Cartoon Fever

Recently, I discovered a site called xtranormal.com which allows you to script out your own short cartoon movies. As of a few weeks ago the site was still free to use. The main limitations of the site are scene length, character movement, number of characters (2 max per scene), and the voice options for characters (robotic, and unable to deliver lines fluidly). Despite these drawbacks, I find the site to be quite remarkable and entertaining. If you have any desire to write, particulary in the sketch comedy realm, this site provides a great opportunity to work on your craft. You can have your skits acted out live, without that old annoying requirement of having "real friends", or even people who can stand to look at your face. Over the next few weeks I'll unveil various sketches. For the first sketch I present "Jesse Spano's Bad Day". This goes out to all of you Saved By The Bell fangirls and fanboys. Please enjoy.

P.S. This might be the first and last time I use the term "fanboy" in a post.
