbie without the Birthright please?
I hear there’s some spicy bits
The indents are confusing. Spicy bits in the Torah or the Debbie Friedman songs?
Yes, songs of Solomon, and Debbie Friedman songs.
…Joyce, you’re an Atheist now, you’re allowed to watch good television.
Please start watching good television.
Is Dexter and Monkey Master supposed to be a good show? Like where is it on a scale from like Spongebob to Johnny Test.
…Where is Spongebob on that scale?
It’s in the upper range, Spongebob’s a decent kid’s cartoon, at least in my memory.
Gotcha, your ordering had me about to break out the Anchor Arms.
I don’t know what Johnny Test is…
It’s a cheap and mostly bad kid’s cartoon that seemed like an appropriate reference point for what I had assumed about Dexter and Monkey Master.
Do you mean Johnny Quest? (that’s an oldoldold cartoon)
(quick search later)
Oh. Oh… I *think* I’ve seen images of that kid and the dog, but never saw the show itself. Did this come out around the same time as Kim Possible?
Yes but no. Yes in that there was overlap in the timelines they were aired, no in that the few years difference of it starting meant it was not significant to my childhood, which is of course the metric we all use.
Ah yes, the standard Yumi.
I understand there’s a complex formula for converting to the less used traumas per child-year.
It’s very obviously named after Johnny Quest, so the confusion is understandable.
The show was fine until whatever change occurred that made them switch to shitty Flash animation. It looked decent in the first season, not award-winning or anything, but passable. Then something snapped and the show turned into nothing but shrieking garbage. I used to look forward to watching it, right up until I noticed the newer episodes were designed to piss me off.

So yeah, fuck that project lead in particular. I wanna find out what they find charming and fun, and then completely fucking ruin it for them.
Here’s everything you need to know.
I was certain of what that would be before i clicked it, and i was not disappointed in my clairvoyance.
I’d always assumed it had like an Invader Zim vibe to it
My headcanon voice for Head Alien has always been Richard Horvitz.
Head Alien and Alpha 5 don’t look that much different after all…
I think Twitcher was referencing Zim’s voice :p
And yeah according to the Dexter bonus comic that came out around 2020, yeah very much Zim vibes
🛸🥰
Except of course, that Zim was cartoon brilliance, and Test was very much not.
You’re also allowed to watch bad religion television ironically.
By Bad Religion television do you mean the video for “21st Century Digital Boy”?
I hope so.
Is there any other classification for religious TV besides “bad”?
Very bad, horrendously bad, and quick Mabel, nuke the television.
yeah, the same way that Becky ironically listens to “Go, And Sin No More”
She’s just dealing with religious trauma.
Me, for example. I keep a list of pentecostal services videos, those that are people screaming, jumping, etc.
Aw, come on. Everyone’s allowed to have fond, nostalgic memories of horrible shows they watched as children. Even atheists.
Isn’t that the show that gets her weirdly horny?
Maybe that’s just walky’s fault.
No wait, that’s a parallel universe!
Well it should be !
Something something Hymmel and chill
Absolutely. Let us make it so. The Humming part is easy enough.
Has Joe gazed upon the horror yet?

