Just wanted to share with you a recent project I designed, coming next year.

PBS's first primetime cartoon series is also probably the first regular show anywhere based on fictional private lives of public radio stars.
The first run of half-hours starring the sibling hosts of NPR's Car Talk will debut in summer 2008, PBS announced July 11 at the summer TV critics press tour. A contest to come up with a name for the TV show will be announced on the radio show.

Wow, something hip that involve NPR and PBS. Love the artwork.

Is PBS taking note since Pixar has figured NPR personalities and voices in two of its three latest films?
