It’s another interview episode, stuffed to the gills with content. This week we had the pleasure of talking with Marty Isenberg, story editor behind the fantastic Transformers: Animated cartoon series.

We talk about character building techniques, writing “a” and “b” stories, and how collaboration with the art director is an essential part of an animation writer’s repetoire. A lot of our conversation revolves around his work on the Transformers: Animated series, but I’m confident that the bulk of the discussion will be useful to cartoonists, young and old. Besides, you could do a lot worse than check out the series, and if my gushing about it back in The Big Deconstruction wasn’t enough to convince you, maybe this episode will get a few of you to watch the first three episodes, at least. It’s so much better than shows like Lost–you don’t have to watch from the very first episode in order to enjoy it!
