WTF’s an Atomic Turnip anyway?!

Well thanks for asking so kindly. Dick.

Atomic Turnip is the creative outlet for some parasite named Nek. It all started in 2006 when I learned how to use Flash, and made myself a little Freewebs site to post them on. Remember Freewebs? Anyway, that worked out great for me and the two other people who visited the site, but then like everyone else, I moved over to YouTube when that became a thing. No one really watched my videos until I uploaded some random music video that got really popular for some reason.

During this period I went ham with making web series. I threw a lot at the wall. I started in 2008 with Fire, about an alien child named Louis being a nuisance around his family and neighbors. Then in 2009 I got sick of that bullshit and rebooted Fire. It was now about an adult cat named Louis being a nuisance around his two roomies, a sock named Steve and Steve’s bean son Mr. Happy, and his neighbors. There was a giant nugget of chocolate, Mr. Chocolate, who became so popular with fans that he and Louis eventually got a spinoff together, The Many Misadventures of Louis and Mr. Chocolate. People seemed to like all of this except for me; I ended up deleting my channel because I hated my cartoons. Whoops. All that’s left is a scene I did for the movie “Star Wars Uncut” and a random collab piece with Louis and Mr. Chocolate that’s oddly well-animated for the time

Oh, I also made The Cutter Barney Show, which was like this… SML knockoff? … With a Kirby plush pretending to be Barney the Dinosaur, except he barely acted like Barney at all? I don’t know, I was on a different level of autism with that one.

So after a years-long hiatus from animating, I made my comeback in 2020 (right before the shit hit the fan) with Maids Caught on Tape, which I hope proves I’ve learned something since Fire!
