Uh-Oh! Yogi Bear got BEANED with just a itty-bitty
baby boulder after it fell on top of his head only
for THAT STONE to get itself shattered!

Hello, All 2D Animation Fans and All You Other 2D Animation Fans with Autism!! Michael Igafo-Te'o here with ex-CEL-ent NEWS on my Blog for animator's sake!: I've went on a successful interview with Maria of the ANCA Autism Society in New York (and Canada too!) on Friday, February 19th, 2016 (first GOOD interview was with Natalie Priest thru Skype in January 2016!!) and, during that interview, I was told by Maria that she wanted me to create and produce a traditional 2D hand-drawn animated cartoon short film series for her television show with some wonderful characters with autism! That means "Instead of Toon Mice like Bancy McMouser and Toon Rats like Toby Ratwaller, There is actually an animated all-human cast of children of all ages with Autism, Tweens, Preteens and Teens with Autism (?) with kind-loving parents, grandparents and relatives too!" INSANE, Isn't It, Folks? But Don't Worry! Bancy McMouser and his Pals will be back in time for their cartoon comeback after their College-era "Bancy and Company" cartoons STILL in production starting with "One Crazy Date to Roller Skate" until I graduate from the Torrant and Kit Young Centers on Late May 2020 (or Early June 2020?) for Animator's Sake!!!

My Own Character Layout Sketch of The Stanford Family...
...in GORGEOUS TECHNICOLOR!!!
(From Left to Right: Lewis and Linda the 10-year old twins,
Daniel a.k.a. "Danny" the 12-year old son (and eldest child of
the family!), Tyler the Dad and Macy the Mom!!!)

Here's the info on The Stanford Family that will be the lead characters for what I call "The Autism Toons Project"!!:

Lewis and Linda Stanford are 10-year old twins who were diagnosed with Autism during their third birthday even though they already began to speak at age three-and-a-half but Lewis has brunette (brown) hair and Linda has dark (black) velvet hair and they make a good pair of twin siblings and they love art, music, cartoons, sports of all sorts, stuff in the community, roller skating, ice skating, physical activities and, yes, dancing! These 10-year old autistic twins are excellent at everything just like their entire family and, yes, the love model railroading too! Daniel "Danny" Stanford is Lewis and Linda's 12-year old older brother with Asperger's Syndrome but with dark (black) velvet hair! Also, he loves to draw, he loves cartoons he loves model railroading just like his 10-year old twin siblings but he also does good in physical activity with his family such as Bowling, Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, Walking, Jogging, Running, Bike Riding, Roller Skating and even Dancing to a catchy tune! Tyler Stanford is the father of the Stanford family with dark (black) velvet hair and a small goatee on his chin and loves bowling, baseball, and other sports along with helping others including his children and his wife with helping children of all ages with Autism or Asperger's or ADHD or other special needs and disabilities to understand situations such as being sensitive to loud noises, being polite everywhere (and anytime!), clean up after themselves, remembering to not pollute anymore (I.E. Recycling and Saving Wildlife Animals too!), how to dance better, how to roller skate better, how to ice skate better, how to play better at sports of any kind, minding your good manners and, yes, how to be a good sport. Macy Stanford is the mother with brunette (brown) hair just like his 10-year old son (Lewis) but she wears a two-toned Red-colored outfit (Dark Red-and-Light Red Dress with a picture of a baseball on the front and a Belt with buckle around her waist, Darker Red Tights and even Socks with Pink-and-White Converse Sneakers too!) and, yes, she loves the same as her husband and their children but, sometimes, she can be a little bit clumsy at roller skating and dancing and sometimes ice skating until her husband and children taught her to do those three important things better!!

And, to go with my character layout sketch in COLOR is its matching "size comparison chart" model sheet drawn on 12-field ACME-punched animation paper using blue Prismacolor Col-Erase pencils for the construction lines and Palomino Blackwing pencils ("Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed!") to tie down the same drawing! and Here it is, on my blog for "animator's sake"!!!
