An innovative new triangular sales structure



Perhaps the devil imp was trained by Mr. Gillespie!



John K -- creator of Ren and Stimpy, among other things -- has a relatively new blog that is definitely worth checking out! Whenever John a) draws something, or b) discusses the animation industry, it is almost always worth checking out.



Not that I love every one of his cartoons or agree with every one of his opinions, mind you. But when the man is on, he is on. And at the very least, both his art and his yapping are almost always interesting. I wish more "big name" comic and animation artists had blogs updated as frequently and substantially as John's.

It was only a few weeks ago, but if you either missed Mr. Blank's first Vignette or simply forgot about it already, you can read it right here.



I've decided to try and do something about my ridiculous backlog of non-urgent emails. I'm utilizing a radical new idea called "replying to them." My goal is to respond to an entire month's worth of neglected messages every day or two. It sounds vaguely admirable until you find out the month I just completed is August of 2005. Those emails are 8 months old! Isn't that sad? When I write my responses, it feels as though I am travelling back in time.

I'll be the first to cast stones, I don't let sleeping dogs lie



For some reason, Fuzzy's dialogue in panel two really reminds me of Ryan Estrada's comics. I'm not really sure why, but hey... at least it gives me an excuse to plug Ryan's work. (Ryan is awesome.)



I kind of think it would be fun to have a t-shirt that said "When will society stop oppressing me with its unattainable standards?!?", but I'm not sure that I'm the man to make it. What kind of graphic would you pair with that phrase? Whenever I try to think about it, all I can see is tractors. And I'm pretty sure that doesn't make any sense.



It calms my nerves to see that most of you have been digging this Noosehead-related material. It's always a little scary, unleashing something new and unusual on your established audience, but I try my best not to let that fear ever inhibit me from drawing what my brain tells me I should draw. Anyhow, things are about to get even weirder next week, so be sure to tune in on Monday. Until then, have a lovely weekend!
