Cosmo, Preggers!

This is also from the "Fairly Odd Baby" episode. Some drawings to guide the animators, as they laid out the sequence where a pregnant Cosmo dances joyously through a bucolic landscape, celebrating his impending motherh...er...fatherhood.

Unfortunately the animation of this sequence was really disappointing, and what should have been a very funny animated segment blows by almost before you have time to notice it. That's what happens when you export art to the lowest bidder.

To be honest I have to agree. Although I like the static animation the show has at times. It would be nice to have certain sequences with more fluid motion and attention to detail.

From what you described I would've loved to have seen this sequence. :D

It's a shame how animation is treated. At least we can see your drawings and get an idea of how they were supposed to be.

Hello Ernie!
Your art is fabulous! I happened across an episode of FOP and actually had a chance to see the credits (I have a toddler), and there you were! My husband couldn't understand why I suddenly yelled "Ernie Gilbert!"
By now you're wondering why this stalker is writing to you... I used to go to school with you at UM-F. If you remember an outspoken Freshman by the name of Liz Knaski who had an opinion about everything... yeah, that would be me!

Glad to see you've accomplished your goal of a career in animation! Say hi to Cathy for me.

God Bless,
Liz (Knaski) Hewes
