Illustrator Wanted! + Jimmy Two Shoes goes to Asia & Oz

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Jimmy Two Shoes, the animated series that I was involved in creating along with Sean Scott, has been picked up by Cartoon Network in Australia and Asia in addition to the existing broadcasters, Disney and Teletoon. It’s very exciting news, and hopefully moves us closer to getting a season two for the show.

However, it also means that Sean is unable to commit to working on the graphic novel version of The Roaches, one of my pet projects. Which means… if you’re a talented, funny, and slightly warped illustrator with a graphic novel bent who is looking to come in as a partner on a very well-connected project, or you know someone who might, please send ‘em this way. There is a very fair percentage of the project gross available for the right person.

  1. Hello.

    I’m here on behalf of the Jimmy Two-Shoes fan-base with a few questions regarding the continuity of the show and its stages of development and history. These rumors have been perplexing a number of the fans for quite a number of months now, and any clarification that you can offer would be greatly appreciated by not only myself but to the loyal followers of the series as well.

    1) Was the show’s original setting located in Hell?

    2) Following the rumored original setting and premise, how was it that Jimmy died and ended up in Hell?

    3) Regarding Heloise, there is a rumor floating around, implying that in the original premise for the show, she was once a serial killer was killed by either the police or by her own hands, and the the scar marked some sort of entry wound. Would you please tell us if there is any truth to these rumors?

    4) Some early production and concept images show the characters with not only different designs, but also different names. Can you tell us some of the name changes that occurred?

    5) There is a least one image that has been discovered which is believed to be taken directly from a pilot episode of Jimmy Two-Shoes. It displays a ghoulish looking Heloise electrocuting a bow-tie wearing Jimmy Two-Shoes. Can you please describe this pilot episode, or offer us any sort of information as to what it was like and how it may have differed from the rest of the series?

    6) Is there an age given for the characters Heloise and Beezy J. Heinous?

    7) There seems to been quite a variety of creatures and inhabitants in Miseryville and the surrounding world in general, however humans tend to be in short supply. Are Jimmy and Heloise the only two human characters in their world?

    8) Following the show’s current premise, how is it that Heloise got her scar?

    9) Is there any particular reason why Heloise is so infatuated with Jimmy?

    10) Is the show set on Earth, or an entirely fictional world all together?

    Any information that you could and would be willing to provide about these questions and anything regarding the series in general would be of much appreciation to the fan-base.

    Thank you.

  2. Hi Roger,
    Thanks for your comments and questions. I’m on deadline right now for the sequel to STAR Academy, but will post some answers to your questions over the coming weeks. Cheers, Edward.

  3. Excellent. We’re eagerly anticipating the answers.

  4. Hello, again.

    I promised the fans that if after about a month I sent you my last message and had not received any other responses, I would send you another to check in on possibly getting any of the questions that were asked before answered, if you have the time to do so.

    Someone also had another question that they’d like answered, if possible:

    Jimmy is clearly a fish out of in Miseryville. It’s hinted in the show that he is relatively new to Miseryville and some Internet sources point to him having recently moved to his current residence. Where is it that Jimmy came from and why is it he moved to Miseryville?

    Thank you.

  5. Hi Roger,
    It has and continues to be a wild month here as I try to wrap up the second book in the STAR Academy series, hence the delay. I hope you and the other Jimmy Two Shoes fans will check it out. You can click here to read the first chapter online. It has a similar darkly humorous sensibility, and I’m beginning negotiations with a variety of production companies interested in adapting the novel as a film or television series. So hopefully it will be taking its place next to Jimmy Two Shoes in the not-too-distant future.

    But back to Jimmy. The premise of the series changed slightly as different broadcasters became involved and concepts that were hilarious to some gave others the heebie-jeebies. I won’t be able to answer all of the questions, because some of them are things that I’ve had to sign confidentiality agreements around, but I’ll do my best.

    Going back to front with the questions, Jimmy is indeed a fish out of water in Miseryville. The “where” of Jimmy’s past is purposely left vague. Once upon a time, we thought of Jimmy living in good old suburbia, being an all-round nice guy, carrying groceries for the infirm and getting cats out trees, that sort of thing. Then one day he was helping an old lady across the road when he was accidentally struck and killed by a bus. This was not supposed to happen, according to the powers that be. (Kind of a “Heaven Can Wait”) scenario. Worse, through an administrative error, Jimmy was sent to an alternate reality where things are very unpleasant. Not necessarily Hell (to answer question 1 and 2), because we wanted it to have a more universal appeal, and not be limited to the conventions and expectations surrounding that particular location. But a not very nice alternative to Jimmy’s previous white-picket-fence existence.

