I wrote and developed Capt. Linger with J.J. Sedelmaier (Ambiguously Gay Duo, Beavis and Butthead, TV Funhouse, etc.) for Cartoon Network, later shown on Adult Swim and Sunday Pants. I was only going to include a couple but couldn’t pick. Everyone had a different favorite.
Watering Hole was a short series I wrote and developed with Soup2Nuts about zoo animals after hours, doing what we all do after hours. We drink. Again, couldn’t pick. I recorded the VO for all these in a small studio in New York. The cast was a who’s who of past murderers and victims from Law & Order.
I wasn’t going to include this, and honestly hadn’t watched it in years. But dammit, I wrote it and it’s funny. When Survivor had just begun airing, I was asked to do a parody using Cartoon Network characters. Ashley Kohler and I took a skeleton crew to Daufuskie Island in South Carolina to shoot backplates for the animators to use with rotos of the characters. We endured all kinds of flying insect bites, scrapes, ticks, sunburn and a thunderstorm, and it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had.
And the following is a sampling of other favorite shorts I wrote and developed during and after Cartoon Network.
