Welcome to Uncle Eddie's Theory Corner!
C'mon in! Have a seat in the theory chair! Can I get you a drink?
Coke? Juice? Beer? What did you say? You want bottled water!?
You mean hippie water? For Pete's sake, whaddaya want that stuff for?
How do you know some hippie didn't pee in it? Olga! Will you get
my guest some tap water? And put a twist of lemon in it! Nothing's
too good for a visitor! OK, let's get down to the first theory!
Dear Uncle Eddie,
ReplyDeleteI'm sick & tired of dating immature teenage boys. Now I'm looking for an older man, someone mature, manly and noble. Maybe a cartoonist. Have any thoughts?
-Mildred
Dear Mildred,
ReplyDeleteGood choice, Midred! While all male cartoonists tend to be manly and noble I understand that discriminating girls want that extra "je ne sais quoi" that comes with maturity. Good luck in your search!
-Eddie Fitzgerald
Wow! The voice of Cigarettes the Cat has his own blog now! You're one of my greatest idols, right along side John, Katie, and Jim Smith.I look forward to reading your cartoon theories in the future. I'm sure they'll be gold.

Hi Eddie!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you decided to start a blog! You're one of my favorite cartoonists! I saw your worm cartoon and laughed so hard, I peed in someone's beer!
Hey, Eddie. Are you going to be at John's show on Sunday?? It would be great to meet you!
Your fan,
Shawn
Hey! It finally happened!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blog World, Eddie!
Can't wait to hear your theories!
I hope you have some film noir posts planned too...
Welcome Eddie!! this blog thing is pretty adictive but great for fellow cartoonists.. cant wait to share..
ReplyDeleteFinally, great to see you started a blog of your own. I'm looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! If you knew how much trouble I had just publishing that one photo you'd loose all respect for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to make John and Katie's show. I just got some freelance and it depends how much work I can get done during the week.
-Eddie
I could go for some hippy pee... and by that i mean bottled water of course.
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting. =)
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, you did it! Now let the theories flow forth from your brain to my computer screen!
ReplyDelete-Chuck T.
Post a clip of you're laugh!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Eddie
ReplyDeleteIt's Jesse. COOL BLOG! I did not know that you did the voice of Cigarettes The Cat. I never saw any of the Weekend Pussy Hunt cartoons before. I love the dog from the Screwball Squirrel cartoons too. I have the Preston Blair book but it's not the original release with the Tex Avery characters. I've been reading that book for weeks so I can learn how to do animation. I have been creating my own cartoon characters since 1994. But I want to learn the best tips for animation so I can start making funny cartoon shorts. I'm 20 years old and I'm pushing 21. I feel like I learn alot from you and John when I listen to all the Audio Commentaries you do on the Ren & Stimpy and Looney Tune DVD sets. Ren & Stimpy is the reason why I want to make cartoons. I also love Tex Avery, Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones. I also would like to know where I can buy or order an animation board?
your pal,
Jesse Oliver
Hey, Eddie, I read your more recent post on John's blog relating to something you mentioned on the Porky's Party commentary about black & white film. It just so happens that my student film was done in black and white. You can check it out here if you haven't done so at a previous time.
ReplyDeleteHi Eddie
ReplyDeleteJesse loves you and so do I!
I have some requests for theory corner...
I would like to know which culture, ancient or modern, you think had the best fashion sense.
I would also like to know why they say that every person and every snowflake is unique and special when every blizzard and every person I pass on the street in North Hollywood looks exactly the same.
What is the most truly evolved man like?
I have many more questions, but for now, I'll leave it with this one...
Is it true that the internet is infected with a brain virus that removes a person's capacity to differentiate between "your" and "you're"?
Your humble servent
Steve

You are me and my Australian friends richest vein of conversation.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Mr. F. God bless you.
I'm so excited I can't sleep!
ReplyDeleteYour devoted disciple

