Fat-Pie
NEW
SLETTTERHey there 90s nibblers and early '00s baked-beansers. It's time to go back in time to a simpler age of mailing lists and newsletters. Who needs social media when you've got text in your inbox? –possibly your "social" inbox thanks to Gmail, which is just a fancy name for a segregated 2nd spam-bin, but I know my sexy Fatpipers love a good spam-bin. I know I do. Let's get this over with so you can go back to bed and lie down, aching like the smackheads you are. I feel like I've insulted you all enough. You know it's just banter. Just tough love. You've got to be cruel to be kind in this world. Cruelty aside, I'll get to the kindness:

Animation.You don't hear that very often. And you won't hear it now unless someone is dictating this to you. Probably that monotonous patronizing Google voice. OK Google... she needs a good virtual slap. If I could code, I'd code her a smack in the face. Enough waffle.

This one is actually fan-funded. Supported by Patreon. I mean I already made it before I set up the Patreon but otherwise I might have tried to sell it....because this took a year to make, and it's really hard to get paid for a year of animation work. Anyway I found a way to do it: it's crowdfunding and I am really shocked and surprised by how many people jumped in to support me on there <3 <3 <3. You can't sell 10 minute long animations. It just doesn't happen. Anyway I'll drop this link here so you can have a look and hopefully you'll see the benefits in jumping into my Patreon pool.

Post post amble (that bit after you said bye, when you bring up one last conversation point, extending the call by 15 more minutes)
My last point is that perhaps this is a new era for fat-pie. Away from even entertaining the idea that I might spread my work across other platforms - TV - VHS videos - The silver screen - it'd be too shiny to see what was playing I reckon. If Patreon continues to work out then I shall be doing everything I can to get back to a REGULAR RELEASE SCHEDULE. I even intend to start hiring people. I have spent the last 10 years attempting to branch out. It worked a bit and not all of those avenues have closed but what excites me right now is the idea that I could start putting regular animations out –short ones –like I used to, and be able to get by like that. I've opened up the Burnt Face Man documents. I've written a fuckton of new stuff and I have plans to revisit almost every series I have ever started. And this isn't some 90s reboot featuring wrinkly versions of all the faces you grew up with - this is continuation of things that never really left my mind. If I had some clones or drones I could make this happen quicker. Anyway I've left the oven on, the kettle's boiled, my Nan's here, my dog ate it and I have a dentist appointment so I've got to go.
Remember: The Fat-Pie newsletter is the part of the Bible god didn't want you to see. The Newer Testament. With all the DLC - like the Mormon expansion pack - but much sexier.
In a bit, Dogshit Tits.
