The Velvet Mouse Show

[Boss Radio]

Hello people of LOT,

I have been absent for many months, working on an original project that is now (finally) ready for public viewing. It is called The Velvet Mouse Show, and is our heart-felt homage to the great Saturday Morning cartoons of our collective childhood.

We have created a destination site: http://www.velvetmouse.com/

If you go to the video section of the site, you will be able to view our 7:00 pilot episode in its entirety.

As the single smartest group of creative people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting (both virtually and in-person) I thought it only right that I share this very special preview with you, my oldest and newest friends and boon companions. And that goes for rest of you too.

And if you would be so kind, please "friend" us on Facebook.

Humbly yours (with dunce cap in hand),

Russell

Apparently, there is a robotic shark in an upcoming episode. (It makes a lovely downloadable wallpaper, as well!) Great work, Russell! Can't wait to see more.

(One element that was "missing" - the horrible canned laugh track! All of those old Saturday morning band/detective cartoons had it, and it was always embarrassingly bad.)

Which voice (or voices) were you?

[Boss Radio]

We're going to hold off on the laugh track...but there WILL be a mechanical shark...and we will name him Flippy Bruce, in your honor.

And for the record...I voice Donny Paradise and Jupiter James.

I will view when I get home. I went to your FB page and was able to "like" but not become a fan. Can we friend the page?

[Not Afraid]

It was not difficult for me to decide who is you and who is Pat.

[Kevy Baby]

Why does Jupiter James have spooge on his helmet?

It looks like fun and I will have to check it out when I can listen (which I can't do at work :()

Thank you!
And I think that FB has revised their nomenclature so you can only "like" a page that is not an actual person.

I love it! :snap:

Is it wrong that I'm kinda turned on by the mouses voice?

[Strangler Lewis]

Very, very, very, very awesome and fun.

[Kevy Baby]

Interesting sequence of posts:

Nice! I miss psychedelia. (Although, when I was very young, the big wide grinning mouth motif used to disturb me.)

[Boss Radio]

I miss it too. It was a very colorful time...which is why we are on a mission to bring it back.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Nice! I miss psychedelia. I can't help but post this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zol2MJf6XNE).
