No Christmas Card this year? 🥺

Yes Christmas card this year! (Thanks for reminding me)

[chrishoughton]

Thank you for Unplanned, it was so amazingly sweet. Im dyin' to know, in the new episode with Remy and Cricket in the museum vs Mark Hamill, was that an older recording or was the intention to play the characters as they "used to sound"? Or am I crazy?

Yes! Those are the original Cricket/Remy recordings from the "lost" episode, Hands-On History. In reviving the old episode, we kept as much of the original storyboards and voice recordings as possible. It's wild to hear how the voice of Cricket and Remy have evolved over the years.

Come to the Toddland booth (#4529) at SDCC this Saturday from 10-noon to meet me and Shane and get this exclusive poster drawn by me!

Toddland has a whole new line of BCG merch available here!

I'm so lazy can you convince me to watch BCG,,

I’m too lazy to convince you so… checkmate

[chrishoughton]

how on earth did you get Zach hadel to voice a character in show tho.

Spill it man. We are wondering lol. Are u a fan of smiling friends. Is that it

Aw yeah, I love Smiling Friends. It’s brilliant and fresh and funny. Zach and Michael both did voices in the episode “Flexed” which was very nice of them

Happy 7th anniversary to BCG, Chris! Ever expected your show would get his far?

Thank you! Yes, I always believed in the show! But also no, I never thought we’d make this far!

[chrishoughton]

OH MY OZ IT’S YOU! I’m not exactly a Big City Greens person but HOLY CRAP I FOUND YOUR ACCOUNT AND HERE I AM GAAAAAAAH

[chrishoughton]

Can Cricket teach me how to walk off an injury like him like it’s nothing?

Let’s be honest, the pain centers in Cricket’s brain malfunctioned a long time ago

[chrishoughton]

So... was that Susie?

Ok so I’m officially old and out of touch because I had no idea who Susie was until “Locked In” aired and a TON of people pointed out the similarities??

I literally drew Jagger on a post-it note while we were writing the episode. I figured a cool/new/mysterious kid should have bangs that cover his eyes. He was later colored purple 🤷‍♂️

[chrishoughton]

Shouldn't Cookie have broken the glass on Tilly's space helmet and died? Are the space helmets in the Big City Greens movie made of glass or are they made of some other material?

Good eye! Their helmets are made from a type of energy shield rather than glass. You can tell by the way their helmets generate when “turned on.”

Also, as crazy as Gwendolyn is, a glass bowl separating your head from the vacuum of space isn’t good for anybody.

[chrishoughton]

do you like the saxon i made?

I love it!!

[chrishoughton]

Does Gregly have an official age? I've always been curious about this since his character debut lol, I always assumed maybe 15

Maybe? Gregly’s based off a guy I knew who was probably 40 at the time. But Gregly’s definitely not 40, that I can say for sure.

[chrishoughton]

been thinking about Colleen Voyd ever since spacecation. How has she been doing post movie

I’m sure her and Cookie are doing just fine up there!

[chrishoughton]

I've noticed that you've worked in both illustration and animation. I know people have transitioned from comics to TV/film; but is it feasible to get a break in animation while still being in another field?

For sure- artists can go anywhere and work in any creative field. Chances are you’ll have to switch industries a few times throughout your career. Just focus on developing your drawing, designing, and/or storytelling skills. Don’t box yourself in. Talented creative collaborative thinkers are needed all over the place.
