My blog post comes early this week. By at least an hour as I have been relieved of a duty. The office cleaning duties I would normally be performing at this time are being completed by the new intern Chris.

Chris joined us this week at Mighty Fudge, and will be with us for one more week learning more than he probably ever wanted to know about a small up and coming animation business.

Had someone walk into the studio today asking what we did here at Mighty Fudge. We told him we did animation and design work. He was kind of surprised when he found out we didn't make fudge or candy. We do however make eye Candy. And like candy that rots your teeth, some of the stuff we do here could certainly rot your brain. But no we're not your typical Candy Shop. Though I should talk to someone around here about keeping a constant supply of fudge around.
