Back to the Factory 2

Posted on September 6, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

The first week went o.k., but it’s obvious the only thing I’m going to be able to do during a work day is work, drive, eat and sleep. The weekend is barely going to be enough to recover, do my college classes, and get ready for the next work week. The job itself is pretty easy though. Nicest factory I’ve worked in, easiest factory job I’ve done. The company expands and expands, so job security and opportunities to move up are there, as long as I don’t screw it up. However, if it snows as much this winter as it did last winter, the odds of failure are high. I need a backup plan. I wish it were the comic. It was showing a lot of promise in June and July –

July had 13,028 unique views. A comic may need 100 times that number to support the creator, I don’t know; but – it’s like, 13,028 people can’t be wrong. If I’m entertaining 13,028 people a month, there should be 130,000 I can entertain. If July’s traffic is roughly ten times bigger than April’s, then 130,000 seems reachable. If the numbers had continued to climb, I might have been there by November. Would that be enough to support a creator? At those numbers, an average of 3 cents per month of support from each reader would replace my current job.

Wouldn’t it make everyone happier if I could just do the damn comic?

I don’t want to complain about my current employer, whose only fault is being as far away as I could possibly go (and it would be stupid of me to try to do this, if there were other options) – but current employer was the least-est of possible good timelines I could have went down this summer. I’m not going to put them in the “bad timeline” category, they have a lot to offer – but bad weather could be all it takes to make that go away. And wouldn’t we all rather have new comic pages? Why couldn’t the universe have done that one? It looked like it was going to.

Slop-A-Tronics 9000

Posted on August 30, 2026 by Jeremy Ray

Not to be confused with SLOP-MINUS 3000, it’s a pure slop album for dumping the best of unrefined Way of the Waifu slop. Here you will find developmental tracks that aren’t even worth being called “Spiritual Beings.” Only the most minimal attempt will be made to refine or improve them. Slop lyrics won’t be changed, slop names might be changed, but usually not. All the same, some of these are “nice paths not taken,” and are neither less creative nor less entertaining than most radio songs. But they aren’t high fidelity, and only have lyrical value by accident. If at all.

Here is track one, “Rumble in Mock Tongue,” which only needs the lyrics changed to be a decent shoegaze, crunky guitar driven song, garage band demo track quality song (o.k., it needs a lot) –

Here is track two, the most skippable of this lot, “Sass in my Pocket.” Keep in mind, these are random A.I. names, I didn’t write them and they’re not good. These next three are Jpop/Kpop tracks, or, that’s what they sound like to me. This one sounds like it could be a Yaoi Hokkaido track, but I’m not touching it again –

Track three is one I’m trying to use to seed a regular album track. No luck so far. Udio could have done. There are some comments on the Treblo Discord that say Treblo can do it. Hasn’t worked for me yet. So, for now, this bass monster is only “Gobbledygook Queen.”

Similarly, this phat synth monster is only “Boom Boom Out the Speaker.” It might be a future seed for a regular track.
