6 Monsters

To re-cap, Random!’s Six Monsters cartoon gives half a dozen different filmmaker a stab at giving their takes on the same characters.

One of the filmmakers working on the short is Don Dougherty. Don’s tackling the running gag part of Six Monsters: three thirty-second bits featuring Buck and Roy.

Don’s been around the animation block with gigs at Disney Feature Animation as well as their TV arm, Universal, and Hanna-Barbera. He’s also a cartoonist who’s work has appeared in dozens of magazines, ranging from Good Housekeeping to Saturday Evening Post. Finally, he’s even got several books out.

My favorite credit of Don’s? Tex Avery hired him as a gag man.

Welcome aboard, Don.

So with blogs being all the rage, we decided to start a studio blog of our own. You can read it here

For those that don’t know, Boglins were cool puppets that were around in the 80’s. They’re not quite a Gremlin, and note quite a Critter.

Here’s a panel from my Six Monsters storyboard. If you listen closely you can hear Roy singing an original song about sandwiches. Believe it or not, during a recent LA-NY conference call we debated what type of sandwhich is funnier: roast beef or pastrami. I love the cartoon business.
By the way, what kind of sandwhich do you think is the funniest?

Hey everyone, there’s a conference call today for “Six Monsters”. This image was drawn by J Chad Erekson. This is how we picture the other end of the phone during the call. Buck, Gailard, and the rest don’t usually say too much during the calls, but I’m sure they are paying attention!
