Super Soapy Pal!

Just recently, Nickelodeon FINALLY aired the "Clean" episode of of Yo Gabba Gabba! "Clean" also introduced a new character, Super Soapy Pal. Super Soapy Pal is a flying bar of soap that is Yo Gabba Gabba's official spokesperson for hygiene (you know, like washing your hands?) His mortal enemies are germs! Not these Germs...
But these germs!!
"We are the tiny ugly germs, and we'll make you sick!" But I digress...

Below is my first colored sketch of Mr. Super Soapy. As you can see, it's super sketchy...

So after everybody dug the sketch, I took it to my computer and built this "cleaner" version (wocka wocka) in Adobe Illustrator. Learning that Super Soapy Pal was going to be flying in front a blue screen, I rendered him in more of a minty hue.

After the cleaner, soapy sketch is OK'd, we turn this art over to our puppet masters, and Super Soapy Pal quickly comes to life!


Here we have Animation Producer Kevin Lee, Animation Wizard Joel Fox and a flying tattooed arm, demonstrating Super Soapy Pal's shoulder resting capabilities.

Super Soapy Pal is here to inspire hope in the hearts of parents and children everywhere. Hope for a cleaner, brighter future.
So what if they've switched to an anti-bacterial liquid soap.

Bye Bye Birdie

Well, we're just about done here. Season 2 has been the ultimate blast, but the clock is striking and we're about to turn into a pumpkin (very appropriate for Halloween, no?). We're moving out and the lease is up. In fact, this building is soon to be demolished. The wrecking ball will be leaving in it's wake the bright colored remains of music, laughter, good karma and the rubble of hieroglyphs that were painted in the bathroom and in Joel Fox's office. Today we're packing up, saying goodbye and reflecting on what a dream job this has been.
We hope that this season brings you and your family some of the sincere love we put into it. Thank you very much.

Now, on to season 3...????
