A FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU SEND A FRIEND REQUEST:
Unless you already know me, send me a message at the same time you send a friend request.
Anybody who posts a bulletin stating "I'm bored!" will be immediately dropped from my list. I think that this is the lamest exclamation that a person can make. I realize it's a MySpace-style request for input, comments, acknowledgement, etc., but in a world with so many things to do and so little time to do them in, I find the phrase offensive.
If you send bulletins about bullshit that caution me to repost them or "the man in your closet will kill you and you'll have bad luck forever and never have sex again" I will drop you like a hot potato. Don't waste my time or clutter my page.

"Fun":
Let's get it straight, don't wanna be great.
Yeah, I'm in this for me.
If it ain't fun, that's when I'm done.
That's how it's gonna be.
Don't wanna kill the rock stars, smash the state.
Don't wanna save the world from impending fate.
When all is said and done, I just wanna have fun.
I'm not gonna wash my ass today,
even though it really stinks.
I'm gonna make the van smell bad.
Don't care what anybody thinks.
Don't wanna save the whales when the system fails.
Don't wanna feed the bums.
I'm in this for me, I just wanna have fun!

Television
Before I got TiVo people told me that it would change my life. I told them that my life wasn't so empty that a new way to record TV programs was going to make a profound difference. Then I got TiVo. TIVO CHANGED MY LIFE! I watch: The Daily Show, Venture Brothers, Happy Tree Friends, Lost, 24, the Shield, the Office, Medium, the entire Food Channel, Nip/Tuck, Scrubs, Entourage, Deadwood, Family Guy (the Simpsons jumped the shark years ago), Real Time, South Park, Law & Order (all versions), and so many others that I am humbled by my sloth.

Heroes
Most of my heroes are dead: Frank Zappa, William Burroughs, Jack Kirby, Roger Zelazny. Those guys shaped my youth. R. Crumb and S. Clay Wilson showed me that I could draw and say anything I wanted. I've made some good friends along the way. Those people are my current heroes. Anybody who speaks out against the injustices of The Man is a hero (you know who you are, Man). If you can take a punch from a kangaroo, you are my hero.
About me: Ken Pontac was born in Glendale Memorial Hospital on May 22, 1957, or raised by electric eels in Peru, depending on whom you want to believe. His early childhood was colored by a series of incidents too remarkable and bizarre to recount fully in this brief text, but by the age of three the course of his life was to be set forever; young Kenny was determined to become the thirty-seventh president of the United States. The landslide election of Richard Milhouse Nixon in 1969 shattered these ambitions, however, and caused him instead to choose a career in film.
Pontac began his filmmaking career in 1981 in the effects houses of Hollywood, directing film graphics for commercials and features. His commercial work included spots for Coca-Cola, Disneyland, Norelco, and Shell Oil (for which he is still paying a karmic debt). His feature effects were seen in films such as Never Say Never Again, Moonstruck, and Douglas Trumbull's groundbreaking Showscan film New Magic.
In 1987 Pontac moved to Northern California to serve as art director for The New Adventures of Gumby, for which he produced sets, puppets and artwork for thirty-three episodes of syndicated animation.
In 1989 Pontac returned to Hollywood to create and produce a prime-time television pilot that aired on ABC TV. He spent a year on the Warner Brothers lot working in development with various writers and producers, then returned to Northern California to create his own company, Danger Productions.
Danger Productions employed a staff of one hundred artists and animators who created content for television, video games, and computer applications. The company produced twenty-six half-hours of the ABC TV animated program Bump in the Night, which Pontac created, produced, wrote and directed. Danger Productions also designed and produced the characters for the best-selling video game Clayfighter for Interplay, as well as creating animated assets for Microsoft's Office 97 and My Personal Tutor.
From 1990 to the present Pontac has written scripts for animated television episodes that have been translated into a dozen languages and shown around the world. During that time he has also worked as a director for the UPN prime time animated program Gary & Mike, for which his episode Phish Phry won an Emmy for Best Art Direction. He was also nominated for an Emmy for his work on the Discovery Kids series ToddWorld. Pontac is a writer and story-editor for Mondo Media's Happy Tree Friends, and is working on an animation project with Jim Woodring that is too secret to talk about.
Pontac lives in Sausalito with a beautiful redheaded nurse and a dog named Whistle.
For some reason, Pontac is compelled to refer to himself in the Third Person in this biography.
My dog Whistle is featured in an upcoming HTF episode. He's part Great White Shark and takes shit from no dog.
Ha ha! I wrote this song when I was in Iceland working on LazyTown!
Russia invades Georgia and President Bush goes on vacation. Our president has spent one-third of his entire two terms in office either at Camp David, Maryland, or at Crawford, Texas, on vacation.
Who I'd like to meet: Adolf Hitler face to face. Just give me five minutes with the guy! I'll kick his ass!
Oh, wait. He's dead.
In that case, I'd like to meet anybody that can enhance my life, make me laugh, or lend me ten bucks with no strings attached.
