The results are in, and it looks like “Sub” by Jesse Schmal is December’s winner. Check it out on Channel Frederator Episode 62. Quite a trip.

So Jesse, how did you come up with the idea behind “Sub”?

“The idea was made from lifting several characters and props from the sketchbooks I made during a year in Rome for school.

This is a picture of the 1951 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Edwin M. McMillan. If here were alive today, I’m sure he’d tell you what a thrill it was to win all that dynamite money.

Nearly as thrilled, I’m sure, will be the winner of this March’s Channel Frederator Cartoon of the Month - the very first one. The way it stands now, it’s a good bet it’ll be the folks at Blur with their uber-popular short, “Rockfish”. Of course, all could change. Either way, we’d love for you stop by the site and vote away after you see each week’s episode. Do it for ol’ Ed.
