Charbucks Chapter One

When Starbucks were suddenly popping out all over, in 1998, I wrote/animated an episodic satire of it all in gif animation. Now you get to see it in youtube glory. If you'd like to see more of the story, which takes the girls all the way to Mesquite, Nevada, please say so!

I love Anita's valley girl voice. Very cool.

It's a great computer voice, text to speech, which is alas no longer available.

I'd love to see more! I can see that you seem to be heavily influenced by Peter Maxx.

[laughingsal]

Growing up when I did, it was impossible not to be influenced by him!

I've always been fascinated by the 70's. In all honesty, I hate the time I was born into. I look at all the old photo albums from when my dad was my age and it makes me more then a little sad. I wish I had been a teen in that time when you could just walk down the street and pay two bucks to see a double feature and then walk a few blocks to have pizza afterward. Not like now. It's all about "don't let your daughter roam the neighborhood alone" and "shelter your kids from everything".

That's interesting, Battybribri. The funny thing about it is that for some baby boomers, there was a feeling the party was already over when they were growing up!

great to see anita back!

Someone should alert the FBI. But they must already know. Our government and the coffee industry might be conspiring against the average coffee drinker right now.

I definitely vote for more...are you using a computerized voice program for these newer shorts?

Ah, a little homage to "Bimbo's Initiation" towards the end there- kudos from one Fleischerphile to another!
