Canadian cartoonist Troy Little burst onto the scene about 10 years back with his series Chiarscuro<\/em>, a one-man-band type effort heavily inspired by the self publishing efforts of fellow Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim, creator of Cerebus<\/em>. While that series did fade away after 7 or 8 issues, it was eventually completed and collected by… IDW of all places. I’ve mentioned it here before, but IDW have quietly been publishing a series of creator owned graphic novels, often in hardcover. They’ve done maybe a half-dozen of them now, with some of the nicest production values in comics… And almost all of them have flown under the radar of most folks I’ve talked to, which is a shame.<\/p>\n

IDW was also the home of Little’s next project, a ‘quirky’ graphic novel called Angora Napkin<\/em>. Not quite for kids but not quite for adults, heavily influenced by the animation of Tex Avery and John K., it was released in the same month as probably 300 other graphic novels (and probably 20 of them were from IDW) and that’s the way it goes sometimes. But now? Now the core concept behind the graphic novel is an animated series<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Actually, it’s a pilot for an animated series that might run on Teletoon, Canada’s answer to The Cartoon Network. Hell, it might eventually run on Cartoon Network too.<\/p>\n

IF you check it out, and like it, and vote for it. How? Well first head over to the Teletoon website and view the complete pilot: http:\/\/www.teletoon.com\/teletoon3\/detour.php?language=En&func=php|\/misc\/detourPilotProject\/pilotProject.php|0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then follow the instructions there to vote for Angora Napkin (click the little thumbs-up next to their name)… or any of the other series that catch your fancy of course. Commenting probably couldn’t hurt either. Do this and you can help make the dreams of a small-town Canadian cartoonist a reality!<\/p>\n

The Angora Napkin graphic novel is in better comic stores everywhere now, courtesy of Troy Little and IDW.<\/em><\/p>\n
