Our artist, Tilian Wagner sent me this as a Christmas card and I thought I'd share it!
Merry Christmas from your friends at 3twins.net!

So, now that all 3 parts of "Revenge" have gone online, I can freely discuss some of my thoughts about this story. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I wrote "Revenge" in more than one setting. I had the idea for the Venom parody story and Man-Hat creation from the start but didn't know what to do after that, so it sat incomplete for a while. Then I thought about what if we could do something akin to zombies, but in the "family friendly" 3twins way. And I came up with the idea of the Man-Hat shooting mind control candy out into the city on Halloween night that would turn the trick-or-treating kids into zombies.
So, if you've watched part 2 of "Revenge of the Big Giant Pumpkin Headed Man" you know that a new superhero was introduced, The Spectacular Cider-Man. This is the character I spoke of as the idea that Steve and Andy didn't think would work. He is only briefly in part 2 but part 3 will feature him much more prominently. I think Tom Cox did an excellent job with the Russian accent as well as the characterization. In case you're concerned that we're creating far too many superheroes, I ask you to save that critique until after viewing the final part of this story next week.
Indy-Goo?
For now we don't have very many installments of our PodCast - KudeeCast, but Jason plans on having a new installment on a regular basis. Also we are working on something new for Star Fetched. The animation process takes a very long time. Most of the animation on 3twins.net has been executed by me, someone who knows nothing about animation. If you watch the Midieville Shorts, starting with The Marvin and Gidju Saga and ending with Duel part 1 you will see that I did learn some things along the way, however it is still a very long arduous process. All this being taken into consideration we decided to rewrite the pilot of Star Fetched into an audio drama. Once we re-record all the character audio and remix the effects track, it will sound more like a classic radio serial, complete with a non-interactive narrator (unlike the Narrator from Hatman & Indigo who is an actual character). We will be offering this new version of Star Fetched as a pod cast along with KudeeCast. If Star Fetched does well as an audio drama, you may see the return of Midieville in a similar fashion.
Today, October 6th, is official Mad Hatter day! Andy asked me to blog something about the Mad Hatter today, but I can't really think of anything to talk about. I guess I could tease that the still upcoming Ion Bunny #4 features our version of the Mad Hatter. If you recall Ion Bunny #2 directly followed the events of Hatman #19 and The Mad Hatter fell into Ion Bunny's rabbit hole, mistaking him for March Hare.
is that he can pull anything he wants out of his hat/head, so I thought that maybe it would be that he would have arms that came out of his hat and did this, instead of him having to reach in with his own arms. Also, to set him apart visually, I thought it would be neat if he were a darker gray and had an orange tie, cape and hat ribbon/mouth. To see if this would look good, I took an image of Hatman that Steve had drawn for Hatman: issue 28 and recolored it (pictured to the right).
Hatmaniacs,
The Return of The Big Giant Pumpkin Headed Man was the second installment in our Pumpkin Man Sub-Saga (which from here out I will refer to simply as "Return". This story featured the return of not only the Pumpkin Man, but a throw away joke character from Issue 3, The Badger. The Badger was intended to be an obvious parody of Wolverine and we loved him so much that we decided to bring him back as a reoccurring character. Since we had previously established that our heroes should keep a good distance from Regular Man, this story gave us a good opportunity to feature The Badger and take a look into his origin.
So, in two short days Hatman will be back on 3twins.net! If you've followed our posts with any regularity, you are probably aware that the soon to post issue has been in the works for quite some time!
Today I finished editing KudeeCast 3: BirFday Special, a podcast Steve, Andy and I recorded on our (Andy and me) 30th Birthday, July 20. It took a while for Steve to get me the audio file, and then I had some school to wade through before I could tackle it, but it is done and Andy should have it online either tonight or tomorrow! So, be sure to check it out! We mainly discuss our thoughts on Pixar movies.
I've been a fan of online TV and movie reviews for a while now, so I'm finally going to start doing a couple. To be a little different than the masses I've decided to focus not only on the content but also the boxes and special features as well. I personally own all of the available seasons of The Simpsons, Frasier, and Futurama, so I might start with doing episode by episode reviews of those in addition to some of my favorite movies. I'm going to attempt to be a kinder critic than most out there, talking about stuff I like, instead of stuff I don't.
Okay, so it's been a long time since we posted anything new on the site or this blog. But we've been working on some new stuff, I promise! We have all of the Halloween issues ready to roll for this fall! Plus, a character commentary on The Hatman Clause featuring Indigo and The Badger! We're also working on turning Midieville and Star Fetched into audio podcasts! We have a lot of stories ready for both of those shows and we want to help ease your 3twins withdrawals.
Things have started to collect dust on the 3twins.net site and we apologize for that. I wanted to post a little note to whomever reads this that we will be keeping 3twins.net on hold for a while. I had wanted to post the completed Halloween issues of Hatman & Indigo, but that is most likely going to wait until Halloween this year.