    So now, we have dispensed with such a concrete background story to how Jimmy got to Miseryville. It’s more like Kafka now. Imagine waking up one morning and instead of having turned into Kafka’s proverbial beetle, you instead were yourself, but everything around you had changed. Or that you were walking down the street, saw a banana peel so were careful not to step on it – in fact, altruist that you are, you, like Jimmy, bend down to pick it up – then are struck by an inconsiderate bicyclist riding on the sidewalk, and knocked down a manhole, the cover of which has been carelessly left off. Knocked out cold, you awaken to find yourself in Miseryville. So the question is, does Miseryville then exist inside your head, dreamlike, only until you eventually awaken from your coma? Or is there really some alternate universe down in the bottom of the city sewer that has until now gone undiscovered? We think it’s fun to let that question hang. To use an analogy, is there really a Narnia behind that wardrobe, or is it a collective voluntary fantasy? I still don’t know.

    re. 3 and 8. I created the character of Heloise, and yes indeed, those rumours are true. I think I’m the one with the most psycho ex-girlfriends, so I usually create those characters. Heloise was originally supposed to be a serial killer who Lucius had arranged to have brought in to torment Jimmy. Unfortunately for Lucius, Heloise took a shine to Jimmy. To answer question 9, Something about sweet, innocent guys appeals to the last remaining shred of humanity in her, so she has a sort of ambivalent relationship with Jimmy. She likes to do mean things, but she likes that guy a lot too. What’s a girl to do? As far as the scar… hmm, I think that was a design choice that Sean Scott made. Again, the purpose is meant to raise more questions than it answers. First of all, it just makes her look that much crazier (like Adriana’s eyebrows on The Sopranos). It could be a wound inflicted as a result of an accident incurred during one of her notorious risk taking behaviours. Perhaps it was a botched lobotomy from well-meaning health care professionals hoping to curb her excesses. Or maybe she just stood up too fast one day while chasing cockroaches around her front yard, and clobbered herself on a mailbox.

    re. 6 There is no specific age for Jimmy, Beezy or Heloise. We like them to be able to do things that kids want to do here on everyday Earth, but aren’t always old enough to do, like drive cars. So by setting it in an alternate reality, we’re able to let Jimmy and the others do those things, in the same way that Sponge Bob can take “driving lessons” even though he sometimes seems younger than 16.

    Must get back to my sequel now, but will take a run at the rest of those questions as soon as I can get back to them. Hope you’ve enjoyed reading my responses. Cheers, Edward

  6. I did, indeed, enjoy reading your responses. These answers turned out to be quite insightful to the understanding of the series and we are looking forward to any others you may be able to answer in the future, when you get the time.

    Thank you very much.

  7. please no cancel jimmy two shoes of nick im froom mexico jimmy two shoes is greate please no cancel jimmy two shoes of nick

  8. hi¡¡¡¡¡

    i´m so proud to be a jimmy two shoes fan¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

    thank you , thank you for did it

  9. Hi Sandra! Thanks, I’m so happy that you’re a fan of the show. I think you’ll love season two! It’s in production now, so there won’t be too many more months now to wait until you can see it.

  10. Hello there. I am not part of any fan club, but I was just curious, is Sammy Garvin supposed to be similar to Waylon Smithers from The Simpsons?
    Your fan,
    Chris Visser

  11. Hi Chris, Thanks for your note. Sammy, being the sycophant that he is, definitely has certain traits in common with Waylon. Sammy however is actually a combination of several irksome classmates and co-workers I’ve known over the years (one of the greatest things about being a writer is that annoying real-life people ultimately put money in your bank account by serving as handy walking R&D departments for your antagonists). I think Waylon genuinely loves Monty Burns, whereas Sammy, in his dark little heart of hearts, would love to be the one running Miseryville if he could figure out how to stage a coup or press the right button.

    Cheers,
    Edward

  12. Thanks a lot for the reply! Most television series creators I have written to in the past have never once written me back.
    Also, I always like when any cartoon character has a lisp because I myself have one. (Even if the lisp is to make him more annoying like your co-workers.)

  13. HI!!! I was wondering when season 2 will be coming out? I know that it’s still in production, but I’m still just curious. I’ve heard that it might come out in the summer, and I’ve heard that it might come out in the spring- Just want to get it straight!!!

    Also, I’ve heard that among many other new characters there will be one named Jasper Heinous, Beezy’s cousin. What’s he going to be like?

  14. Hi Allyson,

    It’s up to the broadcasters, but my best guess is this fall. Like most other series, the first shows will begin airing before the last ones are completed. We have to do it this way because of time constraints. Cheers, Edward

  15. Oh man. Fall?? Next thing I’ll hear is that it’s airing in the winter!!! :D But I suppose this is the most reliable source I’ve got.

