Re-runs???

Did today’s cartoon look familiar?

Well, that’s because a run of cartoons poking fun at Star Wars: Episode I were among the very first cartoons that I posted on this site back in mid-2008.

So what is a cartoon from 2008 doing on the site today?

Well, with the recent arrival of twins here in the Edelglass household, I needed a little bit of extra time to put together the next batch of new cartoons.  Since the next movie that we’ll be poking fun at is none other than Star Wars: Episode II, I thought it would make sense to revisit those Episode I cartoons, rather than having NO cartoons at all up on the site for the next few weeks.

But it’s not just old business here at MotionPicturesComics.com.  Because I can’t just leave well enough alone, I’ve gone back into most of those old Episode I cartoons to fix up various artistic errors that were bugging me, so these strips look a lot better, I think, than they did originally.  Additionally, I’ve created about 8-10 BRAND NEW Episode I cartoons that will be interspersed with the old ones in the coming weeks.  (There’s no shortage of stuff in Episode I to make fun of, after all!)  So think of this run of cartoons as my SPECIAL EDITION of Star Wars: Episode I.  (I promise, 10-year-old Greedo does not shoot first.)

Despite this slight lull in new comics, my regular schedule of blogs will continue unabated over the coming weeks.  (There will actually be several weeks coming up with even MORE blogs than usual, four-to-five per week instead of my usual three!)  I have a nice back-log of movie reviews to share with you all, and the series of guest-blogs (introduced yesterday) in which various authors will write about their very favorite movie of all time begins tomorrow.

I’ll see you there!
