Information AboutCase Yorke |
''Gluemeat'' is a are part of the ''Gluemeat Moving Pictures''' series ''No Time Like Scent''. Blue Guy and Orange Guy are locked in a sort of battle of wits (although it can be argued that the battle is decidedly one-sided). Blue is childlike, enthusiastic, and full of wonder; he is also stupid. Orange is smart and witty, but also cynical and bitter. The disparate personalities of these characters put them at eternal odds. A typical ''Gluemeat'' strip begins with Blue introducing a topic of conversation and Orange asserting his lack of interest. Blue then pursues the topic with his typical good-natured eccentricity, and, finally, Orange provides a withering punchline, often employing his catch-phrase "You are puerile." On April 13, 2005, ''Gluemeat'' celebrated its 500th strip with the much-hyped death of a recurring character. To many readers' dismay, the character in question was the popular Safetypin (see below). Case Yorke was embroiled in a fierce and escalating mock feud with BoxJam , creator of ''BoxJam's Doodle'' , although Mr. Yorke maintained the feud was legitimate: "Who ever said it was a "mock" feud? The guy's a jerk and I wish he had boils instead of eyes." Mock or not, it would be foolish to ignore the fact that this feud has (perhaps inadvertently) cross-promoted both strips in a highly successful manner. Yorke and BoxJam have since publicly made up. HISTORY OF BLUE GUY'S AND ORANGE GUY'S NAMES Blue Guy and Orange Guy aren't the main characters' real names. Case Yorke has names for these characters but has not shared them ever in the comic; therefore, on ''Gluemeat's'' original message board on Altbrand , fans began to call them "The Blue Guy" and "The Orange Guy" after their primary colorings.

AREN'T WE REAL Case Yorke was the author and creator of ''Aren't We Real'', an often offensive webcomic starring Petey and Horse (an anthropomorphic equine), and features what some consider to be the filthiest and funniest dialogue ever to grace the webcomic genre. The comic had a large undergound following, and was part of the webcomic networks Keenspace and later, Altbrand. Other recurring characters include the constantly stoned video store clerk and the maniacally grinning doctor, whose mission in life is to keep American semen out of the grips of the Arabs. ''Aren't We Real'' is no longer running, but Yorke has been re-issuing past editions of the classic series on the Gluemeat website.
