Before I even say another word:

Check out the new Jim and Pals!

Okay, I'll try to keep my explanation as brief as possible, but basically here's what happened with Jim:

Roughly 10 months ago (A little while after Jim and Pals 9 came out), I sent out personal messages to several members of the Newgrounds community, inviting them to participate in a collaboration, specifically the Jim and Pals 10 collaboration. I actually got a pretty good response, and the collab was set to have 6 or 7 participants. Sadly though, as time passed interest and participation fell to schoolwork and only 2 of the 7 candidates actually finished their parts, and as of early July, it was cancelled.

So I, feeling slightly down about all this, decided it was time instead to start up on a different project, namely Fizz. Fizz took me a couple months working on and off to complete (I work slow, okay?), hence the mid-July release. Since Fizz was a pretty big success (at least by my standards), I immediately got to work on part 2, sadly I wasn't able to get all the lines in until early September, which was right when I was starting school and resuming work. Then throughout September I was really only able to make one quick cartoon.

October was then spent on another cartoon, which took literally from October 1st to October 30th to complete, partly because of waiting for drawings, partly because of problems with flash and the filesize, all that good stuff. So that was another Jimless month.

When November rolled around my teacher began piling on assignments, all of which were also animation related, so I had to turn my focus towards schoolwork. At the end of November however, I began putting together a Christmas animation, which ended up taking roughly all of December when combined with doing finals and wrapping up projects. I actually completed it on December 23rd. Which brings us to January, which has basically been spent starting new school projects.

I don't want it to sound like I'm just making up excuses, hell if I wanted I could make a Jim and Pals every day, the point of this though is that I haven't forgotten about Jim, I've just been doing other things. I've gotten several PM's from people telling me they thought the Jim series was over, and that's not true by any means, I am going to continue Jim and Pals as long as I keep coming up with ideas.

It's weird that I have so few cartoons posted for 2009, because 2009-2010 is probably the most I've ever been producing content. I have several school projects I've done...

A Public Service Announcement:

A Special Effects Test Meteor:

A Crappy Hand-Drawn Animation

I have a webcomic, that I update 3 times a week...

Me and my friends are doing a podcast about our webcomics.

So yeah, I'm a busy bee, but Jim and Pals had to pushed to the wayside because of it, I'd definitely like to do more cartoons this year though now that I have a bit more free time. So we'll see what happens.

P.S. Fizz 2 is still a thing, I don't have a release date though.
