[2001-01-12] DotComix's BIRTHDAY PARTY is one of my favorite Webtoons. The Webisode entitled "Smelly Kid" is one of the best. Mr. Binkles and Mr. Tinkles take a job working the smelly kid's birthday party. We slowly find out why Binkles has a special feeling for odoriferous children. It's that simple well-timed unveiling of information that makes the installment so good. Each line gets closer to the truth and adds to the humor. This toon is for all whom want to see great voice work, direction and writing all wrapped into one show.

[2000-12-01] With the presidential fiasco still going on in the U.S., we can sit back and bask in the humor of DUKE 2000. If we knew what was going to happen before the election, maybe the former ambassador from the Doonesbury comic strip would have been the best choice for president. His campaign address on 11/2/00 entitled, "Drivetime Duke" was the best installment of the series. Duke actually gets interviewed on WGN-Chicago's morning news show, reporting from the highway where his 14-year-old son has wrecked their tour truck. The interaction between the animated Duke and the live-action reporters is great. The whole toon really works as a satire of the presidential candidates. Plus, it's just darn funny. If you're fed up with politics, check it out on Entertaindom or Dotcomix!

[2000-10-20] In doing the Web Animation Guide, I've seen a lot of Webtoons, however, BIRTHDAY PARTY's "Puppeteers' Hand Job" is by far my favorite Webisode of any series. When I introduce my friends to Internet animation this is the toon I show them. The writing is brilliant and the timing is dead on. This Webisode is so witty, smart and edgy that it amazes me every time I watch it. This toon is everything that the Internet could and should be. Congrats Dotcomix!
