Thought I’d bring your attention to an artist and animator who definately deserves to be noticed. His name is Graham Annable, creator of Grickle. His work is somewhat reminiscent of broadsheet cartoon strips, but they all have a message or point to make, even if it’s just something really silly.
They WILL make you laugh! These two are my favourites:

In the game “Elejumper”, Ele is trying to do just that – by flinging himself to work with a massive ramp and roller-skates, see if you can get the flapping right to get him all the way there!
I dont really want to say much as it will spoil the surprise, it is slow to start, stick with it.
A twist on the drive-through rap, these two sing a folk song at a drive through.
But will they actually pay for their meal?
Oooh pretty! Check this piece of neat techy stuff out:
Exclusive to the new Star Trek 1-6 movie box set. Whoopi Goldberg interviews the captains of the USS Enterprise, to “boldly go” where no interview has gone before…
