Back at CalArts, during one of my summer breaks, I had the fortunate experience to freelance storyboard/write an episode of "Dexter's Laboratory". Now this was the first time ever I storyboarded professionally. And it was boarding and writing, which I wasn't properly prepared for at school. That said, I did the best I could at the time, and got to work with future legends Genndy Tartakovsky, Rob Renzetti, & Craig McCraken. After that I returned back to school. I never heard more about it, so I assumed I failed hard. 17 years later, I find out while I was teaching at CalArts from one of my students that its an infamous never aired episode. So here it is... Enjoy!
Also please do not judge me too harshly on this, after all it was my first official job.
Wikipedia Entry:
"Rude Removal" is a cartoon segment originally produced for the animated television series Dexter's Laboratory for Cartoon Network. It was intended to air as part of an episode from the second season in 1997. In the segment, Dexter and Dee Dee are accidentally split into two pairs, a polite pair and a rude pair, with the latter depicted as using profanity with bleep censorship. The segment was only screened at some animation festivals before finally being released online by Adult Swim on January 22, 2013.
