The moral of today's comic is: when you are trekking through a swamp, never forget your dot repellant.
Oh! I have exciting news! Over the last few
weeks I've been working with the extremely talented Will from
Calico Monkey
to make an animation based on characters from the comic! Ok, admittedly
when I say 'I've been working with', I mean that Will did all the hard
work, and I just occasionally said things like 'make emotibot grin
more' and helpful stuff like that. But I think that's probably the most
important role. I am a MANAGER.
Will was great to work with
and it's really been a lot of fun seeing this project grow up from
storyboards to a finished piece, so I hope you folks will enjoy it to.
Anyway, the animation is called '
Emotibot and the Butterfly' and you can view it by clicking on
this bit of text here.
Will is going to be submitting it to a couple of competitions including
the Nickelodeon Animation Festival, so maybe it will even get on TV.
WHO KNOWS?
I've been trying to put a bit more effort into the backgrounds lately - hopefully the days of Beaver and Steve floating in a mysterious blue void are over. Is it an improvement? And I might put more tenuous metaphors in in future too. I quite like them.
Oh, and because of the site redesign on the
main page this comic is 50 pixels wider than usual. That's right: there are going to be 50 pixels more FUN every monday and froday from now on! Woo!
