More upcoming Ollie & Scoops characters! Here is Julia's mom, Babs Goldburger. (Voiced by Yeardley Smith!) Constantly pushing her daughter to achieve excellence, perfection, and bringing GOLD to the Goldburger name, Babs is the reason Julia is the way she is. That poor kid...

It's Biscuits! A tough stray alley cat that Scoops has a crush on. SO tough, her butt fur got burned off sleeping too long under a car fender. But Scoops is a pet and a delicate flower, Biscuits thinks he's a pampered dweeb. What do you think, does Scoops have a chance with this tough lil' stinker?

With Nathan Fielder back in the spotlight, here's my Dumb Starbucks cup I still have! Right next to my cherished signed David Lynch coffee bag 😌 Good pal Daron Nefcy and I made a (confused) visit back in 2013 as the mysterious Dumb Starbucks was right in our neighborhood

I went to see Coyote vs. ACME but when the theater lights dimmed just this 16-seconds played on the screen then the house lights went up.. and I guess that was it? I was sorta expecting better animation and a MUCH longer runtime but it was okay I guess. I think AMC tricked me (I'M KIDDING.)

Completely gutted. RIP Dolly, I love you. From an Ollie & Scoops episode: Julia Goldburger's inner ego, clearly a loving homage to Dolly. (Voiced by @greydelisle.bsky.social, character rough designed by me, final design by genius artist @malusvermis.bsky.social!)

It's easy to forget... Animation and movies are, when you boil it down, a technical magic trick. An illusion. Sound and picture moving in time to create a story before our eyes. And behind it, just normal people. All Wizards of our own Oz. Pay no attention to the men and women behind the cameras...

Aw.. Don Iwerks, son of Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks, has passed. We used to go to Christmas parties at his house when I was just a toddler, as my mom worked at Iwerks Entertainment throughout the 80s. She always said he was the sweetest, best boss you could ask for. RIP Don!

It's such a shame that Kevin Conroy's last voice role records are just sitting here on my hard drive for the lame reason of simply not having enough funds to make the dang cartoon. Nearly 50% funded and I can make these animatic episodes! Please DONATE / SHARE! www.gofundme.com/ollie-scoops...

It is damn MARVELOUS to me how three indie films, two horror and one animated, are DESTROYING the box office right now while barely anyone gives a fart about the latest Star Wars product. I hope this is the big wake up call to studios - to let artists create and tell the stories they want to tell

When my neighbor Michelle passed in March, I posted for weeks trying to find her sweet kitties Kit & Caboodle a new forever home.

Just saw a preview screening of Toy Story 5 and.... dang. Someone at Pixar really has it out for Woody. A bald spot and a big beer belly's one thing, but seriously no one on the team thought it was a bit too much to also give him high cholesterol and a swollen prostate?

After their owner passed last week, I've just found a new forever home for her two sweet babies Kit & Caboodle! Their new parents aren't ready for them until late May though, so is there anyone in the LA area who can take in K&C and foster them just for the next 4-5 weeks? Please DM me, thanks!
