There is a piece in last week’s New Yorker on Andrew Stanton, the writer of “Finding Nemo” and other very successful Pixar films. In it is a brief mention of how the animators of “Finding Nemo” added eyebrows to the fish. Most All fish do not own eyebrows. According to Stanton, they were added because, “…eyebrows are the feature, in people, that tells you that someone is thinking, that they’re alive.” 

This goes with my belief that Foxx the rapper is a real-life comedian in the way he not only spaces out his lines as if he were structuring a joke, but adding the emphasis in his eyebrows to sell it even more. Think Groucho Marx in all his glory. Will be in contact with Pixar and Andrew Stanton about Foxx voicing an animated character that’s always under the influence. Yogi Bear could use a sequel. Foxx would be Boo Boo. Free Boosie Boo.

(Sidenote: How did Jon Caramanica write a whole piece on country artists and their hat selection that was more than two paragraphs long in the NY Times? Can someone help me write a piece about rappers and their usage of eyebrows/facial expressions when rapping that would then be picked up by the New York Times?)
