he’s in a commercial for his web site. it ran all last week and will run again this week. if you see it, scream real loud so we’ll know you saw it. don’t just scream, though. point and wave your hands like a monkey. then jump up (and down, don’t forget the down part) until your parents yell at you. THEN write to him and tell him you saw it at asteroidandy@hallmark.com!

these are roughly the times it will be on this week:

Discovery Kids Channel Tuesday-Saturday 5-7am and 6-9pm

Disney XD Tuesday-Saturday 5-7am and 6-9pm

Nickelodeon Tuesday-Saturday 5-7am

way to be famous, andy!!!
