Hey Everyone! Melissa Wolfe here, reporting for Doug TenNapel. Doug is indisposed at the moment…no Doug! I can’t play one more round of Tetris with you. I’m trying to blog.

This morning Doug TenNapel directed his voice record for his second short, “Squirly Town”, featuring the voice talents of Bobcat Goldthwait and Stephen Root. I came in right as they were about to begin their “Amigo Tu Amigo” song, and it was VERY fun to watch. Squirly Town is centered on two squirrels who are unlikely friends. When straight laced Lance (Root) discovers that his pal Zoopie (Goldthwait) has put a pet tarantula in the accorn butter sold to a customer, he gets a bit stressed. To help him decompress, Zoopie leads him on an adventure to cure him of his anxiety. A full body cast for Lance soon follows.

I was admittedly a bit star struck at the record, because I remember Bobcat from one of my favortie tapes of all time, KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas Tape (I think it was 1994). He did a sketch called Christmas Stories With Uncle Bobcat where he would tell sick and twisted stories to little kids and make them cry. My sister and I played that one over and over. Stephen Root, I discovered also does the voice of a great character named Chode on a show called “Tripping the Rift”. Lovin’ it!