  16. http://jimmytwoshoes.wikia.com/wiki/Season_2

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jimmy_Two-Shoes_episodes

    There are some season 2 episodes listed here. How ligit are they (this first link doesn’t seem quite right)?

  17. Not very, methinks!

  18. Hi. I am Francis and I love this cartoon, I even had some ideas for the cartoons, if you want you ccan check them at Fanfiction.com. After entering the page you go to the Jimmy Two-shoes area. Then go the story where it says “Just a Little Further” you check the reviews and there you will find my ideas and I hope you like them. By the way a have searched a thousand ways to contact you. I hope this message is received.

  19. Hi Francis, Message received! Glad to hear that you enjoy Jimmy Two Shoes! Check out the page for STAR Academy. If you like the world of JTS, I think you’ll enjoy the STAR Academy novel too.

  20. O.K. I will check it. Thanks for it.

    But I am wondering, have you checked my ideas if not I can write them here you know. Just tell me and I will write right away!

  21. I need to tell you something Edward (it is okay that i call you like that right?) Well back to info. I am from Guatemala and I can only watch Jimmy two-shoes once a week! ONCE A WEEK! I have tried many times to tell them that put it back but they never listen. I know they will soon take it out to put something really bad, that is what happens now days with cartoon channels, they take away what is good to put something awful.

    Could you please help me! I wish to see season 2 before they take away the cartoon. You are my last hope!!!

  22. Hi Francis,
    I’m incredibly busy working on the sequel to STAR Academy, which is due in August, so am living like a hermit, barely reading anything else. But I will be sure to look at your ideas when I come up for air. Cheers, Edward

  23. O.K. I am just trying to help you Edward so it could be more easy to you to finish your story, I know how it feels like when you can not finish your stories. I know it because I am writing a book called “The Wizard of Shadows” so post a letter here when you are finish with the story, by the way you do an excellent Job!!!!

    Cheers Francis
    (Like I say, a good idea takes to an incredible world!!)

  24. I actually find the show quite intriguing with the whole possible darkside of hell added to this cartoon is interesting because luscious name stands for lucifer as in the devil so i find it funny and bezzy is like little nicky and to roger bacon i think since the whole show is filled with idiots in the good way that heloise is sopposed to be anti-comic relief and to cause fun and wacky scenarios and solutions to those scenarios

  25. An episode like that will be better for the next season:

    Watch out for Beezy,Heloise:Heloise make a love potion for Jimmy but was accidently goes on Beezy and make him fall in love with her.It up to Jimmy to make Beezy slow down while Heloise find the cure to stop him.

  26. hi

    will we see more jimmy and heloise shipping in the second season?

  27. Totally!

  28. Hi Edward, it is me Heloise… I mean Francis.
    I got a few questions, so could I borrow your time just for this.
    My first question is

    Will Lucius Heinous the I appear at second season?
    Those Heloise is human or monster, I am asking this because I have search in Internet that she might be half snake?

    Those Heloise use dentures and is she a kid or an old woman since has a bear, or it was just for fun in episode There is Always a Hiccups?

    Would you like to post my ideas here?

    Oh! And by the way how is Star Academy sequel?
    Could you answer this questions please!

    Cheers Francis
    (Keep working hard, you are doing a GREAT JOB)

  29. Hi Edward. It is me Francis, you know it is August and this means you finished your story of STAR ACADEMY. If I am right then post a letter. And I am still waiting for the questions I have asked long ago. So no pressure but I am really excited to tell you my stories about Jimmy Two-shoes. But if you do not want to hear about them I understand, because I have give my ideas to: Nintendo, Playstation, and other companies and no one those not like my ideas. So just tell me and I will understand.

  30. Hey Edward,
    First of all, I would like to say that I really like the show.

    The Thing i like the most over the whole show is Heloise, Kind of a psycho girl next door.

  31. O.K. I have been patient, I have waited a month for an answer, but you never answer me.
    You have done it, you broke my heart , well I can you to my list of persons that hates me, and my ideas.

    You know, no one ever listen to my ideas, and I am just trying to help you, but no. It is sad all of you people believe that you do not need anybody.

    But if sometimes you people should listen to your fans, many can have go ideas better than mines, but you would never listen.

    I hope this message reaches you, and make you think, reflect about this.
    Even if you made my heart break to pices, I will be around, so then send a letter if you would like to hear me, or just throw me away like other people do.

    But I will be here if you need help. (So long: Francis)

  32. Francis, I don’t think he checks this site anymore.

  33. Well, thank-you Allyson.

    I will quit this before my heart is completely devastated. The worst of all is that I got an inspiration with this…..

