One more treat from the Chao Tales Halloween Special: please enjoy my favorite still from the storyboards that made it perfectly into the final animation.

It's time for thrills and chills in the Chao Tales Halloween Special! The inscrutable Chaclon has appeared and the only thing they'll budge for is a race. Hungry for glory, Sonic Chao and Shadow Chao are eager to compete.

Hi guys! After what happened, it's evident that my mom's surgery can't wait, so I'm asking for donations to help to gather the money for it

She almost lost consciousness last night and the insurance keeps refusing to help us

Every help counts 🙏💕

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
