April 29th, a day that will live in funfamy! That’s a neologism, folks! A mash-up of “fun” and “infamy”! For what better way to describe the cinematic perplexity that is 1974’s sci-fi classic Zardoz?
Buffalo’s North Park Theatre played host to me and my wily shenanigans this past Sarurday as I hosted Zardoz, (because hey, why not?) Family, friends, fans and a few anonymous victims turned up and provided a pretty decent crowd for this film. I donned an Egyptian klaft and did a little song and dance before the show, forever cementing my legacy as Buffalo’s premier showman! (Take a knee, Lance Diamond.)
Here are a few moments from the big night. Thanks again to everyone who came out!
Even the original run of Zardoz did not rate a poster this awesome!
Your host, in full 2293 garb!
Zardoz is everywhere!
Zardoz is everything!!
ALL HAIL ZARDOZ!!
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for: instructions from Zardoz on how to enjoy Zardoz. I created this cartoon (which ran before the movie) as a spoonful of sugar for the audience. It is rich in irony, and most satirical.
You’ve waited forever and a half for this, now behold! The Stuffed Friend animated cartoon is finally live and free on the Interwebnet! Robot Chicken? There’s the door!
Happy Government Shutdown, everyone! And wouldn’t you know that the Teapublicans would pick today. my very own birthday, to  ruin the nation? It’s like they think I’m not doing enough on my own to destroy Western Civilization! Um, haven’t you all seen those gauges people where in their ears these days? My idea!
As promised, here is a teaser trailer for Weapon Brown. Do not be mistaken: this is not the animated commercial that will run with my Kickstarter–just a foreshadowing of its awsomeness. Be sure to spread this around, though! Make it worth my while to have survived another year.
Those of you who lately have been wondering A) “Why the fargle has Jason been so skimpy with the blog posts lately ?”and B) “Who ate all my Sun Chips?” can finally cease your pondering. In no particular order, the answers are “Natalie’s brother Dino”, and “see below”.
These are stills from my nearly complete Weapon Brown animated commercial, the one that will grace my Kickstarter campaign for the Weapon Brown omnibus collection (hey, why not fund this campaign like I did?) I decided to get this project done, by hook or by crook, by the end of this month. And thanks to this blog post, I now probably won’t make my deadline. BUT YOU HAD TO KNOW, DIDN’T YOU??
Of course, if you were on my mailing list you would already have seen some of the animation on the YouTube. I keep telling you people that my mailing list Blockheads get frills that the common sheeple don’t. Must you keep resisting the call? The form is right underneath the comic strip every day…
If I do say so myself, the commercial is turning out damn fine. I recommend you all learn how to exploit a bootleg edition of After Effects and join the Internet revolution!
Stare into that place on the webnet that you fear to look and you will find me staring back at you!
Over at PerehlionSF.com, you can read my take on the movie Argo. Elsewhere, cartoonist extraordinaire Mat Bors stumbled across some animated gifs I made for the Something Awful forums which appropriated his artwork, and then posted them on his own site. Hoorah for the brotherhood of ink slingers!

…And here are those gifs in convenient YouTube format!
Soon you will all vote in the most important election in all of earth’s history! An election more historic than the one where the dinosaurs voted to defund their asteroid shield! But before you do, let Thomas Peterffy, right wing billionaire, try one last goddamn time to convince you to vote Republican!! (Warning: nothing on the Internet is safe for anywhere, especially work).
Don’t forget to cast your protest votes, kids! And as long as you are in a voting mood, vote for my cartoon on Newgrounds!
The Stuffed Friend animated short is growing closer to completion. Check out the Clarissa puppet!
Have you visited the cartoon’s web page yet?
Lookit this! A group of students at Stuttgart Media University have, for some reason, been attracted to the bleak horror of Clarissa! This is odd behavior for the Germans, often called the “laughing pink unicorns of Europe”, but no matter! They are turning Stuffed Friend, Clarissa’s most popular story, into an animated short! Woot!
This cartoon is being executed in the stop motion manner of movies like “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, and will probably be retitled “Die Madchen und der Hossenpfeffer” and used as an indoctrination video at a bratwurst factory. Hey, I take my fame where I can get it.
The film may be completed by as early as the end of the summer, and hopefully a special screening can be arranged for my Whatisdeepfried peeps. In the meantime, here is some of the production art the lads have completed. They also have a website, http://www.stuffed-friend.com/, for you to visit often.