    If you want you can check my ideas at fanfiction, Jimmy two-shoes area, in the reviews part of the story “Just a little Farther” (Is a story of one of my most loyal friends). I let you free to check my ideas.

    You know it is sad that most famous people have always does the same to me even my friends and family. I thought Edward will be different, but I guess I was wrong.

    WELL HAPPY WEEK
    (WITH CHEERS FRANCIS)

  34. I’ll check it out. :)

  35. Thanks. Who ever says that my ideas are good is my friend. I will also be glad of you read the story “Jimmy Who?” I bet you will like it.

  36. Yikes! I’ve been working on another project for the past two months (finishing the sequel to my novel, STAR Academy) and so haven’t had time to respond to all the emails. Sorry to have broken your heart. One thing I should say to everyone is that for legal reasons, I am not allowed to read any story ideas that do not come through the story department of the show. The reason is that there could be legal liability if by chance you had an idea that was the same as someone writing on the show (including me!) So much as I appreciate the effort, I really prefer not to hear about potential Jimmy story ideas. Thanks, and take care! Edward

  37. Thanks Ray. I have to say she’s my favourite character. She’s based on several girls I have known who have, shall we say, should have been left “next door”!
    Cheers,
    Edward

  38. If only it were that easy. Still working on it. Got an extension to the end of September. Novels take a huge amount of time compared to television shows. In fact, if you like Jimmy, you should take a look at STAR Academy. More wild happenings, and lots more of it. Anyway, if you seriously want to submit ideas for Jimmy Two Shoes, you need to find an agent and have them submitted to the production company. There are the usual lawyer documents (releases, etc.) that need to be signed, and honestly, I am not, repeat NOT allowed to read submissions from outside the production company, because they don’t want to be exposed to any potential legal liability. On the other hand, if you create a blog and want to invite people to come look at your ideas, no one can stop you from doing that. ;)

  39. This is a bit late, but yes, there will ALWAYS be a Lucius Heinous. Couldn’t be Miseryville without him!

    Heloise is many things…

    Cheers,
    Edward

  40. Hello! I just want to say that I LOVE Star academy!! I can’t wait for the next novel to come out!!! SUPER EXCITED!!! Oh and just so you know, there are three reasons why I like this book:
    1.My best friend’s name is amanda Forsythe! :)
    2. I love how you added a little bit of a twist and orginality to the story with the whole alien thing
    3. ITS JUST AMAZING!!! XD

    Pleasssse write back!! I’d love to hear from one of my favourite authors!!! :D

    PS. I’ve never watched Jimmy Two Shoes, but I’ll watch it, cause I’m sure a great author like you can probably come up with a pretty amazing show :)

  41. Thanks, Emelia! I’m writing like crazy trying to get the first draft of the sequel finished in the next ten days, so that’s very inspiring to hear! Cheers, Edward

  42. Hi again, it is me again, it is good of seeing you again.

    You know I am so sick of that policy. Every people, author, company has told me the same policy all the time I try to send them ideas. You know if people read the opinions of their fans the might found a way to get a better result in their work. But I do not blame you please do not misunderstand this.

    Even thought I would be glad to share mi ideas, I see that you can t read them, but even with my ideas you would just do great in season 2 of JTS. I also hope that your dream of finishing your novel will come true.

    And of course that if you ever need help with the world of Jimmy Two-shoes, I will be glad to help.

    I hope to see season 2 and more about your novel soon. Good Luck.
    Your friend Francis.

    I also have some questions, if you do not mind to respond.

    1) Will Lucius the First appear at the cartoon?
    2) Will Jimmy and Heloise end together?
    3) Is Heloise a boy a girl or an old woman? (since I saw that she might use dentures in”There is Always hiccups” or this part of the episode only a humor detail.)
    4) In the episode “SpewTube” I appears that Lucius the Second have legs, but in the episode “Pop-sicles” appears as a ghost what happen.
    5) There is going to be a season 2?
    6) Is there going to be any new characters. (Because I invented 2 new villains that you may want hear, but since the policy does not allow you to read about them so only if you want I can tell you)

    Well that is all. You can always count on me.

  43. Hi Francis!

    Good to hear from you. I can answer some of your questions, but not all of them as it would give away some surprises that we want to keep!

    First, there definitely is a Season 2, and I think it’s even better than season 1. It has begun airing already in Canada on Teletoon. I’m not sure when the season begins in the U.S. That will be up to Disney. As for the rest of the world, it will be up to the various other broadcasters in those territories.

