Least I Could Do - RSS Feed

It would have been easy, I suppose, to let the business dealings of Teletoon weigh me down. Instead, over the last few days, the support from you folks has removed any negativity from my mind.

Not only do you allow Lar and I to do what we do for a living, but you also apparently want to see an LICD animated series as much as we do, if not more so.

So much to the point, that 5 days in to this project, you've already raised 75% of the total amount needed, making this one of the fastest gaining projects on Kickstarter and the fastest in the comics industry.

That''s something I''m insanely proud of and something to keep in mind anytime doubt creeps into my mind.

With only 25% left to go, let''s finish this up, shall we?

You and I, we''ve got a pilot to make.

For going on 4 years, I have been working hard to bring LICD to the small screen, via a traditionally 2D animated series. Working with Teletoon (the Canadian version of the Cartoon Network), everything was in place to get the series off the ground.

And that’s about the time things went to shite.

Could Noel be of African American descent? Maybe Mick should be middle eastern. How do you feel about setting the series in Toronto? Issa should be a native. All of the friends should live together? Rayne’s neice, Ashley, shouldn’t be in the show. Instead of sleeping with women, could Rayne date them casually? We’d like one of the characters to smoke a great deal of pot.

The list goes on.

Suffice it to say, I wasn’t about to let this series get bastardized into a watered-down shell of its former self. Thanking everyone for their time, I walked away from the deal and waited until the contract expired.

Cut to recently. It was brought to my attention that the kind folks at Teletoon took a lot of our hard work, both intellectual and art, and used it in one of their new series. Not only that, but they took our hard work and made a shitty series.

Rather than let the rage consume me, I would turn this into something positive, something good for LICD and its readers. Rather than let anyone dictate what we can or can’t do, we will make our own pilot. With your help.

I will put my money where my mouth is, and match the pledges dollar for dollar. I wouldn't ask you for something that I don't believe in myself.

With your help, we will produce a 22-minute animated LICD pilot, making it as it should be.

Once that is done, we will have a finished episode to shop around to various outlets and do our best to get a full series made.

We need your help. More importantly, we want the community to be a part of this. Please head on over to the [url="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/537261515/least-i-could-do-the-pilot"]Kickstarter[/url] page for more info.

As always, we thank you for your support.

A couple year back, when I purchased our house, I made a very lengthy post about all the fun power tools I got to play with, and why everyone thought that was a bad idea.

Axes. Sledgehammers. Chainsaws. Awesome at the time, but no longer.

My friends, I have upgraded.
