Staff Picks: What to Watch in February

Ken Pontac is the architect of your childhood and a meme-generating machine. His early work includes the stop-motion series Gumby, as well as the various iterations of the classic video game Clayfighter. Pontac wrote and story-edited multiple episodes of the notorious Happy Tree Friends (a show so violent that it's banned in Russia, but has still enjoyed over a billion hits worldwide). Most famous meme? Wrote the Icelandic ear-worm You Are A Pirate. Give it a listen; it will lay eggs in your brain. His cult classic stop-motion series Bump in the Night is available in a new compilation produced by Mill Creek Entertainment. Pontac's work on the delightfully pro-social animated series Arthur may offset some of the karmic debt incurred by his other literary efforts (MadWorld, anyone?), but will probably only bump him up from tapeworm to tree-frog on the reincarnation cycle. Pontac lives in Sausalito with a beautiful redheaded nurse and a tranquil Xoloitzcuintli named Chalupa.
