You can view three video clips from the show here: http://www.comics.com/comics/redirect/committed_nelvana.html Interview with Committed Cartoonist Michael Fry ----------------------------------------------- Question: When did you first know you wanted to be a cartoonist? Michael Fry: I was in college, living with several talented roommates. One was a writer, another a musician, and another a photographer. They all had girlfriends. I did not. Obviously I needed a talent. I admired Doonesbury, especially in its early crude incarnation, since it showed that lack of artistic ability need not be a barrier to success...or girls. Or so I thought. Turns out cartoonists don't get the chicks at near the same rate as writers, musicians or photographers. They really should put that in the brochure. Q: Who are some of your cartooning influences? MF: Garry Trudeau, Bill Watterson, Berke Breathed, Dr. Seuss and whoever drew the "Draw the Leprechaun - You can be an artist TOO!" ads in TV Guide when I was a kid. Q: How does creating a comic by yourself, as you do with Committed, differ from collaborating, as you do for Over the Hedge? MF: With Committed I don't have to share any of the money. Q: How did the Committed TV show come about? MF: Getting a television show made is like shoving a pot roast through a cheerio. It can be done, but it's not pretty. Committed took about six years, three continents, two show runners, a LOT of screaming at network executives who were NOT parents, and some amazingly talented writers, performers and technicians...to get on the air. Q: How involved in the show are you? MF: If you love it: I did everything...including separating out all the green M&M's for Dave Foley. If you hate it: What TV show? Q: If you weren't a cartoonist, what other career would you like to try? MF: In my next life, I'd like to come back as a dog. But not one of those little, inbred, rodent, yappy fashion accessories. I'd like to come back as an Irish Wolfhound or a St. Bernard. Something massive that drools a lot. The drool will keep the kiddos away so I'll be able to sleep 22 hours a day. Except for the whole neutering thing, being a dog would be great.

After spending his workday dealing with his daffy clients, Dr. Floyd returns home for an evening of... dealing with his daffy family. "I could say I'm trying to explore the complexity of family relationships, along with delving deeply into the world of psychiatry and neuroses, but in fact I'm just trying to come up with something funny every day," says Go Figure cartoonist J.C. Duffy. "Since I don't actually have a wife, son, dog, or psychiatrist, I figured that was the most sensible approach to take."
