And yes, the upcoming cartoons are longer! (The last two both run about 2:30, in fact.) On one hand, I'm sick of everyone complaining how short the cartoons are, but on the other hand, I guess it's good that people want more. I'm conflicted.
In the meantime, I'll be putting up more of my "Video Game Music Videos" (I have six of those). Watch for 'em!
5/5/08 - Check out the latest "Bad Atom" cartoon, "Best Villain", right now!
4/28/08 - The latest "Bad Atom" cartoon, "Reading" has just arrived! Enjoy!
4/23/08 - Check out my latest video, a commercial for the "PleasureBed". It's the perfect night-time companion!

3/31/08 - The latest "Bad Atom" cartoon, "Spontaneous" has just arrived! Enjoy!
3/27/08 - I just finished my latest video, "Multiple Personalities". It's in the Videos section now. You'll be amazed by the state-of-the-art split-screen effects - who needs a $150 million budget?
3/24/08 - Big day.
My first two "Bad Atom" cartoons are finally here, and I'm a little speechless at the moment. Yeah, they're just a couple of 30-second short cartoons, not really a big deal, but this is something I've wanted to see since I was twelve years old - "Bad Atom", animated. I've lived with these characters for most of my life, and to see them come alive like this is a unique thrill for me. While my ultimate goal is still to get "Bad Atom" on TV, this is an important step in the right direction.
I want to thank my wonderful voice actors for bringing my characters to life: Deven Mack (Bad Atom), Lunacatz & Katie Dehnart (Swirly Top), John Mondelli (Warthairy H. Blob) and Edwyn Tiong (Good Atom). I truly appreciate your work and value our collaboration.
I hope everyone enjoys the first two cartoons, and keep watching, because there are 17 more coming! Check back every Monday for a new cartoon! And don't worry, they get longer... :)
3/21/08 - Mark your calendars, folks...
The "Bad Atom" cartoons are coming on MONDAY!!!
I'm releasing the first two cartoons on Monday, March 24th, following with a brand-new cartoon EVERY WEEK!
If you watch the cartoons here (and you should, because they're here first), be sure to vote for them on Newgrounds.com. I'm also including links to the YouTube versions so you can put them on your own website, MySpace, etc.
My cartoons can also be seen at the following sites:
albinoblacksheep.com
flashportal.com
livevideo.com
myspace.com
phrozenflame.com
vimeo.com
...and a few more I'm probably forgetting. :)
3/19/08 - I've added links to my "Video Game Music Videos" in the Music section, along with links to download the remixes.
I also discovered last night that I'm the #1 Google search result for "Michael DeSanto", as well as "Bad Atom". That makes me feel special. :)
3/18/08 - My latest piece of music, "Lo and Behold" is now being featured on the front page of Newgrounds.com. That's kind of awesome. Thanks, NG!
3/17/08 - Check out my "Video Game Music Videos" on YouTube! I've made ten of them so far, and I'll be releasing them every couple of days or so to tide everyone over while I work on my upcoming videos. Enjoy!

2/27/08 - Yes, I'm still hard at work on my "Bad Atom" cartoons! I was sidelined by a computer virus, so I won't have them all done in time for Bad Atom's 14th anniversary (March 1st), but they're coming soon! I'm also still working on my book, and I have 15 new web videos planned. Patience is a virtue!
I've also tweaked a few little things here and there because of Firefox. I haven't completely gotten on board with Firefox yet, but I thought the 29% of visitors that use it might like it if all my site buttons were lined up. :)
2/6/08 - I just released my latest cartoon, kind of a surprise that I was working on for a couple of days in between animating my "Bad Atom" cartoon series. It's called "Goombacide" and yes, it features those lovable Goombas from Super Mario Bros. It's in the Animations section. Enjoy!
1/22/08 - Presenting the new, improved and updated site redesign for 2008! I've made MAJOR changes to every section of the site - I've added some stuff, removed some stuff, and made the old stuff all shiny and new. I've also converted all my comic strip series into easy-to-navigate Flash archives.
Please let me know what you think of the redesign, or if you found any broken links, missing pictures, etc.
1/15/08 - My first video of 2008 is finally here! It's called "It's a Snap!" Go watch it right now or I'll break your neck. :) For some behind-the-scenes info and pictures, check out my MySpace blog!

