![]() ![]() We did the first episode ( It Takes Two to Tango) using cel animation - acetate cels, paint, film - the whole megillah! All the subsequent episodes (there have been 11) were produced using digital ink and paint. We’d also recently done a retro-technique Speed Racer commercial for VW and were in full retro mode! I designed Ace & Gary but throughout the series, everyone at the studio got a chance to do everything from additional character design and conventionally painted backgrounds. The Ambiguously Gay Duo - s01e02 - Queen of Terror Aired on NBC: 1996.11.12 Ace and Gary stop Bighead and Queen Serena's evil scheme. Comic-book superheroes have always been a part of my DNA, and this (it was 1996) was a chance to parody them like never before! He sent it over and I never laughed out loud at any script I’d ever read before. He called (back when people used telephones) and said he had an idea for a kid’s Saturday morning-type cartoon and could/would I take a look at the script. Later he hopped to the short-lived Dana Carvey Show and that’s when he had the initial idea for the Ace & Gary cartoon. Soon after we did the opening for the then-new, Late Night With Conan O’Brien - Robert was executive producer/head writer. Sedelmaier: I had an ongoing working relationship with Robert Smigel that had begun in 1992 with an SNL commercial parody Cluckin’ Chicken. H/T The Absorbasconĭan Greenfield: Some time ago, I asked you to write a tribute to Lou Scheimer’s Filmation because it so clearly influenced satire like “The Ambiguously Gay Duo.” So before we even get into the merch, tell me how the Ambiguously Gay Duo came together. ![]()
