Hey party people, well the day has finally come! Toonocity’s newest cartoon star has arrived: CAPTAIN ROCKET! Captain Rocket is the adventures of Captain Rocket (of course). Together with his sidekick Blastoff, they protect the galaxy from all manor of evil. In their first adventure, they go up against the Green Thing, an evil space mutant out to conquer the galaxy!
I suppose the best way I can describe Captain Rocket is camp. Not quite as broad as Adam West’s Batman, but still it’s a fairly straight adventure story with an odd sense of humor to. The bottomline should be fun. Each episode is very short, as the format is like a daily newspaper strip- though this is animated and not daily! To repeat myself this is pretty much a one man production job with a day job. But as I mentioned in earlier posts, that’s why went with this format. As episodes can be produced in a timely matter by one person!
I want to give thanks to Aaron Ficchi for writing the music (see even with my mighty powers I still couldn’t do it all alone). Creating music is just not a skill I poses, my old college roommates can attest to. I used to torture them by messing around with an electric keyboard with auto-play features. But all good cartoon shows need good music, so I glad Aaron has put together some good stuff for me.
Along with the new Captain Rocket cartoons, Toonocity has finally opened up a store on Spreadshirt.com. You can find t-shirts of all my characters there:
Hey party people, well it's getting really close to relaunch time for Toonocity. Over a year ago I relaunched the site with Cindy Li and GoldStar and this time I'm relaunching with- well I can't tell ya yet! Since I never know for sure when I'm going to be done and posted, I don't really like talk...
Hey party people, just letting you know the 5th episode of Captain Rocket is up and it's loaded with graphic violence, so beware! Well not really, but you'll understand what I mean when you see it.

I also thought I'd take a moment and talk about some ...
Hey Party People,
With my new video I tackle a subject near and dear to us superhero fans: Under used characters! We all have fan characters, who are not included the main pantheon of a publisher's superheroes. So we lie and wait for the time when they decide to use them again- and...
Hey party people, welcome to my latest video! For this one I dive deep into Wonder Woman (stop it). As DC Comics has proven over the past 70 years that they have no idea what to do with her. I mean, when she came out, she was selling like three comics (Sensation,...
Hey animation fans, got a another Animator on Animation for ya. This time I talk about the one of the craziest shows Disney TV ever made: Gargoyles! Seriously, whoever thought Disney would ever make such a show! It's just so hardcore action- basically Disney's answer to Warner Bros. Batman: The Animated Series....
Hey party people, in a mad dash to get this video up before the Halloween. So I don't have too much to say about it other than, I love classic monster movies- ever since my youth of watching the Son of Svengoolie in Chicago. Funny to think that Chicago gave the USA, Oprah...
Hey party people, confession time, I'm more of a DC fan than a Marvel fan. So putting this list together was kinda tough. I hit up a lot of Marvel fans for notes- but they were all over the place! Marvel was such a powerhouse in the 1980's, basically all their books...
Hey Party People,
Here's my latest video, and can you believe it's not a Superhero Pow!? Yes, it's a new series called Animator on Animation. Where I, you're host animator, will look at some animation clips, and talk about what's good about them and what's bad about them. Along the way I'll tell...
Hey party people, here is my latest video, The Most- as in which superhero is the most- pick a category. I'm sure you know how much us superhero fans enjoy arguing about superheroes. Who's the strongest, who's the fastest, etc. Well this (possible) series will help answer those questions (inspire heated debate,...
Wowie, wow, wow, wow! Creating videos is hard work! This one took longer than I hoped, and it was aided by the fact that I started to do a little bit more writing for Anititcool.com. You can swing by there and read some of my, “This Week in Comics” articles. That,...
So this just a fun short one talking about Wonder Woman wardrobe. To steal a joke from Svengoolie: “You'd like to see more of Wonder Woman on TV? So would I, but that's as small as the censor's will allow her costume to be.” But seriously, this was something I found /...
Hey party people. I'll be honesty with ya. Sometimes it takes a loooong time to finish one of these video ones. So I thought I'd do myself a favor by making some shorter ones. So ta-da, under six minutes! Next month's video will be too, as I tackle some fun...
So just what the hell was George Lucas thinking!? No, not when he sold out to Disney- because we all know he wasn't! But what was he thinking about, when it came to the final Star Wars sequel trilogy. What was the actual story meant to be? Well that's what I...

Hey Party People,
Seems you all enjoy the Superfriends as much as I do, so I thought I'd make another video of them! At the same time, I came up with a new concept for videos: Why it's Great! Where I will list a few reasons why something is great. Preferably something not...
