Father's Day was last Sunday, in case you missed it. (And if you did - quick! Call your dad!)

Okay, it wasn't in honor of my birthday (which is, in fact, today), but be that as it may, Stephen Colbert mentioned Larry the Cucumber and showed a "mash-up" clip from VeggieTales against one of the veggie worship songs last night on his show. As with most Stephen Colbert shows, this clip has one mildly […]

This is just too cute. This is John, a 3 year-old fan of JellyTelly. He likes JellyTelly soooo much that his grandmother made him a stuffed Jelly to hug! I want one, too!
Thanks to John's dad Dave for sending in the pic!

Yeah, I know. I haven't posted in a while. Been… I dunno… distracted? Busy? Waiting for something really interesting to come along to talk about?
Yes, Obama addressing the Muslim world is interesting, but it isn't really my focus here. Oil prices… no, not me either. Lovely weather we're having. But this isn't a weather blog. […]

We'll be running new episodes every Tuesday for the next 10 weeks or so, so stop by every Tuesday and check out the latest installment. […]

In 2007 John and Eric sold Classic Media and the new Big Idea to a British company called Entertainment Rights, which […]

Okay, so I just finished telling you how we don't have the money for new shows for JellyTelly, and now here I am back again to tell you about a new show coming to JellyTelly! Weird, huh?
We bumped into two brothers - really wacky brothers - (and no, not the Bentley Brothers) who were trying […]

So I seem to have joined the "Children's Pastor's Conference of the Week Club" without realizing it. Last week I was in Greenville, SC to speak at a denominational conference. The week before I was in Toledo speaking at a regional conference put on by Westgate Chapel, the church that my Great Grandpa Vischer […]

An artist named DC Weiss paints a painting of a jellyfish, inspired by a quote from my book "Me, Myself & Bob." He videotapes the whole thing and puts it up on YouTube. Read on to see the video…

So I've got a cold. A nasty cold. I couldn't record VeggieTales characters to save my life right now - they'd all come out sounding like some really sick guy pretending to be VeggieTales characters. Which isn't all that funny.
But I had to do three radio interviews this morning, one at 7:20am. (Shout out to […]
