I've been meaning to ask if you're still associated with "Neopets". Are you??
Hehehe. Sorry about the slow reply, been working on the next project. Yeah, I couldn't resist throwing in a mention of the poor Lolrus' plight. It only required a bit of an extension of the monologue I had already written for that scene; as a mention I knew it would be caught by Cheezheads, and shrugged off by others who don't get it (or maybe they'll chuckle, even if they don't know the ref.) It would have been too incongruous to actually depict, though. And yeah, I'm still hooked up with Paypal. Never had a problem with them yet, for what I use it.
Caught your latest character/storyline. Life is rough for a porky counselor!! A little free publicity for Lols? (deh bukkit) Are you still hhoked up with Paypal?
A safe and Happy New Year to you and yours, Rhokit! http://mine.icanhascheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=2998837

Yes, but they created something that's still awesom 50 years or more on. Checked out Artvoice; I'll drop 'em a line later on.
f--d up where? The Jack warner story is delicious...the mice will play when the cat's as dense as Jack. Ok, I won't ask to purchase. And yes, I do get your point about the little kids. We do have a local weekly tabloid, Artvoice, in Buffalo that might be interested in giving you space. It's our lefty publication and takes on all sorts of un-and-semi-popular causes. You can Google it if the spirit moves you. Thanks for taking the time to explain to me!!
Crud. I really f-ed up there.
e Jack Warner knew nothing at all about cartoons. He didn't give a rat's ass what the cartoon short division was doing, as long as it made him money. At one point, he thought he owned Mickey Mouse, and had to be corrected. The animators and Mel Blanc got together about the voice of Sylvester the Cat. It's a direct imitation of Jack Warner's actual voice. He was TOLD that it was in imitation of him, and he replied (sounding exactly like Sylvester the Cat), "I don't pshound like ptthat!" Anyway, the point is, the animation team was free to do whatever the hell it wanted to. They wrote and animated their stuff without ANY audience, child or otherwise, in mind. They did what they found amusing. They'd throw ideas around, and if they thought it was funny, that's what they did. I've been doing basically the same thing; its' only recently (since I came here, really!) that it's getting any public feedback. I wasn't at all discouraged when I got rejected by every mewspaper syndicat
Thanks. Glad you understand. I wasn't brushing off your idea or anything, but things just have to fit. And I STRONGLY dislike the idea of adding youngsters of any type, because, to many minds, it would associate it with a "kid-friendly" thing, which it is most definitely not intended to be. Iv'e had a problem with that as it is; I had what you see on the website in newspaper format bound into 100 booklets at a vanity publisher (NO. I only have a handful of copies left, and I need to keep those as backup, so they're not for sale any longer) and sold them at the farmer's market (I gave away more than I sold, probably.) As it was close to Christmas, people would say they wanted to buy it for such and such a kid relative, and I would have to warn them that the average kid probably would neither like nor understand it. You've seen Bugs Bunny and all those old Warner Bros cartoon shorts, right? Think they're funny? Do you know why? Because Jack Warner knew nothing at all about ca

Thanks for explaining all--I had thought about introducing a little girl/boy human close enough to the wild to intuit some of the animals' problems, but I get your point. I love the concept and the critters!!
Oh, on second thought, I remember I restructured the site. I'll see if I can dig up the e-mail you sent before, and attach it for you - it's a Sunday-format strip.
do throw away.) See "Tobit's Amulet" which explains where he got the stupid thing and why he wears it. Keep in mind each character is also an archetype, and sometimes two rolled into one because of the real people I based them on (the fox is the best example). Except for the wolves, which represent my own yin and yang.
:) Thank you .. and no throwing up. Prob is, the "world" the characters live in has certain rules. 1. No hoomins. (Can't draw 'em without making them look like monkeys in jeans and t-shirts.) They may be implied, or speak off-camera, but never appear. Think Charles Schultz with grown-ups. 2. While the animals can read and understand spoken English (as through radio and TV) the understanding is only one-way. The concept is that of an emergent culture, starting from nothing, but surrounded by an alien culture which may intrude from time to time, and which is NOT understood properly (and sometimes grossly misinterpreted) and considered to be "of the devil" (Tobit's POV). I make make fast and loose references to things that they really shouldn't know about, but those tend to be restricted to Lepton the fox. Things are pretty flexible (except for no hoomins rule) .. any human artifact they get may be assumed to be scavenged from garbage bins (you'd be surprised what people really
ok--non-lolspeak. Scene: Alberta; Personae: bureaucrats, big-bucks hunter, dipshit grad student, good folks, wolves &Co. Scenario: essentialyy what you have the wolves "confess"--except from a "human" point-of-view intercut with the animals poiint-of view with the "humans" of course losing out to a gradually-enlightened populace. (feel free to frow up!!)

Holy kittehs!! I went to the Darwin webpage and watched the video--only once. My God, that's heavy-duty work--perhaps a little Walt Kelly-esque...not really. In any case IT DOESN'T SUCK!! I've got the site on Favorites. I'm truly impressed.
