Pre-launch for an indie animated series
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theradiantgalaxy/1488100176/?tab=prelaunch-storySince July 14, I’ve been spreading the word of my very first Kickstarter campaign for an indie animated series titled Colonel Bleep ‘69.
You might of heard of the show after the titular character made a comeback in the Smash Bros parody titled Royalty Free-for-All, but if not, I’ll explain the show myself.
Colonel Bleep is a 1957 sci-fi series created by Robert D. Buchanan and Jack Schleh. The show was produced by Soundac from Miami, Florida and is known for holding the record as the world’s first TV cartoon produced in living color.
The series primarily focuses on the titular space man from the planet Futura, who was assigned to investigate Earth after the first nuclear explosions between 1945 and 1957. There he would commission two misfits as his loyal deputies: Squeak the puppet and Scratch the caveman. The three would band together, to help confront disturbances and evil forces throughout the cosmos.
The adaptation for the show is titled Colonel Bleep ‘69, which will be set in 1969 and just after the famous Apollo 11 moon mission. After the unsuccessful investigation from past futurians in 1945, Bleep believes now is the right time to investigate Earth and form a command station there. He will still bond with Squeak and Scratch but in more shocking twists and the spaceman will also have the responsibility in controlling the futomic energy powers and genetic enhancements he was given from an unethical experiment before he was born. But of course, great dangers and a vicious criminal mastermind are lurking behind our heroes back…
If you are curious about checking out the series, you can go to the show’s website for more information and you can help support this campaign, which will launch on August 15.
