Sometimes they can go on a bit, like the latest one, but they’re still great.

Eyebrowy might be Brendan Russell, Mick McGovern & Conor Cassidy, whoever they are. Nice one lads. Do you do all the voices and all? Coz they’re brilliant.

For more check out Eyebrowy.com or their YouTube thingy.

They even have a DVD… Christmas prezzie idea for someone maybe?

Here’s their latest:

And here’s one that made me laugh:

Who would have thunk it – that our very own Bob Byrne, creator of the people’s comic ‘The Shiznit’, distributed for free nationwide, would crumple under the pressures of our capitalist oppressors and sell his genius for pennies from the Man…?

Yes, it’s true. Textual.tv is now branded with the unmistakable iconography of Bob Byrne and is being advertised on the internet using Bob’s brand new animation talents…

Check out Bob’s first completed Flash animation:

I dread to think where Bob’s animation talents will take him once he throws off the shackles of commercialism…

This is one strong piece of work in just about every way..

Ah the hours I spent playing Super Mario… very badly I might add. However I was pretty good with Lego. Somebody had the decency to bring these two things together at last. This post is dedicated to Bob Byrne & Mr Amperduke.

Thanks to Green Ink for pointing me in the direction of the Moomins.

When he mentioned them in reference to my interest in animation, I thought they sounded familiar. I did a search on YouTube and found the above episode, and ineed they also looked familiar. But only in a vague fuzzy way.

And I wasn’t entirely sure that it was animation I remembered, which is entirely possibly because it seems they started life in print. Author Tove Jansson from Finland wrote Moomin books and comics , it seems, before they were turned into a series and a film.

Wherever I came across them, I think they stuck in my conscious somewhere as being just barely the right side of scary for whatever age I was.

As you can see from the above clip, they are fairly unconventional – is there anything this edgy around for kids at the moment? I’m a little out of touch, but Spongebob Squarepants is comparable I suppose… in that it’s enjoyable by adults as well as children, and tends toward the absurd – but let’s face it, Spongebob lacks a certain class that the Moomins have.

Or will people look back on Spongebob and think it’s got class when the media of the time has further increased in pace and crassness.

Anyway, enough rambling, enjoy the gentle insanity of the Moomins.