If Joe’s allowed to make fun of it, he might get something out of it. He isn’t opposed to dunking on fundie christians, as we’ve seen.
Still, this would be a hell of an unusual “first kiss as a couple” story.
I mean hey, we don’t choose what makes us horny.
I mean, Chastity Churchmouse can get it.
Haha, yeah… he is gonna laugh so hard when he sees that huge padlock on her costume
I mean, Becky’s Pavlovian horniness comes from a song she played to stop the horniness at first.
Maybe Joyce has a similar history with HtHH. Horny bad, watch wholesome show to purify mind; oopsie now mind think horny = HtHH
HtHH = Hymmel the Horny Hymnal.
Ah yeah, Hymmel and Chill.
– I’m inviting my boyfriend over mom, we’re just gonna *wink* Netflix & chill!
– Not in my house you filthy perverted babylonian–
– Oh sorry i meant *wink* Hymmel & chill!
– oh, indeed, how fun, you have my entire blessing with regards to this most christian form of entertainment, do keep it down, will you?
– I’ll try mom *wink*
– aaaah to be young again *wistful smile*
What if instead of being a Transformers nerd in this fandom, Joe becomes a HtHH nerd
“Joe, come to bed!”
“I can’t! I have to update the Hymmel the Humming Hymnal wiki!”
This girl needs to improve her media intake. Someone should show her Kuuga or something.
Well, Ethan showed her Transformers and Dexter and Monkey Master.
pretty sure walky showed her dexter and monkey master
Joyce was ready to watch it with Ethan, and then Walky sprung up with his obsessive roadmap. So she would have watched it without Walky.
I wonder if they’ll bang with a giant talking bible show playing in the background? Hymmel is watching you, Joyce.
A hymenal hymnal!
That’s hot
Would that be better or worse than Aaron and Kendra over at “Nineteen Ninety Something” banging to The Simpsons?
Yes.
Hymmel the Humming Hymnal is **not** a giant talking Bible. He’s a hymnal. Unlike Psalty the Singing Songbook, who is a psalter. So you can guess what this means for Brelvis the Burbling Breviary.
Brelvis is a character in another comic http://magellanverse.com/ that doesn’t tag characters since the website was hacked…
The name Brelvis is not exclusive to Magellan. I checked. It goes well with Breviary and has the added bonus that it combines the names of two great singers, one being Jacques Brel.
“My Mommy/Lg kink with Dorothy is totally SSC”
SSC? Lg? ???
Lg as in Little Girl (term used for a certain area of kink)
SSC as in safe, sane & consensual (term used for standards for kink best practices overall)
Got it. Thanks!
Thx yumi =)
@Laura sorry yeah the jargon was the joke ^^
And a very fine joke it was, too!
Not disagreeing.
But while consensual is extremely important, I kind of feel that safe and sane kind of defeats the purpose of kink, no matter how vanilla. All the best relationships, Amber and Walky, Ruth and Jennifer, Mike and your mom, are neither safe nor sane.
It’s probably better if your kink isn’t harming anybody? I think? Like, “safe” can be as simple as “I’m not carving your fucking organs out, I just want to draw Weegee on your back with an antique dagger”.
Safe is when boundaries are respected and safer sex practices are used as appropriate.
Sane is when everyone knows it’s just a game
Ah. Physically safe and not emotionally safe.
I don’t understand why she wants to watch that
Serious answer, it could be a safe way for her to revisit it and feel comfortable enough to dissect it and sort through her emotions about her past/upbringing with Joe by her side. When she last saw it she felt the need to defend it because she still believed herself a good Christian girl.
Whoever came up with the name Hymmel the Humming Hymal might have some issues… Beyond fundamentalism that is.
…you mean Willis?
Is it a better or worse name than “Psalty the Singing Songbook,” the actual real-life thing that Hymmel is based on?
Yeah that person has issues…
I mean, Willis does have issues, but a decent number were caused by whoever came up with Psalty.
I thought that Hymmel… was the euphemism for Psalty…
Well Joyce if you’re a running back unfortunately you’ll be a free agent for some time.
The eyes are all over the place tonight. I like it. They make the rather static figures fun.
Joyce will not rest until everybody knows about that time Walky was a mouse.
It’s still hilarious to me that okay sure Hymmel is a parody version but bloody Psalty isn’t, and is actually real.
I mean honestly. Psalty. PSALTY. Psalty should be the SNL parody who shows up drunk on set and abuses the crew.
“Let me be your psalty dog or I won’t be your man at all. Baby won’t you let me be your psalty dog?”
A classic!
…and live from New York, it’s Psaturday Night!
GREAT faces today.
But COULD it be a euphemism?
Let’s see… you wanna… hum my hymmal?
Yeah.
“We’ll start you off humming something nice and Adagio, and slowly make our way up to humming the Allegro”
Watching it? A euphemism!
Watching it ironically? I think that makes the euphemism redundant in this case
I do wonder what Joe’s religious upbringing would say about Hymmel’s propaganda show
Willis provided a Bonus Strip that showed its content and, well, it was DISTURBING.
He’s also commented on Tumblr that, like Psalty, one of the villains is a VERY antisemitic caricature.
What little we saw in the main comic is already pretty bad.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahaahhaaaa
Oh boy. Good luck, Joe!
I can’t wait till Walky hooks up with Asher.
Oh you mean when, inevitably, Lucy and Walky come up with a yet more more unhinged, more unnecessary and more ridiculously contrived fake-dating plot to convince his parents to give Lucy a chance
And it too works.
You’re joking but I’d ship that. They were quite cute being broclones.
Yeah, I bet Joe would love to hum her Hymmel…
Once again mystified by the religious bits of the strip, I went a-Googling this “Psalty the Singing whatever” thing, and found the most obscure and accidental coincidence.
The opening track of the last album Debbie Kerner & Ernie Rettino recorded before they got married is titled All Day Song (Love Him in the Morning). The albums title? Joy In The Morning.
*looks at Joyce* *looks at Joe*
Willis, you are a gosh-danged GENIUS.
Poor Joe is so confused. lol
Etch-a-sketch dance is can’t not be done.
This is the “Netflix and Chill” of the young nowadays, right?
In this case, “Netflix and Hold Hands”
You know, since this is (somewhat of) an autobiographical study of Willis’ life, I wonder what the real Hymmal the Humming Hymnal videos are and if they still exist and have been digitized for the modern little cultists?
should we tell ’em
Yes.
https://archive.org/search?query=+Psalty+the+Singing+Songbook
At least a few have been digitized iirc
Well, huh. God uses kids…
Hah! I’m sitting here listening to those, while on this page a video is showing the Vampire tour video of the Smashing Pumpkins… fitting.
From the comments above I got an impression that some abomination under a title “Psalty the singing songbook” exist on actual real life and Hymnal is based on that. I personally didn’t see it but there you go.
And while that knowledge is cursed in and of itself, you remain better off for not having seen it.
There are things one cannot unsee once seen.
Free agent? More like it’s the all-star break.
The pendulum of post-religion is swinging wild today
It’s well known that the mouse boys are the best part.
Joyce is about to turn into the Cinema Sins of the religious media she grew up with
Joe being a pervert, I wonder if he might be the perfect one to point out that the things she’s been doing with Dorothy, as well as the way she talks about her smell, are both… for lack of a better word… interesting.
Panel 7:
Joe: When do we get to the euphemisms?
Man, I know it directly related to the creation of Faz, but that one picture of the Fazoli Kid is immediately where my brain went when viewing panel five.
That facial expression in panel 4!
I rather like her “wicked idea” expression in panel 5.
Do Joyce lets Dorothy “bossing” her? What?
Not going to lie, everytime I see “HtHH” I think the bike ride coming up in Wichita Falls TX called the Hotter than Hell Hundred, a hundred mile bike ride in TX’s most miserable season in the most miserable place to have it. nobody has died recently because there are safety marshals on patrol EVERYWHERE on the course looking for people in trouble and medical people stationed around the course with chilled IV fluids ready to stab into a vein to perform emergency hydration.

joyce: wanna watch hymms and chill?
joe: and by chill you mean….
joyce: turn on the air conditioner, because summer is too warm.
If “watching Hymmel the Humming Hymnal” isn’t/wasn’t an euphemism for getting it on in Joyce’s family, it certainly should have been!
