Hi Animan

I just wanted to write this quick note to say, thank you very much for making these movies. I am a huge fan of your work and I will continue to support you by buying every new one that you make. These videos have actually helped me more than I could explain. I can't wait to see The Country Club, I hope it's available soon, Hell I would even pay extra to get it right now.

Anyway keep up the great work and if there is anything I can do as a fan to make your job easier and produce more please let me know.
Thanks.

Here's my answer:
Hi
Thank you for buying the Animan movies. Your support provides me with the time and resources to keep trying new things and push the boundaries even further.

If Country Club were already finished, I'd be happy to send it to you right now. But I'm still working on the last stages: fixing drawing mistakes that crept in, re-doing a few scenes that just aren't hot enough, composing and recording music, and adding voices. If I do these things well, it will be a satisfying experience for everyone.

You mentioned that my movies had helped you. I'd like to hear more about that, if you do not mind.

Thanks again for being such a wonderful fan. I greatly appreciate it.

Animan

The short version of the story is that I was going thru a rough period in my life and whenever I would be feeling down, I would watch most if not all of your videos in one sitting and they would def bring me back to feeling better, my favorite 3 so far are Junior College, Lex Stern MD and GI Bananas. I like the other ones too it's just I watch those the most.
It's also great to see how far more advanced and detailed they have become. The trailer for the Country Club is amazing. Again your attention to detail is noticed (well at least by me).

Animan's Conclusion
I am overjoyed to learn that my movies helped to uplift someone who was feeling down. Troubles can come in all types and sizes, and they are a part of life. Being gay in a so-called "straight world" has always been a very stressful endeavor. At times, some of us almost begin to believe what "they" tell us--that we're unworthy, that we're bad, etc. As long as I (Animan) am around to make movies, I intend to portray us as good, happy, good-feeling and optimistic beings who are very worthy to be here.
