The Terrible Thing of Alpha-9! was created by Jake Armstrong over the course of 15 months or so. Jake says in this excellent post at Cartoon Brew, that he made Alpha-9! entirely in Flash with a Cintiq (stylus and tablet), aside from initial story boards. He also cites specific Bugs Bunny references and other inspiration for the short.

I took some captures of the animation, which highlight a few of my favorite shots.



Jake’s blog is here, and includes a post showing these hand made business cards he stamped.
