Retro Thursdays! - Fantastic Planet

This week's retro movie is from 1973. An international film Fantastic Planet or La Planete Sauvage was a production by both France and Czechoslovakia.
This is a very surreal story that takes place on the planet Ygam in which humans are taken and basically treated as animals. It's a little slow to start but if you can wrap your head around it then it is definitely worth the watch!

Comic - Doug's Imaginary Friend


Here's one that was slightly inspired by Drop Dead Fred! If you've never seen that movie then go rent it now! Definitely one of my favorite childhood movies..

Google Search Story - Apt. 308 Style



So Youtube has this thing going on where you can create your own Search Story. I tried it out and it's pretty fun for a laugh. I made an Apartment 308 one but found it lacked a little commentary. So I downloaded the file, and spiced it up a bit!

In the mean time production is coming along much slower than anticipated. The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy for me. Going up and down, up and down and now car troubles. Not to say that it's at a halt but things are begining to get on track once again.

Retro Thursdays! - The Plague Dogs

This week we have a good one from 1982! Based off the book of the same nameThe Plague Dogs is a very gripping tale of two dogs that have escaped an animal testing lab after being put through brutal tests. You really get a feel for what they are going through and all the trouble they must endure just to be free.

I really enjoy the animation in this movie. It's far from the typical Disney-esque animals in which they seem more human than otherwise. The animals in this film actually have all the little quirks and tendencies of the real thing and the only humanity you experience is when they speak. Definitely a must see!

Comic - The First Apartment 308!

Hmm... Let's try and spice up these Mondays with more comics!
This is a special one because it was the first time I ever had the idea for Apartment 308. You can see that there was another character which was supposed to be a Tick. I eventually scratched him out of the whole thing and replaced him with Worm.

Later on I'll post up the other two Apartment 308 comics that I based my cartoons on!
