One of my favorite Marvel/Spider-Man writers is a fan of a show I worked on. I’m so honored! 🥹

Binged SOLAR OPPOSITES Season 6.

The final episodes did a great job of putting a nice bow on the entire series.

Excellent use of The Wall... with a bit I didn't see coming, but made perfect sense. Loved that!

And Episode 5 might have been one of my favorite episodes of the whole run.

Thanks for watching and supporting us, Dan! ✨ It really means a lot. The crew and cast really put the work in and got to do many cool things that lots of other shows don’t get to do.

It’s super wholesome, while still getting a lot of laughs out of me.

William Ball @willbanimating.bsky.social · 3d

Kind of funny how this guy is so simple in design yet he’s one of the most iconic and quotable characters in adult animation

Anyone else ever had that moment when you’re experimenting with your drawings and discover a new rendering style that really clicks with you? 🔥

I’m happy to see folks in the wild who still talk about Little Demon. That show was really ramping up before getting axed. It was a fun show to work on and fun memories were made with a fun crew!

🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸 @thehorrorguru.bsky.social · Sep 22

Little Demon (2022) was an animated horror comedy show on FX that was both hilarious & gory.

It featured Lucy DeVito as Chrissy, the daughter of the Devil played by her father Danny DeVito.

Her mother Laura, a demon slaying witch, was voiced by Aubrey Plaza.
