Squid Dragon Legend

“It’s devouring the planet, even as we speak!” The New York Television Festival has some featured animation pilots on the web, including Squid Dragon Legend. It’s a decent sendup of anime, featuring the same sorts of thoughts you probably had the first time you saw it. It’s at its weakest when it strays from that into conventional jokes.

At first I thought he was talking about us. :) Get Fuzzy’s Bucky Katt comes up with a better name for mockingbirds, at least the one that lives near us.

Martini lunches in Apartment 3-G

“Hello! I’m Eric Mills.

And yet I get more action than Don Juan and Casanova put together. I bet you’re wondering how I do it! … Let’s say you’re at a party.
