"Hey I'm Bill Connolly your cartoonist and artist extraordinaire with my favorite thing to do is to turn yourself into a cartoon. You can start by making your face and exaggerating everything just having a lot of fun with it, giving yourself a huge smile. If you have lively eyes you can make them even worse, livelier, exaggerate all your features and make yourself into a cartoon character. You can add things. If you like to drive cars you can put yourself on one of those little Wal-Mart cars, little steering wheel here coming in and we used to do that drawing caricatures all the, somebody come along and get somebody who was really seriously into it and you would make them like on a toy kiddy car and you are only limited by your own imagination as you get more automatic at it you can add little figures in here, you can add a little kid that is crying because you are taking his turn and tears, so that is about all the time we have for it but that is how to turn yourself into an animated cartoon character. Have a lot of fun with it and enjoy yourself. I'm Bill Connolly, your cartoonist and artist extraordinaire. Thanks for watching."
