Too bad they were shiite (don't worry, I'm not being crass, Billy told me when I interviewed him in 2005 that he was really disappointed by how the cartoons turned out.)
He had pitched the idea of later turning the series into an anime but that fell through, as did his vision of creating a stage play based on the Glass characters.
Yeah, those cartoons were not good at all. The way they were written and I don't think were written by Billy personally if I remember correctly, seem to make Billy seem a lot more self-involved and full of himself if he had actually written them. It was just too over the top and pandering. The big bad record execs-CLICHE
I remember last December or so, the "Pumpkin Queen" hinted at the possibility of Glass and the Machines of God coming back, even in the form of a book or something like that. I guess that's not happening, just like the meet and greets that were supposed to happen in some of the cities with Myspace fan pages up. The closest thing to that was Pumpkin Queen showing up to the LA meetup, like she had done at the original UK meetup. But of course no SP.
I wonder what ever happened to that girl. Netphoria and relentless negativity must have crushed her spirit for getting involved with the fan community. I am not sure why she couldn't have tried reaching out to Blamo or something as well, just to see another side of the fan base, as they are the 2nd largest board or at least the one that has been around the longest (I post there too).
