Cat and Fish Returns

For all you Cat and Fish fans, you’ll be happy to hear that the series has been picked up for 2 – 3 more episodes this year by the private website ESLReadingsmart.com. The site is a Web-based educational program that is used in schools across the country and already hosts several of the older Cat and Fish episodes.

All new episodes will also be featured on Ebolaworld!

Ask Taco-Man: Tips for a Flash Artist

Watch It!

The long awaited new episode of Ask Taco-Man is here with tips for a flash artist. If you still want to become a flash artist after watching this episode, then you should probably watch it again.

As the new episode points out, you’re obviously wondering “When is the next cartoon coming out?” The answer is: in two weeks… or more. I’m currently working on episode one of a brand new series. I won’t say what it is just yet, but it will be very religious! I’ve said too much. I’m also working on revamping the entire website and brand new DVDs!

Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) doesn’t even understand what the internet is. He explained that it is a set of tubes and believes it took 5 days for him to receive an email “Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially."

Be afraid, very afraid.

After the new Ask Taco-Man episode, I was thinking about what to make next. My plans so far are to kick off a new series (not saying what yet), restart the George Bush Show (with new title and characters) and The Good Life (Bunny Bunny’s old series), and lastly make new episodes for all the other series (even Cat and Fish… gasp!).

What would you guys like to see for the second half of 2006??
