Hey everybody! Long time no see!

It's been about 5 months since I've had any real presence on Newgrounds - the last thing I made was The SRM Star Wars Holiday Special back in November. I also voiced in my buddy's spammy masterpiece Marshmallow Squad 5 as Satan. Anyway, it's about time I came back with an actual, factual cartoon to show you folks. I give you:

Pizza Waffles!

This cartoon has been a long time coming. I mentioned it in a news post back in October or something, since I was working on it for my storyboarding class as a final. My teacher absolutely loved it and said I should give it a go for my 2D animation class - so I did! This is my final for 2D animation, and it's my best cartoon to date. I flirted with frame by frame animation with the aforementioned The SRM Star Wars Holiday Special, but it was mostly bullshit - I didn't know a whole hell of a lot about frame by frame, and I was using a really lousy tablet to make it. Anyway, I took a comprehensive class on 2D and got a new tablet, so here we are! Over the course of making Pizza Waffles I ended up using 2 different computers, 3 different tablets, and 3 different operating systems, as Vista crapped out on me and for a while I couldn't get Flash to work with Windows 7. However, I'm absolutely ecstatic with how well it came out, and I hope you folks enjoy it too.

As for future cartoons, I dunno exactly what's going on. I'm brewing around ideas for a new SRM cartoon using some other characters I designed for a character design class. Meanwhile I've got a kind of parody superhero idea going on too. I'll see how it plays out. I'm going into my 6th semester of animation, so my free time is pretty nil. If I can work the cartoons I want to make into schoolwork, I'm killing two birds with one stone and I'm more likely to do it. The only thing I can say with any certainty is that I'm NOT going back to my old art/animation style, as it was pretty lifeless. As a result of this, don't expect to see an SRM Transformers 5 any time soon, for the 4 of you who still care. I made about half of it and didn't finish, since the script was way too wordy, the animation was too stiff, and I was just tired of the series.

Anyway, the following screenshot shows how I feel about completing Pizza Waffles:
