Animated Stephan
May 10, 2010You know your friends have too much time on their hands when they start making animated shows about you.
In this case, the friend is Mark Tatulli, creator of the comic strip “Lio.” And he has made me the star of my own animated series.
In less than one day, he has produced four separate installments. At this rate, he’ll have 1,200 by year-end.
My character appears to have a singular obsession, which I’ll let you see for yourself. I’d object, but it’s so accurate, I can only cry.
To see all four parts, click HERE.
By the way, he made the animations at this site that lets you create your own animated movies in a matter of minutes. It’s www.xtranormal.com. It’s very fun. So if you want, please create your own movies about me and I will link to them here. Extra points if you make fun of Mark or portray me in a more flattering light.
Dean Booth used to make animations of “Mary Worth” episodes at that site. I guess he got tired of doing it. Hopefully, Mark will as well.
Lío. Hmph. The comic strip that’s so weird absolutely nobody “gets it” (the paper here discontinued it a couple of months ago.
I wouldn’t take anything he does very seriously.
I found it highly amusing !
OMG!!! I cannot stop laughing. Very very funny!!!
Oh, my goodness, the videos are so hilarious! I love Lio!(and Pearls Before Swine of course.) That’s really cool how comic strip creators are friends in real life.
Don’t worry Stephan, everybody has their thing. “Join us next week where Stephan meets ex-president Bill Clinton!”
Awesome. Tatulli for the win! Now I’m looking forward to the Pastis revenge on Tatulli.
Why isn’t your hat on backwards? Is it because that would make it harder to take your shirt off?
Haha, he is a genius! A little less then you anyway
The voices sound so robotic, it makes what they’re saying all the more hilarious. I’m sorta glad they didn’t show you with your shirt off.

Here’s my video if you want to see it. Hope you enjoy it.
Wow, that was special. Any thoughts on revenge?

That’s my attempt. Sorry Stephan but it was fun!
The cartoons are hilarious because I feel like I’ve had those same conversations with creepy guys at bars more than once. Maybe I should start going to different bars…
I made a video too. It’s kinda mean. I’m sorry, Stephan.

Alrighty, I’ve decided to use flattery. Here’s my video. http://www.xtranormal.com/profile/2506649/
EPIC.
Revenge? Revenge is a dish best served cold. There’s food for thought. I say Stephan sicks Rat on Mark.
Being a fan of both Pearls and Lio I found this hysterical.
Stephan, I want to see you with your shirt off. In fact, I’m taking mine off now.
I’m confused… do you want to take your shirt off?
huh
Here’s my first effort, probably no extra points.

Those were brilliant movies
There were signs all along that Stephan was a stalker. Just ask Charles Shultz. Keep you shirt on buddy. LOL!!!
I liked Judah Ben-Hur’s video best. Nobody wanted to take their shirts off.
This is made in the spirit of your comic:

oh, that’s just wrong.
I admit I did LMAO the first one or two. But after a while…wow…
This is what your friends do? Good grief
…holy Christ, my God…
In the superhero vein, but adapted to my own line of work: http://www.xtranormal.com/profile/2510691/

Here’s another one I made for you. A little more down to Earth.

Part 5 by mark in the steamroom is by far the funniest.
I think it would be much funnier to see you in a brick film, Pastis.

That’s my shot at it. I made a very nasty/sexual joke at your expense, but I figured that you didn’t have much dignity left anyway after the Tatulli vids
JK, Stephan–much respect.
…welll….
I think that I accomplished all the goals that you laid out, here. Course, I can’t promise you that you’ll think it’s funny. But I tried.

I made a movie.The interface was kind of confusing, so I’m not the best cinematographer. Hope you like it and if you have time to see it and reply, let me know what you think!

Reviews from the top critics:
“…fun filled for the whole family….” “you’ll fall in love all over again”…..”…I laghed ’til I cried…” …”this summers CaddyShack!”…
That is BRILLIANT…you pervert…or I guess that’s Mister Pervert!
Ok mine messed up… so when you look at mine it will show something about dead babies… just scroll down and pick “Stephan Pastis vs. Mike Tatulli”

What happens when a Pearl’s strip upsets the wrong person?
