Geoffrey’s Lowsy Smarch Update

“What do you want to do this month, Geoffrey?”

“Same thing I do every month… write comedy for the internet!

The animation super-site Lineboil asked me to weigh-in on the upcoming Oscars, especially the Best Animated Feature award.  I wrote them a funny chart, which editor Aaron Simpson spruced up with some nifty graphic design.  Here’s my take on Up, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Princess and The Frog, and the Irish one nobody’s seen or heard of.

I’m writing a new arc for the Leetstreet Boys webcomic, where Rose looks for true love at an anime convention.  What makes this story special?  Well, for one, Justin’s awesome camouflage.

I will also be a contributor to GeekWeek, a cool new site that brings all the nerd universes together: comics, video games, pro-wrestling and more.  So far, I toured visitors through the freak show that is obsolete video formats and kicked off a regular series where I look at the hilariously weird clips from each week’s RAW and Smackdown.

Also putting the finishing touches on maybe my most ambitious project to date: a collaboration of comedy writers and cartoonists that will be ready for unveiling next month.  I can’t wait to tell you what it is and who’s involved.  You’ll plotz.  Thaddeus J. Plotz?  Perhaps.

Hey Geoffrey, What Have You Been Up To Lately?

The above image was sent to me by Brian, who really liked my roundup of Mordor images on Comedy.com.  The post inspired him to make a new one.  Fist pump to you, Brian!

I’ve been hopping around the internet, writing comedy bits for folks.  Here’s a roundup:

Over at MadAtoms, two of my recent pieces made the front page of Digg.  Thanks, Digg!  I also wrote a map for Conan O’Brien, to help him look for new employment:

I guest edited at Comedy.com for a few days, covering funny iPad videos and other accidental viral video stars:

I also started blogging for a new site called Technomaly.  They have a humorous take on daily tech news.  Here are some blogs I wrote for them:

The Leetstreet Boys webcomic is going strong, thanks to our sensational new artist Erin Nagy.  We just finished an arc where the band crash lands on top of a sushi restaurant, which desperately needs their help.  The fun starts here.

Finally, I updated my reel with new clips, like “A Street Fighter Christmas” and me dressed in an elephant costume:

Also, I’ll be appearing in a comedy show for charity next week.  Here’s the info:

HM157 is one of the coolest community use spaces in all of Los Angeles. The only problem is, so much free stuff happens there that the house raises very little money! Why not help the house stay afloat by checking out our comedy show? It’s the perfect way to celebrate the day before Valentine’s Day! And bring your dancing shoes because after the show, we’ll be dancing all night long!

Love + Comedy: A Fundraiser For HM157
Saturday, February 13th @ 10pm
Doors Open @ 8pm
$5 Suggested Donation – Dollar Beers At The Bar!

Working on all sorts of other projects I have to keep hush-hush for now.  Stay tuned and learn more.  MORE.

My Planet 51 Review For Lineboil

My first article for Lineboil, the awesome animation blog from the folks who brought you Cold Hard Flash, went live today.  It’s a review of the upcoming Planet 51.  Enjoy, Spacernauts!

“It’s been a long, long ride to get to Planet 51, which opens in theaters tomorrow. Since 2002, Illion Animation Studios has been perfecting their first feature length animated movie for theaters. Seven years of re-writing, re-recording and re-animating later, they finally launched their film into theaters, but will it be a smooth landing with audiences?”
