Cartoon Brew: Leading the Animation Conversation – Part 3

If animation executives thought out loud, this is what they’d sound like. Keep a barf bag handy.

From Zekey Spacey Lizard:

A bitter, cursed comedian waits under cover of darkness in a rowboat on the water beneath a roadside inn. He’s paid the innkeeper to murder the comedian’s employer, a privileged womanizer whose wandering eye noticed the comedian’s daughter.

Finally, without a word, a sack drops through the floor and into the boat. Before dumping the the cadaver of his despised lord in the river, the allows himself one last look at the face of the man. There, he discovers not the face of the man, but of his own daughter. Now finally does the comedian understand the nature of his curse.

That’s the end of Rigoletto. It never fails to make my skin crawl.

N-Joy in Vreden was a most n-joyable evening. Midway through the first set, I interrupted “Johnny” to say I wanted to dedicate the next song, Five Feet High and Rising, to my Mom, Dad and everyone else in Nashville. That got some applause. Unfortunately, not too many folks here seem to have heard about the flood in Nashville (actually it was a girl off the coast of Africa who told me about it). This is understandable though; the oilslick’s devastating impact has eclipsed Nashville’s woes in world news, even though Nashville’s flood is probably no less extreme as our own 100-year flood back in 2002.

I like this illustration though:

And what’s more, it’s a goode cause.
