Hey everyone... well at least the three of you... Just wanted to let you know that the Planet Lucy Press Website is on the way and the sooner the better I say! It will include a thirty page "trailer" for Ragmop in the gallery as well as other stuff about my life and art such as it is. Keep your fingers crossed and hope that the techno-geek gods smile upon me. The countdown has begun. Have a great day. Peace and love to all.

Writer, Director, Actor, Cartoonist, Publisher, Storyboard Artist, Movie Extra… Who is Rob Walton? Hailing from the frozen tundra of East Toronto, I’ve been working in the Animation Biz since 1991 when I joined Nelvana’s design department to do my part in bringing fifty-two episodes of Beetlejuice to television. In 1994 I began storyboarding full time. I became an Assistant Director in 1997 and made the move to Supervising Director in 2000 on Nelvana’s “Committed” starring Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara. As well as my work in animation, I have written and drawn several comic book series, most notably, “The Devil’s Hammer” a Grendel Tale for Dark Horse in 1993, and my own self-published political and social satire, “Ragmop,” from 1995-1997 for which I earned two Eisner Award Nominations. I am currently re-editing and updating Ragmop as a single volume, 350 page graphic novel for publication in October of 2006. I have written four un-produced screenplays, two un-produced television pilots for animation, one novel in progress, and countless wayward comic book scripts for Marvel and DC. Needless to say, I take rejection well.

Rob -
I am SO excited about the Ragmop graphic novel, Ragmop is my favorite comic of all time. I can't wait to see the website.
Hey Alister and John,
I'm glad everyone seems as excited as I am about the return of Ragmop. Mr. Bissette just read the complete story and called it "fucking brilliant." I've had a great time revisiting the story and updating it to our current troubled times. It was a blast to write and draw the ending and fulfill my promise to finish the damn book I made ten years ago. Everything in its time. I believe now is the time for Ragmop. I hope you'll all agree.
