Lincoln Peirce, creator of the Random! Cartoon “Super John Doe, Jr”, has a brand new book out starring his comic strip character, Nate Wright, AKA Big Nate. I Smell a Pop Quiz! is available through Lulu.com. Please buy a copy to keep Lincoln distracted until “Super John Doe, Jr” airs on Nick and makes him super famous. The book is 128 pages, so maybe we’ll finally get to see Jenny come around.

Congratulations to Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! creator and executive producer Bob Boyle for winning his first Emmy in the category of Individual Achievement in Animation. Bob, pictured above with sk8rgurl Michelle Kwan, will be honored at the June 13th Emmy Awards ceremony. Congratulations, again, Bob. You deserve this one.
Congratulations to Nicole Mitchell. Her CalArts hand-drawn cartoon, “Zoologic”, is one of eight films nominated in the animation category in this year’s Student Academy Awards. Frederator knows the film real well; it won Grand Prize in the Nicktoons Network Animation Festival last year (that’s Nicole with NNAF host Hal Sparks above). Winners of the Student Academy Awards are announced at a ceremony in Beverly Hills on June 7. Nicole, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for you.
