-We get another cartoon fave back with Gravity Falls returning Friday, August 1st on Disney.
-LA Weekly's Liz Ohanesian goes over how weird the creator of Adult Swim's online only cartoon, King Star King, is.
"In the early days of production, Villard was still partying hard. There
were strip clubs and booze and drugs. He would come into the office
after long nights, recovering from a hangover, only to field questions
from the animators.""Some artists left during the course of production. Villard believes that at least two quit because of the content, although that can't be confirmed. Titmouse supervising producer Ben Kalina, who was with the series for 75 percent of its production schedule, says that a bigger problem for employee retention during his tenure was the unusual style of the show. King Star King is filled with fast-paced action. The first episode uses 400 shots, double the number normally employed in an 11-minute clip. Some animators were let go because they just couldn't keep up."
