Craig, Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart For Creating This Cartoon, Which Has Become My Absolute

Craig, thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this cartoon, which has become my absolute favorite of your productions! It had me at first sight—or, well, watch—just like it happened with Hater and Dominator.

Wander Over Yonder has earned its place among my most beloved cartoons in no time and I can’t see many other shows surpassing it. Even though I really support the new focus that cartoons are taking today—deeper lore, emotionally captivating stories and characters, more realistic logic and character designs—, WOY stands out to me for being able to do emotions, character development and continuity while also bringing back that fun, laid-back, beautiful, all-over-the-place cartoony animation, pacing and all-around feel that I felt, admittedly, lacking in today’s shows (not that I hold that against them, as they weren’t trying to be what Wander is). Also worth mentioning the awesome and hilarious writing that left me smiling and laughing out loud alone for days, creeping out a lot of people around me.

You guys are the best, and I will always have fond memories of our favorite orange furry spoon fella, his trusty steed and best friend zbornak, the greatest electric skeleton man in the galaxy and his loyal and visionary right-hand man!

To you, sirs, a tip of my magical green hat.

Wander over Yonder over?

I’ve been seeing a lot of speculation lately on whether or not Wander will be returning for a 3rd season. Unfortunately, the answer is no.

About a year ago we presented a pitch for a season 3 arc that promised to bring our characters together in new, unexpected, and hilarious ways. And just as S2 evolved from S1, we had a really exciting approach to evolving S3 even further. We had plans for new characters, the return of old characters, and even a bit of backstory! We were all really excited about the new direction and so were our bosses at DisneyXD and TVA.

Unfortunately, the higher up bosses of bosses of bosses at Disney decided not to continue with the show. It’s not that they didn’t like Wander, they just felt that 2 seasons and 80 cartoons was enough and they didn’t see the need to produce any more.

For the record, this decision had nothing to do with the ratings performance of S2. Truth be told, we were informed that we wouldn’t be continuing before S2 even premiered.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the fans who spread the word about Wander and encouraged people to try and watch it on air.

I know this news is kind of a bummer, but the recent surge in fandom from My Fair Hatey along with our win at the Annie’s for Outstanding Children’s Series has really made me and the whole Wander team feel that we are ending on a high note!

So thanks, and as Wander says…

We gave it a go,

put on a heck of a show,

and did a lot of fun stuff we’ll get to laugh about after!

And for those keeping track we have 7 half hours left of S2 that will wrap up sometime in June. Thanks for watchin’ and wanderin’!

Craig

You really should. Mung lays down some awkwardly awesome rhymes about nutritional information and Gazpacho…well… Let’s just say he gives Lady Gaga a run for her money.

What is up with those Spot the Block commercials with Chowder? I’m having trouble sleeping after watching them…

I haven’t seen those.

🇺🇸 More random doodles. One day I was watching a thesis presentation in college with my class and one of my friends was barefoot. So there you go, realistic drawing training of that day. Plus a caricature of a teacher of mine. 🇧🇷 Mais rabiscos aleatórios. Um dia eu estava assistindo uma apresentação de TCC na faculdade com minha turma e um dos meus amigos estava descalço. Então aí está, o treinamento de desenho realista daquele dia. E uma caricatura de um professor. #sketch #esboço #doodle #rabisco #sketchbook #sketchbook4 #realisticdrawingtraining #realisticdrawing #figuredrawing #caricature #college #MmmMuitobomFezsozinho https://www.instagram.com/p/B7NIaT5J8Gl/?igshid=1tuvzjxvvr4fw

I’ve been on this cooky little series called Skins for just a handful of episodes now. Most of the characters and plots were fine by me ’til now, but I had this crick in my neck from the start… Let’s just say episode 7 just gave me a big, loud, satisfying snap.

Some designs from Ed, Edd n’ Eddy’s BIG PICTURE SHOW…from a sequence that never made it in: Jonny 2x4’s nightmare. Insomuch as I drew these, they are REALLY REALLY close to what RAVEN already drew in the board! She kicks ass is why!

@crackmccraigen! @suspendersofdisbelief! I uncovered a vestige of the Watchdogs’ enigmatic origins!

Here’s my piece for the “Yokai: Gegege No Kitaro”Art Show being displayed at Qpop2! The opening reception was pretty sweet. The gallery will be up until the end of March and my piece is available if anyone is interested. It’s called “Daddy Eyeball Dance.” It’s done in ink brush pen, markers and gel pen. It’s framed and ready to go to a new home!
