These are three shorts I made for a FOX pilot I sold with the legendary/ wonderful Jack Black back in 2007. These shorts were produced thanks to the amazing and lovely Jennifer Howell who stepped into office at 20th Century Fox as the head of animation around the same time I was writing the pilot script for this show. They originally passed on my insane pilot script, and then Jen pleaded with the big wigs to find some money for me to produce a pilot presentation. Here it is. For the first time ever. Never before seen. Fresh for your eyes. I had a lot of help on this. Some blood, sweat, and a few tears were shed here. Not literally though. No one cried. Myke Chillian, Dan O’Conner, and Collin Flemming were the lead character animators and boy oh boy did they do a TON of work let me tell you. There were also other fine folks who worked on background and color and I am in the ongoing process of collecting everyone’s information for you all to see. stay tuned. OH...
This was a collaboration between myself and Myke Chilian (who stars as the zany game show host). We got started around 6pm on the night of a Channel101 panel meeting, hoping we could finish in time before they locked down the final selection of shows to be screened that month. I got it edited JUST in time to rush it over there only to be rejected. I feel like this was in late 2005 or early 2006. Boy what a mistake they made. This thing is pure comedy gold. My friend Julie Gollins helped us out by being the second contestant. We definitely had a lot of fun making this.

A lot of crazy shit went down in "railroad times." Here are just a few important tales. By Kelsy Abbott.
This here is a cartoon I wrote for the Sarah Silverman show y’all! Same team as on all the short cartoons I wrote and directed for the Sarah show. The Fantastimart characters were designed by Rob Schrab. He’s great. He should design more things. I guess he just doesn’t have any time.
Once upon a time, Mr. Sprinkles brought mirth to children on rainy days. That was once upon a time: this is now.
When asked to say a few words about Reporters, Justin Roiland replied, "It's a modern tale and struggle of... uhm... I dunno. A fantastic epic following the struggles of two well-meaning newspaper reporters and their out-of-the-ordinary boss." He then left the room and returned moments later to add: "A.K.A. a slapdash turd of a Channel 101 show." This insane attempt from Roiland, Vatche Panos, and Kelsy Abbott charmed audiences just enough in January of 2007 to fill the Prime Time void left by the Phone Sexxers self-cancellation. Even later, Justin returned to add that "Reporters is the only Channel 101 show that has AIDS. You should put that."
A lot of people forget that before creating one of Channel 101's most marketable [if illegal?] breakouts, House of Cosbys, Comic Sacrifice was the team that brought you Hilarious Jokes and It's Twissleton. Imagine, if you will, Justin Roiland blowing off steam...
House of Cosbys was an animated cartoon about a Bill Cosby fan, who creates a cloning machine to clone a series of Cosbys, each with a different personality. There were four episodes made by Justin Roiland, each about five minutes. An unofficial fifth episode was also made. It was first aired on the internet television channel Channel 101, and was the first of Channel 101's programs to spend three consecutive months at the number one spot.
This is another one of the cartoons I wrote and directed for The Sarah Silverman Program. Same team as the other Sarah cartoons, consisting of Andrew Delange on backgrounds, design, and color; Myke Chilian on character animation, design, and color, AND the absolutely adorable Sevan Najarian on Aftereffects animating, lip sync, and other odds and ends. We were a one stop shop. We had it down. We knew what we were doing. We had it all figured out. Huge shout out to Abed Gheith who voiced the evil Mister Cookiecrumble guy. He really did a great job. Good work pal! These were really fun to make. We were on the lot, able to run around the sets and be assholes while everyone else worked hard to produce and film Sarah’s show. I would go and grab whoever I could in between takes and record them in an office or whatever I had available to me. We really were a rag tag team of rough and tumble animators, just finding our way in the big bright city. I was so proud/ excite...
Rock Gods, as a followup to the much loved but short-lived S.O.S. Fantome, officially established The Valley Pals as recognizable, bankable talent within the 101 universe. The second episode in particular felt like a group of young writer/performers truly finding their own unique voice, after which point it's easy to imagine that the tedious chore of animating this show became less attractive. Having realized that they could probably get just as many votes for one tenth the labor, The Valley Pals voluntarily retired their own hit show by going over the time limit in a very memorable fourth episode.
