Hey Gang! Just got back from the vet with Rupert Cornelius over here. He picked up a nasty fever at ConnettiCon over the weekend… STEAMPUNK FEVER! (see what I did there?! Eh?! EH?!) In all seriousness though, Dogtoon and the Wandering Legion were all over Connetticon having a grand old time gallivanting our love of all things nerdy. We just couldn’t get enough of all the panels and events going on! We presented “The Most Dangerous Game,” a convention-wide man hunt, which was a big hit! Ever been in the middle of a con-wide manhunt!? Psh, that’s just what we do on the weekends… no big deal! We participated in several panels with the Wandering Legion, and as soon as those wrapped up we headed over to see our friends at the Nerdfit Network. Little did we know, our own Rupert Cornelius was staring in the Nerdfit Cosplay Court Case as head prosecutor! He successfully helped prove or disprove crimes that our beloved characters may or may not have committed. In fact, he did SO well that Judge Judy is pushing for him to get his own reality show called “Judge of the Jungle,” but after being called “Donkey Kong” one too many times… Rupert’s law career might be short-lived. (We already had a theme song picked out and everything! Well… it was basically George of the Jungle’s theme song but instead of “watch out for that tree!” it was “plea”… and some other law words and stuff) But anyway, the court case went well and we had a great time assisting Nerdfit with their panels and events.
We also had the pleasure of meeting some web comic GREATS like Ryan Somer from “The Least I Could Do” and Garth Graham from “Finders Keepers.” We like making new friends. Will YOU be our friend? No?! Oh… ok.
While this madness was going down at the convention center, there was a bizarre bazaar of Steampunks congregating across town in the laboratories of Doctor Grimm! I’m sorry… I have that backwards. There was a Steampunk Bazaar that was just filled with bizarre trinkets and gadgets and people alike! We rubbed elbows with artists and performers from all over New England, including our friends from the Red Fork Empire. Come to think of it… this is probably where Rupert got sick. All that elbow rubbing?? SOOO unsanitary. Well, once again we had an absolute blast and we’d like to thank the Wandering Legion, Nerdfit, and all our friends who make each convention such a success.
Has it been a year already? Dear friends, what a trip it has been! This weekend Dogtoon Media is going back to CTCON in Hartford for a weekend of crazy convention fun! again to rub elbows with some fellow web artists and make some great connections! We at Dogtoon so love CTCON, the people, the stories the fun! lest we forget this is the location of the lighting v iPhone story.
This year we have so much awesome going on. The best of which needs to be announced first! Dogtoon’s own Rupert Cornelius will be appearing at the Nerdfit’s amazing 18+ Cosplay Court House. this event puts some of the costumed attendees of CTCON on trial, Since Nerdfit is running it and it has that 18+ right there in the title well, you know its gonna get crazy! and our own Educated Ape will have to be on his articulated toes, Nerdfits own “The Internet” will be presiding over the hearing, and that means things will be getting CRAZY!!
check out the info at the Cosplay Courthouse facebook page
Dogtoon will also be doing some light promotion for our new web series with some fellow epic peoples
Doug is taking a trip up North for fun and adventures in the dark woods, oh and a convention! but dont worry he wont be going alone! our dear Director has persuaded Rupert to postpone his filming and join him on this Road trip! So look for video updates of the voyage! Man and Ape, working together to…. find Maine… yeah.. never said it was an epic journey! but it is a Journey!!

Hey Everyone,
Wow has it been a crazy week! between conventions, shoots, updates comics and events to plan and go to. Its a wonder I’m still standing! But I am, because I must!
So this posting is all about UPDATES! are you sick of not knowing when the next fun thing from Dogtoon will be coming along? sick of waiting for Facebook or twitter to remind you of new comics, videos and blogs from your fav internet hotspot for all things entertaining? well worry no more for I give you a WEEKLY UPDATE SCHEDULE! see in years past we where a tad bit haphazard with your updates, when we had them we would post them. No more my friend, no, no more forever! Having the comic on a schedule helps not only me, but our viewing public! and since you folks are a big chunk of why we do what we do we thought it was best to actually post the days things will be coming out.
Each posts will be made before Noon on its update day, unless otherwise noted:
MONDAY 4/5/10: The Dog House Comic
TUESDAY 4/6/10: Blog
WEDNESDAY 4/7/10: “I’m a Steampunk” Promo video

thank you all!
Its time again for Anime Boston! we are so excited to be heading back to where it all started! Convention wise that is, it was in fact a year ago we attended our first convention as a company! And that one event started a chain reaction that has been an amazing befit to our company and a lot of fun for all of us. We are excited as an over sugared eight year old with ADD watching cartoons that just announced a new toy line with “EXPLODING ACTION” to go back!
And we all recall some of those memorable moments from last time!
We will be sharing a table with those lovely Penny Dreadfuls! check us out in the Artist Alley!
For those who dont know what anime Boston is here is a little info!
