The Valentine Chronicles
• Cartoons, Dammit! is pleased to welcome The Valentine Chronicles and
its crew to the line-up! In keeping with our shared vision of bringing
you quality writing and art, we know you'll thoroughly enjoy following
the plight Tatiana and Katrina Valentine through a series of stories
and illustrations!
Log onto uStream on Wednesday, August 27th at 9:30AM to watch and discuss a series of marathon comic inking with the creator of Fantasia Arks: The Phasmatis Crisis as he recreates the first two chapters of the story tirelessly!
To paraphrase Dave Reynolds, artist of ShadowGirls on the amount of work being done: "I do about 110 full color pages a year, but doing 200 black and white, graytoned in a matter of months...is just borderline "You've looked at Cthulhu."
The Fantasia Arks Drawing Board on uStream!

Dairy Queen; Annies
Tues., Nov. 14, 2000 19:02:21
Gookie
The Queen and the Joker
If there are Dairy Queen restaurants
where you live, be sure to pick up one of their free coupons for $2 off either the video
or DVD release of "Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker". It's a manufacturer's
coupon also sponsored by Coca-Cola and doesn't expire until 1.31.01.
The coupon mentions a "Trip or Treat Scratch & Win Game... a chance to win the
ultimate trip for four to Warner Bros. Studios and other cool prizes when you purchase a
Coca-Cola product". Unfortunately, the Dairy Queen I got my coupon from had no
details on this contest.
Announcing Annie
Warner Bros Animation did not win in any of the categories it was nominated for in the ASIFA-Hollywood 28th Annual Annie Awards. It was
Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story 2" that largely carried away the accolades.
"Batman Beyond" was slighted in the "Daytime Animated Television
Program", losing to Disney's "Mickey's Mouseworks". And "Animaniacs:
Wakko's Wish" lost out to Disney's "An Extremely Goofy Movie" in the
"Animated Home Video Production" category and again to "Toy Story 2"
in the "Music in an Animated Feature Production" category. (Though I won't
attempt to argue that the music for A! could compare to the quality of TS2. It was good,
but it wasn't *that* good.)
However, some Cartoon Network-related programming did receive a few awards:
Outstanding Achievement in An Animated Special Project
"The Scooby Doo Project" Cartoon Network
Outstanding Individual Achievement for Production
Design In an Animated Television Production
- John R. Dilworth - Courage The Cowardly Dog - "A Night at the Katz Motel"
Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting By
a Female Performer in an Animated Television Production
- Christine Cavanaugh As the voice of Dexter - Dexter's Laboratory "Ego Trip"
And receiving the "Windsor McCay Award":
"Norman McCabe: With a career spanning more than sixty-five years, Norm McCabe has
worked for many animation studios, including Hanna-Barbera, Filmation, DePatie-Freleng,
Marvel and Warner Bros. Television Animation, but he is perhaps best known for his tenure
as animator and director at the Leon Schlesinger Looney Tunes Studio in the 1930's and
40's."
