The Best of FARToons – Volume 1

The best cartoons from the past thirteen years of FARToons Productions are now on DVD for the first time! This collection contains 22 of the most crude, relentless and offensive web toons in history. You will get the chance to sing perverted songs with Barney the Dinosaur, party with drunken meerkats and have a racist fish grant all of your darkest wishes! No one is safe so put on your toughest battle armor and prepare to defend all that you hold sacred. (96 Min.)

Episodes:

“Barney Commercials – Episodes #4-9″, “MacRuff the Crime Dog – Episodes #2-3″, “Harry &Terry Episodes – #1-2″, “The Wish Fish Family – Episodes #9-13″, “Ostrich, Hippo & Jesus on Grass – Episodes #1-4″, “Merely Meerkats – Episode #1″, “Liquor Goblin – Episode #1″, “A Great Day to be a Fish”

FARToons Productions is about to turn 13 years old on February 1st. It has not been the most successful endeavor in history. It has had its ups and downs. Its good years and bad years. Its shitty cartoons and its okay cartoons. But through it all, it has survived with me. I want to thank everyone who has supported FARToons over the years. Maybe one day, long after I’m dead, it will get the recognition it deserves. If only for the reason that it dared to do something different. Please share this on your Facebook if you love FARToons.

Thanks to all the fans. You all helped spread hate across the planet. I hope FARToons will continue offending people for years to come.

To celebrate twelve years of FARToons Productions I will be giving away twelve FREE DVD Samplers at Vintage Vinyl in the St. Louis Loop. Each DVD is forty-seven minutes long and includes such classics as Merely Meerkats, Harry & Terry, The Wish Fish Family and more! They are gonna go fast because people like to throw away free stuff! So hang around The Loop Friday afternoon and come say “hi”.

FARToons Productions 12th Anniversary!

I have teamed up with Happy Badger Studio to create a Merely Meerkats app for the iPhone. It is a game where you play as Ferdy trying to catch alcohol. Just watch out for poop and diapers. Get Ferdy good and drunk to try and get the high score. Sounds fun, right? I hope so because my friend is working hard on it. I, however, am doing pretty much nothing. Good deal.

As far as The Wish Fish Family Episode #10 goes, I haven’t worked on it since February. I am just not happy with it. I don’t know if I will finish it or not. I have taken a break from animation. A terrible idea I know, but I am just burnt out since Merely Meerkats did not get into the New York Television Festival. I’m not saying it deserved to, but I still worked hard on it and it bums me out. So anyway, if you want Wish Fish #10 you are gonna have to demand it.

Welcome to the new and improved FARToons 2.0! We are still putting the finishing touches on the ol’ web site. This includes the pages, layout and design. So you will be noticing a few changes as time goes on. Don’t worry, the changes will continue. It’s life.

My latest cartoon, The Wish Fish Family Episode #9, is now posted online. You can watch it below.

The Wish Fish Family – Episode #9 – “Eat Shit N’ Dine”

I also finished my short animated pilot Merely Meerkats, which I am posting below as well.

Merely Meerkats – Pilot Episode – “You Booze, You Lose”

So what comes next now that these two projects are now complete? I have no idea. I guess we will have to wait and see.
