The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
I’m not exactly sure when cartoon compatriot Mark Heath moved his blog over to squarespace, but I just recently found it again and got caught up.
Recent Faves –

8:06 – First Commercial – It’s nice to see some of the pilot footage again, and it was nicely put together with recent footage. The little girl with Parkman and the others seems like an odd late addition to the season, I’m hoping she pays off. And, yeah, why didn’t what’s-his-name allow the bullet to phase?!
8:15 – Second Commercial – Will someone explode already?! And I was sure that Nathan in the parking garage with Sylar for a minute there. Also, I like the Peter character, but the actor is starting to get on my nerves. So earnest – all the freakin’ time! Maybe one of his powers should be to lighten up a little. And where’s all the cheerleader outfits?!
8:26 – Third Commercial – So the little girl sees “next season’s even worst villain” people? The old black guy is a nice look back, and I was all ready to dismiss the scene as convoluted back story until the “I know you’re there, Peter” thing. That was nice. Note to Peter – get a haircut or a scrunchy or something, but get those damn bangs outa your eyes! How you gonna save a world you can’t even see?! Yeesh!
8:37 – Fourth Commercial – “What would I want with your brain?!” Hee-hee-hee… Seriously, that was more funny than menacing. Also, enough “boogie man” verbage from the little girl, please! It just smacks of trying too hard. And Hayden, I love ya, but the dramatic monologues might not be your strong suit. But the jumping out the window bit? Very nice!
8:50 – Fifth Commercial – Nice cat-fight opening, but I’m sick to death of Micah and DL. The Hiro/Ando “you look bad ass” line was absolutely fantastic. Those two characters are the complete soul of the show as far as I’m concerned. Looks like the last 10 minutes are gonna be the showdown I’ve predicted/waited for for half of the season. Bring it on, Kring, and don’t disappoint me.
9:01 – Ending – NICE opening lines from both Sylar and Peter. The Hiro killing Sylar thing was kinda of weak; I mean, Sylar’s this badass and then he’s very slowly taken by surprise? But I’ll give them a pass. The Nathan flying off with Peter ending? So-so. And did he need Nathan for that? OK, so Sylar’s not dead I guess – ho-hum. I expected better. Liked the “end of volume one” thing, and the Hiro in the past looks fun. Will the second season be any good? We’ll see.

Since last week was mostly “how sick is Mark?” updates, and, let’s face it, my blogging hasn’t exactly been stellar lately, I thought I really owed everyone a good one this time around.
I’ve been considering doing a weekly podcast as of late, and I thought it would probably need some sort of opening sequence. Enjoy:
It’s rather heavily inspired by the old “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” opening.
The music is all original; well, as original as you can get via Garage Band. The rest was all done in iMovie.
Still no idea whether or not I’ll commit to the podcast, but it was fun to stretch some other creative muscles for a bit.

More interesting blogs next week.

The last two days I’ve run between a 102 and 103 degree fever. Needless to say it’s been fairly miserable, but I wanted to thank everyone who’s emailed me a get well, advice, or both.
And thanks for being patient while I freeze/boil on my couch for a little while longer…
