INTRODUCTION
Storyboarding is hard.
Really, really, REALLY hard.
Twenty-Five years ago I went in for a job interview at Klasky Csupo for a character design gig and met with Mitch Watson - a producer for their new show, “The Wild Thornberrys”.

CHAPTER 8 - Post Mortem
Let’s talk about pitching a cartoon show, shall we?
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve tried to give you all of the practical information I have based on my experience on how to pitch a cartoon.
Not as easy as you thought, huh?
Everything I know came from trial-and-error on my part.
You will try.
You will error.

One of the major, emotional milestones I wish I had gotten over sooner is that - as corny as this sounds - life IS, in fact, all about the journey - not the destination.

I’ve spent a lot of time preparing you for disappointment.
And rightfully so. The odds are undeniably stacked against you.
But - let’s say you pitched your show, everything went great, and a couple of weeks later, you get the call everyone hopes for:
“We’re interested.”

Congrats!
In many cases, you’ll have a pretty good idea what your chances look like within the first 120 seconds of your pitch.
By the time you speak the title of the show and first paragraph of your pitch, you’ll probably be able to see it on their faces.

Anything other than a “I love this idea!” and you’re looking at a “maybe” at best. “Interesting” is often code for “no.”
But, as I stated previously, you’re not just pitching a cartoon, you’re pitching yourself… so you need to maintain your composure no matter what.

You’re a glutton for punishment, huh? Well… good… because if you’re going to pitch your cartoon ideas, you’ve gotta love getting punched in the gut.
And get punched in the gut you most certainly WILL!

Unless you’re one of those assholes who just comes up with something exceedingly brilliant and gets a fantastic development deal your first time around. In which case, the rest of us will sit here smiling and trying to make our “congratulations” seem sincere.
But I digress.

No matter how great your cartoon idea is, sometimes it’s simply “Not the right time” or “not the right fit” for whatever entity you’re pitching to.

CHAPTER 1
PITCHING A SHOW: Why?
One of the things about animation that a lot of people find frustrating is that it often becomes a “nexus” where CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION and COMMERCE are uncomfortably merged.
This phenomenon can create a lot of challenges and struggles. Obviously, as with all things, sometimes the stars align just perfectly and it all happens with flawless precision, but those instances are VERY few and VERY far between.

Before we get started, let me sort of lay down how this is all going to happen.
I’m gonna do my best to give you some perspective on how to go about pitching and/or selling your original ideas to a network or media platform based on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
I’m gonna do my best to give you some perspective on how to go about pitching and/or selling your original ideas to a network or media platform based on MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Why do I put those words in BOLD CAPS, you ask? Because my experiences are unique, personal and potentially outdated. I haven’t REALLY “pitched” anything in over a decade - and that should tell you something right there.
Exciting! My article for @AIS_1967 “Performative Diplomacy: Iran–Republic of China Relations, 1920–1949” has been published.
It’s OpenAccess!
Wonder what Chiang Kai-shek thought of Reza Shah?

So what can you expect from this article? It fill a gap in the literature by sketching a narrative of RoC-#Iran relations between 1920 and 1949, by analyzing the factors behind #Sino-Iranian cooperation and competition in the #tea and #silk trades and at the League of Nations.
What did I find? Unofficial commercial interests, including Iranian merchants in Shanghai, played a large role in driving Sino-Iranian relations. Iranian companies were well established in China and Hong Kong, mostly shipping tea. See for example this advert in an expat paper.
1/ Mensen die kwetsende #cartoons verspreiden en de #profeet #Mohammed voor nare dingen uitmaken…
zouden zij zich nooit afvragen waarom miljárden mensen zo, zó erg van die man houden?

Vrede en zegeningen zij met hem.

Uma das hipocrisias q reina neste séc.XXI é #censura a #filmes e séries #TV q retratem realidades q não são, nos dias de hoje, politicamente correctas ou aceitáveis, e a censura à satirização humorística sobre certos temas, grupos ou características de pax.

Mas estes arautos dos bons costumes e valores universais não se dão ao trabalho de fazer o mesmo escrutínio p milhões de #livros. Porquê? Porque dá trabalho e não gera visibilidade nas #redessociais e #imprensa.

Contributed to @Guardian Podcast 'Today In Focus': The murder of schoolteacher Samuel #Paty who had shown his class #cartoons of the prophet #Muhammad has rekindled a debate in #France over #secularism & the state’s role in regulating #FreeSpeech. (21'-29')
I emphasise that we can discuss the general problem of hateful #cartoons about the Prophet #Muhammad & his Muslim followers that spread collective guilt & humiliate often underprivileged #minority communities beyond acts of barbaric #terrorism. #Racism #Islamophobia #CharlieHebdo
I think that @EmmanuelMacron acted in a manner that was rash & unstatesmanlike following the vile murder of Samuel #Paty. He has effectively incorporated #cartoons mocking #Islam into its domestic policies. He defended them as part of French culture & #France’s global image.
A thread of my #comics #writing and analysis to pin. First: #Hickman’s #XMen work on #HouseofX, Tom Miller’s graphic design, and oppression, rage, and numbness in 21st century America. A work more painfully relevant today than when it debuted last year. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/187524984…
A review of Judas by Jeff Loveness and Jakub Rebelka. Published by @boomstudios. A moving work of religious art. One of my favorite #comics of the last decade. #writing timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/181821967…
Here is a bit of a different piece. A theological reflection on #Superman and #superheroes. Wrote this for a class while I was working on my master’s in theology. Just my long way of saying, reading and #writing #comics can be a form of prayer. timlikescomics.tumblr.com/post/126117455…

India's first Prime Minister famously said "Don't spare me Shankar" (a leading Indian cartoonist). But #Gandhi did not spare Shankar ;) I wrote about this in my book Caricaturing Culture.

#Gandhi tapped the power of #cartoons & #public communication early into his journalistic career in #SouthAfrica. Cartoons could be Satyagraha (truth force). His #newspaper the Indian Opinion published and interpreted British cartoons.

Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.
The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.
She needs REASONS. She got them.
Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”
The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

Hey guys! It seems like Twitter has gotten pretty depressing lately, so I’d like to liven things up with some LOONEY TUNES. Starting today, I’m going to be posting my thoughts on all 1000 of the original Warner Bros. cartoons, with a gif from each short to go along with it.
As an animator, the @WBLooneyTunes cartoons are my biggest inspirations, so I thought it would be fun to take a look at all the great films that brought us Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Wile E. Coyote, etc.
These are just my opinions on the cartoons, by the way, so if you disagree or have a different reaction, I’d love to hear from you (assuming anyone is reading this).
