Hi 4 years ago emailer! I bet your deviant art name and email name are totally different, and I have no context for you! How are you?

Nothing really. Just was reading Piranha Pancakes and I noticed that it was changed from the original title "Um I Think Your Piranha Are Broken and other stories" Why is that?

The original title was too many words, good titles are usually short and snappy! So I had a think, and that's what I came up with. Plus, I like having food in my title, food is funny.

Hi Morgan! My reply only took two years! Very glad you like my books, I've got even more out now! How's the quest to become an animator? Life is good! I had a baby about a month before you left this message, he's nearly two now!

Hey,thanks Ray, good to hear from you again. Good work on raising a family and advancing your career.

I never thought to ask you this but if you ever made a cartoon off of the Heroic-ish Pirates (from the Cupcakes of Doom canon), who would voice the main cast? Personally, I wanna see No-Eyes being played by Tom Wilson(Biff from Back to the Future) a lot like Banana from the Nick show Pig Goat Banana Cricket. I also wanna hear Jim Cummings and Charlie Adler(my two fav VAs) do additional/incidental voice work on the show. You like Jim and Charlie?

Haven't really given this much though, hmm! It would be great ago have Tom Wilson on the show, he's hilarious! Don't know if we'd want established voice actors, regular actors who don't often get animated, or some mix of the two! I really like Peter Serafinowicz, he would be good in there somewhere!

Just think: Biff Tannen as a whiny fat pirate man,haha. Maybe Clancy Brown would be good as the Captain, and Tom Kenny could work as the King, ala Ed Wynn. Grey Delisle and Richard Horvitz could work as the brother and sister duo. (Sorry for forgetting their names, haha. But how about Jim and Charlie? Any ideas for them?

Stuff making sense is the best! Welcome to the discworld club! Pirate penguin is only technically an ensign, he doesn't have his own boat, I deal with that in the next book! He commandeers a submarine, and does indeed get a promotion to captain!

Dude, congrats! I'm on Oahu as well! If you and the spouse are gonna be up on the North Shore this week, pop into Polynesian Treasures in Haleiwa Town, that's where I work! I'd love to say hi.

Top Shelf seems like a great company to work for. I only just sent in a submission, but I'm probably not their style. It is so awesome to see things going so hot for you, though!

We're gonna be wandering in that direction tomorrow, (Wednesday)to do some snorkeling, we'll try and stop by!

Yeah, top shelf and I are getting along very well, I think I sent my submission in at just the right time, a very talented friend of mine sent them some stuff shortly after me, and they said they had too many projects on their plate. I wish you luck with yours though! I have no idea what they're looking for t the moment, but I know uniqueness is always key.

Well if you're at all up on the North Shore, should be some good snorkeling by Shark's Cove (no sharks though) and definitely at least swing by the town because we are adorable and have great food. If I see you, that's awesome, but hey, if not, that's cool. Hope you'll have an amazing time on the trip!

Good seeing you today! The grass skirt grill was super delicious, didn't get a chance to try the malsadas though : ( thanks for the book! Read a bit on the bus, your early stuff is more polished than mine. Pm me your address and ill return the flavor. Ad in the bus on the way home was for the book and music festival in Honolulu a week or two from now. Might be worth checking out, I don't know.

Cheeeers!

Yo! Great seeing you too! No worries, you will find massive amounts of great malasadas on all the islands. My early stuff may be "polished" ish, but it hasn't improved too much over the years, not in comparison to other artists. I'll get there! But your comics are so fun and you have such an original, eye-candy style, so I'm really glad that you're getting so popular!

I feel like a turd, I realized only afterward that I just wrote your name in the book, not Michelle's, and I hope your lovely missus doesn't think I was slighting her. I was fighting a migraine and the major sleepies, so if I spelled our respective three-letter names correctly, I'll be surprised. In any case, it was great to see you both! Enjoy the rest of your trip! And thanks for the turtle, he's adorable.

I would love that! Thanks! Golly, I feel honored to be asked. What are my guidelines and deadlines and such?

Also, would you be at all interested in doing a black and white piece of guest art for my new Snap Crackle Pop book I'm putting together? I'd love to see what you'd come up with! No worries if you're busy, though, I know you have a ton of cool projects as it is!

raisegrate In reply to elephantblue [2013-06-10 00:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Guidelines are very simple, it just needs to be the princessiest princess you can think of, at any size that feels comfortable. This is for print, so hi rez.

I want to show off this book at a couple meetings at the San Diego Comic Con, and whiled you're contribution will be one part of one page, the more done the better. The week before SDCC, would be great, July 10th?

I'll happily do an art for your book, when is the deadline for your project/

I'll get right on it! Photoshop coloring okay, I presume?

As for my book, I'm hoping to get it all finished within the next month. It's a grayscale book, so sadly I can't do color as yet, but beyond that, go nuts!
