Ladies & Gentlemen:
On behalf of my humble keeper Miss G. E. Gallas — I, Mr. Edgar Lawrence Fluffernutter™, would like to graciously thank you for your generous patronage.
Miss Gallas is flabbergasted that our supporters have doubled in a matter of two or three months, and is unwavering in her determination to sustain the quality of this enterprise.
Although I have little knowledge of these newfangled contraptions, it is to my understanding that there are additional entities (thepoetandtheflea.wordpress.com) where one might extend one’s support, and I would be much obliged if you were to kindly do so.
Your modest nocturnal mammal,
E. L. Fluffernutter™

As you may recall, I’ve just developed a new, little obsession with bats and that I’ve been considering developing a character called “Fluffernutter the Bat” [see post here]. Well, over the past few days, I’ve been working on some preliminary character designs for Fluffernutter!
These designs were facilitated by a recent purchase of a stylus for my iPad. Since then, I’ve been experimenting with 53′s Paper app and the Art Rage app (as seen in Mac commercials). I’ve also downloaded an animation app, and plan to experiment with Fluffernutter in motion!
Furthermore, I’m thinking of eventually designing a Fluffernutter t-shirt. So I definitely welcome any comments, feedback, or constructive criticism you may have.

Here is a brief update on my current creative projects and endeavors…!
★ Important Note: “The Poet and the Flea 100 Day Countdown to the Premiere” is underway!! Join us on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook!
Friday, August 24th
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
- Yesterday, received e-mail from Shannon. She has finished the entire first draft of our graphic novel collaboration entitled The First Reich!!! After she does some editing, she’ll be sending me a copy to read — I can’t wait… ヽ(；▽；)ノ
Saturday, August 25th
Sunday, August 26th
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
- Received e-mail from a writer interested in collaborating on a children’s book. In the process of scheduling a meeting.
- Two more Pixel-Flick Alliance meetings have been scheduled — one on September 15th and the other on the 22nd.
Monday, August 27th
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
- After some correspondence, have scheduled a meeting with J.R. (jrbiche.wordpress.com) to further discuss his potential web series. Meeting on Monday, September 10th.
Tuesday, August 28th
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
Wednesday, August 29th
- Continuing work on The Flea and The Man…
- For Robert Louis Stevenson research, began reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
- Planning to sign up with OnlineComics.net.
- Planning to contact Graphic Ladies!? on Tumblr about The Poet and the Flea.
Thursday, August 30th
- Continued research for The Poet and the Flea.
- Completed short screenplay The Man Who Never Smiled.
- E-mail correspondence with potential production company about The Man Who Never Smiled.
- E-mail correspondence with potential director/producer for Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend.
- E-mail correspondence with Brian (Pixel Flick Entertainment). Brian became the new organizer for the meetup.com group “San Francisco Movie Makers,” hoping to get more people interested in the Alliance. Would love to see the Alliance grow!
- Did not make it to the next round of The Austin Film Festival Screenplay Contest. As I said before, I just have to keep doing what I’m doing. There are still about 5 more I’m waiting to hear back from. Anything could happen!
Friday, August 31st
- Working on the script for The Poet and the Flea!
- E-mail correspondence with potential production company about The Man Who Never Smiled.
Saturday, September 1st - Sunday, September 2nd
- Taking a little break…
- Continuing to read Jekyll and Hyde — it’s incredibly different from any adaptation I have come across. Fascinating!
- Bought a JPLT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N1 textbook from Kinokuniya. Started reviewing the material, and believe it was money well spent. Not sure if I’ll actually take the test, but would be a nice addition to my résumé. If I decide to apply to The JET Programme as a CIR (Coordinator for International Relations), would be very helpful!
JLPT N1 Textbook!!
Monday, September 3rd
- Continuing work on The Flea…
- Shannon sent me the entire draft of our graphic novel collaboration, The First Reich. In the process of reading and taking lots of notes. Project will require much period fashion/settings research, but is a welcome challenge!
Tuesday, September 4th
- Today, I found out some exciting news. I hadn’t realized that anything was announced since I received no e-mail. But I checked the Kaos Films website, and lo and behold. My screenplay Death Is No Bad Friend is one of 292 qualifiers (semi-finalists) in the Kaos Films British Short Screenplay Competition 2012. (This means my script will most likely be read by judge Sir Kenneth Branagh!!) The finalists should be announced sometime around January. Awesome!
- Continuing work on The Flea and The First Reich.
- E-mail correspondence with potential director/producer for Robots Are a Girl’s Best Friend.
- Finished reading The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I think it was a good experience. Next, thinking of reading The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells.
- By the way, I’ve just developed a new, little obsession with bats. Just look at their faces below!! (゜▽゜;) Perhaps I’ll eventually develop a comic or children’s book with a protagonist named “Fluffernutter the Bat”™?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of these bat photographs!!
Etcetera
- The Poet and the Flea: 45 pages of written script (1 page of script = 4-6 illustrated pages), and about 36 pages (1-18, 21-23, 27-30 completed, and 19-20, 24-26, 31-36 in progress) of illustrated work.
To Do:
- Meeting with writer for children’s book on Monday, September 10th (noon).
