HEATHER GETS SOME PRESS! MLaaTR's storyboard artist, Heather Martinez (who just pitched a great new third season episode yesterday called "Agent Double-O Sheldon") caught some press in a Cal State Fullerton alumni newsletter. You can read it at: www.titanmag.com/2005/animation/p3.html

 

FAN ART! Glen Wang is the culprit this time, mixing shows and genres to create a female force to be reckoned with.  

UH OH!  

FAN ART! XJ-Kenny sent in this comic strip and stamp set in one. I'd love to get my hands on some real stamps that looked like that!  

Remember a brand new episode airs today at 6:00 PM !(Check your local listings.) 

BRAD DIFFERENCES. Here are the differences Alex intended! 

SPOT THE DIFFERENCES! Each season, art director extrordinaire Alex Kirwan decides to polish the character design a little. Can you spot the subtle differences between the old Brad from first season (on the left) and the new Brad from second season? 

The amazing and barely relevant fact of the day. Why is this stamp like XJ9 doing a handstand? Because they are both Inverted Jennys. Okay, so postage stamp jokes aren't funny, but this is perhaps the most famous stamp mistake in U.S. history and it IS called an Inverted Jenny and that is sort of interesting and I certainly don't see any of you trying to post something new about Teenage Robot day after day after day after day!!!! So there! (P.S. Don't forget there's a brand new episode this Thursday night!)

FAN ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel Egan, a self-professed big fan of the show, sent in this picture of one of my favorite villains, Himcules.
 

FAN COMIC! Not just fan art, but an entire fan comic shows that you guys aren't the only one excited about the upcoming one-hour special... Jenny is just as excited. And who knew she had a tongue? 

SWEET OR CREEPY - YOU DECIDE!!! Z-Lady (Zoe) sent in this adorable, yet oddly disturbing image of baby Jen and baby Sheldon sleeping together.  

ESCAPE AIRS AUGUST 13TH! The one-hour, action-packed, prime-time special, "Escape From Cluster Prime" will air in less than two months, on Saturday, August 13th. Let the countdown begin! 

COLORING CHAMPION! May I present the winning entry of the "Color Tuck's Naked Butt" Contest! Long time blog fan Candy Robot submitted this rosy-cheeked Tuck and surprised Jenny in a word balloon... although I'm not sure who is saying the word balloon. I'm just glad the word balloon arrow is pointing away from Tuck's behind.  

JENNY AT COMICON!!! This July at the world famous Comicon in San Diego, Nickelodeon will be giving fans a sneak peak at Jenny's first hour-long adventure "Escape from Cluster Prime." And exclusive posters will be passed out for free after the trailer screening... with Rob Renzetti and Alex Kirwan on hand to sign them!!!! Sunday July 17th. Make your plans now! 

JENNY IS BACK!!!!!!!! In less than two weeks, a brand new episode of Teenage Robot will air. The stories "Crash Pad Crash" and "A Pain in my Sidekick" air on June 23 as part of the Nick grab bag premieres week. Mark your calendars. Cancel your vacation plans. Set your VCRs. Milk your barnyard animals. Jenny is coming!!!

STORYBOARD SIDE BY SIDE. MLaaTR storyboard artist Heather Martinez put together this side-by-side comparison of some of her original board drawings with the finished images from the actual show for a presentation she gave recently. You may recognize these from the poorly named Pajama Party Prankapalooza. 

STORYBOARD SIDE BY SIDE 

STORYBOARD SIDE BY SIDE 

FAN ART! XJKenny sends us this Anime inspired version of the MLaaTR characters... although I also detect a little bit of "Teenage Robot Babies" in this one. Maybe if you cross Teenage Robot with Rugrats. Teenage Rats? Rug Robots? 

NICKELODEON HOTEL OPENS! The Nickelodeon-themed hotel in Orlando Florida has opened its doors and contrary to earlier press releases, Jenny is there! As you can see from this shot of the kid's play area, Jenny is there in all her glory. Hoo hah! 

NINTENDO TEENAGE ROBOTS? I found this CD on Ebay while searching for Teenage Robot swag. Apparently it's full of music composed on a Nintendo gameboy. I can appreciate the effort but that's gotta be the worst picture of Jenny I've ever seen.

WHO'S HUNGRY FOR MORE TEENAGE ROBOT?!? In a third season episode entitled "I Fought the Law," Jenny confronts bio-engineered food with a mind of its own. Pictured here in a company pamphlet, the intelligent food seems harmless... but is it?!?!?!? 

PRINCESS BRITTANY. Well, we had our Tiff crossover fan art last week, so why not Brit this week? Zoe gives us this MLaaTR/Sailor Moon combo.
