Animation Magazine, February 2010, illustrated by Phil Rynda, Tom Herpich, Ghostshrimp, Nick Jennings, Dan ThompsonAnimation Magazine editor Ramin Zahed has kindly given AT its first (yes, first!) cover story, dated February 2010, months before our premiere. He interviewed creator Pendleton Ward and me a few weeks ago and provided non-blog readers with a first view of the updated series production design.The magazine does a web holdback on paper articles, so I’ll link it as soon as it’s posted at their website (please buy it at the newsstand) but here’s a great quote from Pen in the meantime:”I like to doodle these characters and kind of figure out what their story is. In fact, I try to make everything stupider and simpler. Finn and Jake are two buddies who shoot the breeze about whatever nonsense is going on around them — just like anyone sitting on a porch might do.”There you have it.–Fred …:::Update: Ramin tells me the story should be online by the end of January.:::…A Post-it® self portrait doodle (with Fred Seibert) during the interview,by Pendleton Ward.
