RAB has been on Newgrounds for a while now. So I understand you want to try some new things and not just make RAB forever. You've given all of us many laughs over what the RAB cast did. I've enjoyed every episode you made,each were very funny. Before saying farewell to RAB,you should make a final episode so we'll know that the series ended and not just leave us hanging hoping you make more. I wish you best of luck making other things that we will watch and definitly give you a "5 Submission" and a "favorite" on our favorites list. Good luck dude!
Hello! I've made over forty Flash films since 2000 for Fark, CampChaos, National Lampoon, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and of course, you fine folks right here on Newgrounds.

As many fellow Newgrounds users below, I too wondered if there had been a new RAB episode. I've been enjoying this series ever since the first or second episode and watched them all of course. I don't know if interest is dwindling, but RAB is one of the Newgrounds classics in my book. I can understand that you want to do something different and put your talents to use somewhere else though. Maybe a RAB finale would be nice, but after all those episodes we at Newgrounds should be thankful for the many laughs we got from RAB which sprang forth from your twisted mind. (And yes, this is a compliment ;) )
I too agree that there should at least be an epilogue/final episode for RAB at least. Seems wierd to have it end on Puppy's wedding.
Hey Dave, long time fan. I've been watching RAB for the last 6 years or so. It's a great show and I'm sorry that it wasn't a massive hit and made millions of dollars. But if it's consolation you made tons of people laugh and have left an indelible impression in Flash Animation and to an extent pop culture (Drawn Together). I'm all for doing new things and I think that's infinitely preferable to beating a dead horse but if you plan on ending the series could you please do at least one last episode wrapping everything up? Last episode wrapped up (for the most part) Puppy's story, but not the rest of the cast.
Please consider it.
I really miss a lot of old stuff these days. Sealab 2021, Assy McGee, reruns of 90s SNL, Drawn Together, but RAB is the top of the list. I would've bought that second RAB dvd, but I didn't have money at the time. I do have an idea though, I think now is the time for an RAB Movie. Crowd funding is really in right now, I think you could do what that Newgrounds webseries Kickstarter project couldn't, successfully get funding and interest for one last hurrah. I believe it will work. I'd be first in line to pledge. Think about it.
If there were a crowd-funding campaign for a RAB finale, I would definitely make a contribution.
I'm sorry to say I don't have as much time for internet shenanigans these days either, I didn't even know that the last RAB was out... and therefore the new DVD. Ironically enough though I was just thinking how I would like to have one to finish off the set. I don't remember if I pre-ordered but I think I was one of the first to buy the last RAB DVD.
Shame to see it go but I'll keep checking in for new stuff whenever I can.
Dave. You are fucking awesome. The man, as a matter of fact. I'm glad to see an update from you obviating that you've still a pulse. While I would give my left testicle (for the amount of times I said that I would be a freak of nature with several hundred testes on my left side, coincidentally) to see another episode of RAB, I completely understand and appreciate what you wrote.
I hope all is well and that you're showered in vagina per usual. Happy new year.
Good gawd.. has it really been that long that I've been watching this series? Haha I've had these on my favorites for years - it feels weird being able to say "I remember when... " oh well even if it were to be a future without it still wouldn't be a sad thing. Fond memories are still just that, good times to remember and I will still watch them on occasion for a laugh (although I do have a horrible habit of remembering the entire episode as I play it ugh..)
it's still good to have things like this as a standard. Honestly there are a lot of new things I still don't enjoy as much as the older flash series. I tire of the random humor with no plot that seems to be the trend. So I stuck by this long safe to say I'll continue to do so for the foreseeable... is that even a word.. oh well w/e - future.
An lastly congratulations on hearing the good news on your progressing work as long as you don't forget to say hello the old folks will gladly show kindness in return!
I need to stop writing without a flow of thoughts going this is horrible lol...
they will be missed although i always thought you made them for fun not profit but they had a lot of good memories hard to believe it got less popular but the once a year thing did put a damper on it for me maybe make a short farewell episode or something and i hope to see your animations grace this site again btw i actually came across this post while on my way to watch sci-fi guys lol
Dave
I just wanted to say thank you for all the work that you put into RAB. There was a time when you were really putting your heart and soul into the project and it was extremely enjoyable to watch. How many can say they created a 23 episode running series, especially as old as the concept was. When you did a couple things for 106.9 a couple of years ago it seemed like you were moving on and as long as you're happy doing that then that's what truly matters.
An artist actually getting to do what they enjoy is a glorious thing and it's great seeing one do that.
Good Luck
No hard feelings at all. I mean, damn, a whole decade of animation work? That's more than my fav cartoon the Swat Kats got! And they had Koreans to do the animating job! I hope you do well on your current and future projects man, and RAB 23 was one heck of a goodbye episode, dude
Times change and all, but hey, legends keep on living. Take care and thanks for all the pee pee places!
It was great while it lasted, fun times. Good luck on whatever new ventures that await, though I hope some of them will make it back to NG. A comic in flash form? Easy to arrange!
If anything, I think you should make a finale. It'll give fans closure in knowing that this series is over and you won't get more messages in regards to this.... unless their I.Q. has dropped too low.
If you're not doing RAB, why not do a few more Weird Al AMVs?
And if you are looking to do at least one more RAB, why not make it a bloodbath bigger than any of the doomsday episodes?
Heya dave. I'm still around. :)
i REALLY wish that you would make more RETARDED ANIMAL BABIES! because I love it, and A LOT f OTHER ppl love it! but of coarse, it's YOU'RE choice! but maybe you could like, work A LITTLE ona retarded animal babies, when you get time? or make one if you want and or CAN! it would mean A LOT, to me as i am STILL as much of a fan NOW as i where several YEAR'S ago, when i FIRST watched it, and now im gonna watch the series AGAIN, HEART BROKEN, that you probably won't make more retarded animal babies! :*( but if this is what make's YOU happy, then i say DO IT!
how about something south park like
Did you resubmit a RAB movie recently (3/19/13)? Just wondering which one.... or if someone on NG's end did some tweaking to your collection folder. Hope something can be worked out to get your stuff distributed online, make a few bucks. YouTube's nice, but I'd never make an account there :|
ShameOnPretzel
R.A.B. randomly crosses my mind and I come here to read that two weeks ago you've basically moved on from the series. FML.
Flash animation may be on the downslide in terms of popularity, but in the days of pre-post-cancellation Family Guy, your adult-humour was KING. Just sayin'. Now all the best to ya.
