as good as it gets
I feel very weird right now. kinda transcendent? or maybe translucent? Like Kitty Pride. or.. Bosco when he was relieved to find Betty Boop was the leader of that cult..
I just watched a nearly completed version of Adventure Time. and for the first time since I started working here it really hit me how ridiculously amazing being here is.
The cartoon is awesome if I may say so. and I think I may.. because it’s not really my cartoon anymore. It’s everyone’s who worked on it. JM Media did a ridiculously fantastic job with the animation and the color. It’s .. stupid.. how incredible their work is.
stupid stupid stupid awesome. Which means a lot.. it’s always the biggest compliment to be insulted by someone extremely impressed and jealous of your abilities.. at least that’s a compliment to me in America. I hope I’m not insulting JM Media in Korea to some high unpardonable offense. because I’m not. I am overwhelmed with respect for them.
I didn’t mean for this BLOG to sound like an acceptance speech. but really I felt like I started a little ball of snow down a hill and now the ball is crushing cities katamari style.. well maybe not cities. it might be crushing .. a little farm in Texas. but crushing a farm is a big accomplishment for a cartoon ladies and gentleman.
a big accomplishment.
SO! I’d like to thank my mom! and god! for this prestigious award. (that’s a joke, I hate my mom and god.) (THAT’S ANOTHER JOKE!) (ONE THAT MY MOM WON’T THINK IS FUNNY IF SHE READS THIS BLOG!)
and I wish I had better words to describe everything besides “ridiculous” “awesome” “fantastic” “amazing” and “stupid amazing” but that’s as good as it gets people.
Seriously, thank you to everyone who worked on the cartoon,
-pen

Pen, you rock. Rock on with your ukulele. Hey, maybe you better start learning the ukulele, since you’re a big Janet fan and all. Did you know she’s singing on our new cd? Well now, you know. I’ll give you a copy when we get it back from the printers. That should be next week or so. Hey, how did this comment get so off-topic?

Thanks Jun. You totally rock. I’d like to learn the uke. I’m learning guitar.. and i’ve got a drum if you want to start a Random Cartoons band.

I can’t wait to see ADVENTURE TIME. If cartoons were ice cream, yours would be a delicious new flavor - a strange flavor, but very satisfying. I hope that wasn’t too strange a metaphor…

I think I’ve screened A.T. for at least 5 people today (all who worked on it & all loved it)…it wasn’t until the 4th viewing that I caught the tighty whities…I forgot all about those! I love animated “Pen” and those stolen diamonds!! It’s TRIANGULARIOUS!

Pen, im watching tv, more specifically “My Gym Partners A Monkey” and you know that animation you have with the little guy holds his breathe, then has boobs then has a big butt and does that butt dance? THEY TOOK HAVE IT IN THE CARTOON IM WATCHING!!! :O. The monkey and the boy are selling candy, he holds his breathe, his butt then gets bigger and then his butt moves the exact same way as your guy in the butt dance animation and then the person buys the candy. :O Are you aware of this?? -Steve