After four and a half months of on-and-off work, "Michael's Stand-Up 5" is finally finished. Go check it out (censored or uncensored), and I've included a bunch of extra stuff about it in the Animations section. There's even a list of all the hidden Easter Eggs in the movie for anyone too lazy to look for them. :)
I even have a special T-shirt available in my store.

I've put my cartoon series promo videos up, and I made a minor overhaul of the site, fixing and updating things here and there.
I'm also still hard at work on "Michael's Stand-Up"s 4 & 5, and I'll be back to working on "Cat & Dog" soon. And if you didn't see the latest "Bad Atom" and "Squeek & Ribbit" comics, go look at 'em now! I'll wait...
2/3/07 - I have a boatload of new "Squeek & Ribbit" comics on their way, and the Valentine's Day themed "Bad Atom" comics are up now.
In other news, the site drew a record number of hits last month - nearly 49,000!

I'm also getting ahead on some new "Bad Atom" comic strips, including some for Valentine's Day.
1/21/07 - (sigh) Today I turn 25.
What kind of a milestone is 25 anyway? It's not like 12, when you can be legally tried and convicted as an adult. It's not like 17, when you can take your girl into an R-rated movie and lose one of her shoes in the process (don't ask). It's not like 18, when you can go into a strip club and get carded twenty-seven times before they let you in and even then the girls give you a look before they get on your lap. It's not like 21, when you can legally drink, although you discovered at 19 that drinking is not for you.
So what is so great about 25? Well, first of all, my car insurance goes way down. Plus, I can rent a car without them charging me extra. But that's about it.
I look back on the past quarter-century and I wonder about my life and what I've done (or haven't done) with it. I wonder what lies in store for my future, and the hopes and dreams I still have yet to achieve. And I worry about my present, as I scrape frosting from a can and eat it off of my finger. I don't have a paper towel handy, so I wipe my finger off on my shirt.
Anyway, 25 years down...let's try not to waste the next 25, okay?
1/9/07 - I just finished "Michael's Stand-Up 3" - I tell the ugly truth about Pac-Man to a very receptive audience. And I'm working on the next three stand-ups, so watch for them!
And if you haven't read it yet, check out my 2006 Year in Review below. I have some big plans for this year!
1/1/07 - 2006 in Review!
12/29/06 - Surprise! I just finished the second "Michael's Stand-Up" animation. It's a short one, but now that everything's in place, I can make new ones a LOT faster. Expect to see new ones every couple of weeks or so (crosses fingers)!
12/21/06 - I have an early Christmas present for everyone - the first "Food Adventures" animated cartoon! It's called "The Practical Joker" and features Banana. Go watch it now!
36% done with "Cat & Dog" - it's my biggest project to date. I'm hoping to finish it sometime in January.
I posted my animated cartoons, cartoon promos, and some funny stuff from my old vacation videos on YouTube. Check 'em out!
11/15/06 - Yeah, it's been a while, huh?
I'm still working on "Cat & Dog", and various other projects. Check out the forums for links to animated videos from my new DVD presentation! I'm also posting more new music to the Music section, go and listen to it!
In other news, I'm going to be publishing a bunch of stuff through Lulu.com. I'll be publishing collections of comic strips from all my series, the "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book, CD compilations of my original musical themes, and more! Watch for this soon!
9/13/06 - "Cat & Dog" has been delayed - I've been working on some other projects, and I'm hoping to have "Cat & Dog" completed by the end of this month.
8/23/06 - 20% done with "Cat & Dog". It's looking great! It's easily my longest and most complicated animation yet. For more info about it, click here.
I also just added the BadAtom.com Jukebox, containing samples of my original music. Try it out!
8/13/06 - I just began work on my newest Flash cartoon, "Cat & Dog". It's going to take me a few weeks to complete it, and I'm going to put a preview up soon.
7/31/06 - I just finished my latest animation, "Caveman Bowling". It's a funny little short cartoon, and I completed it in two days. What's next?
7/24/06 - I've just finished my second Flash-animated cartoon, "Imaginary Friend". I finished it in 9 days, and now I can finally take a nap. :) Go check it out now, and have a box of tissues ready, 'cause you're gonna need 'em.
6/30/06 - Lots of little changes around the site, new logo, etc.
I've also started an ongoing series of "Bad Atom" TV parodies. If you think of a show that Bad Atom and company need to make fun of, e-mail me!
