Singalong with the Cats

Happy Hanukkah! I hope everybody is having a good and not-too-hectic holiday season.

This week Toullie and I made a music video episode we're calling 'A Cat's Song'.

In case you're wondering, Toullie is playing a Lanikai Soprano Ukulele and I'm playing a Hohner Marine Band Deluxe Harmonica. (The Deluxe is a lot like a regular Marine Band but it's easier to bend notes with.)

By the way, Toullie says the website should display more correctly now when using Internet Explorer. Even so, Firefox is still our preferred browser.

Happy Birthday Sister!

Sergeant and Toullie celebrate Sister's special day in the obviously titled Episode 37 - 'Birthday'.

We're working on some original Brudders T-Shirt designs. More to come.

Twinkle, twinkle...

Brudders Episode 36 - 'Star' is up. No 3D glasses needed to read this comic strip, not even a telescope.

- Sgt M.

Gasp! Gothtober again!

Today the brudders go back to where they made their Hollywood debut: Gothtober! If you didn't already know, Hello Frankenstein first appeared at Gothtober, a terrific annual Halloween themed art exhibition. That was four years ago, and now Sergeant and Toullie return with episode 35 - 'Drive-in Movie'. To read this strip, go to www.gothtober.com and click on the number 8. (Note: Being an old blog entry, that link will now take you to the latest round of Gothtober treats--in other words, you won't find this episode of Brudders there. You can read still read the strip on the Little Green Dog website though: Brudders - Episode 35 'Drive-in Movie'.)

And bring your 3D glasses. You're going to need them because this comic was an experiment in anaglyphic drawing, which means, with the proper glasses (the red/cyan kind,) you will see Sergeant and Toullie leap off your computer screen.

Don't know where to get 3D glasses? You can use the pair that comes with some 3D DVD's like the recent Coraline release, or even better you can purchase a deluxe pair for a reasonable price from vendors like Rainbow Symphony Store. Alisa and Greenlaw wear glasses so they like Rainbow Symphony's Proview Professional Clip-On, but Toullie and I prefer the stylish Proview Professional, which is comfy and excellent if you don't already wear glasses. Either model sells for $6.95. Rainbow Symphony Store also carries the traditional paper ones for as little as 15 cents a piece. (No, they didn't pay us for this plug. We just like their stuff.)

If you enjoy this 3D episode of Brudders, let us know and we'll make more 3D comics and art.

Oh, and while you're there, be sure to check out some horrific treats by other Gothtober artists...if you dare!

Thirsty for a new Brudders? You're in luck because Episode 32 - 'Milk' just got uploaded.

You may have noticed that the website got a new look this week. We've also been busy writing and designing more content (in addition to the usual Brudders and Streams episodes,) and we are testing new technology that will help us create animated shorts more quickly.

The juicy details will be revealed in a new members-only section of the Little Green Dog discussion forums called The Studio. This new forum is the place where you can chat directly with the artists Greenlaw and Loren, and see what really goes on behind the scenes.

Pardon our dust

Today, Toullie is going to be working on the website again, so if things look weird, clear your browser cache and hit the Refresh button.

Update! Okay, all done. We've given the site a new look, so don't forget to clear your browser cache.

Toullie thinks it's a bit cleaner now, and certainly it's more colorful. Toullie has been busy learning CSS, and he eventually wants overhaul the site from the ground up, but this will do for now.

Do you like it? Let us know what you think.

Nisei Week

Last summer, Toullie and I took lessons from Yoki Daiko, the excellent Taiko drumming group.

This week, in observance of Nisei Week here in Los Angeles, we present the special Taiko episode of Brudders (Episode 31- 'Renshu'.)

Downtime

Just so you know, Toullie is working on the website today and some pages may be breaking. He says things should be good by this evening. (Update: Toullie is done for now. If things look weird, clear your browser cache or hit the refresh button.)

Sadly, we may not have a new episode of Brudders posted this weekend. Brudders will definitely be back next weekend, and there should be a new Streams too.

Hungry?

It's time to serve up a new episode of Brudders. Fresh from the oven is Episode 27 - 'Food Chain'.

Mm, mm, good!

- Sgt M.

Abra-cat-dabra

Your eyes do not deceive you. Brudders may have disappeared for a couple of weeks but it's back now with Episode 26 - 'Pet Tricks'.

Two new paintings have been entered in the Gallery. These images were sketched using a handheld Nintendo DS Lite and a homebrew paint program called Colors! If you've visited Doodle Du Jour in the past year, then you already know that the Nintendo is Greenlaw's favorite sketching device. "It's like a Cintiq that fits in your pocket."