    Lucius the First might quite possibly appear at some time again (you’ll have to watch to find out!). Heloise is definitely a girl. She may be an “old” girl however… sort of in a state of limbo, never getting any older in appearance, like a vampire – though she’s so inventive, she would never need fangs to cause mischief!

    Because Miseryville is such a surreal, alternate reality, you could have legs or dentures one day, then the next day -depending on Lucius’s mood -you might find yourself with wheels. There may be some new characters, but that means extra work for the designers, so we try to keep it to as few new characters as possible.

    As for Heloise and Jimmy ending up together. Well, it could happen. But then again, it might not… ;) It’s hard to predict what they’ll do next!

    Cheers,
    Edward

  44. So you are telling me that Heloise is an old woman, since I believe she is 8-14 years old or is she a 400 years old like myths says.

    Also I have read the rumors that Heloise is kind of demon or a naga (Half-snake, half-human) is it true?

    And wait a second Lucius controls how people can be? WOW I never thought something like that could happen! I guess that is one of the episodes you created or you can create!

    ALSO I have read that the original cartoon was suppose to be about Jimmy being tortured in Hell by Lucifer(Lucius) and the serial-killer we know as Heloise.

  45. Heloise will always be 14-ish, no matter how old she gets in years. I like your naga suggestion. She is a bit of a shape-shifter, so might be able to do that on occasion…

    Lucius has quite remarkable powers, but doesn’t use them most of them time, because he likes to think he’s so smart that he can control a situation without using them. As for the limits of those powers… well, keep watching!

    Can’t comment on your final question. Red States and all, if you catch my drift….

  46. O.K. I just gotten thank-you.
    Also since my characters and ideas are not going to be used it does not matter if only post 2 of my own characters is it?
    Well here goes nothing!

    Melody: She is the twin sister of Heloise, she wears a blue dress and has 2 ponytails, and has brown hair. She is as evil as here sister but most of the time she can pretend to be cute, and people actually believe it. Also she is a witch, she can cast spells very powerful that everyone trembles. Still she has a pointed hat but does not like to used it all the time. Also she is the tyrant ruler of ” Wierdville” (This place is like Miseryville except that the place is indeed very miserable, and his habitants are: Ghost and nerds guys, also a bit of blood-thirsty monsters) But I believe that is another story.

    Johnny Four-amrs: An evil clone from Jimmy (From the Episode TOO MANY JIMMIES) He is probably the smartest one of all the Himmies including the real Jimmy. As his name says he has an extra pair of arms, Also he can change form and can fart spiderwebs. Besides his four arms, his appearance also is different: He has a red T-shirt, a pair of brown jeans, red shoes, and black hair, and no evil clone is complete without a little french like mustache. He is also the boyfriend of Melody they both meet in one of my episodes. He usually calls Jimmy “Little brother”.

    I also have another question: ¿Is Jimmy a 14 years old boy, or is he in a state of Limbo?

    I HOPE YOU LIKE THE IDEAS
    (NOTE: I ONLY INCLUDE THEM FOR ENTERTAINMENT!)
    I HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR COMMENTS. THANKS
    CHEERS, FRANCIS

  47. Francis, I especially like Johnny Four Arms. There was an ancient “On the Road” movie that I saw when I was a kid that showed a four-armed Vishnu slapping someone (Bob Hope?) in the face over and over again. It terrified me when I was five! So I’m very partial to creepy four-armed characters! Cheers, Edward

  48. OH! Sorry about brining you bad memories still I forgot to tell you some details of the character.

    Johnny: He has a strange way of making people suffer, he does pranks on them like one episode he uses an amount of disgusting stuff from the sewers to make the biggest Smelly bomb ever. Also normally all of his pranks turn against him most of the time. He also trying to escape Lucius henchman he uses a can of gassy beams to make a smoke(fart) cloud to escape. And he dislikes bad jokes.

    STILL SORRY FROM THIS CHARACTER, BUT ALSO I BELIEVE THAT THE CARTOON SHOWS THE UNEXPECTED.
    So if you want take the characters and use them as your own.
    Remember I will always be here to help, and I will be glad to do it.
    (Besides I can t wait for season 2)
    CHEERS, FRANCIS

  49. I just finished watching the first season of Jimmy Two Shoes and I have to say that I was impressed! Probably the bounciest, most energetic flash animation that has ever graced my eyeballs! I really dug Heloise, she’s a pretty crazy character! Another favorite of mine was the bickering between Lucious and Samy Garvin, kind of brought back fond memories of a Megatron and Starscream arguing back and forth.

    There is a couple questions that I have to ask and I’m not sure that you’ll be able to answer them but here goes; how many seasons do you plan on Jimmy Two Shoes having and will it have an actual ending episode? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a series end without an actual ending that sums everything up, it depresses me every time because we will never know what happened to the characters in the end game.

