HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM @Fpencartoons !!! It’s an INVADER ZIM REUNION (of sorts) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Kevin Manthei, Composer of Invader Zim, Reunites with Season 1 Lead Character Designer John Fountain to Score Theme Music for His New Indie Cartoon Pilot “Battle Beetle” Acclaimed composer Kevin Manthei, who created the score for the beloved animated series Invader Zim, has signed on to write the theme music for John Fountain’s new indie cartoon pilot Battle Beetle, set for early 2027 release. The project marks a reunion with John Fountain, Invader Zim Season 1 lead character designer and creator of the new series.

ELECTRICAL - "I'll need 100 feet of 12-gauge romex and a bag of wire nuts." PLUMBING - "I have to find a 90-degree fitting. One end, pretty sure it's half-inch, is barbed, and the other is threaded like this. Not sure if it's 3/4" or 1", so I'll buy one of every size between."

Hey #writersoftwitter !!! My dear friend and colleague Aydrea Walden has launched a networking course for creative professionals who kinda hate networking. She took all the stuff she wished someone had told her 10 years ago and put it into this program. I get DMs all the time asking for tips this kinda stuff… here’s your answer. You’re welcome.

I know it's a long ways away from Digital Circus, but... hey, it's a start! #Blender #Blender3D #IndieAnimation #SwiftSpark

I’m conflicted about this 😅 Just kidding… GO @glitch_prod !!! Support #IndieAnimation!

Actually, the scienterrific name is Guacus Molus.

CASHIER: "Any big plans for the weekend?" ME: *Checks instructions* "Looks like I'll be hand-tightening the locking nut until it's flush against the faucet flange."

In honor of the bombastic success of #TheAmazingDigitalCircus here are my 10 year old daughter’s “fan art” drawings.

My review of TADC:TLA

Hey, wanna cheap #art #commission that’s oddly more fun than the more expensive stuff? Consider a doodle by “F”! Or - as I call them - “FOODLES”! Prices start at $5 - usually takes less than 24-48 hrs! Shoot me a DM! More samples in replies!

Have I mentioned that @Fpencartoons is also making a NIGHTMARE HUNTERS comic as a companion to the cartoon pilot we’re making? It’s gonna be amazing! Stay tuned for updates!

No-one ever saw him again, but some swear that on stormy nights at the self-checkout kiosk, you can hear his anguished moaning and the quiet crinkle of a plastic grocery bag whose opening was never found.

Three days after the announcement, I bought tickets for me, my kids, and a family friend. Since then, I've managed to avoid all spoilers and stay out of the drama, and we are all still super excited for Thursday evening. Sincere congratulations to everyone involved.

I went to the hardware store for a stud finder. I searched, but didn't want to ask because I was afraid they'd make a joke about it. I didn't want to ask a man or a lady. After 15 minutes, I convinced myself I was being silly and asked a guy. He made the joke. It was awkward.

WHAT’s UP, PARTY PEOPLE?! Big news, everyone! 🎉 I’m thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented Ashlyn Madden to Fountain’s Pen Productions!

Zig-A-Zig AH, Ashlyn! #indieanimation @Fpencartoons @ashlyn_madden

Not totally sure what the wazoo is, but I've got red tape from government agencies coming out of it.

If you're cooking a Hamburger Helper and the bag bursts, sending macaroni flying all over the kitchen, and you grab a box of spaghetti to replace it... Just know that big ol' box of spaghetti absorbs a whole lot more water than that tiny bag of macaroni.
