I produced and wrote a whole bunch of cartoons you grew up with. I'm still doing it, too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my wonderful friends here on BlueSky!

Happy Birthday today (December 13th) to my dear friend KATHY GARVER. You all remember Kathy as "Cissy" on the hit TV series "FAMILY AFFAIR," FIRESTAR in the early SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS cartoon series, and I also cast her as a guest villain in my later SPIDER-MAN animated series, too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY to one of my number-one Spider-Man Animated Series fans, MATT DUNFORD! This past summer, Matt gifted me with a custom made action figure of myself! How cool is that!? ❤️

Last night, I attended the opening night performance of THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MICHAEL K at The Wallis in Beverly Hills. With state-of-the-art puppetry by the visionaries behind "War Horse" and "Little Amal," LIFE & TIMES OF MICHAEL K was a mesmerizing theatrical experience.

Today, November 19th, marks the 30th ANNIVERSARY of the premiere of the FIRST episode of my SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, "Night of the Lizard." I'll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the series all year. Today, I just indulged in festive web-slinging high above NYC!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY today (November 18th) to MICKEY MOUSE! Mickey's first cartoon, "Steamboat Willie," debuted on Nov. 18, 1928. Here's an original drawing of Mickey done for me by the legendary WARD KIMBALL, one of Disney's main animators during the classic period. Kimball first came to Disney in 1934!

Here I am with actor Burke Swanson who does a wonderful job playing "George McFly", Marty's loser father, in BACK TO THE FUTURE: THE MUSICAL. Unfortunately, all the actors in this LA version are hobbled by the truly DREADFUL sound amplification mix at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood.
