Chester, untuck your lip: Pugtastic Saturday!

So there's going to be a pug puppet. I think it's mostly because I like saying "PUG PUPPET" Go on, say it, it's super super fun to say. PUG PUPPET!

Also, Pugs are expensive & dumb & funny as all hell. Here are my 4 favourite pug videos:
 


How much fun will it be to make my Pug Puppet do that action?



This video makes me weep with laughter, everytime I see it. Srsly. I have been trying to cut this to music, but I'm having a super hard time with my video editing software. The Music I want to use is by An Albatross They have the number 23 (More about this later) in their myspack URL. Which is awesome. If you know their music, you will probs guess which track I want to use.



I like this video because it highlights two great things about pugs: The stupid noises they make & the amount of stupid they have, make & do!



Pugs make dumb noises. They are funny, I've been practicing making those weird creaky sounds, but they always turn into snuffly pig noises (Not because I can't, but because I LOVE making snuffly pig noises, it's fun.) Also, there used to be a dog that lived in one of the houses near mine who would come into our yard and play with me & the cat. I called him Pigdog as when he got excited (Which was every two seconds.) he made that noise. I heard him being called by his owner once & found out his name was "Beckham". Oh My Days. I think Pigdog was infact a kinder name.

If you don't know the noise I'm talking about, imagine a cross between a truffle pig & Willie The Weasle:



Here is the first sketch of the Pug Puppet:


There's a couple of things about this page I will mention: you can see on the left me working through names for the guys. I wanted the dog to have a super long name My cats full name is Charlie Kingston Carwash Fonzerelli III. (I could explain why, but it's not that important right now.) But as this is a pop/geek culture show it made sense to me to name him after someone, I was debating Billy Dee Williams:
 
This picture tells you why. Lando can double cross me ANYTIME.

Here is is in the trailer for Fanboys playing a Judge called Judge Reinhold also, it's an excuse to look at Jay Baruchel (Dressed as Darth Vader does something I probably shouldn't admit to.) again...(Also it's an amazingly funny film.):


But there will be quite enough Star` Wars references. You should be able to see, at the bottom of the page, the name "Julius Cassius III" Which should actually be Julius J. Carry III .Who in the Zombie Hookers From Hell is he when he's at home, or anywhere else he may choose to be?" I hear you ask? He played SHO 'NUFF: THE SHOGAN ASSASIN in Berry's Gordy's The Last Dragon.

 
This is the best film you will ever see.
Here is Sho 'Nuff in action:



Hey Kayne, you DID NOT do these glasses first, or bestest!

Here are a ton of pictures, because he is just super dope:

 
He is not a gay fish, no siree. KISS HIS CONVERSE!

Being a Berry Gordy production, the music in this film is incredible. The Stevie Wonder track "Upset Stomach" is  always on my mp3 player. But it's this song (Below) by VANITY that really does it for me:


This video WILL be featured on the show. Mainly because it is dope. There is so much I could say about Vanity, Sho 'Nuff & The Last Dragon, but I'd really just say: watch it & have a read about these guys. I wish Prince would give me a new name...

Back to Pugs.

I can't really mention them without talking about Natalie Dee. She wanted pugs, then she got pugs, when she isn't drawing comics about Anal Bleaching:

(This comic makes me do the kind of laugh that makes a little bit of wee come out.)

Natalie Dee does a comic everyday, make sure you read them. I could've posted SO many more, but these ones sort of cover the Pug behavior I'm after.

He is going to dance at the end of each episode & not turn up much more than that. He is going to be based on two things. Firstly the puppets from The Young Ones:


Special Patrol Group: I Heart You.

And Gir From Invader Zim:


The Gir thing is especialy usefully as everytime I draw pugs it looks like something else in a pug costune, I'm thinking about putting this into the design of the Pug Puppet. Pugs look awesome in costumes.

He is sad because he is wearing a red shirt. He Gonna Die.

I Like how Batman Pug looks like he's fartin & REALLY enjoying it.

This picture was labled "Star Trek Pug" Is it ok that makes me want to kill? It is? Fanks!

One more Natalie Dee (Because I love her comics SO fucking much:

Canadians are Awesome: What my little guys are going to look like.

So I haven't posted for a couple of weeks due to moving house, this sucks as it means I'm miles away from anywhere, but rules as the few things I am near are far more condusive toactually making this thing instead of the endless pages of scripts & writing I've been doing. Or calling everything reserch, when really I'm just googling places to buy Star Wars curtains.

Pretty much the first thing I put to paper was this:


Having drawn them, the idea being they should look like the comic characters I had previously drawn, but some how they came out looking like Canadians from the South Park Universe.



I'm kind of happy with this as Canadians are awesome. Here are some of my Favourites:


A Ghostbuster & a Blues Brother? You sir are Awesome.

He also makes wine. I could go on & on but I won't, we have a list to get through.


 Yes he is fictional, no I don't care.

Leslie Nielsen




Danny Antonucci

The Creator of Ed, Edd & Eddy

Be proud Canada, be damn Proud!

Jay Baruchel



Not only an ace actor & super proud Canadian, but I would climb over Anderson to get to him *swoon*

Here he is being super posi about his home town:


(I also recommend the Trotsky, here also is all of Undeclared on teh tube. Watch it. It's funny.)

Creator of this, dude changed my life <3 

John Franklin Candy 

 
Dude, you are still missed in my book. But thanks.

 

There are plenty of others including Shatner, Cree Summer, Tara Strong, Phill Hartnell, The inventors of Trivial Pursuit, Mike Myers, Seth Rogan but I ran out of patience, time for bands:
I really wish I could found ANY of their videos.

Again, a bijillion more I coud name, Japandroids & Vovoid spring stright to mind... But that's quite enough for on. Back on course. Saturday I went to my favourite haberdasher/material shop, Anglia Fashion Fabrics. It's just magical & the ladies who work there are all just superstars. Most of my little fella's clothes will be made from dolls clothes & my scrap bag, apart from the girl cardy, which I've started knitting. So all I really needed were the eyes & some felt to play around with. I've choosen dark pink for the girls skin as I want them to have dark brown hair (Yeah for old hair extensions...). I've got the nose for my dog puppet (More on that later) & a bell for his collar. Here is a picture of what I bought!

 

Honestly it's made me pretty excited. Hehe! I have also picked out names for my guys: I believe they will be Called POPPY & HUTCH, they are both names I've used before in short stories & they seemed to work well. If you can read my scrawlings around the top of the pictures, you will see the have personalities set out & there's also the phrase that will be the title of my show, but more on that later.
