Animating Edd
While we wait around for the various post-production tasks to be completed, we thought it was time to dust off ‘Here’s Jimmy’ – an animated sitcom we started, then had to put on the back burner until we finished Los Campeones.
We recorded voices a while back, including the legendary Edd Byrnes (‘Kookie’ from 77 Sunset Strip, ‘Vince Fontaine’ from Grease, to name but two). Edd prefers not to do Kookie any more, but he liked our script and agreed to reprise the character for our cartoon.
I ventured to Palm Springs with ‘Here’s Jimmy’ collaborator Jim Cherry to catch up with Edd, who was signing his biography – ‘Kookie No More’ – at an auto show. We got to hang and chat with Edd, and of course got our books signed! -Eddie
