Tux Dog was a cartoon thought up by one of Paper Rad's members when he
was 10 years old. Though mildly unbelievable, his father, was an avid
fan of Max Beckmann and his love of Beckmann's self
portrait mixed with the child's own artistic influences at the time,
Bill
the Cat and Garfield
led to the form, Tux Dog.
As the young artist's lame attempts at self promotion began to take form
(this web site baring their pathetic fruition) a host of Tux Dog chalk
board drawings at school, and white board/dry erase drawings began to
sprout up.
And that's about it, other than a failed tux dog iron-on
made in 7th grade art class, Tux's reign as the best character ever was
cut very short. Some say the introduction of the Simpsons
overshadowed Tux's importance(to the artist, not to society), however,
later in life, with the Simpsons in syndication Tux began to make a come
back(in the artist's mind).
Tux Dog's comeback is outstanding. Not only can you find him on Paper
Rad's website,
his presence is spilling over to other Paper Rad projects and stuff. The
logical conclusion after Tux's long history was obviously to make him
open source.
That brings us to this very web site, I hope you enjoy Tux Dog, its pretty
simple, he is a crime fighting reporter, he wears a tuxedo, and his enemy
is Bad Cat. Goodluck!!!!!!!!!!
