Scribbly

Scribbly was a Dutch comic strip, created by Jan-Paul Arends. It ran daily in the Dutch edition of the Metro free newspaper from 1999 to 2010.[1] Seven albums have been published containing the daily strips. The comic is known for its weird cast, and its tendency for parodying well-known films, books and famous people.

Not to be confused with the Sheldon Mayer comic-book feature, Scribbly the Boy Cartoonist.

Cast
  • Scribbly is the eponymous protagonist. He is a schizophrenic and lives in an institute for people who are mentally disturbed.
  • Psychotron is Scribbly's super-hero alter ego, in a few strips where he deludedly wears a red cape, which allows him to think he can fly.
  • Frits is Scribbly's voice-inside-his-head.
  • Quibus is an animated sheet of paper who is usually Scribbly's friend.
  • Doctor Psilo leads the House for the Mentally Disturbed.
  • Zark is an extraterrestrial alien who looks like a giant pickle with an antenna. He can use the antenna for radio reception, remote control, as well as hearing Frits. He hails from planet Zortian II.
  • Kraz is Zark's brother. He lives on the same planet where Zark used to live.
  • Waverider is Zark's super-hero alter ego, who has no known powers.
  • Doe-ran is a haunting spirit, in the shape of a floating mask, that was initially summoned by Quibus to torment Scribbly. He is a powerful magician.
  • Draakje is a little dragon that doesn't talk and has a tendency of breathing fire at inconvenient moments. He barks just like a dog.
  • Olav is a huge man who is a porter at the House. He shouts a lot.

gollark: I suspect it's whatever you're doing to bptr after each broadcast. That looks dubious and the log says it's a "loadprohibited" error, which sounds like something memory.
gollark: I don't think this affects *me* very badly, since my configured disk encryption all runs in software without any weird TPM interaction, I don't use "secure" boot, and it seems like this would need physical access or unrealistically good timing, but it's still not very good.
gollark: I wonder if AMD's PSP has similar holes. In any case, they should really just not be sticking subprocessors with closed-source non-user-modifiable firmware and root access into every CPU.
gollark: I don't think there's a reason they couldn't other than bad performance. Which might require you to turn down quality, increase bitrate, decrease resolution/framerate or whatever else.
gollark: I think the LattePanda ones are just x86.
