Talk to the Snail

Can you believe it? Finally, Nicktoons Network will show the last three un-aired Random! Cartoons — “Squirly Town”, “Fanboy”, and “Handycat” — we produced with Nick so many, many years ago (Winsor McCay was a layout artist on four of the shorts). What took so long, you ask? Well, a bunch of reasons, but for this last delay, you can blame Eric Robles. Once Fanboy and Chum Chum, the series, went into production, the network decided not to air the original “Fanboy” short before the series premiered and became as beloved by generations as it is today. While Eric’s been busy on his show, poor Doug TenNapel and G. Brian Reynolds and Russ Harris, whose shorts were completed in February 2007 and September 2006, will just now see their work on the teevee. Congratulations, guys, and sorry about the wait.

“Fanboy” airs Saturday at noon in the east, 9:00 a.m. in the west, as the [Read more…]

“Handycat”, created by G. Brian Reynolds and Russ Harris
Handycat, along with his dog, Drillbit, are totally at your service! They’re available for anything! General Contracting! Pest Removal! Baby Sitting! Space Shuttle Repair! If a job needs to be done, Handycat can do it! (Just make sure the insurance policies are paid up!)

Most might think heading a successful, small animation studio would be enough, but G. Brian Reynolds secretly longed to be something else — a handyman. Russ Harris, his creative partner, always wanted to be a dog. Together this misbegotten and silly creative team brings you “Handycat”!
