tumblrtoons: Cartoon hero, Gene Deitch, posted up a teeny sketch card i mailed him of his beloved character NUDNIK on his FB page! Says Gene: "Great, but slightly dented super-fan, the mighty Jeaux Janovsky, sent me this brilliant drawing of the aging Nudnik, now enjoying a second-life at Fantagraphics.com and Rembrandt Films.com. Thanks for this sensational souvenir, Jeaux!” How did Gene know I got banged in the head (and subsequently dented) by a trunk door last week?!? (true story) Unless he meant demented? lol Thanks for posting Gene! Great way to start today’s ‪comic‬ making day! :D -Jeaux

A cartoon hero of mine, Gene Deitch, posted up one of my drawings I mailed him of one of his coolest characters: Terr’ble Thompson, precursor to Deitch’s other cool TT: Tom Terrific! Says Gene: "An excitable fan with an exotic name, Jeaux Janovsky, sent me his special interpretation of my Tom Terrific. I love it!"

Thanks for posting Gene! Delighted!

I had met Gene a few years back at a screening tribute hosted by Jerry Beck in 2010 at Cinefamily. Here’s a pic from that night. Sidenote: Jerry posted up my sketch notes from that night on Cartoon Brew too if you’d like to take a gander: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/events/gene-deitch-screening-followup-25101.html
