Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm currently selling 0 books and earning $2580 a month on my writing. Patreon subscriptions.

Income, then prestige imo. Copies sold is less important than a foundation to make more art, no?

I think I caught this a long time ago, and yes?

i do find the avatar movies super interesting in how they take their environmental message to heart and conscientiously clean up after themselves in your brain when they're done
