Episode IV: Striking Out

by Justin on June 11th, 2008

Posted In: Cartoon

The fourth episode was the first originally produced for College Sports Television (CSTV). They wanted a cartoon that focused on college students playing sports. It seemed a little generic to do a basketball or football story, so instead we picked an even more generic sport and went with bowling. Actually, we spent a great deal of time in college bowling, so it seemed like a natural fit.

Episode III: The King and Us

The third episode was an attempt at doing a real episode for television. We formulated a full storyline, aimed at the commercial-friendly 22-minute range, and set to work. After the events of the first episode and all the controversy it spurred, President Czar had been rising in popularity as one of our favorite characters, as well as our readers. So instantly he went to the head of the class for a major role in the third episode.

Episode II: Bada Bing!

The second episode was under production before the first ever premiered. The idea was that it was going to be the controversial episode, since we took shots at every religious denomination just about imaginable. Surely with the episodes airing in a fairly Bible Belt heavy part of America, this would be the episode that got people enraged and calling for our heads. Alas, our heads were spared.

Behind the Scenes

The first episode ever of the cartoon took the longest and definitely sparked the most attention. Work began on the episode in around June of 2002. At that time, neither David nor Justin had much experience writing or animating a cartoon.

"I had written short films before, but this had a completely different feel to it from live action," said Young.

Halloween Party

by Justin on June 11th, 2008

JUSTIN: In college we used to have a Halloween party every year. They met with varying levels of success, but it seemed appropriate that this should be echoed somehow in the comic strip. This is also one of the strip’s that really establishes President Czar’s complete indifference towards what his employees have to say.

OFTEN MISSED: Blind Professor and Dr. Bones make cameos again in this week’s strip. Dr. Bones seems vitally important for a Halloween strip, obviously. Both characters became fixtures of the Professor Hobo universe, though rarely featured in strips.