    Also-Lucious has “hidden” powers and abilities?!?
    This I have to see!

  50. Hey Edward, it is me again I have look at season 2 new intro and I must say. ¡Brilliant! this intro is extraordinary, and if the intro is good then I can´t wait to see the new season it will be 10 times better.

    By the way if you still want to hear about my ideas be free to answer me and of course I will post them. But if you do not want then it is okay I can still tell you tips or more characters.

  51. Hi there Edward it is me again Francis, I have a new character.

    He is called Randall Peterson, also known as R.P. for others. Ranadall is a combination between a wizard and the death. He is a little taller than Jimmy and he is 15 and he is and alchemist he normally uses bones to cast his magic and he also uses some machines to make magic as well. He lives in Miseryville graveyard since he is the gravedigger. He lives in a green mansion that is guarded by his pet Dustball (which is a giant snake that is very kind to his master but it dislikes strangers.) Also he has a garden which is very beautiful and likes a plant called “Petunia” , and of course he makes the graveyard look a little with “life” and he loves to make sculptures.

    He likes to sell pranks to Jimmy and Johnny, also he is very kind and smart but sometimes he can be pretty dumb. He gets along with Jimmy and Beezy, but he does not get to well with Heloise since he believes that the alchemy is the only science, but still he helps in Heloise inventions. One of his favorites quotes is : “What in sweet chicken!!!”

    He wears a freen robe that hides his face and it shows his skeletal hands (his uses this one in public.) while in his house he uses the same robes except that he has a hat on his head that covers his face. And every time some takes away his robe or hat, he appears using a mask, also he changes mask when people try to take away the first mask or tries again to take his hat or robe.

    I HOPE YOU LIKE THE GUY ALSO HE APPEARS IN SOME OF MY EPISODES. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE JUST WRITE ME.

    CHEERS FRANCIS

  52. Hey Francis. Randall sounds pretty creepy… which means I love him! You’ve got a lot of great ideas. Ever thought about developing them into your own series?
    Cheers,
    Edward

  53. Hey Robert, Glad you like season 2! Honestly, it’s my fave so far.

    We don’t know how many seasons we will have, though we’d all like to keep it going as long as possible, because it’s so much much fun. But usually you don’t know when you’ve written your last show, because (like the Simpsons) you keep going for as long as people want to watch. If the networks decide to cancel your show, they usually do it when the current season is on the air, but the next season hasn’t started yet. So you don’t actually know when your last episode is until it’s too late to write it. There are exceptions – such as Seinfeld. I hope we will get to choose when our last episode will be. And I hope it’s at least 10 years down the road, because I’m enjoying this!
    Cheers,
    Edward

  54. It is a great honor that an excellent writer like you tell me that.
    Well yes I have, but there are problems you see I have been writing a book and it is kind of difficult…but it is fun, still every time I think of any idea it always goes better in any great cartoon such as yours.

    I have also created many ideas for other cartoons, such as : Sonic X, since they never really ended the story I have been creating the new season but since the ones who created Sonic X are Japanese they really not accept my ideas.

    Besides it is like a hobby for me to create new episode for cartoons I like, that is why I am giving you this ideas, besides it would be an honor that someone ask me to help in his cartoons.

    Well I think that explains it. Still if you want new characters or new episodes ideas for the cartoon you know were to find me.

    KEEP DOING GREAT
    CHEERS, YOUR FRIEND
    FRANCIS

    Keep up the great work buddy.

    Your fan,
    Ken

  58. I have read and watched that season 2 is already in air. Do you know when will it be ready Edward here in Guatemala?

    Also I gota new trio of villains, wanna hear:

    Here it goes.

    Reggie Mac Cheese: He is an evil raw cheese monster that dress like a cowboy and has a rare Texas accent. Besides he dislikes everything that is good, he also has a bad temperament that when he gets to angry he puts himself in fire and melt himself. He likes to use a revolver that throws hot cheese that makes people skin melt.
    He also has 3 henchmen which he hates, but use them in his goal to rule Miseryville.

    General Bogger: He is a giant walking boggier that commands Reggie s raw goblins army. He got an excellent taste for art, and he dislikes when people says that his art suck. He also dislikes his boss, but he has to obey him since he also wants to rule the world. He is very though and he is larger than his boss.

    Anon Tukey: Also this means Anonymous Turkey: He is what is left of the thanksgiving Turkey, using bone parts of other meals he built a new body and plans his revenge upon people. He resembles a dry bones except that he does not have a shell and he has esqueletical wings and the head of a fish. He is pretty mean he likes to scare people and of course he is very smart but sometimes he can say really dumb things. He joined forces with Reggie and Bogger so that he can get his rightful revenge upon people that eats Turkey.