6/19/06 - "Michael's Stand-Up" is here! It's my very first Flash-animated cartoon. It took me 8 days to teach myself Flash and animate the whole thing. Check it out right now!
6/8/06 - Three more new "BA" comics are up. I'm on a roll!
6/7/06 - I just finished a record 13 "Food Adventures" comic strips in two days! I'm probably finished with the comic series now, and I'll concentrate my efforts on the (hopefully) upcoming "FA" animations.
5/25/06 - I've made more than a few changes to the site, let me know what you think!
I've also finished a boatload of new "Squeek & Ribbit" comics, including an extra-long one to finish off the story of their latest escape attempt. Check 'em out!
5/21/06 - I'm hard at work on a slew of new "Squeek & Ribbit" comics. I've also found an animator to work on "Squeek & Ribbit in: The Cage" so I'm hoping to get that restarted soon!
I'm still looking for animators for "Bad Atom" and "Food Adventures" Flash cartoons. For more information, check out my forums.
4/14/06 - The "Bad Atom" store has been updated with new designs and logos! Check out the new stuff!
4/11/06 - I know it's been awhile, but After taking an unintended six-month hiatus, I'm back with all-new comics and a whole lot more!
So what happened? My computer died on me in October, so I couldn't do any work on the site or scan in any comics or artwork. I also moved to Ohio in January, and you know how that goes. But everything's back to normal (relatively speaking) and now the site is back up and updated again! Woohoo!
8/22/05 - Finally, an update! I just finished eight new comic strips for all three series.
7/19/05 - I just finished a new "Bad Atom" game!
Bad Atom in "The Rescue Operation!"
Check it out! It took me three days to make but it was worth it. (Thanks go out to my bug testers Mike and Matthew!) If you need hints on beating it I'll put them up in the forum.
I also added the complete histories of "Squeek & Ribbit" and "Food Adventures" in the History section, with never-before-seen pictures.
And just in case you missed it, here's the "Bad Atom" Fourth of July Blowout!.
6/22/05 - I finally got my groove back - I'm drawing again! Check out the "Bad Atom" Fourth of July Blowout! It's my longest "Bad Atom" comic yet!
I also put some new tunes up in the Music section, and there's a lot more to come in the next few days, so keep checking back!
BadAtom.com is BACK!!!
If you haven't been to the forums yet, check them out now!
I'm still looking for an animator to finish my "Squeek & Ribbit" cartoon. It's 1/3 of the way done, and I've done everything but animate it - the script, the storyboards, voices, music and sound effects. This is a paying job, so if you're interested, e-mail me with some samples of your previous Flash work.
Have you read my cartoon scripts yet? They're all in the Writings section.
5/17/05 - Finally, an update!!! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've made any new comics or updates or anything. That's what happens when real life gets in the way :)
But don't worry - things have returned to normal and I'm going to work overtime on new stuff. I'm also getting back to promoting my cartoons, as well as getting a writing agent - I've written a sitcom script.
And check out the forums, if you haven't already. I'm trying to get everyone from the old forums over to this one now.
4/19/05 - The BadAtom.com Forums are up! The other forums are down right now, and I'm trying to get everyone from those forums to sign up over here.
I've also put some ads on the site (courtesy of Google) - check out the links and help me out!
And I'm looking for a new animator to finish my "Squeek & Ribbit" cartoon. The guy that was working on it pretty much dropped off the face of the earth, so I need someone new to complete it. It's about 1/3 of the way done, and I've done everything but animate it - all the character model sheets and storyboards and script and voices and music and sound effects. I just need someone to finish the animation for me. This is a paying job, so if you're interested, e-mail me with some samples of your previous Flash work.
4/12/05 - Sorry about the lack of updates - I was on a week's vacation, followed by my car breaking down on the way back home. (It's actually a pretty funny story.) Anyway, things are back to normal now, and I'll be getting back to my comics, as well as getting my stuff to the studios (20th Century Fox, you're next!).
I also added another page of "Bad Atom" comics, in case you didn't see them on the forums. I don't know what's going on with those forums, anyway... The BadAtom.com Forum will be up shortly, though.
3/29/05 - I've added another page of Classic Comics, and expanded the Writings section with all my cartoon scripts (as well as some of my non-cartoon stuff). I also overhauled the Media section. If you haven't checked all the new stuff out yet, what are you waiting for?
