It's a bird! It's a plane! It's an update!

Hey guys, you may have noticed I haven't update in a while. Well that's because I hate my blog, or at least I did until I (maybe Pat) decided it would be better for news and updates about what I'm working on right now. Which curiously all happens to be stuff for his site, but at least you'll have something to be excited about.

My blog will however remain to be Fat Penguins, regardless of it's having nothing to do with penguins, or excess body weight. But don't worry, I will continue to draw fat penguins and eventually set up a series of Penguin comics. So, for anyone and pretty much everyone who only came here because the penguins were cute, can still eagerly await more penguins.

Hey, I have a fun game, take a drink every time I say penguins. Well, maybe not, I don't think anyone would make it to the end of this post. Anyway, I'm working with flash on a cartoon currently called (I probably will change it) "The Ugly Balloon". It's basically a retelling of the Ugly Duckling with balloons instead of ducks, somewhat because I wish I was Big Idea, somewhat because it is a creative idea, but mostly because balloons are easy to draw. And considering I have no practice, something easy would be a good start.

So far it's only two minutes long, when it's done I'm guessing it will be around ten minutes. I probably will make it into parts, but if I do, they will all go up at the same time and not released as finished, because I will be going back and editing parts when it's finished.

Right now I've got basically a day in the life of the Ugly Balloon who's name is to be decided. He's pretty much got a lousy life, boring job, and no real job. And through some twist of events he ends up at the outskirts of balloon land were a war is going on and he meets Bootsack, who agrees to helphim get to the King of Balloon land who apparently grants wishes. And so basically it goes on from there, but not much is done right now.


In other news I've just finished a new Barg, Barg the Director. It's a Russian roulette Barg and its got everyone from the boards with more than fifteen posts. I will next time be toning it down to the top ten posters because this Barg had so many people (I had to write up twenty-five parts) that it took me three days to right. So, go post... Actually probably no one reads this and posts on our boards other than Pat and Grant.

So go to www.alternative-internet.com and read it, and soon the balloon thing will be up too. Okay, not for a while, but keep an eye out for it anyway.
