The Simpsons/FAMILY GUY Crossover...? "The FORCE" is Strong in DANVILLE...?

For REAL...?

Simpsons/Griffins slated for 'Duel to the Death' on "Phineas & Ferb"...?

An unimaginable event is occurring. Actually, TWO unbelievable crossovers are happening. BOTH have a connection to DAN POVENMIRE, one of the co-creators of Disney's PHINEAS & FERB.

In a never-to-be-fathomed happening, two of FOX Television Animation's biggest, longest-running, and most-popular shows are having an epic cross-over: "FAMILY GUY" stars The Griffin Family will visit Springfield to meet "The Simpsons". 

Plus, an ALSO barely-imagined merging will take place: "PHINEAS & FERB" will join with "The Force" in a STAR WARS cross-over. (If I were still a 20-year-old fanboy, my head would explode!) 

Ironically, DAN POVENMIRE once worked on BOTH "The Simpsons" AND "FAMILY GUY"...!
Read the PHINEAS and FERB article over at Animation Magazine , and about the GRIFFINS/SIMPSONS 'Battle Royale'.

WOW.

New Link!

I've just added a nifty permanent link to a cool cartoon/comics-related blog by renowned comic and storyboard artist Sherm Cohen. The blog features cartoon, comic and storyboard info, as well as classic comic art and animation gems.

See it Here!

Mr. Cohen is an animation veteran, with a resume including "Hey, Arnold!", "The Simpsons", "Spongebob Squarepants", "Phineas & Ferb", and the new "Kick Buttowski". I will soon be picking up tips from him via his "Storyboard Elements" dvd & handouts.

Pretty funny take-off of the opening segment from The Simpsons:

"The SIMPSONS" Picked Up, Will Run For Two More Years

The Simpsons, already the longest-running animated series in television history, will become the longest-running prime-time television series after it was announced that the show has been extended.
