The general idea behind the concept of The Cartoon Theater
is that to draw with a computer paint program by using a mouse is
about as comfortable as trying to draw on a piece of confetti with
a crowbar. There are a million good PC paintbrush and drawing
programs with very powerful features but they never seem to give
you a library of files that the average person can use to have full
control over putting together a good little drawing or cartoon on a
greeting card, a calander page or the like. We are not all
professional artists and that is what the overall concept of the
Cartoon Theater is all about.
Series-1 features a block style cartooning format.
Series-2 will feature a more complicated form of cartooning.
Series-3 will feature a very complex library of files to
enable the average person to construct a very detailed, fine-line
work of illustration.
The Cartoon Theater Series-1 is scheduled for release on 1/1/94.
(the only CGA version to be released & also available in VGA)
The Cartoon Theater Series-2 is scheduled for release on 3/1/94.
The Cartoon Theater Series-3 is scheduled for release on 1/1/95.
All my years as a free-lance commercial artist and cartoonist
I have never found a program developed enough to fulfill these
needs for the common amature, so I made one myself.
I hope you will have as much fun playing with this program
as I had creating it. Feel free to use it to develope your own
style, technique and library of files of your own creations.