    Smelly: He is like the shadow of Reggie since Smelly is a ball of disgusting gas he pretty likes Reggie s raw smell. Reggie dislikes Smelly but he is maybe the most loyal of all his henchmen. Smelly is really kind and dumb.

    Miho: The super intelligent rat pet of Reggie. He is naturally evil he is the master mind behind every of Reggie s plans, he dislikes his master but the only reason he stays with him is because Reggie is cheese and always Miho steal a part from Reggie. He is a brown rat with and eye patch in his left eye and in his right eye he has an glass monocle. He is pretty thought and mean to everyone he wants to rule the world someday.

    I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, AND HOPE THEY HELP YOU IN ONE OF JIMMY TWO-SHOES EPISODE.

    KEEP DOING GREAT
    YOUR FRIEND FRANCIS
    CHEERS.

  59. Mucho thanks for the kind words, Ken.

  60. Hey Francis,

    Those are some sick and twisted characters! Great stuff!
    I’m not sure who the broadcaster is in Guatemala. I presume it is Nickelodeon, since I believe they have the rights for Latin-America.
    Since season 2 is already on the air here in Canada, I suspect it will be in Guatemala soon.
    Cheers,
    Edward

  61. Hi, Thanks, and I’m glad that you’re enjoying the show. It’s great to get positive feedback.

    I’m still finishing up the sequel to my novel STAR Academy (I meant to have it done by now, but life keeps intruding on my work – I’m sure you know the feeling) and then I’m finishing up a pilot script for a new series over the next two weeks. Then when things calm down, I’m looking forward to answering your questions and some other ones that I’ve been receiving.

    Cheers,
    Edward

  65. waiting….. =)

  66. me too…and wating your reply , if you have a chance xD

  67. Not pushy at all, ale, but I think my answer got lost somewhere, so here it is again, sort of. I think Nickelodeon is the broadcaster for all of Latin America (I think their Latin-America office is based in Miami – that’s interesting, isn’t it? Shows how big of a Latino community Miami now has). I’ll let you know as soon as I find anything out. Cheers, E

  68. Yep that’s true what you said about Miami. I live in Miami and the majority of the people I see in the streets are Latino. In fact my family originated in South America and I’m the first born American in the family.

  69. ok , thank you and… can you answer the other questions pliss I’ll be happy to receive your answers and I am now to know that answer my comments =)

  70. Hi there Edward I have some ideas you might like:
    I will only give you the name and say if a special character appears on it and a brief description.
    1.BRAINS ON THE LOSE: Jimmy lose his brain and Beezy and Heloise must find (Lucius adopts Jimmy s brain believing is a dog, and Jimmy s body goes thru town and everyone believe he is a zombie)

    1.MEET THE HEINOUS: Lucius frees his relatives to celebrate the foundation day of Miseryville.

    2. INCREDIBLE MR. B: Beezy becomes a wizard.
    2. WAR OF SISTER: First appearance of Melody.

    3.THAT OTHER GUY: First appearance of Johnny.
    3.CHANGE DAY: Everyone began to change in his appearance.

    4. MISS MISERY: Jimmy helps Saffi to become a civilized woman for the contest.
    4. TWISTED HORNS: Lucius becomes so angry that suffers a horn twisting and becomes crazy.

    5. MISERY FOR DUMMIES: Lucius builds a school to educate Jimmy to be Miserable.
    5. NO SHOES, NO SHIRTS, NO JIMMY: Lucius forbids Jimmy to buy any MiseryInc. product.

    I still have more if you want

  71. I have some ideas too, but no name, this is what I have

    1. Jez Heloise helps to get the attention of jimmy

    2. Christmas episode

    3. An episode where jimmy future traveling, and Heloise beezy look like adults and maybe if jimmy and Heloise to marry and have children xD

    4. I like the idea of Miss misery, but so, Heloise is tired of everyone in miservilley say it is tough but not too feminine, and also to get the attention of jimmy, she decides to train to enter the contest.

    5. Music kind episode, Jimmy, beezy Heloise and form a band as that of cold day in miservilley and enter a contest, or one where all sing, you see that right now those shows are very popular musical glee, victorious, or the total drama of world tour.

    7. An idea that I liked, was fanfiction, Jimmy lost his memory, and lucius is controlled by evil and suffering to beezy and Heloise, and they try to get him back to normal.

