Capturing The Chaos Of Family Life In My Latest Cat Comics (20 New Pics)

Despite the fact that it has been successful for the past six years, that system can be very annoying. There are a lot of concepts that I have that aren't even remotely possible for a comic book. If I were to do them, it would take me an eternity, and then fewer people would read them. I mean, I could do them. When it comes to comics, less is more! When compared to a single three-page comic, three more snappy single-page comics will always perform better. Because of this, I couldn't believe my good fortune when Ross from Pencilmation sent me an email asking whether I had ever considered developing a program.

It took us a considerable amount of time to write a script, during which we packed it with humor and made it as good as it could possibly be. However, it wasn't until the script was finished that things started to become more serious. My characters needed to be adapted into animated form, and I was looking for an experienced director who could do so while maintaining consistent with the comic. I was convinced that we had discovered our man when I saw the tryout sketches that Brien Hart had created. Wow, that's a lot! It was a perfect shot!

After putting together the core crew, we needed to determine whether or not we were capable of really making animated Litterbox work. In order to do this, Brien created storyboards based on the script for a little piece of test animation. Marty Daniels was then tasked with animating the storyboards, and oh my goodness, he did an incredible job! I am at a loss for words to adequately convey the sensation of witnessing Fran move for the very first time! Following that, Anna Navarro was responsible for cleaning up the animation, and Shofi Akifah Rochima Putri was in charge of coloring it.

We were unable to proceed any farther without a significant amount of money because hand-drawn animation is each and every bit as stunning as it is expensive. I had never participated in a Kickstarter before, but I've had a lot of fun seeing my friends participate in them, and I thought the whole thing was a lot of fun. To put it another way, we didn't simply want to provide financial support for the performance; we wanted to make it an event! As a result, we got to work preparing some truly incredible incentives! Certainly, the Designer Toy is the most insane of them all! It is not uncommon for a designer toy to be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign; but, we have decided to go ahead and make it an exclusive gift for those who contributed to the pilot.

After several months of preparation, the day of the Kickstarter launch was drawing near. If I'm being completely honest, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the sensation of anticipation is being nine months pregnant. Although you are on the verge of experiencing something that would completely transform your life, you are unable to shake the nagging anxiety that something might go wrong! It was supposed to be that they would click the launch button after dropping the children off at school, but however, they had other plans! My youngest child was suffering from a fever that morning, and my oldest child was in excruciating pain due to an ear infection! The situation is not ideal, but the show must go on!

Even though the day was filled with a frenzy of posts, messages, and appointments with the doctor, we were able to reach our target of $60,000 eight hours later! Truly astounding in every way! In all honesty, I didn't really realize what was going on because everything happened so quickly. We are in fact carrying it out! Animated episodes of Litterbox are likely to be produced in the near future! Even as I type this, I still don't believe that it has really taken my breath away!

What should we do now? The Kickstarter campaign is still active as of the time of this writing! A bigger budget will directly translate into better quality animation, therefore we are going to be doing everything we can to increase that amount over the next month! Our initial target was the very minimum that we felt we could do the show for, but we decided that a higher budget would be preferable.

As a matter of fact! Let's have some more comics, shall we?
