Talk to the Snail

Go read Martin “Dr. Toon” Goodman’s excellent interview with Hornswiggle’s Jerry Beck over on AWN.

Holy Smokes, was the Random! Cartoons crew ever up to its ears last week. Alan and Manny and Lincoln were in from the east coast to record their tracks for Bronk and Bongo and Super John Doe, Jr. We also had the pleasure of seeing final storyboard pitches for Summerteeth, Sparkles & Gloom, Samsquatch, Victor, and Treasure Quest. Teapot and Tiffany are busy in post-production with editing, sound effects, and scoring. We saw some pencil tests from Two Witch Sisters. The boys from Bradwurst moved over the Renegade to start their Flash animating, and Mike has made his casting choices for Flavio. All fun stuff.

Meet Doktor Victor Von Kreep, founder of Kreepsville Industries. In addition to having a ton of stuff happening on the Internet, Kreepsville Industries publishes the magazine “The Phantom Monster Show”, produces a radio show, and conducts diabolical experiments on their hapless victims.

When not plugging our Six Monsters project on his blog (thanks!, Dok), the good doktor with his crew is developing his very own kreepy kartoon, Kreepsville, U.S.A., which looks horrifically cool. Do yourself a ghoulish favor — drag your rotting corpse over to Kreepsville and see all the frigthening fun. Just do it by midnight tonight.

Okay, you Random! Cartoons fans. Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 20. We know you’re heading to Comic-Con in San Diego that week, and that Thursday afternoon we and Nick will be holding the very first Random! creator panel. We’ll announce soon the participants in the session, but expect the premiere of a short or two as well as a whole bunch of clips from a good many Random! cartoons. Keep checking back here for more information.
