Duhn Duhn DUht DUht DUh DAAA!
What’s up, explorers. Last month, Jake Parker‘s comic book Missile Mouse: the Star Crusher came out. I helped color it, along with Jake and my roommate Jason Caffoe. Above is some fanart I did for MM in the vein of the 90′s Saturday-morning cartoons I used to watch. Does anybody remember Fantastic Max? Or what about Potsworth and Co.? My very favorite show back in the day was Tailspin. I liked the idea of those animals having adventures in their tricked-out planes while going back home to a town that felt more real than the secret bases or mansions or whatever that other cartoon heroes lived in.
ANYWAYS. Missile Mouse! Here is a trailer that Darren Rawlings put together about the book:
Pretty fun, right!? Missile Mouse is this bull-headed military agent that breaks faces across the galaxy to keep the peace.
We’re working on the sequel right now. Stay Tooned.

Ah yes, the good ol days. It seems like people forget how much imagination does for young minds…oh yeah-
THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME TRAILER I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I had to watch it three times in a row.

Though I do think that kids have a lot of good shows today – Avatar/Airbender is rather choice!
