The fine folks over at Juxtapoz have a sneak peak of some upcoming Kooky Kollectables from Bob Boyle’s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! They’ll be available in August at all the usual places where you buy your vinyl stacking character figures.
Hey. How’d they get those pictures?

Random! - hey, Nick, when are you ever going to air them? - Cartoons alum Doug TenNapel is in the news again - in a good way. Turns out Paramount has bought the movie rights to Doug’s next graphic novel, Monster Zoo. With his Tommysaurus Rex and Creature Tech also headed for the big screen, it’ll only be a matter of time before Doug will be buying and selling all of us ten times over.

Okay, so Mitchell and Webb are sending up the world of the author/editor, but you can just as easily imagine them in most any artist/executive relationship. Or… don’t.

This Animation Magazine calendar I’ve got hanging on my wall says the Nickelodeon Animation Studio here in Burbank opened ten years ago today, March 4, 1998. I don’t know if that was the official opening or what, because folks were moving into the building weeks before that. In any event, Tracey, who not only runs the studio’s operations but is one of the very few folks who has been at NAS throughout the whole decade, was kind enough to lend me some pictures of the facility being built, incorporating an existing building, during the previous May. Here are a handful of 1997 shots, mixed in with a few taken just moments ago.