    8. Heloise meets another guy like Jimmy and falls in love and begin dating, and begins to ignore and beezy jimmy, unaware that this young man is a clone made with the DNA of the machine jimmy Heloise lent jimmy in the episode too many jimmys, created by lucius Heloise to forget jimmy and focus more on creating inventions.

    those are my ideas I have, for the moment except for fanfiction that is not mine, well I hope you see them and tell me what you think and see if I can think of more, greetings = D

    FRANCIS!!!

  73. thanks , i hope have more ideas tooo, and the reply of edward xD

  74. yes, tell me the episode, i will upload more ideas =)

  75. Well I guess that I can and also I hope Edward like the ideas.

    MISS MISERY

    Lucius declares a competition for women only called “MISS MISERY” the won that win will receive 1,000,000 bucks, get to rule Miseryville for one day and a surprise. With this all woman in Miseryville put on fancy dresses perfume and make up. Jimmy and Beezy notice while going to see Saffi since Beezy wanted to invite her to a date. But when they reach Saffi s house they find her crying. Both guys ask why is she crying, she tells them that she wants to participate in the contest but since she always crash stuff and eats everything Lucius forbid her to participate until she learsn how to be a polite woman. So Jimmy and Beezy began to research and train Saffi so that she can become a decent woman, also Heloise participates (so that she can Jimmy s attention) but of course every time Heloise tell him about she participating both Jimmy and Beezy began laughing about it so Heloise wants to prove them that she can also be delicate. So Jimmy and Beezy succeed in transforming Saffi into a polite woman just int ime for the contest.

    Lucius reveals that he would be a judge along with Jimmy and Beezy, so the ladies must first pass over a detector to check if they do not have devices or it is a guy disguise like a woman, and of course Heloise carries with her a lot of weapons and Sammy tried to disguise like a woman. Also Lucius want Jez to win so he decides to take out the other contestants, and so he did in every face of the contest a woman gut smashed by a giant rock, or elephant, throw away in a canon, or fell in a floor trap. So it goes on and on until the last event where there are only 3 contestants: Jez, Saffi, and Heloise. So the last face is a coliseum battle just like gladiators. But before it begins Lucius reavels the secret prize which is that the first place will get a date with Lucius maybe even get married, and for the second and third place they get a date with Jimmy or Beezy. So this results shocking and disgusting for the 3 girls, while they were chosing their weapons, Heloise gets confused (or she decides to lose and get a date with Jimmy, or rule Miseriville get rich and have a date with Lucius.) So since the answer is so clear she pulls a rope and a giant stone fall on here. So the encounter takes to Saffi and Jez but there was a problem Jez dislikes Lucius but she wants the big bucks, and Saffi does not longer do anything like fighting. So Beezy convince Saffi to fight: for honor, for glory, and for yogurt. So the old Saffi gets back and beat up Jez, (which Lucius did not like) So the at the end Jimmy and Heloise get their date, Jez get back to her home since, she dislikes Beezy and Beezy was with Saffi and Lucius was their waitress. At the end Beezy says

    Beezy:”There is nothing best than the send date,(giggles) and kiss Saffi in the cheek.

    I hope you like it ale, besides I am still waiting for Mr. E s opinion.
    CHEERS YOUR FRIEND
    FRANCIS

  76. good idea, i hope to have more and the reply and opinion of edward

  77. Francis, you have some very funny ideas here and in your other emails. Have you taken any television writing courses? If not, I think you should consider it. The best way to go about writing for television would be to write some “spec scripts” then submit them to an agent who can represent you.

    I’ve been really busy with a few new projects, so I haven’t able to check in on the blog site as much as I’d like to. In the past month, I’ve been finishing the sequel to “STAR Academy” (done at last!) and writing the pilot script for an animated comedy series of mine that has been optioned. Also a new science series for TVO here in Canada. But when I have a little more time (and that should be sooner rather than later) I will post some writers’ resources on my site. I think that maybe you and some of the other imaginative people who have been writing on this blog might be interested in seeing what’s involved in becoming a television writer. Does that sound interesting to anyone? Cheers, Edward
    Edward

  78. Well thanks but still I got questions about this “spec scripts” since I do not know what it is or how it does I will not agree to anything until I got all the information.
    Besides
    1.Is it safe?
    2. Can I trust the guy I am writing to?
    3. Will I need to pay him or her?
    4. Is this a job, cuase if it is I am no interested since I am only 16?
    5.Besides I only this by fun?
    6. Those this means my name will appear at the episode?
    7. I am happy about this but I prefer that some like you Mr. E took my ideas since I do trust you.
    8. I will look wait for the rest of the information
    9. Besides I am not so sure.

    But you know that is shocking since no people ever gave me the chance to publicize my ideas. Maybe I will but if you agree to help.

    Thanks for all
    CHEERS
    FRANCIS
