OMG!!! There's a ..COW ON THE ROOF!!!!!!
Our very own production company, we figured eventually we would need it to help our push in funding our little cartoon we got here, or even our pitch to studios or networks. With "Cow on the Roof productions" we hope to create original animated productions like "Crackerland" to continue the great American art form of animation.

Ok, Why Cow on the Roof? For years we pull the same corny joke that amuses nobody but ourselves, I guess. Down the road from Lavalle's place on Bumby Ave ( yes that Bumby) sits a cow high on the roof of the T.G. Lee Milk factory.. when driving past it, with a passenger who is unaware of said cow, I scream in mock amazement & point wildly " there's a cow on the roof" the passenger might look up & catch a glimpse of the cow as I speed by, none the wiser i exclaim that they have a live cow on the roof.. among various stories over the years. Only Lavalle has seen to continued the same joke to his family & friends. So i think its natural name for our " Animated" projects :)

Kaley Sketching Sketches.
Kaley artistic side is strong personality trait. I think she has ambition to be artist or animator, always with a sketchbook in her hand. I think its kinda unique to have animated character who wants to be animator. She is the character that keeps the craziness in check.

NASA Sent Bumby the Manatee into Space!!!
Hey everyone! A few weeks back I saw advertisements from NASA on sending your name and picture into outer space! I thought this would be a great way to immortalize Bumby the Manatee! So I entered Bumby and NASA accepted him! I think he might be even the first cartoon character to be sent into space this way! Here is the certificate NASA gave me proving that Bumby is in SPACE!!
