I wrote and animated a mashup of 70s film, Greek & Roman mythology and 60s TV hillbillies. It's not for everybody. It could use some more work.
It succeeds at what I was trying to do.

FYI, with a BritBox subscription you can watch original Play for Today episodes. The ones I've watched are pretty downbeat except for Nuts in May.

Do any of y'all know a Twin Cities artist – or are you a Twin Cities artist – that sells cool greeting card/notecard type things (aside from RLM, of course, I know about his wonderful ones)? Trying to pull together some options.

I rarely do births for #OnThisDay, but this one is special:
Nov 13, 1833: "Father of Minneapolis Parks" Charles M. Loring is born. In the 1880s he begins acquiring the city's lakes and shorelines, and along with Horace Cleveland creates the finest public urban park system in the United States.

Back in 1793, a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. These days, many sit in drawers or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected as lucky keepsakes.

Glad I thought phonics was fun.
As a writer, choosing words for their sounds and rhythm as well as meaning, . . . I just can't . . . I just can't.
(I understand this could be helpful for dyslexic readers. We have to figure out a better way to help all students.)

I think we all do need Rowan Atkinson and a baby for the holidays.
After working on this for the past year, it's finally coming to Netflix next month. Great work all round by every department at Framestore.

There's an old story about a silent movie serial. Its most recent episode left the main character down a well. The studio searched for a writer who could figure out how to write the next episode.
The one who ultimately did it, wrote for the first title card: "Once out of the well..."

Watched 5 minutes of that Ryan Murphy lawyer show. Imagined it being written by a 9-year-old.
The first minutes were Irishman-ified so everyone looked fake and weird.
