Yesterday I saw one of these “A character a day” challenges being passed around different groups on drawing. Pretty cool stuff. You’re supposed to draw a new toon each day and share it with your peers.

I’ll be recording a few lines from each character in an attempt to come as close as possible to the tone, cadence, accent and all-around feel of the original voice.
