When I submitted this cartoon I was not expecting the level of interest that it has garnered and all I can say is THANK YOU! I’ve been inspired by all the positive feedback and the desire for more. This was the first cartoon that I’ve had creative direction of and seeing so many people enjoy watching it has steeled my resolve to make more stuff in the near future. My relationship with NG had always felt a bit tangential, and though I had contributed to a few friends’ productions I didn’t feel that I had much to do in any of them that was significant. With the release of this cartoon I feel that chapter has ended and a new one ripe with creative possibilities…has begun!
THANKS to @MikeCarf and those in attendance at The Ralphies for the debut of this thing, and Lee at Short Short Fest for airing the cartoon amongst other delectable submissions. THANKS to @TomFulp and the NG team for putting us on the banner for so long. THANKS to @Brewster for co-producing this thing and writing to make it funnier. The raw animation talent of @moonslop , @Spinalpalm and @TheJanitor9k gave this some much needed life and variety. @lauralaroo 's additional animation and all the fucked up shit on the table were just what the toon needed to push it over the edge. We of course cannot forget @Pjorg for lending a voice to the spendthrift with the most underrated jokes at the table, Visor. Also a huge THANK YOU to Mike Oxlong, who has always been a huge, hard, throbbing inspiration to everyone here, especially your mother.
Now I come to you with all of this gratitude to say that I have actually been at work on a special project since the cartoon made Weekly 2nd (an apt placement I might add). I’m sure you noticed the ADVERTISEMENT that plays post credits, and some of you may have been curious enough to click on the link in the description and discover my wares.
CROODY PRINTS is my entrepreneurial endeavor and foray into the world of the independent artist. If you previously ventured onto the site you have seen my initial 5 designs up for sale, but there is now a 6th. I will be doing a limited run of Twenty-two DINNER 2 COMMEMORATIVE PRINTS. If you are at all interested in my work and showing some love for the cartoon I advise you to pick one up before they are gone gone gone!
Wrapping up I’d like to state that if you have any inclination towards using my services or wanna send me a note feel free to drop a line thru DMs or on the Contact page of the CROODY PRINTS site. Don’t be shy- I read everything!

Dinner 2 absolutely banged. It certainly gave me some inspiration on how to use crude animation for comedy, also big hands stuck in my head the most, seriously one of the funniest parts of the animation.
