The Minute.
I just wanted to say how much I like The Malex Minute. I like the characters very much, and I think that Snuffy and Malex are very well developed characters. Linus isn't very well developed, in my opinion, and if I were to change anything about the show, it would be him...
somehow. I don't know how I'd change him. He just doesn't seem to have all that much depth.
Also, I really have to thank you guys for actually mentioning my question on-air. I was very surprised, and couldn't believe that someone recognized me for something, even a silly little question in an email.
Yo yo
Hey man, welcome to MalexMedia.Net!
And thank you very much for your feedback! Most people you only hear from if they have something to complain about, so I'm always really happy to hear from people who actually like what we do.
As for Linus, I totally agree. In fact, as I've mentioned before here on the site, the end of Quarter 05 will see some major leaps forward in Linus's character. In more ways than one.
As for your question, of course we'd answer it on the air! We have a long way to go before the emails outpace our ability to answer them.
Thank you very much for your support. Hopefully we can continue to deliver.
ttyl!

Welcome
I agree with your comments, Christoph. And I went to your homepage, too. I really like your little characters, Skip & Elliot. And about the photos: did you take them? The orange one with the tree is just gorgeous!
He just doesn't seem to have all that much depth.
This is true, but would depth be a good thing in such a toxic character?

Wow. . .
I spend a lot of time on my little internet communities. I really get into them, and I'm always dissapointed by them, as the other people in them don't really care as much about the going ons of the community as I do.
But I have to say... Out of about 35 communities and projects and stuff, you guys are the only ones to have actually welcomed me like that. Wow. I'm incredibly amazed....
Wow.
Anyway, as for that homepage of mine that I stuck there, thats just another one of those said communities. Sadly, it seems to me that none of the other 50 members of the community have logged on once in the last month, other than me.
It's quite depressing, as I helped them quite a bit, and now they pretty much just left...
As for Linus's development as a character, I'm very happy to hear that there could be a jump in personality. Yay!
And, oh yes, those are my pictures! I've been looking for a better community to host some of my photos, and if you turn out to be interested, I have a couple hundred good ones! As for those doodles of characters, yes, those are some characters I hope to make a webcomic out of some day! As I said on my user account here, I am an artist, and I dab into quite a few mediums.

Wow
Looking at your user profile page I can see what you mean when you say you dabble in quite a few mediums. You're very gifted.
Also, I got to look at your work you've published on Walus Rider. Those photographs are gorgeous. I like them all. Though, as SangMing pointed out, the one with the tree is truely striking.
And Skip looks so funny. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him!
God has really blessed you with some amazing talents, Christoph. Or may I call you Mr. Jenkins?

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. As you may or may not have picked up, I'm the illustrator for the Malex Minute, being a graphic artist myself, and I also do Splicky Missions and various other image contributions to the site. It sounds like we might have something in common!

Well man, I gotta say. I've always seen entertaining people as a priviledge, not a right. As far as I'm concerned, entertainers who take their audience for granted are just being stupid. So I'm always very excited to interact with people and hear what they have to say.

Why thank you Aisling! Those are some of my older photos, and I'd love to show you guys more. Just give me the word! Skip is hopefully going to be the main character of my future webcomic, so I can show you more of that too.
Yes Quartz, I checked out the rest of your work here last night, and I love the splicky missions! As I said on your most recent one, I love the contrast between the simpleness of the splickies, and the realistic backgrounds. It's great!

Problems
The prospect of developing an entire cartoon in addition to the other work we've set up for ourselves turned out to be far more daunting than any of us realized.
The story is great, the characters are great, and the whole thing is as funny as it can be.
It just doesn't exist yet.
As soon as it does though, you guys will be among the first to know.

Hey, how come I never heard anything about a possible cartoon? Was this an idea you guys were throwing around a while ago, or just recently? Say, a cartoon would prolly bring in a lot of business. You know how webcomics tend to be purty popular. Wait, do you mean like comic strip type cartoons, or ACTUAL cartoons like on TV? Whoa.

Malex does Malex, Fopsworth does Linus, and I do the Snufflefungus. As for the side characters, it varies. Most of the time it's one of us three, but sometimes we'll get SangMing, Aisling, or Leela to do one.
