A while ago I was contacted by a company asking if I were interested in advertising on radio.
To be honest, I’m not sure it would work well, and it’s probably cost prohibitive, but the guy offered to send me over a spec spot to listen to:
LOL! Isn’t that goofy?!
Not the ad itself, that’s actually very well made, but it’s weird hearing an Andertoons commercial.
And, is it just me, or does the end part (“This is a good place for an Andertoon!”) sound like the guy is opening a refrigerator door?
Anyway, it’d be lousy of me to put this spec spot on my blog and not give a link to the folks who put it together for me.

I'm not sure what my reaction is to this. I loved the folksy harmonica music, and it was odd to hear something normally so anonymous trumpeted. But if you'd like to get more local work, I think a radio spot would be a great way to do it, not to mention ground-breaking.
The end sound effect does sound like a refrigerator being swung open. Were refrigerators mentioned in the opening monologue? Hearing the faint rattle of bottles and cans was almost a meta-commentary on the destination of single-panel cartoons.
I dunno… I'm not sure a radio spot would work for me. And I shuuder to imagine what costs might be.
Still, what a hoot, huh?!
