Classic Facts: Week 17

The Soundac, featured in the book is inspired by Bleep’s workshop that was left nameless in the original series.

Both the saucer and the towered edifice serve as a laboratory for the colonel’s experiments and research.

What do you think of this change? Do you prefer the older comic book mock-up cover or the newer illustration?

A solar eclipse is coming tomorrow. It may be fun to see but not fun if your hometown is nearly attacked by ice demons. At least Bleep and his deputies had to deal with that.

In 2022, before Uncharted Earth was developed, I once made a post card featuring the classic spaceman himself for Club for the Future, in which the organization supplied impactful postcards made by students and launch them to space for a limited time.

Never have I thought that the card made with pencil and alcohol markers would come back two years later.

Special thanks to The Winston School for allowing us to participate in this short moment and to Club for the Future for giving Bleep a chance to visit space once again!

As the card says, the future is now!

Animation Progress Part 2

Here are a few completed clips for the test pilot. Due to having to accomplish so much work before summer comes, working on this pilot may take far longer than originally planned. The hope is that it should be completed sometime after May.
