As David and Julian grew older, they found ourselves departing from they childhood habits - namely, watching Saturday morning cartoons. This Saturday, the first three things they did when they woke up were:

Gone were the days of our stress-free, cartoon-watching lifestyle. So, we took it upon ourselves to bring a little more humor (in the form of cartoons) into our most common daily habits - namely, social media.

What doesn't it do? Actually, as of right now, it doesn't do much. Snap Toons (TM) currently has two main features: greyscale, and cartoonization. Users can either take a picture, or select one from their camera roll, and they will have the option to apply our two filters to it.

What we do know, is that we made lofty goals to use the Snap Kit API (Stories and Creative), in synergy with Microsoft Cognitive Services (Azure) to "cartoonize" friends when you took pictures of them, and allow for distribution to your entire friend group.

Being on the money half the time certainly trumps missing the money completely. Hitting .500 (without the help of Stanolozol, of course) will win the American League batting title every time. Picking winners in half of ones stock portfolio puts one on a par with the best in the field. I am therefore happy to see that half of the comic strips I selected several years ago for possible adaptation to animation actually made the cut. To the amazement of many who felt the strip to be too politically charged, Aaron McGruders Boondocks is on its way to a Nov. 6, 2005, premiere on Cartoon Networks adult block. The animation rights to Jerry Scott and Jim Borgmans syndicated strip Zits are, to the best of my knowledge, still in negotiation. Patrick McDonnells Mutts has still not been optioned as an animated property and Alison Bechdels alternative strip Dykes to Watch Out For likely never will be, mores the pity.

Lalo Alacaraz is a Los Angeles comedian and writer whose other talents include political cartooning. His work has appeared in the Boston Globe, the New York Times, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is also the cartoonist behind La Cucaracha, one of todays most controversial comic strips. Alcaraz subject is Latino life and culture, and his timing could not be better. Latinos are well on their way to becoming the nations largest and fastest-growing minority. Alcaraz is not universally popular among Chicanos, however, as he takes slaps at Hispanic pop culture, national politics and the difficulties encountered by a minority that has increasingly captured the public eye.

La Cucaracha has actually been running in alternative newspapers since 1992, but it was not until six years ago that Universal Syndicate picked it up for development. By 2002, Alcaraz had fleshed out his strip with a core cast of characters. Cuco Racha may best represent Alacaraz himself. Cuco is far to the political left and none too quiet about it. His best friend, Eddie, is a bit more centrist but mostly wants to enjoy life. The main cast also includes Eddies kid brother Neto, and Eddies girlfriend Vero. Neto is capable of many high-tech tricks (like so many comic and cartoon kids these days) and some sassy speech to boot. Vero is sometimes the conscience of the strip and is probably much brighter than either Cuco or Eddie. Through these characters are filtered the conundrums of racism, political power and the influence of an emerging culture. The process uses heavy doses of humor, sarcasm and, at times, pathos.

Alcaraz also uses, at times, stand-alone strips where he lets his sharpest barbs fly. One such strip depicts Vincente Fox, the president of Mexico, proudly standing in front of a post office boasting of how he has made Memin Pinguin stamps available to collectors; standing in line at the door is a row of hooded Klansmen. In another strip, How to Spot a Mexican Dad, the titular subject is revealed to be a slovenly couch potato. The deliberate stereotyping appears to be a parody of common prejudices. Alcaraz is somewhat comparable to Boondocks cartoonist McGruder, but Alcaraz insists that both he and La Cucaracha are actually much tamer. My number one goal is to show Latinos as normal people everyday people. says Alcaraz.

Note to animators: Alcaraz is a competent cartoonist but his poses are a bit stiff and there is a very two-dimensional feel to the strip. Animators will need to limber the characters up a bit and model sheets may be needed in order to get the proper turnaround on them. Apart from this, La Cucaracha should be easy and fun to animate. Watching the show could be even more fun; this would be a good strip for either a one-time special or a series.

Everyone loves a good, well-written sci-fi spoof, which is why cartoonist Tim Rickard once wrote a Star Wars send-up. This experience was so enjoyable that Rickard developed his own comic space saga. Brewster Rockit: Space Guy made the funny pages in July of 2004 and quickly gained a popular following among fans of Futurama and other sci-fi comedies. Brewster Rockit is somewhat reminiscent of the old Icebox toon, Starship Regulars. In that series, the enlisted help a bunch of ill-tempered slackers who are barely competent as people (let alone able crewmembers) constantly undermine the commanders of a starship similar to the USS Enterprise. In Brewster Rockit its hard to believe that even the commander knows what hes doing.

The strip runs in serial form, with storylines sometimes stretched out over a week or two. This suggests that Rickard could adapt some of them for animated episodes. Whether spiced up for a more adult audience or run as a conventional space comedy, Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! just might be a universal hit in cartoon form.

Eight years before Steve Hillenburg brought us SpongeBob SquarePants and long before Kenny the Shark, cartoonist Jim Toomey was helming an undersea comic strip filled with amusing characters cavorting in the tropical seas. Toomey mixes humor with subtle pro-environmental messages as we make a daily visit to the domicile of one Sherman Shark. Sherm is a sort of Everyshark married to an upscale, man-eating spouse named Megan; recently they have added baby Herman to the fold. Sherman hangs out with best bud Filmore, a studious sea turtle who is unhappily leading the single life.

Terry LaBan has experience drawing underground comix and has been working for years as an illustrator and cartoonist. At last glance, LaBan was developing his own animated series and pitching it to Nickelodeon, so its a good bet that he is aware of how to put together and pitch a cartoon show. That alone would bode well for having his comic strip make the jump to animated form.

Note to animators: Its not surprising that LaBan, who did illustrations for Nickelodeon magazine, wants to get into animation. His appealing characters already look as if they were designed for a cartoon series, and there is nary a stiff pose among them. The strip has a smooth, graphic feel that ought to make a breezy transition to the animated medium, and there wont be anything more difficult to do than come up with walk cycles. e24fc04721
