Scary Times (There is animation content, BTW)

I've been hesitant to taint the cartoon conviviality of RAW with political stuff, but I am becoming mighty concerned about how things may be going here in the US come November. My politics are liberal, read no further if this presents a problem for you.

McCain and Palin scare the Bejeezus out of me! And considering how good the GOP is at getting elected (governing is another matter) I wonder what can I do to keep us from going further down the bad road we've traveled this pas… Continue

Battling evil with the delicate heart of an artist

Joanna Davidovich's little run-in with Viacom has got me thinking about the big guys and the little guys. The Big guys, and Viacom is about as big as they come have voracious appetites. Appetites for content, appetites for talent, but above all and precluding all, appetites for profit and market share, hence Viacom's lawsuit against youtube, and their wanting to know every youtube video you've ever watched. (they were granted this access in the lawsuit) These big guys and their lust for control… Continue

There were puppets even traditional cel animation was used, The ID Monster from Forbidden Planet, for example, animated by Josh Meador. But the monsters that captivated so many… Continue

At 2:58pm on July 9, 2008, Dan Wilson said…: And thank you as well! This is quite literally my first attempt at animation. We've been doing these audio improv podcasts for two years now, and have been wanting to do cartoon versions for about the last year. This current storyline becomes quite epic, and it seemed like a good story to translate into images, as it will get too confusing as audio-only. I've set myself up for a lot of work, but I'm already learning a lot.
