I actually did visit a dump once. It was during a field trip when I was running summer camps for kids. I have to say, the dump really is a pretty cool place to visit. It was pretty interesting. I’m not saying I’m gonna go take a date there any time soon, but it was actually pretty cool.

I may or may not have two of those talking toy bears from the 80′s…in my garage…right now…at this very moment…

Good stuff in the “FAQ” section if you haven’t already checked it out. New stuff in the “Sell-Out” section coming soon!

So Wendy’s been taken out with the trash. It’ll be interesting to see what comes of all this. If you haven’t already done so, check out the “FAQ” section. The characters decided to get together and hold a press conference. From there you can even submit your own question and they might answer it in future press conferences. Heck, you can even record your own question into an audio file and send that to us. If it’s good enough, we’ll use it. So check it out, and enjoy. Here’s the link one more time: http://www.raccoontoons.com/faq.html

You will of course need flash installed in your browser to see it. So if you’re reading this from an iPhone or one of those iPad thingies…um…go get yourself a real computer.

I’ve been working hard. I’m working on the “FAQ” section right now, and it’s going to be a sort of press conference type of thing. I think it will be really fun when I get it all finished. Check back for it at the end of the week if it isn’t up in the next few days.

On a completely different note, I think my paperwork finally went through so that I officially graduated college. Hey. How about that. After years of jumping through hoops with school, it’s still a little hard to believe. I’ll feel better when that terribly expensive piece of paper with the word “diploma” finally arrives in the mail…

Update 13th May 2010 – There’s a new cartoon in the “toons” section! Be sure to watch “A Storybook Tale.”

It’s been both interesting and challenging to take the comic strip back to a storyline. When I first started drawing the strip back in 2002-03 all I did were long story arcs. When I started getting published in newspapers, I tried to tailor my work more to fit the needs of the demographic I was being published for. Anyway, it’s fun to do a story arc like this. I haven’t done one like this since Michael was causing trouble in the cafeteria.

You all need to come back and check the site again tomorrow (Thursday the 13th). I will be adding the much awaited “Storybook Tale” cartoon to the “Toons” section. It’s something I’ve a fun flash project I’ve been working on for quite some time, so be sure to check it out!!

I’m actually starting a new storyline here. It’ll be interesting to see how this goes. It’s going to be a nice change from what I’ve done for the past little while. I haven’t done a structured storyline like this since I did “Cafeteria Escapades” waaaaaaaay back when.

I’ve been working hard on wrapping up my “Storybook Tale” animated cartoon, which should be posted on the site on the 13th or 14th of this month, so be sure to look out for that. Also been working hard on getting the “FAQ” section up and running, which should also be fun. Check back again soon!!

Been busy lately. I’ve got enough in the pipeline now to keep me busy for the next few weeks, so that’s nice. Be sure to check regularly as new things are being added. You can always see the latest updates by going to the “main” page by clicking the “main” button on the Raccoon Toons logo at the top of the page. This is a page done in flash, so enable your flash, and if you’re on an iPod or some little Apple device…um…come back and visit on a real computer.

23 – April – 2010 Update – The “Cast” section is up. Meet the characters!

Michael likes garbage. He is a raccoon, after all… Beginning of a new story arc? Perhaps…

There’s a lot of fun new additions coming to the site. The “Cast” section will be up very soon, sometime this week I should think. After that will be the “FAQ” which will be a sort of reoccurring press conference with the characters. They’ll answer various questions from the media, and yes, they’ll answer your questions as well. And finally, after that the “Sell-Out” section will be up, which I’m really excited about. Mark my words, it will have a catchy theme song. So please, continue to check back regularly. A new comic strip is added every Wednesday as well. We’ve had lots of new visitors to the site as of late, so we hope you enjoy your visit to the site. The content aside from the comic strips is all Flash based, so turn off your blockers if you have ‘em on, and if you’re visiting via an iPhone or iPod of sorts…from the bottom of my heart, I apologize for Steve Jobs’ hatred of all things Adobe.  I hope you’ll continue to come back again and again as the site continues to grow!

Thank you for stopping by,

~Matt