P.S. CLICK ME TOO
Fantastic! I can hardly wait for all the golden nuggets of wisdom that will be shooting out of this blog and into my very own living room (it's where my computer is)!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with everyone else!! HOORAY FOR UNCLE EDDIE! I linked to you, by the way. Everyone is in need of your theories!
ReplyDeleteYay yay yay, this thing will be great. Nice way to start my day!
ReplyDeleteUsing my unrivaled power of estimation, I deduce that this blog will be twice as cool as one half of John K.'s blog.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe four times cooler than one quarter. It's not a very precise measurement system.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you Uncle Eddie.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you finally took the plunge and put up a blog!!! Congratulations!!! I'll visit often!
ReplyDeleteHey Eddie.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you having a blog.
Do you have any favorite cartoons? Past and present?
Dear Uncle Eddie,
ReplyDeleteIt's your soapbox now. So--start writing!
Your pal,
Pal
I'm back for my theory! Ditch the freelance work and spend all your waking hours reading the comments in your blog like everyone else!
ReplyDeleteyour everlasting devotee
Steve
P.S. BETTER CLICK ME TOO
Eddie, you're awesome and there aren't enough theory blogs out there. Rock on.
ReplyDeleteSteve, you chided someone for making a homophone error ("you're/your") and then proceded to misspell "servant" like five words later. Whoops! Those who live in glass houses...But then you posted a link to the inimitable Dave Elsewhere and redeemed yourself.
Eddie Fitzgerald is a GOD among men...
ReplyDeleteThank you, sir for making my hellish experience at Bakers Man Productions bearable. I still think they should animate "Ferp and Bart"!
Congrats on the new blog. I will check it every day - I swear on all my children's heads...
Gah Damn.
ReplyDeleteFirst post and you already have 32 post...
I want to hear all of your therories eddie! i love your cartoons!
ReplyDeleteEDDIEEE YAY!!!!!!! I am so glad you are on blogger now.
ReplyDeletei made a post in your honor:

Holy crap! I took that "Uncle Eddie" photo of you in 1980, on the filth-pavedstreets of Reseda. Isn't it time for a new one? You should find some way to download the classic "Uncle Eddie" super 8 film from the same era. I don't think anyone who started in the industry after 1990 (including most artists and all current executives) has seen it. So much time has passed since we made it that two of its actors are now dead! (Director Steve Clark and storyman/animator Michael O'Connor, if anyone cares)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with this blog. Now you can give the world what it sorely needs - your undiluted theories!

LOL! Hi Tom!
ReplyDeleteYou did indeed take that picture and I'm very, very grateful for it! The family in the background came from an old photo I found in the discount bin of a book store. I just painted in some buck teeth, which improved the family immensely. People always look better with buck teeth!
-Eddie
Thanks a million for the great letters everybody!!!! I read and re-read every one and I promise to take a look at all the sites that you asked me to (including Marlo's).
ReplyDeleteActually I'll probably look at everybody's site even if they didn't ask because I'm curious to see what kind of person reads stuff like "Uncle Eddie." I naturally assume the site attracts readers of great refinement, the kind of people who have butlers and poodles.
-Eddie
Looking forward to what you have to say, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know what all of this theory business is about so I'll stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteIt was delibarate, anon...
ReplyDeleteEddie, you should sell an Uncle Eddie Kit so we kids at home can dress up like our hero and yell real loud at the screen when we see you!
your faithful Indian sidekick

YOU MUST CLICK
Dear U.E.,
ReplyDeleteA recent visitor to my home, a Mr. [name withheld] accompanied by his wife “Mary” (if that was her real name) told me that ruffians would sneak in one day and steal the Katzenjammer Kids pictures off the walls.
It seems there's an international cartel of comics fanciers who lurk outside doorways, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. These cretins (mostly liberals, it seems) snatch valuable Mutt & Jeff and Moon Mullins pages for their own nefarious needs.
I am ever so frightened. What ever shall I do? Help me, oh, help me Uncle Eddie.

Hi Eddie
ReplyDeleteWhat is your all time favorite Ren & Stimpy cartoon?
Jesse
Yaaaa! Uncle Fuck'n Eddie has arrived!

No such thing. All us men are simple horndogs. ANY MAN YOU'VE EVER MET WHO ISN'T, IS EITHER PRETENDING NOT TO BE, OR IS A FAGGOT. I'm 16 BTW.
>>It seems there's an international cartel of comics fanciers who lurk outside doorways, waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting. These cretins (mostly liberals, it seems) snatch valuable Mutt & Jeff and Moon Mullins pages for their own nefarious needs.
Damn liberals... Probably thought rare comic art was a public commodity that must be evenly distributed amongst the community... How I hate liberals...

Holy shit, it's Pinky & The Brain!!!
This post is a veritable who's who of Spumco bigshots.
I can't wait to hear of Eddie's sweet theories.
HI EDDIE!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat to C u on here!!!!!
Dear Eddie,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you've finally started your own blog. I'm one of the fans that loved your Tales Of Worm Paranoia short--a cartoon that's still better entertainment than SOME crap that makes it on TV these days. Ever consider writing a post on what was it like working on that cartoon?
Signed,
Butch Norris (aka butchazoid)
Hi Vincent Waller
ReplyDeleteWow! you found out about Eddies blog too? COOL!!!!! I loved your work on Ren & Stimpy and your "Hey Look!" cartoon. How does it feel to be working on SpongeBob?
Jesse Oliver
