    Oh right. Irony. I get it.

    Sometimes these simple web cartoons are more engaging than recent feature-length displays of military-grade graphics horsepower. This reminds me (without bothering to check my memory for accuracy) of Tissa David’s work and other Hubley stuff.

    Nice big-spin flip down the set… but shoulda hit the
    rail! :)

    (charming work)

      It’s supposed to be a switch frontside flip. Big flip, dog would have landed backwards again. :)

    My own dog would never sit still for this. However, I dug it.

    Definately should’ve done the grindey thingy on the rail, other than that I thought it was cool. Well done!

    I like it…the simplicity of the design works in its favor.

    Hi, Nate. I’m from the ASPCA (the Animator’s Society for the Preservation of Cruelty to Animals), and we are thrilled to see this! Not since Chuck Jones dropped Wile E. Coyote down a mile-high desert cliff has a cartoonist so charmingly f**ked with an animated animal. Keep up the good work, and you may soon find yourself in a poorly lit sweatshop, surrounded by computer programmers, law students-turned-creative executives, and birthday-themed sheet cake!

    Am I the only one seeing a Tom & Jerry “The Two Mousketeers” cartoon in this panel? Nothing about “dogs” or “skateboards”. Maybe a mixed-up link?

  • BLT

    Hmmm… refreshed the page, and now it’s “Dog Skateboard”. Which is super-weird, since the T&J toon was a YouTube link, and this one is a Vimeo plugin.

    Toons! Whaddayagonnado…

    Should have been called “bear cub skateboard” xD
    Certainly cute!
    You riled up some attention for sure.

    Hasn’t this bit been done before?

    Coming Soon: “Dog Skateboard: The Movie”. Live-action people mixed with an almost-but-not-quite-photo-realistic dog on a skateboard who fights crime (minor changes had to be made to the story during the adaptation process).

    I love this!! Totally wonderful. Great job, Nate!
