My brother in law, Dan Hodgson, and his girlfriend Nicole came down from LA this weekend to hang out. Here are some photos I took.
 

There are certainly many ‘christmas’ styles involved with this episode. The ‘Crush’ sequence is in here and some other announcements that made this ‘loop’ very snowy.

I have gained respect for cartoonists yesterday. The work Charles Schulz did with ‘Peanuts’ was simple and yet something we all have remembered for so long. I had the unique pleasure of drawing ‘Charlie’ and doing a really quick animation for a Christmas teaser. It is called ‘Crush’.
