My tastes aren’t always the same as my readers, and thus what I thought was my funniest lines aren’t always the ones people seem to like, but I just have to step back for a moment and pat myself on the back for the that answer today to “Why do light bulbs screw in clockwise?”. I don’t know what everyone else thinks of that, but it had me cracking up (on the inside). That reminds me, I want to do a top ten best IMAO posts with the help of you readers, but I’ll set that up later.
What I wanted to say now was that, since I was a child, I really really have wanted to make a cartoon. So does anyone know much about making cartoons with shockwave? I was thinking I could use some of my donation money to buy the software to play around with it, but I’m not sure how much time it would actually take to make a couple minute short. If someone is experienced with it and could give me advice, I’d appreciate it. If someone wants to team up with me on making one, that’s cool too; it would be your chance to work with the greatest comic genius of your lifetime 🙂
I’m pouring my heart into tomorrow’s In My World™, so I hope everyone will like it. There will probably be more Frank Answers™ as well.
Thanks for reading.
You are a pretty funny guy, I loved the last in my world and your michael moore email was a hilarious.
That was indeed a very funny answer–the single best bit was Edison’s final, desperate warning.

I don’t know anything about Flash itself, but there’s a nifty program called Moho that can render its animations to Flash or various video codecs. It’s cheap (as animation programs go) and pretty easy to use. There used to be, and probably still is, a free demo that was fully functional except that the final renders were watermarked.
I played with Flash and Shockwave for some time about two years ago. My inherent lack of artistic ability may have been the weak link, because the programs are easy to use.
