Do you consider yourself to be Gen X? Do you associate the cartoons of your childhood with happy nostalgia? Did you wake up with manic glee early on Saturday morning to watch these cartoons, and then feel let down when noon hit and I Love Lucy began playing? Come to Meltdown Comics, where Steven Daily presents a plethora of contemporary artists’ re- imaginings and mind-edits of your FAVORITE ’80′s cartoons. You may even be able to take one of these treasures home, where it will NEVER turn into re-runs of Gilligan’s Island and Bewitched!

Also available online

Titmouse Vol. 1 is not a cartoon. It is also not a comic book, not a magazine, and it’s not a book–it’s a MOOK, a magazine-book. Like Sushi, MOOK is an addictive Japanese concept that will take the world by storm. It also goes great with saké, with a significantly lower risk of succumbing to the paralyzing effects of mercury poisoning.

We have assembled a team of weirdo artist-types to create this 100 page hardcover anthology and printed it in full color on fancy paper featuring comic strips, paintings, and interviews from some of the art world’s most interesting individuals. It’s 1/3 Heavy Metal, 1/3 Mad Magazine, 1/3 Juxtapoz, and 1/3 Ralph Bakshi film-on-paper, fancy paper. ****Titmouse vol. 1 is so revolutionary, it occupies 4/3rds the referential time and space of normal media.****

You might ask yourself or a friend, why cartoon company want make book? Chief editor and studio president, Chris Prynoski said, “I wanted to make this book, because I wanted to read a book like this, and that’s why I wanted to make it.” Art Director, Antonio Canobbio, is French–so you know the stuff in Titmouse Vol. 1 is real art!

Titmouse vol. 1 features artists of comic book and animation fame including:

Tommy Blacha
Freddy Christy
Dave Cooper
Steven Daily
Jacob Escobedo
Dave Fremont
Kaori Hamura
Paul Harmon
Dave Johnson
Kelsey Mann
Richard Mather
Travis Millard
Israel Sanchez
Jon Schnepp
Andy Suriano
Otto Tang
And a special drawing by one of our “Hollywood Neighbors.”

Titmouse vol. 1 is intended for the enjoyment of consenting adults. It is for mature audiences. Not like a porno, but like an 80s comedy.

Producer Carl Jones and T-Pain.
Adult Swim teams up with Carl Jones, the producer of the hit animated series “The Boondocks” and Grammy-winning recording artist T-Pain to debut Freaknik: The Musical March 7, 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Adult Swim.

Students from all over America once again descend on Atlanta to perform in Freaknik’s Battle of the Trillest.
Freaknik: The Musical is created and executive produced by Carl(Tubesteak) Jones and Nick Weidenfeld. T-Pain is also executive producer.
