One of the great things about this season’s development is opening up the field much wider in New York, where I’m currently based.

For instance, Robert Teer & Damiam DeMartino are a team who come out of playwriting, graphic design, and comics. Today they came in to pitch their cartoon Gloom & Dread.

Thanks to Robert & Damian for kind permission to post one of their pitch drawings.

No one has a greater interest in a new name for Oh Yeah! Cartoons than our indefatigable creator crew. So, they keep coming up with more and more. (Or do they just want the prize money?)

Thank you Kyle Carrozza.

Larry Huber has been a great partner on the 99 shorts we’ve made over the last 12 years for lots of reasons. His latest suggestions for Oh Yeah! Cartoons are only two. Many of you know that Korea is a major source of the great animation we often get for our TV series. Well with all the fabulous animators there, none has ever even pitched us a cartoon, and very few have pitched anywhere else. Larry is partnering with some of this great talent to bring us some cool, funny shorts.

Han Ung Lee and Larry co-created Shaking.

And Bit Boy is a flash cartoon he co-created with Jun Kyo Seo & Kong Yo Kang.

If these work, Larry has once again created innovation in the US cartoon biz.

Thanks to the gang for their kind permissions to post some of their sharp artwork.

I’m not exactly sure, but I think our naming suggestions are up way over a hundred. And there’s three weeks left!

Thank you Melissa Wolfe.

It’s always a great day at Frederator Studios when our great friend John Kricfalusi comes by with cartoon ideas like Wally.

Many of you have heard me talk about the importance of John to our approach to making cartoons. Though we were circling around the idea of classic style shorts like Looney Tunes, it wasn’t until we moved to Hollywood and met John that we understood how we would approach them. The value of artists as the prime movers, the make-each-drawing-funny neccessity, timing, acting… the list of influential items is enormous. Of course, it’s not that Mr. Kricfalusi invented this stuff, but, I think it’s fair to say, he was most definitely the most vocal person in reviving these notions as important in the new generation entering the business in the 90s.

For those of you who’ve never had the pleasure of watching a John K pitch, my really crappy cell phone camera caught this classic Spumco moment.

Thanks John, you’ve made a great difference to all of us.

Thanks to John Kricfalusi for his kind permission to post this drawing of Wally.

Just by my eyeball, it looks like most of you like names that include “cartoon(s)” or some variant.