The Knox's Korner forum is back up now - stupid hackers! Plus I have a new forum over at Crazy Chris's Corner.
3/12/05 - I've just spent the last two days overhauling the site and adding lots of new stuff. I've added some more of my older comics, as well as my cartoon music, scripts and much more. Check it out! And while you're at it, buy a T-shirt, would you? :)
3/10/05 - I just moved the site to a new server - no more GeoCities!!! Those stupid ads they were putting on the side were REALLY getting annoying. Now I have a lot more room and a lot more bandwidth. I'll be putting a lot of new stuff on the site, including some never-before-seen artwork and my original music.
3/1/05 - Happy 11th, Bad Atom!
While I'm waiting to have my pitch meeting with Warner Bros., I'm trying to keep very busy. I'm drawing new comics at a record pace, I'm learning Flash animation so I can make my short "Food Adventures" cartoons.
Have you checked out the forum lately? Lots of stuff to see there, including some things not available on the site. Go now!
Also, in case you missed it before, I added a new article, "How I Draw My Comics", to the F.A.Q. section of the site.
2/22/05 - I made some adjustments to my "Food Adventures" comic strips - I made them a little bigger so they would look better. I've also started work on some "Food Adventures" Flash-animated cartoons. So far, I've drawn the characters and gotten them to move across the screen :) Help!
2/16/05 - I just set a new personal record - I drew 10 "Food Adventures" comic strips in one day! (Look for these soon on the forum.) I'm also looking for an animator to help me out with some "Food Adventures" short films. If you think you can do better than THIS, drop me an e-mail. That's the extent of my Flash skills right there...
2/9/05 - I just added a new article, "How I Draw My Comics", to the F.A.Q. section of the site. I've had a lot of people asking how I draw my comic strips and put them online, so hopefully this will be helpful.
I also fixed a broken link - Part 3 of my collection of random quotes in the Writings section.
2/2/05 - Lots of new stuff going on! First off, I just finished a new batch of "Bad Atom" and "Squeek & Ribbit" comics. I'm really trying to outdo myself this year!
I've also started work on a short live-action presentation featuring myself and an animated Bad Atom. I hope to have this done in the next few weeks.
1/4/05 - Happy New Year! I just finished a week's worth of new "Bad Atom" comics in one day. Let's see if I can keep it up all year :) I'm also trying to find a way to sell my comic collections, but the cost of printing is very expensive. It's too bad because everybody's missing out on all the little details I put into my comic strips. (When I put them online I shrink them down to 15% of their original size!)
I also updated my online store with new merchandise featuring the new logo. Check it out!
12/28/04 - I'm having an End-of-Year Comic Strip Blowout! I just added 10 new comic strips to the archive to make room for the 2005 models coming in! They have to go, go, go!
I also did a little bit of re-tooling around the site, including creating the new "Bad Atom" logo! Let me know what you think!
12/16/04 - The "Fourth Grade Nightmare" Comic Book is FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 6 months of on-and-off work, I finally got the whole thing done. Go read it now and tell me what you think!
12/13/04 - "Squeek & Ribbit in: The Cage" is about a third of the way done, and it looks great so far. Gotta give major credit to my animator, Al Gonzales, who's doing a terrific job. Hopefully it'll be finished in the next few weeks (don't want to rush things, you know.)
12/1/04 - Just finished page 23 of the "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book. I'm working on the last five pages simultaneously, and I hope to have them done by next week. Finally!!!
11/30/04 - After a lengthy search, going through dozens of submissions, I've finally chosen an animator for "Squeek & Ribbit in: The Cage". I'm hoping to have it done by the end of this month.
11/16/04 - The latest "Squeek & Ribbit" and "Food Adventures" comic strips are up - I had some free time to work on a bunch of those recently.
I'm also still looking for an animator to work on my "Squeek & Ribbit" cartoon - I've been asking around. Since it's a pretty big project, I'm willing to pay $$$. If you're interested, let me know. Send me an e-mail, including a link to any previous Flash work.
10/26/04 - The "Bad Atom" Halloween Special is here! Check it out! The latest "Squeek & Ribbit" and "Food Adventures" comic strips are up, as well as page 22 of the "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book in case you missed it. Happy Halloween to all!

