This is another one of my favorite TV shows where while watching an old tivo'd episode, I felt compelled to pick up a pencil and draw the star. Her name is Jerri Blank, and she's a 46 year-old high school freshman. For 32 years she was a teenage runaway/prostitute, but now she's outta jail and picking up her life exactly where she left off. The show is hilarious! She's always horny in class and just wants to fit in. The whole show is a spoof on all those old afterschool specials that tackle deep issues kids face. Stephen Colbert plays "Mr. Nobblett", one of Jerri's teachers and is equally hilarious. I included one of my favorite quotes from the show too. They made a movie of the show! It gets released this June I think. More pics of Jerri can be found here:

I've seen commercials for this show.. but I've never actually seen it! What channel is it on?
Man, that painting is fantastic! What did you use; painter? Nothing like a good cartoon painting!
Its on occasional re-runs on Comedy Central in the states. I haven't seen it yet in Canada, dont know if they ever ran it on the Comedy Network here. Maybe once the movie is released they will.
Yeah, I used Painter for this. It has some good fake sponge and chalk brushes that I really love scribbling with!
that is so good.
I love that show.
the sedaris family is brilliant.
my favorite is when she always makes fun of Orlando for looking like a monkey
she is so HOT
hahaah that is awesome! looks just like her!!
o god sounds soooo haliarous o__O
You have to print a nice copy of this for me and have it framed...airmail from canada!
Deal! Or I can give u the high res file. Depends how much u want me to pass the buck! Thanks everybody! The movie is released in limited release on June 28th. That means it'll probbaly be in like 3 theaters tops. Look for it on DVD at Blockbuster a month or so later. Get your Jerri fix! GOOD TIMES!
the series is on DVD RIGHT NOW! You can watch Geoffrey Jellineck and Tammi Littlenut until your innards ache.
Oh yeah...guess what limited release means? I get to see it! Oh yeah! LA in the house.
Bet it's playing at about 300 theaters here. Naah naah.
p.s.
the print you wanted is kind of fucked up...you can see it in the photo, the dress has some weird squiggles in the stripes...so if you want the other one it's cool, too.
Don't try to make it sound worse just cuz you want to keep it. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck! I see right through your little ploy.
Exquisitely grotesque!
OMG that's hilarious!
brocko! i found you too!
i tried making a blog, but it was just so many computer related things that my mind exploded and i went on a killing spree.
i was thusly incarcerated, and in my jail time, i got a livejournal instead.
