We TV animation folk have to make some hard and fast choices it seems.<br /><br />I really think your a real brainiac, and I love reading your funny comics, with your thoughtful and effecting prose. It ain't an easy row to hoe is it? the current model of broadcast animation doesn't work, and animation is not "essential" but it doesn't mean it's not important.<br /><br />If I was involved in something half as good as say, iron giant in terms of soulful and meaningful storytelling, not to mention animation craftsmanship, I could die of happiness. <br /><br />I say, shine on you crazy diamond, keep up the great work around here.murraybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16293570215765830839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-40625268914561011222010-07-22T20:59:23.372+01:002010-07-22T20:59:23.372+01:00I just stumbled across your blog, so I haven't...I just stumbled across your blog, so I haven't had the time to read much of the content.

Not sure how much actual cash money you would bring in that way, but some folks are making their living blogging, so it must be possible. From what I've seen so far, I doubt many readers would get upset over ads.<br /><br />Just a thought, for whatever it might matter to anyone.seybernetxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513982721559447458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-49038110529165826552010-07-19T17:28:05.362+01:002010-07-19T17:28:05.362+01:00If you stopped this blog, we would definitely miss...If you stopped this blog, we would definitely miss it.

Your blog possesses a lot of value to me, because it's always insightful to hear something about the animation industry from someone directly and it really gives a clue as to what to expect when I try to draw cartoons for a living in a few short years.<br /><br />Best wishes and good luck with whatever you're up to right now. Thanks for making the world better with your blog, and I wouldn't mind if you retired the blog, as long as it would help you with your life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-27634465709669691222010-07-14T20:07:58.916+01:002010-07-14T20:07:58.916+01:00Dearest Bitter,

There will be a huge whole in my life should you, Bitter and Astro Andy leave the blogosphere.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474227548195593445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-71978878588482963452010-07-13T05:28:26.196+01:002010-07-13T05:28:26.196+01:00I'm fairly new to your blog (I only discovered...I'm fairly new to your blog (I only discovered it about a month ago) but have been reading through it from the beginning and have to say it has helped me more than you could believe. Many of the things I think or feel, I often wonder if they cross the minds of anyone else. After reading through all of your stuff, it's comforting to know that there is someone else out there like me; someone who is going through depression but has a sense of humour about it and can turn it into something creative. I don't want to sound like I'm having a laugh at depression, but you have the gift of turning it into something humorous, something that makes people feel that there's still a bright side to it all. And that feeling inspires me a lot with my writing. I sometimes even feel that I am just re-inventing the wheel after reading your site!<br /><br />If you do retire the blog, then I wish you well with all of your future endeavours and would love for you to keep me posted on them. If you do continue to write, then I look forward to continuing reading.<br /><br />All the best!<br /><br />BTW Thanks for the shout out. It's much appreciated and I hope you continue reading.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976864875747777997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-62089294715649967552010-07-11T19:49:53.600+01:002010-07-11T19:49:53.600+01:00Thanks Chuck.

I really owe you a great debt.<br /><br />Over the years —Hell, it has been years, hasn't it?— I've also felt that you've managed to deal better with the depression angle, so maybe that's one more reason to retire the blog; or maybe, reinvent it into something new?<br /><br />I enjoy reading what you write, Bitter. But if you feel that it sucks up time that would be better spent laboring with the project's you've always dreamed of, then by all means: go for it.<br /><br />We can alway brag that we all knew you back when you where an unknown Bitter Animator ;)Red Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170007670756935047.post-49977891958871030252010-07-08T22:49:11.564+01:002010-07-08T22:49:11.564+01:00Well Bitter, your blog has value to your readers. ...Well Bitter, your blog has value to your readers. I, like many animators, have come across many tough situations at work, but in my case I learned a lot about the crap before it happened to me. And I learned here. The result is that I don't waste as much time as I might complaining about studio politics and that has prevented me from breaking down. And I've seen several co-workers break down around me.<br /><br />So whether it continues or not, I'd like to say that this blog has been a good thing....a valuable thing. Thank you very much indeed for writing it :)Andy Lathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404988861331264759noreply@blogger.com
