Want a laugh? Check this out.

One of my favorite post-final bell activities in high school was reading the comics a friend of mine, Lars Ingelman, created. They were uniquely illustrated, and written with the same witty, socially aware, slightly goofy and self-deprecating insight Lars applied to everything, and I loved following his characters through their constant misadventures.

Now Lars has moved on to animation and is still doing a great job of turning his observations into humor everyone can enjoy. His video is currently the 17th most-viewed (out of more than 500 entries!) in FOX's latest Aniboom competition, and if he wins he'll not only get a nice chunk of change to advance his animation projects but be able to work on animation at FOX. I thoroughly enjoy Lars' work and am definitely in favor of him getting a shot at doing what he loves for a living - especially if it means I get to watch the next Family Guy- or Futurama-esque hit knowing one of my friends from high school had a hand in it! Check out "CLASS: The Valentine's Day Special" and see what you think.
