Some digital artists use Switch JoyCons for shortcuts in Clip Studio and other painting programs.
From the book of the same name, but unfortunately I couldn't find a copy on the Internet Archive.
From a series of Colossal Cards - trading cards that were bigger than normal, most of which featured fantasy art on them.

Found a partially-completed cat from two years ago. Finished it up over the weekend.
(leminal.space)
I started this some time in 2022. I did the head and part of the left arm, and then got distracted and left it in a box.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I found the box and decided I need to finish the cat!
Is there an echo in here?
According to my parents, it was I Got My Mind Set On You by George Harrison. I was a toddler and apparently loved that song.
But the first one I distinctly remember was the B-52's Love Shack.
One of the neighboring buildings had a gigantic iPhone ad. And of all the pictures they could have used to show off its camera they decided to go with... a gigantic baby on the verge of tears.
Hell yeah Giant Crying Baby Con 2024
Dick Van Dyke comes from an era where it would be real easy to do a lot of bad shit without anyone ever knowing, and I hope he never did.

My high school didn't have them, but the vocational school where I took extra classes did, as did our family's PC. I thought they were great. This was about 2001-2004ish, flash drives weren't a thing yet, and burning a CD to hold a single word doc or powerpoint or something like that seemed really wasteful.
Sometimes I would put a couple mp3s on a zip drive and bring them to school to listen to while I was working on a project.
Coolpunk forever.
I love the art. Just like you said, it really evokes amateur TTRPG cover art from around the same time.
I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last, but it just amazes me how the older generation went from "never post your name online, never upload a photo with your face on it, and always be skeptical of things you see on the internet" to "I have to give this sketchy website my credit card info because a guy on Facebook told me...." and then the most bonkers conspiracy theory you have ever heard.
I-beam
If you don't watch the video: it's footage of an I-beam being created at a factory. As an adult, this is not scary. As a young child, this is terrifying. There is no narration, none of your Sesame Street friends are here with you. This is a large glowing letter I that the camera never breaks away from. It's mashed and chunks appear to break off of it. The music is a ominous sounding piano with occasional trumpet bursts and anvil clanks. At the very end the camera freezes on the I-beam and we get two final crashing piano and anvil notes. The whole thing lasts less than a minute, and then we're on to the next segment. There's no context for what you just saw, no lead-in, and no one makes mention of it after.
It scared the hell out of me. If I saw this early in the morning, I'd be in an anxious state for the rest of the day.
