Best of Original Cartoons:
Fanboy and Chum Chum
FredFilms Postcard Series 8.9
Creator Eric Robles pulled something off with his Fanboy & Chum Chum (one of the wonderful Random! Cartoons that made it to series) that I’d bet most people would think is not possible in a cartoon for kids. He used his own, personal story as the basis of a rip roaring, CG comedy.
Eric grow up in LA’s San Fernando valley as a latch key kid, someone most of us can relate to. Everyday after school he’d hang at his neighborhood’s 7-Eleven with his buddies and crack jokes, talk about comics, video games, TV and cartoons. Together, they created a community. In my town, it was the local record store, in others it was an ice cream parlor, but wherever it was for you, those people made life worth living.

Can anyone please tell me if they have saved all of the Glitch Techs Season 3 animatics anywhere? At least some of the original tweets have been deleted, and Twitter as a whole may just disappear soon, and those things need to be preserved.
Apparently some or all of the animatics were also posted to an official “GlitchCord” (Discord server). Can anyone confirm if these were the same posted to Twitter, and if any were posted there that weren’t posted to Twitter?

”this kiss”
a/n: little short one this time (time kind of got away from me this week so i had to hustle a bit)
I spent the night with Eric and Lou and I would never forget what I had heard in that next room as I was trying to fall asleep. It didn’t help that the room and the entire house had fallen dark, and I had nothing better to do than to eavesdrop on them in there.
As far as I remembered, they had gone to bed after having shared a whole bottle of wine from Paso Robles together. I, too, had gone to bed as well, but I stayed up when their laughter seemed a bit more interesting than the suggestion of going to sleep, especially when the next day was so exciting that I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep, anyway. I kept the door slightly ajar so I could have a sliver of some extra light prior to falling asleep. I had this thought that I could look on at the light and count down until I fell asleep, but I lay flat on my back and gazed up at the ceiling. The shadows all around the cottage cheese and that was all I could think about as well. A bit of cottage cheese on some crackers, that was all I could think about whenever I even attempted to fall asleep.
Some cottage cheese and some prosciutto.
Eric and Lou were downstairs, and the last glimpse I took of them, they had busted out some champagne flutes but they were laughing it up as if they had had a bunch of soda instead. We were all in the realm of royalty but we knew how to let loose every now and again, be it with our crowns or our childhood memories.
I put my hands underneath my head, and I closed my eyes. I tried to go to sleep. I thought about going downstairs to join them but I had to be well-rested for the party the next day.
I opened my eyes at the mere suggestion.
They were the one match that I had always seen as odd, simply because they had no drama between them. As much as I loved Alex and the two Chucks, I needed to breathe every now and again. I needed to see something normal and good. I was glad that they let me stay with them for the time being, that is until I found a place myself and I could find my way into the royalty on my own. I could have my own crown and my own prince once I found my own footing through it all.
The thought of them being the normal ones was enough to make me sleepy. I closed my eyes yet again when I heard the cork popping off the neck of the bottle. It was going to be a long while before they went to bed, but at that point I had no desire to fall asleep.
Their laughter floated up to the second floor and I held my breath so I could better hear the words that they were saying. I could just hear them drinking it up and laughing it up down there, but I wanted to know about the one normal couple in all of this, though.
Their words were then muffled by something. There was nothing more than a wall dividing me from the two of them, but I knew that it had nothing to do with that. There had to have been a reason why their voices had muffled down right then.
I finally sat up in bed and swung one leg out from under the blankets. I barely rested my foot on the floor lest the boards creak underneath my weight.
Maybe it was the sense of fatigue overcoming me but I had to figure it out. The one normal couple in the whole shebang, and I was witnessing some real dirt right at my fingertips. Or right at my ears, rather, and when they least suspected it as well. Even with my flagging energy and dropping eyelids, I had to find out about it.
Their whispers floated up to me as if they were ghosts on the backs of notes. I swore that I heard the words “this kiss”. I had no idea as to what they were expecting from each other, but I wished to know, and a part of me wanted to get out of bed just so I could see what was happening down there. I had to think of some kind of excuse, some sort of explanation as to why I got up again, like whenever I would explain to my parents why I got up in the middle of the night, and it was always to fetch a drink of water.
That was it.
I slid out of bed and I sauntered over to the doorway for a brief moment.
I swore that if I was going to hear the words “this kiss” one more time, I was going to have to pick myself up off the floor and see what was happening because as far as I knew, things were going crazy in there.
I wanted to know and yet I also didn’t want to know. I wanted them to have their privacy together, their champagne together, all of it all together.
And then I could hear it. The gasps. The heavy breathing. I could hear everything from up there at the doorway and I could put two and two together even from there. I needed a drink of water but then again, it was probably just my own predisposition, like a placebo effect of some sort.
Careful not to make the floor creak under me, I crept back to the comfort of my bed. I slid under the bed as I realized what they were doing downstairs and after they had kicked back a little bit of bubbly. They were bigger lightweights than me!
Bigger lightweights than me and yet I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.
I was wide awake, and I could hear everything that was going on in there. And I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.
I finally laughed myself to sleep, no less.
