Pay Attention in School!

August 10, 2011

This is the official announcement of the winner of the contest that I hatched and executed without buildup or fanfare on Sunday. The contest was to identify the guitar riff the kid was playing in my cartoon and to explain the irony of playing that particular riff while he wizzed on the toilet seat and [...]

The Reluctant Cat is Back and Not Happy About It

August 7, 2011

It is definitely time for another animated cartoon conceived and produced right here in The Fred Effect studios. Yes, there are more than one studio.

I can piss off a Metallica fan with only three words

July 6, 2011

I will hear a Godsmack song on the radio, and I’ll go, “Is this Metallica?” Then Tessa gets all severe with me. I used to do it with Nickelback, too, but I know all the Nickelback songs now. Puddle of Mudd still works. I know only one of their songs: “She Fuckin’ Hates Me.” Click [...]

Tessa’s Valentine

February 13, 2011

I think Tessa will like her Valentine video. This video features ZZ Top’s “Rough Boy.” It’s pretty rough– as it should be. At first, I was going to use only images of her and me. But Tessa has so many rough boys in her life that I included as many as I could find. We [...]

Who Gave Justin Beaver a Swirlie?

September 26, 2010