10/5/04 - I've decided to start updating the site at a regular day and time, which is every Tuesday at 9PM PST. So now everyone will know when to check the site for new comics.
I've also fixed the Comic Archive since some of my older comics were missing. They're back, and now everyone can see them in their poorly drawn black-and-white glory!
For a sneak peek at the latest "Bad Atom" comics and animations, check out the forum! You won't find any of this stuff on the site!

8/17/04 - Page 20 of the "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book is done and will be posted later tonight, only eight more pages to go! Have you checked out the "Bad Atom" forum yet? I'm posting lots of exclusive "Bad Atom" stuff there.
8/13/04 - The latest version of the "Bad Atom" title theme is here! The low-quality version can be found here on the site, and the high-quality version can be found HERE. I hope you enjoy it!

8/8/04 - I've drawn a bunch of new "Squeek & Ribbit" and "Food Adventures" comic strips, so now I'm turning my attention back to "Bad Atom", as well as finishing my "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book.

7/26/04 - Just finished pages 14-17 of the "Fourth Grade Nightmare" comic book. Read it HERE. About 11 or 12 more pages to go, and it's gonna be great!
I'm also looking for people's opinions on my music. The NG people don't seem to like it too much. I guess I'm aiming at the wrong audience. What do a bunch of stoned teenagers know about music anyway? ;-)
7/24/04 - Check out all the new products for sale at my store! New shirt designs, buttons, posters and more!

Also, when I'm done, I'm going to include it with my comic collection I'm putting together. I'm hoping to sell a collection of all my comic series, maybe on eBay or something. I'm also putting together a collection of my own original music, as featured HERE. Maybe I'll make a few bucks selling this stuff on the side, who knows?
5/9/04 - I just finished my first two "Bad Atom" video games, "Bad Atom's Pac-Man Ripoff!" and "Bad Atom vs. Warthairy H. Blob!" They're available for download in the Multimedia page.
4/30/04 - I'm working on a new, top-secret presentation. I can't say much about it, but if it works, you might see Bad Atom on TV!!! Or maybe just his picture. We'll see.
I'm also still looking for opinions on my "Food Adventures" movie script. Read it here. Just look in the "Food Adventures" forum.
4/18/04 - In addition to drawing many more comics, I also finished putting together the music and voice tracks for Squeek & Ribbit in: "The Cage". Instead of looking for someone else to do the voices, I just did them all myself. It was actually kind of fun. Now if I can just get somebody to help me animate it!
I've already completed:
All music, sound effects and voices
Concept artwork
Complete storyboards
All it needs is to be drawn and animated. I will be more than happy to draw every frame, it's just the animating part that I don't get! If you can help me out, please email me!
3/31/04 - I've made the "Food Adventures" script available for anyone to read. You'll find it in the "Food Adventures" Discussion Forum.
I've also been working on a new animated series concept - I got bored, okay? It's going to be called "Fourth Grade Nightmare", which pretty much defines the concept. I'd say 50% of the idea came from my own life. Hey, you gotta write what you know! I'll be putting up some concept art soon. Stay tuned!
Wanna hear my own original music? Check it out HERE! And would you vote on them too? Please?
3/16/04 - Woohoo!!! I finally finished the "Food Adventures" movie script! At 109 pages, it's the longest thing I've ever written. I'm working on the synopsis now, and when it's done, it will be posted in the "Food Adventures" Discussion Forum. Anyone that wants to read the full script, just ask!
3/1/04 - About two-thirds done with the "Food Adventures" movie script. When I'm done (probably sometime this week), I'll post a synopsis.
2/22/04 - Started writing the "Food Adventures" movie script. 15 pages down, about 105 to go!
2/8/04 - I just created my first Flash animation, a test for a "Food Adventures" short film. It's terrible, but go ahead and look anyway. Flash animation is a lot harder than I thought. I'm starting to think it would be easier to animate by hand!
2/7/04 - Wrote the outline for a possible "Squeek & Ribbit" movie. It's basically the pilot script and the first few series ideas. Don't know if I'll get around to writing it though.
1/25/04 - Updated the "Bad Atom" Writer's Bible. Now if I just had a studio executive to show it to...
12/14/03 - Completed the score to the "Squeek & Ribbit" Flash movie. It's a minute and a half of music and sound effects for a planned seven-minute cartoon. That is, if I can ever learn Flash!
