Oh, hey, hello.: A Regular, Regular Show Storyboarding Day
Okay, so as many of you may know, I work at Cartoon Network. I’m storyboard artist/writer on Regular Show. I’ve had people ask questions like “What happens in a typical day over there? What do you do all day? You just write jokes or what? Is that even actually a job? Go away, Owen.”
The answer is…
I did not realize LifeHacker was in our pitch! MADDIE, LOOK AT US PITCH A HILARIOUS EPISODE OF REGULAR SHOW! (and also read the article about JG)
Noah’s Boy on Whiskey, Cremate It, Hold the Grass
Efrain Farias colored Natasha’s design of Bee in her waitress uniform.
The big news is we should get in animation for the first “Bee and PuppyCat” short in less than three weeks. Exciting stuff.

Calvin and I had a lot of fun with this one.
100th Episode! Didnt work on this one, but its a great episode!
When she’s not revising storyboards for Adventure Time, creating cartoons for Cartoon Hangover, or laying tracks for California’s Bullet Train, Natasha Allegri is hard at work, writing and illustrating the Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake comics for BOOM! The first printing for issue #3 (above) is sold out, but others are still available.
Have You Bought Fionna & Cake #3, Yet?
Jennifer Cheng over at Comic Book Resources recommends you do. She writes,
It’s another very strong issue by Natasha Allegri. “Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake” #3 has some hilarious jokes that alone make the issue worth picking up. My favorites are some digs at the masculine vanity of Prince Gumball and Marshall Lee, a joke about vampirism and the mostly visual punchline of Fionna’s wish being granted.
Hats off to Natasha for another job well done. We can’t wait for #4.
Buy a copy or seven from your local comic shop, or order one from BOOM!

I just want to point out that while, yes R&D can be expensive and yes it takes a lot of technology and computing power to create films like yours, it is not computer chips and hard drives that are costing you so very much money. It is the artists that are helping you create your film.
So when you say “I would like it to be cheaper,” as an artist I take that personally. It took hundreds of hours from skilled artists and hard-working coordinators and producers to craft the environments and performances in life of Pi. Not to mention the engineers that wrote all of that proprietary code and build the R+H pipeline. That is where your money went. I’d say, judging from the night you just had, you got one hell of a deal.
Incidentally, those were the same gorgeous sunsets and vistas that your DP Claudio Miranda took credit for without so much as a word of thanks to those artists. And the same animated performances that helped win you the best director statue. Nice of you to mentionthe pool crew, but maybe you could have thanked the guys and gals who turned that pool in to an ocean and put a tiger in to that boat?
”If you’re wondering why VFX artists and their supporters are turning their social media avatars into green screens, or why the Academy Award winners for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Effects were played off the stage last night, this is why.
Come on, Mr. Lee. You are better than this.
