I'm Ready!

Since spending most of my hours on Cholaspace, I've been getting a lot of messages from my hinas all like, "H3Y P12ixGLiTOS 3ASSUp 3iT S3ASox T123S? MUchOs b3s0s!" Because these girls scare the crap outta me, I am finally going to start Season 3!

Today I will begin preproduction on the new season writing and boarding the 13 episodes I have slated. My producer (me) is giving me 6 months to animate this season, so expect to find the Prophet Buddies under your Christmas tree this year, if you are Jewish, I'm sorry but you will also have to get a tree.

I'm glad these cholas have pressured me into starting the next season because right now couldn't have been a better time. Currently I am getting money to do nothing, it's awesome! And I can understand why, afterall people have said that I'm the Mozart of Flash Animation (see above pic). Or maybe they just said I was a drunk like Mozart, I dunno I'll have to google it. So now I can fill my days working with the Buddies, and not go off to Paris sipping wine in some park like I was planning. I will still be sipping wine and wearing a beret at my desk though.

I'm very excited to be with my buddies again!

Icy the Future

Wow, February sure did fly by! I would like to thank Dumm Comics for having us all month. Here's the original drawing of my last strip for Dumm, which was actually the first one I made. I really wanted to draw a mammoth because I've never drawn one before. Boy, is that a horrible drawing, I'm awesome!

I spelled "Asteroid" wrong, thankfully the folks at Dumm aren't dumb and caught this mistake. Season 3 is in the works, at least in my head it is. As soon as work slows down, production on Season 3 will begin. Unfortunatley, Mouse doesn't see unemployment anywhere in my future.

Douche

This weekend's strip of Prophet Buddy over at Dumm Comics, is a follow up to last weekend's strip. There's one more strip to go for Prophet Buddy month over at Dumm. Here are the super roughs of the 8-ball strips I submitted to Dumm for their approval.

New Buddy!

Have you checked out Dumm Comics recently? Well, you should because another Prophet Buddy comic was posted today! And just for the fans on Valentine's day, here is my original drawing for it. If you're not a fan please don't look...

Since this Prophet Buddy month on Dumm Comics, the buddies and I became inspired to finally reunite and we got together at the wall and wrote an outline for season 3. So expect a Prophet Buddy season 3 in the next year or so. Cat, Mouse, and I are really swamped with other duties but will start "entertaining" again when we aren't so busy. Season 3 will be a bit different than the others. We're so excited!

We love you.

Prophet Buddy is sooooo Dumm!

Today is the start of Prophet Buddy month over at Dumm Comics. The wonderful Dumm folks invited the buddies over to be their weekend guests this month. This will be the buddies first series of animated-comics not animated.
Here is my original drawing of 'Les Propheties.' I removed a lot of the text because I don't like to read.

Prophet Buddy Wrap Party!

Last Saturday, Danner and Bauza threw a wild Prophet Buddy wrap party! Everyone who attended the party was required to get their picture taken with the buddies. Gourmet Corndogs and deep fried sweets were provided by master chef, Chris Staples, while Eric Bauza barbequed burgers and hotdogs. There were two projectors playing nonstop Prophet Buddy episodes and random obscure cartoons the entire night! The shindig started at 5pm and went into 4am. Afterwards a few of us went to the beach. Thanks everyone who came, and Danner and Bauza for throwing it, I love you guys!

034 The Greatest Idea!

So here we are, the end of the second season. In hindsight it seems like it just flew by, but while I was working on it I couldn't wait for this day. Now I can return to having a life away from a computer. I can re-establish a relationship with my girlfriend, video games, the sun, television, the gym, booze, you name it! The world is my oyster! I'm not sure when I'll begin Prophet Buddy season three, I'm pretty burnt out on writing and animating at the moment and need some time away. Once I regain the energy I'll jump right back on. In the meantime, check out all of the other comics and cartoons that are over in the links section of this blog. All of these links are way funnier than Prophet Buddy. Thanks everyone for watching!

This strip was written by my Dad, who likes cartoons more than I do! He wrote:

"Cat is sitting under a tree and gets the greatest idea. He runs to tell Mouse, before he can tell him, Mouse says 'No'. Just like work, just like life."

It wasn't long after he wrote it when I rewatched Real Genius, another one of my favorite movies, for a hundreth time. There is a sequence in the movie where Val Kilmer gets the greatest idea while sitting under a refrigerator. So I used/stole that sequence for this last strip of Prophet Buddy. In the storyboard, I matched pretty much every shot from that sequence and tinkered with the dialogue so it would work with Dad's idea. While recording the dialogue, Eric Bauza and I watched that sequence over and over getting the voices to match the movie exactly. Here is my rough cut of the strip so you can see what I'm talking about:

Coincedentally, it's my Dad's birthday tomorrow, Happy Birthday Dad!
