E-mail from Bill Oakley!

A while back in the Diversions category, I did huge plug for Mission Hill finally coming out on DVD. I really gained a greater appreciation for the show watching the entire 13-episode season and the four episodes with commentaries. Afterwards, I checked out the official website for the show that used to be posted during the ending credits. There were no means to contact the show’s creators Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein so I e-mailed the webmaster of the site. I received an answer from the webmaster stating that he (or she) would forward any message I send to the duo. I did after the new year but it looked like a bust. I didn’t reply to the webmaster by a certain time and the provider has some kind of spamblocker. 
 
When I came in to work today (after being sick for four days), there was a message from Bill Oakley himself! He said thanks for all the nice comments and thank you’s for the work he and Josh had done. He kidded about me having enough computer wealth to possibly revive the show in order to complete the five episodes which were written but never produced. He also stated that he’ll keep me in mind should he need to get a new iPod. The best part is that he said Josh had some left over cels from Mission Hill and I could have a couple if I were interested. I have to pay for the shipping which is no problem. Getting an answer from one of the two creators was the thrill. Being offered a cel or two from the last hand-painted cartoon ever made and one of the funniest animated adult shows produced, well that’s, that’s, just fantastic. 
 
I’ll let know more as it happens. I responded with thanks, let me figure out how to do this. I better remember to ask for their autographs too.
