Catch up to speed.

So, the purpose of this blog is to show the progress of my cartoon. However, I have actually been working on it for a while so I need to catch this blog up to the present. I needed a good brain storming partner to get this thing going, so I called my buddy Willy. He came over to my house and for some inspiration he grabbed a beer and I a glass of wine. When things started to get silly the ideas started pouring out. We didn't limit ourselves in any way and that led to some bizarre stuff. We came up with the premise for a show about three room mates. A chimp named Wayne, who was raised in a lab where tests were done that excelerated his brain capacity. When he could think, speak and act like the scientists (even performing his own tests), he filed for emancipation from his scientist guardians and took with him his own pet experiment: Rat, a rat the size of a human child, with about the same mental capabilities. Wayne's own tests on Rat's growth hormones made him that size, but his efforts on Rat's brain weren't as successful as the scientist's on his own. The two of them rented a duplex and put an ad in the paper for a 3rd room mate to save on bills. This ad was answered by Jim, a student at the local community college.
