Ah yes, The Chog Zoo news update is back. Crammed with 101% more news than any newspaper, when you is dun reading it, you head is be popping!
I’d like to start off by giving a shout out to my main man, the snow. Yes, it has finally started snowing outside Chog Zoo Studios, and inside Chog Zoo minds. We’ve got Christmas on the brain, and to celebrate, here’s an image of a happy child:

But we’re not here to bask in the splendour of happy faces worldwide! We’re here for some serious business. I’m talking about cartoons. Allow me to get on with it:
Concerning Superheroes, Online Dating and Emotional Dots.
Bluestreak Arts, the crafty minxes, challenged us to work at warp speed recently. We were asked to bring to life a number of scripts involving superheroes, talking computers and coloured spots with relationship issues, all in the aid of educating kids about being sensible. They turned out really good. Woopah!
Linkdex
Linkdex is a brand new SEO company built in conjunction with Matt Roberts, founder of Talk About Debt, and friend of Chog Zoo. We recently built them an introduction animation for their website, which is rather nice I must say. The site goes live very shortly, so stay tuned for all your future SEO* needs!
*Searh Engine Optimisation. In other words, if you’re a plonker on the internet, and you want people to know how much of a plonker you are, then get these guys to boost your Google profile, and you too could be a millionaire plonker.
Special Golf Related Eye Wear Product…
…That we’re STILL not allowed to announce properly. All I can say is…if you’re a golf enthusiast, get excited now! And if you’re not a golf enthusiast, then get excited about something else for crying out loud! Life’s too short! We've created the branding, website and leaflet design for this project, and can't wait to show it off.
Chog Zoo Bicycle Club
We’ve almost finished all the animation for our new viral video, which we should be launching this Holiday Season (wait... that's now isn't it??), in an attempt to cheer up those who get naff presents this Yule. The animation changes every day, and gets a little bit more exciting each time, so we can’t wait to show you all!
Challenges and Rewards
You've probably already seen this animation, but in case you haven't we've entered it into a competition about entrepreneurs. Yes, we've already won an award for this one but we like to spread our art far and wide... and hopefully win things while we're at it. Click here to get us some views, and feel free to share the link because we need LOADS to have a chance of winning. Please. Thanks :D

NOTE: We submitted this animation in full HD and it looked lovely, but the organisers have gone and uploaded it at 240 pixels wide (not very many pixies at all) If you can't tell what's going on, check out our Youtube channel to see it looking lovely again.
That’s about all we have for you this month, but it’s more than you deserve, because none of you ever write back and tell us what you’ve been doing over the last thirty days!
Ah well. I’m just going to use this opportunity to tell those of you that don’t already know, we have a Tumblr page now! So head on over to this link:
Oh hold on! Tumblr is down! I have the vivid mental image of millions of teenagers unable to blog who are now stumbling outside and blinking in the sunlight.
When it's back online, you're more than welcome to stalk us! Witty banter and regular updates aplenty!
Now shove off.
But seriously, have a great December :) As always, thanks for reading about our shenanigans!
