A few shorts to share related to a common theme (wink) that relates to a yearly event (wink) that happens this time every year (wink). Here’s the latest episode from Eric Pringle’s series Prophet Buddy titled You Called It.

Sadly, there are not more Prophet Buddy episodes until May. We’re still hoping this is an April Fools joke.

And, as promised, Jayson Thiessen’s series is back for a second week of Mr. Obtuse.

Eric Pringle’s Prophet Buddy series has spawned a Valentine’s Day episode titled A Valentine’s Treat. In this all new episode, Mouse gives Cat a gift from the bottom of his heart… or at least his bottom.

Allan Dye got all mushy on us this Valentine’s Day - well, if you consider giant, people-chomping lizards romantic.


And Joe Cartoon’s approach to the matters of the heart take a slightly bloodier path…


Just when you thought Valentine’s Day couldn’t get any bloodier, Happy Tree Friends came along:

Damn the calendar - the holiday season is in full-effect here at CHF. We were out in the week leading up to the holiday rush, and missed a few great holiday-themed Flash-animated shorts.

Chris Georgenes, the man behind mudbubble.com, brings his daughter Andrea back into the recording booth for another holiday short. Back in 2006, she wrote her Christmas list, but this year it’s time for a song:


Tiny Inventions, a children’s entertainment development company, crafted this holiday-themed short using characters from their pre-k property In My Bag.

The irrepressible Pascal Campion animated a Flash-animated holiday short welcoming in the new year.Eric Pringle’s series Prophet Buddy debuted a holiday short that explores two of the religious groups that celebrate in December.


And the gang at Weebl’s Stuff created this unusual twist on the Christmas holiday - Mr. Christmas Pudding For a Head.

Eric Pringle, or ‘Pringle’ as he goes by, has released a new episode of Prophet Buddy. Titled Told You So, this episode is by far the most elaborate, as the cat and mouse leave on a journey to discover the dangers of the world beyond the wall.


Go pick up a screen-printed Prophet Buddy t-shirt, which comes in six colors.

Eric Pringle, the Emmy-nominated Animation Director of Cartoon Network’s Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, has recently teamed up with Cold Hard Flash on the merchandise front. Pringle’s weekly, online, animated series Prophet Buddy has spawned handfuls of episodes and now we bring you t-shirts - currently available in the CHF Store. As usual, these are screen-printed shirts, on only the best fabrics available - American Apparel fitted t-shirts.

PROPHET BUDDY T-SHIRTS STORE
When I heard that Pringle was personally animating his own series (he’s just completed his 16th episode), I immediately offered to help. The indie spirit that keeps him up to 4am is what this website is all about, and I hope that the CHF faithful will join me in supporting this type of passion with a purchase. Pringle has big plans for the project, and pioneering takes countless hours, buckets of sweat and cold, hard cash. I hope you’ve recently done the same for Adam Phillips and his new BrackenStore, another example of artists owning his own future.

In honor of this announcement, Pringle and his pals Matt Danner (mouse) and Eric Bauza (cat) have created the very first Cold Hard Flash commercial. Yee haw!


Choose your favorite flavor!
