Dang son,
I can't seem to get through sketchbooks
like I used to!
There are just too many
sooper secret projects
happening!
Hopefully I'll be able to tell you
about some of them soon!
In the meantime,
let's dial the
wayback machine
to early 2006
and
take a peeksie
through
this:
This was around the time
Head Writer of Wrongs
Andy Rheingold and I were
getting close to finishing up
writing stories for
season six of KND.
Yeah,
it was kind of stressful.
Back then I wasn't drawing much.
I was mainly beating out stories
over and over again
until the structure felt right.
Here's an early stab at
Operation: CARAMEL
Tick tick tick...
Here's an very early start to
Operation: GIRLFRIEND:
And here's a space sausage:
Before I even knew
Wow Wow Wubbzy
creator
Bob Boyle,
I already thought he
rocked:
True this:
A visit to Nickelodeon:
My heart gets all smooshy when I
find stuff like this in old
sketchbooks:
On the other hand,
I have
ABSOLUTELY
NO
POOPIN'
IDEA
what this
letter is in
reference to:
And yes,
this sketchbook was
powered by
Scramble Energy:
I love saving passages from books I like and
taping them into sketchbooks.
Not sure if this was before or after
OPERATION: NAUGHTY:
Billy Wilder rules the school:
I really liked reading
in
Shonen Jump.
And I still think this spread,
with all it's diverse characters,
is pure milk chocolate:
Before my iPhone,
this was how I kept track of things
I needed to do:
WTF?
Thor Bunny?
This
STILL
makes me
giggle:
And finally,
it's always a good idea to
write down things your kids say
because
ADORABLE:
And that's all I got for ya.
Wouldn't it be nice if I could show you a
NEWLY FINISHED
sketchbook
in the next 5 years?!
I'll work on it.

This is the first time I finally decided to check out posts made by the famous Mr. Warburton. Just from this, I've come to the conclusion that you're probably the coolest person ever.
It was truly your simple goal of just letting loose and having fun that made the KND such a great time for everyone.

Oh wow. Than you for sharing this. Sometimes I have a hard time with sketchbook work. I forget the sketchbook is a place to just let go and let stuff happen. Thank you for the inspiration. :)
Is one of your "sooper secret projects" a new show, and if so, is it a show that you actually CREATED? The only shows you seem to do nowadays are ones that you are an executive producer on. That's it.
Also, I hope that your new show will have some influence from anime like some of your sketchbook drawings, many of which have Japanese kanji symbols on!
Blasphemy! Your newly finished sketchbooks are nice, but I love all these old KND era ones! :D Reading all the extra notes and how episodes were cobbled together makes any day a way sooper cooler day! I like the stickers too, you can't find those anymore Dx Not even on the ebayz!
