Pastoral Resources

The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.

Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.

My dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids' parties.

I've told my children that when I die, to release balloons in the sky to celebrate that I graduated. For me, death is a graduation.

So the laughs had to come from the character, not because we had balloons in our shirts or were speaking in high voices. That was very important to us.

I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist.
