Flapjack was nominated for "Best Animated Television Production" in this years Annie awards!

And our very own JG Quintel and John Infantino got nominated for best direction!




And my drivers license is getting suspended (again) for being a terrible driver...










Oh yeah, and I guess MODEST MOUSE loves Flapjack and might do a song for us...

FLAPJACK DVD'S ARE FINALLY OUT IN STORES! You can also get em on amazon! You should go get yourself a thanksgiving present...

Well here’s a pile of Cartoon News:


(Pen, me, and Carl Greenblatt)

CHOWDER isn’t getting picked up for a third season. The whole crew is pretty much over at Disney now (workin’ on a new show called FISHHOOKS). Except Carl Greenblatt (the creator of Chowder) Who is cookin’ up something new. Which will be great I’m sure, ‘cause Carl is rad

Adventure Time is going strong and will be awesome.

FLAPJACK got picked up for a third season of six half hours (12 eleven minute episodes). Then maybe more, maybe not, it’s a sssssseeecret. Anyways, we’ll be airing brand new episodes for at least a year!

Also Cartoon Network picked up my Buddy JG Quintel’s “REGULAR SHOW” (JG was creative director on Flapjack) for six half hours. And it’ll be awesome. Yes, if you work on Flapjack, you automatically get your own show. Come join us!

ALSO, they’re pickin’ up a new one called “HORRORBOTS” by the guy who makes SUPERJAIL. Whom I don’t know… but I should meet him. Cause that show is awesome…

I guess Cartoon Network is only picking up shows in 6’s now.
3 new shows. SIX new half hours = 666 = Satan is now calling the shots now at cartoon network…

Although I think he changed his number.

(also please know that I am totally kidding. Neither I nor Cartoon Network is Satanic) (although we both like devil’s food cake) (which, I know, is sinful)

Also, I just got back from VACATION…
Which I spent sailing and working on my treehouse and making little boats. Yesterday we kayaked through a hobo jungle in Ventura. It was amazing. But creepier and creepier the further back we went. Like “Apocalypse Now”. And then we had to pee. Which was exhilarating standing on the banks, peeing in what may have been a hobo’s living room (a bush). And hearing them rustle around in their garages (clumps of bamboo)... and knowing that they could probably see our wieners...

Also, I buried a treasure in a cave. At Sea.

And I made a sweet-ass map to it.

Which I put in an old spanish bottle with a key (to the treasure chest). And buried THAT at another beach, strategically, so my niece’s and nephews would stumble across it. Which they did. And they also shit themselves. And now they will spend the rest of their lives believing that they found pirate treasure, because their old Unkie Thurop is a liar… It had real jewels and gold in it too!

Also, I crashed my sailboat. Which I do pretty much every time I sail. Which you should remember before you go sailing with me. And then whilst at sea, I cranked up my motor, and it ripped itself off the boat and sank down into the brink. And Leif laughed for 4 hours about it. And I wanted to get rid of it anyways. ‘Cause I’m old-timie…

OH YEAH, ALSOOOO...
You can pre-order Flapjack DVD's on Amazon now. It has probably the weirdest special features you will ever see in your life. You should get one:

(because I need money for the next treasure I hide) (whoah, actually, that would be crazy cool... I could post the map online and everyone could go on a real-life crazy treasure hunt... hmmmm...)

…well not really, but I did makeout with a spawning grunion, and I think I swallowed some of its eggs…

Pen’s beach party was super–fun and there were some really amazing artists there. And a bunch of other amazing dudes and a guy on acid that I wrestled…

But everyone left before THE GRUNION HIT THE BEACH… which was amazing. Grunion are these 8-inchish fish that look like sardines



…and swim up to the beach to hump and lay eggs… its amazing. And you can catch ‘em with your bare hands! My friend Ako (who is the greatest person in the world) and I were wrastlin’ em down and bringing them up to the bonfire and showing off our new fishfriends… and then Shion told us that they were gonna get brain damage being out of the water so long… so I gave them mouth to mouth. In my mouth. So… I think I’m pregnant. Which is exciting.


BUT EVEN MORRRRRRE EXCITING IS GIANT SQUID
…which last week were washing up on the beach in San Diego.

I HAVE WANTED TO WRESTLE A GIANT SQUID MY WHOLE LIFE. And to have a chance to actually do it would be the greatest thing in all the world…

So after asking around a bunch, I find out that they’re comin’ from a deep submarine canyon that ends up in La Jolla cove. Which is a mile and a half wide and you hafto take a kayak out to the canyon.

So we find La Jolla, we find La Jolla cove, and theres a “no diving” sign on the lifeguard station because of the waves and the murky water. And kayaks are all rented out. …But this is my one chance. So I head out with my snorkel through the waves, into water that I can’t see past the end of my arm. And I think to myself that this is retarded… I will never see anything anyways… and then I swim down to the bottom and see an eyeball

A LEOPARD SHARK! WOOHOOOO!
(ht
Maybe its worth it! I swim down again… still there! And then I just start a swimming… and all I can see is blobs and dark shapes floating by... And eyes. So many eyes! Maybe they’re squid eyes and I’m surrounded! And then I finally realize that all those eyeballs I’ve been seeing are just a spot on my contacts…. Ahahaaahaaaaa… I am retarded…

So anyways, I never saw any giant squids or sharks. But I saw some garibaldis and rock perch and kelp beds which are cool. Its freaky not seeing anything till its two feet from your face… but it was fun. When I got to the other side I tried to hitch a ride but The people of La Jolla just laughed at me… so I walked back. And I have blisters. AND I’M PREGANT…
