NEW ANIMATION FROM YOURS TRULY

Anyone who spends any time on YouTube has seen the phenomenon that is "lonelygirl15". She's a sad 15 (or 16) year-old girl who struggles with her overprotective parents. A search for "lonelygirl15" or "LG15" turns up not only several (mega-popular) videos from the young woman, but also tons of replies to her whining. Some are from young people, and are funny. And some are from older men, and are... shall we say, creepy.

Well, my wife and I have been looking for something to do with a dorky/neglected teenage character she created years ago for an on-stage sketch comedy show. She also did several sketches with her on MadTV. However, she retained the rights to the character, and with my animtion skills improving over the years... well, the time seemed right.

So, without further adieu, here's "A REPLY TO LONELYGIRL15 FROM SUSAN WHITFIELD":

Seriously, Russ, I said to Lisa these Susan toons are about to pay your mortgage. This is just about the Arches finest hour so far... as far as a collaboration goes.

Love the designs, dude! And Lisa destroys me as Susan. Animated Susan's a little more pathetic than real-life Susan. I like that! How 'bout towards the end when the screen proceeds to scramble? Her reaction is priceless.

Get this OUT there.

She eats the cheese-flavored powder packet from the Mac n' Cheese like "FUN DIP".

You two can go get bent.

I found this on Youtube rather by accident and it's the best thing I've seen in ages. Thank you guys! (BTW, I think LG15 is every bit as fictional as poor ol' Susan...)
