Pimp- As a verb, it means to enhance or improve an ordinarily mundane object. Particularly with more color (like purple) and more texture or pattern (fluffy zebra print)
As a noun, a pimp is a manager of a series of women who sell themselves for cash. The cash is handed to the pimp in order to protect the hoes. Other exchanges would be sexual favors and drugs.
Hack- A word with several meanings, generally only with negative connotation. Whether professionally you are a hack, being a fake phony, washed up, useless, should retire. Or in a computer sense where frameworks are tampered with. There is generally a victim to hacking. However at times it can be used in an admirable way, like this video http://www.chooseurfun.com/beer-pouring-robot . This is quite a hack.
Mod - As far is improvements go it's a trendy way to say 'modification'. Like a hack; but different where instead of a victim there are only beneficiaries. It's a modification in that, it does not begin on original terms, but it positively alters or changes something already in existence. Like where Half Life was the original platform. They Hunger was a modification for that game. It adds new dimensions and new life to old things.

My Cartoon with essay
Better late than never as my ol' grampy used to say. Depending on my time management skills I might re-post these looking a bit nicer.
Creating an original character, with its own personality, who is distinguishable, is the first major obstacle in cartoon drawing. There are many worm characters, so to fix this I used an 'unusual' pattern on his chest to show he was not generic, but rather an individual. As far as personality goes, I feel he reflects his creator more than being his own entity. From 'Jahova' as a curse word, to drinking black coffee and reading on a summer morning. Not to mention my fear of the Witnesses.
From panel to panel there is a certain passage of time. The first panel being picturesque, comforting and nice. Between these is an assumed accident. Chaos begins to ensue. Rage turns to fear by the third panel, where an unexpected surprise shows up. The overall feeling is changed as each box rolls by. Where happy but relatively boring turns to misfortune and cursing, the interest level rises. The climax is hit, the plot thickens. The surprise ending then hits *kapow*
The creepy, overly friendly men of the cloth interject. The mood swings and a more lighthearted tone is met. The mess becomes more or less irrelevant. Although many of actions take place in between, you freeze those that move the story along. Your imagination fills in the gaps that appear blank before panels. The invisible space is not so invisible, as it is colored with your mind.
The constancy of character varies, as i have only drawn him a few times. Lines were sloppy, as it was all done in a single draft. I used only a dark graphite where marker would appear better. Perspective and third dimensions lack any logical physical boundaries, and those damned curtains move in the invisible breeze as the window breathes in and out. It's consistent enough, but sloppy. Even if I were to rescan the photo's the drawings would not improve.
An assignment long long ago in a semester far away.
Heres the scan i was supposed to do like 2 months ago.
I drew it whilst bored in class
