Mortified's Online Debut: The Mortified Shoebox Show!



The Mortified Shoebox Show is a 100% independent production, and we hope you'll be as proud of the results as we are. Most of all, we are excited for you to see all the episodes we have on deck... and hope you will stay tuned as the series evolves. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this a unique viewing experience.

Check out this week's episode, Melissa's Page of Rage, excerpts from Melissa Wolfe's teen notebooks as animated by Andrew Covell:

ABOUT MORTIFIED:

Ripped from the pages of real life... Mortified is a comic excavation of adolescent artifacts-- old letters, lyrics, journals, poems, home movies, stories and more. Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by the likes of This American Life, The Today Show, Weekly, Esquire, Jane, Daily Candy and more... Mortified celebrates ordinary people and the extraordinary things they created as kids. There are amazing stories buried in the pages of people's lives. Our mission is to simply help find them. The largest and longest-running project of its kind, Mortified produces stage shows, books, and web content. Our latest book, the romantically challenged Mortified: Love Is a Battlefield can be found in stores that are notably awesome. Share the shame at getmortified.com.

MORTIFIED's next show in NYC: February 11 at Comix! Hosted by me, Anne Altman! Tickets on sale now! I love exclamation points when I'm trying to make a point!

Hey! I logged onto Yahoo tonight and the front news story was all about Mortified.

Reading your blog has inpired me to buy both books and I LOVE THEM. Read them both cover to cover in a day and half.

Im near Pittsburgh, so I hope to catch a live show one of these days!

Ha-- Melissa Wolfe used to work here at Nickelodeon. Maybe it's better that she's moved on, 'cause I'd never be able to talk to her without laughing in her face :D
