Wow… it looks like Marvel is now publishing the Spider-Man (that’s how they spell it anyway) Saturday morning cartoons in their video section. Man, I rushed home to watch these when I was in grammar school. They were cheesy, yet great. And really, compared to a lot of the junk that is churned out nowadays, the animation isn’t bad for a morning cartoon. Looks like this first one has Doc Octopus in it. You have to long that song, too!
I just had to post this after I saw it (hat tip to Steve Ogden). Check out this beautifully done animated video by Yannic Puig for the song “Tales and Dreams” by Kwoon. Never heard of the band or the artist, but wow this is an awesome piece. The music has this wonderful haunting, yet lovely feel while the story unfolds in the video. The story is full of interesting characters, fantastic backgrounds and strange actions. A feast for the senses! This is the kind of stuff that inspires me to create. Enjoy!
A few finds and notes from the wonderful world of webcomics. First, check out One Swoop Fell by illustrator Mike Dutton.
Mike has a beautiful style, he’s another one of those guys that makes me want to break all my pencils. He seems to have a good story running as well too. I’ve not read the whole archive yet, but I’m working on it and the characters seem really fun.
Second we have Wonderland by Leisl Adams.
.
According to the artist, the story is an Alice in Wonderland story in reverse: Alice, now grown up and working as a police officer is called to investigate some suspicious deaths and along with her partner Jim, ends up traveling back to the human world. I’ve also only barely delved into this but I’m really liking the art and story on this one as well.
My good buddy Steve Ogden (who tipped me off on Wonderland) has also returned to updating Croaker’s Gorge. It’s good to have those characters back in action. He’s considering doing a Copper-like format for Croaker’s next year, which I think would be really cool. Incidentally, Copper has began updating again as well.

Steve is also hard at work on his animated series Moon Town, which we are all anxious to see. It’s got great characters, great design and great writing. You can learn all about it here.
I’m excited to hear that after not hearing from the guys at Aardman for awhile, we’re now going to get another Wallace and Gromit film! The new project humorously titled A Matter of Loaf and Death. The folks at Aardman are fantastic writers and I’ve really enjoyed all the W&G stuff.
This film has Wallace & Gromit starting a new bread baking business, ‘Top Bun.’ Although business is booming, Gromit is concerned by the news that a dozen local bakers have ‘disappeared’ this year – but Wallace isn’t worried. He’s too distracted and ‘dough-eyed’ in love with former beauty and bread enthusiast, Piella Bakewell.
You just know the story and animation are going to be hilarious. Unfortunately it looks like for now it is first appearing on BBC 1 this Christmas. I would imagine though a DVD or some kind of other accessible release will follow. Check out their site below for more info!
