      Congratulations John!! So glad you were able to meet your goal - and exceed it! I'm really looking forward to seeing 'Cans,' as well as the bonus features ( a drawing lesson with Jim Smith would be really cool). I know you didn't get quite enough funding for it this time, but I'm hoping in the future you'll be able to make the Sody Pop cartoon '2 dirty pussies.' The concept is really funny :)

      Creator Carmine Castronuova on August 17, 2012

      You're VERY welcome! We all love you and your work so much John, and a new cartoon from you is worth paying for :). I wish I could have given more, maybe the next one I'll be in a better position to be one of the big spenders here.

      Maybe after a few successful shorts, you could kickstart a whole fuckin feature! The animation world would never be the same after that!

      Now make this damn cartoon, do it your way, go all out, you earned it!
