I'm a writer, artist, cartoonist, and farmer. I've been creating the award-winning webcomic "Carry On" since 2004. I've been married to the guy who draws "21st Century Fox" http://techfox.comicgenesis.com/ since 2006. "Carry On" began as a fanfic of my husband's comic strip, and we share a universe.
I have a wide variety of interests, hobbies, and avocations. Some people call me a polymath. I just wish "polymath" paid better!
I've written two award-winning spin-off stories of my comic strip--"My Diary, By Lieutenant Frederick Kruger" https://www.crosstimecafe.com/viewt.....47&t=12085 and "Lieutenant Kruger And The Mistress Jade Trophy Game" https://www.crosstimecafe.com/viewt.....=9&t=14258
I've also drawn several other comic strips, which can be found on my web page http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/index.html

Captain Simian And The Space Monkeys
a week ago
Never mind the cheesy title--if you aren't watching this series, you should be!
My husband's brother Jim--who was a keen animation enthusiast, who collected cell art--used to enjoy this series, so when my husband saw that it was available on Tubi, we started watching it. (It's also available on YouTube)

The animation is excellent, the character designs are imaginative, the scriptwriting is top notch, the music is wonderful, the voice acting is spot on, and the puns are multitudinous, fast, and dreadfully funny. If you're any kind of sci-fi nerd, you will be splitting your sides at all the in-jokes and references.
This is a series that keeps getting better. I can't think of a bad episode, and we're halfway through the season. That may be the one bad thing about the show--it has only 26 episodes.
The basic plot is that a NASA test chimp in a space capsule went off course, and was frozen into suspended animation due to an internal accident. A long time later, the chimp was rescued by hyperintelligent beings who uplifted him and charged him with protecting the universe from a half-human, half-black-hole megalomaniac named Nebula, and Nebula's cybernetic henchman, Rhesus 2. To aid Charlie Simian in his mission, four other monkeys were wormholed in from Earth and uplifted--clever Spydor the spider monkey, hulking Gor the gorilla (who didn't get a full dose of the uplift process because he broke the device in a rage), wise Shao Lin the Chinese Golden Monkey (yes, a Shaolin Monk...ey), and schitzophrenic but brilliant orangutan, Dr. Splitzy, who shifts between being a calm genius and a redneck grease monkey. (This shifting is the one thing that bugs me.)
They also have an Orbitron supercomputer, but because it got damaged, it rarely makes sense, and sounds like John Cleese.
The show incorporates a lot of real monkey behavior. They use all four of their hands, they run on all fours, swing from the piping in their ship, and crave the difficult-to-obtain bananas.
The writing team includes DC Fontana and Nick Sagan (Carl Sagan's son.) It was developed by Gordon Bressack and directed most of the time by Bradley Rader. The voice cast includes Jerry Doyle, Maurice Lamarche, James Avery, Michael Dorn, Malcolm McDowell, Frank Welker, Karen Maruyama, Dom Irrera, and Jeff Bennett, who does amazing impressions of celebrities as the voices of the red-shirt Holoboons.
This is anthro animation at its finest and most intelligent incarnation.
