An interview with the creator of Youtube’s giggliest cartoon show.
For the past two years, a mysterious cartoonist named Aphids J. Kaboodle has been posting very funny (and very short) videos to Youtube. The star of these films is a guiless anthropomorphic bow-tie named Bow Tie and the stories seem to be based on autobiographical events from Aphid's life. For the first time ever, Aphids agreed to be interviewed via email. But first, let's get you acquainted with the world of Bow Tie:
Tell me a little about yourself, Aphids. Who are you? Are you an aphid or a bow-tie?
Aphids: Aphids is actually an acronym for Awesome Person Handling Inevitable Daily Situations. I can't tell you what Kaboodle means without blushing. I work in the entertainment industry by day and make these cartoons after dark. Although daylight savings time is really messing with the latter.
You release an animated short film just about every day, even with a full-time job. How do you find the time? What keeps you churning these little movies out at such an impressive pace?
Aphids: Time is where you find it. Usually right next to where you've lost your glasses. My normal release schedule is a new cartoon every Tuesday, but just for the month of April I amped it up to do daily releases for VEDA (Vlog Every Day in April). It's been a fun opportunity to further flesh out the world of Bow Tie with new stories and even more original songs.
Is every Bow-Tie autobiographical? Do you find it funnier to fictionalize the events or stick as close to the truth as possible?
Aphids: Yes, each episode of Bow Tie is based on a real moment in time from my life. Some have hardly any fictionalization besides the lens of caricature that animation offers. Others have a little embellishment.
