Comic - Apartment 308 Ep. 2

And here is the next comic in which my second Apartment 308 short was based on.

As you can see I used to have a Tick character. I felt this was too much like Aqua Teen Hunger Force since I was having the Tick kind of act like a Meatwad character, Fly was mean like Master Shake, and Ant was the Frylock of the group. So I scrapped him in the cartoon version and added Worm in his place. Worm is much more pathetic and also won't play as big of a role. I kept Ant in there for now, but he is gonna be fazed out and replaced by Roach... Who is just as bad as Fly.

Comic - Apartment 308 Ep. 1

Here it is as promised! This comic was the inspiration for the first Apartment 308 short.

I remember after I first drew it out something happened (most likely spilled soda on it) to where it was almost destroyed. I scanned it in, cleaned it up, and replaced the dialog with a computer font. This inspired me to do the same with the other comic...which you'll see next week!

...Unless of course you dig through my archives..in which it is hidden! Muahahah!

Sorry...

No Retro Thursday movie today :(
Been very busy this week but I'll make it up tomorrow for sure!

Comic - Blue Marker Syndrome!

I love these random comics I did.. Notice the Canadian guy? Yup same one from the first Apartment 308 cartoon!
Also there's a quick tribute to Homestarrunner right at the end :P

Retro Thursdays! - Gay Purr-ee

This week we have the 1962 UPA movie Gay Purr-ee. I wanted to feature a Chuck Jones film and it was a toss between this and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. I ultimately went with Gay Purr-ee even though it wasn't officially produced by Chuck Jones merely writter by him, however his influence is more than evident.
Gay Purr-ee is a Parisian story about cats (yes more cats!) and before anybody starts drawing comparisons with Aristocats remember that this movie predates it by almost ten years! Although the character designs are typical Jone's savior-faire, and I say that in a good way, the background designs are very stylistic and almost painterly.

As always and again, here is your Wikipedia Synopsis. Please click on the image below to begin the playlist.
Note that this time the film is hosted on a Romanian site so dont be alarmed!

And you can always find this movie and more on Amazon.com!

New Layout!

Ah yes.. Another month, another layout design.

I've finally got around to implementing the new layout I had made a while back. I was having trouble getting blogger to conform to my new columns and after some searching around the webz I more or less found the answers. I have a couple more additions to put in but those are minor. Also there's still a few quirks to fiddle around with, one namely being the magical disappearing footer whenever I try to add the Theyfollow.me widget, but more or less everything is on its way to being perfect...for now!

So if you happen to stop by in the near future let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions as to why that particular twitter widget just won't cooperate, I will be much appreciative!

:]

Comic - Ferris Wheel Frenzy!

This has nothing to do with ferris wheels and everything to do with working at the office.

This is one of my favorite old-timey's. I love the chemistry i created between these two.

Spoiler Alert* They will be making an appearance in Apt. 308! Although they won't be stick figures.
