Cripes, It's Like We Have a Career Or Something...

I keep forgetting to post the fact that we finished up the revised series bible for Tyrone's Inferno last week. 

Excuse me? What is Tyrone's Inferno? Well, folks, I don't blame you for forgetting, it's been a while. Hell, sometimes we forget. I bet the Cartoon Network has forgotten. I don't blame them, either.

Tyrone's Inferno is our Adult Swim pilot project, which is taking longer to get going than Richard WIlliams' The Thief and the Cobbler (that's an obscure animation reference meant to fool you into thinking I know my cartoon stuff). The delay is entirely my own fault, we needed to overhaul the bible to steer clear of other cartoon properties we were unaware of (see, I don't know my cartoon stuff, really), and I took an unfortunate left turn at the junction of Flopsweat Avenue and Stymied Road for a while. Fortunately, we've cleared this particular hurdle, (unless the Cartoon Network folks hate the bible and all it stands for. Which isn't much, really), and we hope to have some good news on the project soon. As always with these things, we expect nothing, promise nothing, and hope for something. 

By the by, this is Tyrone:




He's our little dead thing and we love him.

In other cartoon-related news: Sarah and I have begun "punch-up" work on a new batch of episodes for the Shin-Chan anime from Funimation. It seems the test run on the Adult Swim went over well, I am assuming the goal is to get more episodes on the air, but we haven't heard anything official, so, you haven't either. Whatever the case, we're going to work on these until they tell us to stop. If we get anything more concrete than that, and it's okay to talk about it, we'll let you know.

The Bart Simpson comic script I'm working on is now a 15-pager instead of a 12-pager. Thanks, Bongo, you folks are awesome. Honest.

The Punk Rock Holocaust DVD cover/poster illo is just about finished. Lots of characters and severed heads meant a lot of coloring headaches for Sarah. She is awesome, too. Honest.

I owe three people a total of four pages of comics and a cover. They know who they are and they will get them asap. The dust has cleared, literally, around here, and things are starting to get up to speed again. Thanks for your continued patience, if you are still being patient.

We sent the Surf Mummy to Florida for the Uberbot charity e-bay auction -- which, FYI, has been pushed back a day to Sunday, the 17th. 

Finally, we're supposed to be getting a set of prototypes for the Milk and Cheese vinyl figure set to mull over sometime tomorrow.

More things to type about  are in the pipeline. Dunno what we'll talk about until then, perhaps I'll post some drawings or dig something out of the files. I think my little scanner is still working, I haven't checked it since the ceiling fell. Maybe I'll ramble about some comics I've read recently (Moomin, Dick Tracy, that Pantheon Acme Novelty short strip collection, Dennis the Menace, Jack Staff, most of the Popeye book...).

Then again, maybe not. My head still hurts from reading the "Essential" Defenders book a couple of months ago. Right after I attempted to read the "Essential" Werewolf By Night, which I eventually dropped like a box of hot cancer before finishing it. No wonder I'm so fucked up, Essential Brain Damage, that's what that stuff is.



I'm hungry.
