Ian Andersen is a student cartoonist from Houston

Drawn by me in 2007, colored by Ben Anders very recently. His colors are pretty groovy, but man, I’m just not sure about my old linework.

Greg was the first fan kind enough to make a guest strip! It was really cool to get a strip from a fan. I’ve never solicited you guys before and I wasn’t sure I would get anything back, but Greg came through on the first day! Thanks for the strip Greg!

This is it, the definitive end to Big Pants Mouse. I saved Jerry‘s masterpiece as the final final final Big Pants. Why? Because it’s all there. Like us all, Jerry has always had a soft spot in his heart for this little mouse, but unlike the rest of us, Jerry’s heart is quite different.

Jerry is an amazing artist. You have seen his work and you didn’t even know it!

My friend Tony introduced Jerry to me at a Carl’s Jr. in ’99. Tony wanted me to put in a good word for Jerry at Spumco. He was amazing, and we hired him for his flash expertise, but unbeknownst to me, I already “knew” Jerry.

See, some of us guys at Spumco had this contest called the “Ace Card”. We would find the nastiest filthiest videos online and share them as our “ace card”. Tony always seemed to have a HUGE amount of videos and would usually always win. But those times changed when Jerry started at Spumco. Jerry was Tony’s secret supplier of depravity. If I would have known this, I would have told our boss that we needed to hire Jerry on his filth finding abilities alone!

Since then, I think I’ve worked with Jerry on every flash project I’ve done, including the Big Pants Mouse pilot at Disney. He is an amazing art director, bg designer, painter, animator, and all around great guy. Thanks for the final word Jerry, you put the final nail in Big Pant’s coffin.

Thank you all for all the support over the years. Here’s to the end of Big Pants and the start of Life In The Analog Age next week!

So, I made the above silly picture of me and some chicken livers into my Facebook profile pic last week, and  some friends seemed to take notice. I thought I’d posted far stupider-looking pics of myself than that, but for whatever reason, this one got some extra attention. Here are some interpretations that some of my facebook friends drew.

Lee Yager kicked it off with this one.

Later, soon-to-be helperton Scotty Arsenault contributed this little number.

Helperton alum Kristen Bailey brought this to the universe.

And last but not least, this one was brought to us by Abbey Baxter.

Thanks, everyone who decided to draw my goofy mug!

Will Patrick is a super talented animator and the self-proclaimed “King of Anime,” but no one is sure what that means exactly. You can see more of his work on his blog or at his website.

Thanks Will!
