GALACTIC KIDS NEXT DOOR RULES!


WOW!

I mean,
RIGHT?!

What a
crazy
fun
time-consuming
emotional
exciting
action-packed
exhilarating
sooper
double
quintuple
ninjas hiding in your attic
amazing
experiment!

It was never a 
'prank'.

It was a
love letter
to the
THOUSANDS
of operatives
we knew were out there.

Waiting.
Preparing.
Biding their time
for when 
the 
KND
called.

And you came running.
(no matter how old you are now)

We're sorry we didn't have
sooper exciting news.
Things didn't go exactly as planned
<cough> leaked video <cough>
and the hype train 
kinda rode off the rails.

But that was totally part of the fun,
wasn't it?

It's a great story how this all went down.
And after things settle down a bit
I'll tell you how it happened.

But what should 
we do in the meantime?

Don't stop.

Recommission everyone.

Tell everyone about the
g:KND.

That's what we're doing.
And who knows 
what'll happen.

Here's to all the KND
operatives on
Earth...

and beyond:

WHAT IS NUMBUH VINE UP TO?



Someone named

But

coming over

PLATYPUS POLICE SQUAD


My kids forget.

So I have to remind them 
that I'm
awesome
ALL THE TIME!

Sometimes I remind the boys by
asking sooper pals like
sooper author
if he can sign a copy of his 
latest book
to them.

And because he's 
awesome
I got this in the mail:


You probably know 
Mr. Krosoczka
from this book:


And these books:


But now he's doing these:


 And now we've
got a signed edition:


It's filled with 
Jarrett's sooner fun
illustrations:




He even wrote the boys a 
special note on a special
postcard:


Thanks for reminding 'em,
Mr. Krosoczka!
Can't wait to read it!

You rock!

MY SEARCH FOR CATBUG


Remember when I did that
illustration for this:


I told you a little about it over
but if you're too lazy to click
I'll give you the quick version:

It's an
awesome
Where's Waldo-style book
that a whole bunch of
awesome illustrators did
awesome illustrations for.

But instead of Waldo
you're looking for
Catbug!

I don't think I ever showed
you the final layout.

So here:


And here are a couple detail sections:






So where's Catbug?

I'm not tellin'.

You should get the book 
so you can see
ALL the cool
illustrations!


Special huge belated thanks to
Joel Enos
for asking me to be a part
of the fun!

KIDS NEXT DOOR ON YOUR WALL!


While 
Codename: Kids Next Door
was in production
there were assorted attempts
to get the kids of
Sector V
up on your wall.

For example,
this hand-painted limited edition cel
that was created by 
Acme Archives:


We worked on the drawing with them for a couple months and
then they sent me all 300 cels to sign.
I tried to sign 20 a day
while I was on the phone,
usually with 
sooper powerful 
Cartoon Network
executive
Khaki Jones.


Rarer still was this 
cel of the KND shooting hoops.
I think this was created
as a gift for those who worked at 
Turner Sports.
I'm not even sure I have one of these anymore:


And I 
KNOW
I don't have one of these:


This was a print on canvas
and I can't remember what it was for.
Maybe the premiere of the show?

I know I had one hanging up at
Curious Pictures.
But it was too big to lug with me to
Los Angeles.
Not many were made so they're pretty rare.

You can find all these in various 
outlets online.
They're not cheap...
but they're around.
