While still in high school, he created a comic strip for the weekly teen section of the Sacramento Bee that ran from 1991-1993 before heading off to attend the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) where he earned his BFA in Film. While at CalArts, Bobby created several short animated films, including his senior piece for which he received a Student Emmy Award. Bobby joined Pixar Animation Studios in 1997 and has been an animator and story artist on many of the studio’s feature films including “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2,” “Monsters, Inc.,” and Academy Award®-winning features “Finding Nemo,” and “The Incredibles.” On the Golden Globe®-winning feature “Cars,” Bobby held the role of Directing Animator, and continued on as the Supervising Animator for Academy Award®-winning feature “Toy Story 3.” When not working on animated films, Bobby continued to draw cartoons for himself. From 2003-2004, in the age before social media, Bobby created the web comic Six Foot Six Year Old. Bobby briefly left Pixar in 2011. During that time he served as the Chief Creative Officer of a venture backed entertainment start-up as well as worked in film development for various animation studios. He returned to Pixar to animate on “Inside Out,” “The Good Dinosaur,” “Finding Dory,” “Toy Story 4,” and “Onward.” He was a Supervising Animator on “Cars 3” and Pixar’s Academy Award®-winning feature film “Soul.” Bobby most recently directed episodes of the Disney+ series “Cars on the Road,” and worked on “Inside Out 2” and “Elio”. In addition to his work at Pixar, Bobby’s debut middle-grade graphic novel from First Second Books, NORTH FOR THE WINTER, arrived in bookstores September 2, 2025. Bobby lives in Oakland, California with his wife, daughter, son, a few chickens, and a couple of pretty cute dogs. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/six-foot-six-year-old daily 0.75 2020-07-23

Comic Strip Boxes The single panel box template. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595438836189-HSS789I5WKY6AZP8AO2S/BoxesThree.jpg Comic Strip Boxes For some reason, I rarely wrote two panel strips. For this reason, the box template jumped from a single panel to three panels, skipping two all “two”-gether. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595438867013-VFY9S2OJGHWOXLSNYDL6/BoxesFour.jpg Comic Strip Boxes Four panels was about the limit for what would fit in terms of strip size. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/comic-strip-writing daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595430028364-2LCIUFZ1DBRMN3CIGA60/Writing01.jpg Comic Strip Writing There’s a lot of writing that never makes it to the drawing stage for one reason or another. None of these ideas ended up becoming strips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595430112732-Z9OIANSHY3XUA49SVLW6/Writing02.jpg Comic Strip Writing Some strips don’t have any dialogue, like the crossed out doodles near the top of this page. Even though they were scratched out (for some reason I can’t remember) the idea was drawn up and became the last strip in the series. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/comic-strip-pencils daily 0.75 2020-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595440403884-9CTFEUAN9LG9DGMH9IS5/Pencil01.jpg Comic Strip Pencils Since the main character doesn’t move in the first three panels, I had to draw him over and over and over again. Nowadays if this were to be done digitally, it would be a simple copy and paste job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595440536342-B62MUD6O9OVPE38081OZ/Pencil02.jpg Comic Strip Pencils Here you can see the lines laid out across all the panels for the dialogue. This was done before any character drawing took place in order to make sure the spacing of the words was correct and there was enough room for the characters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595440612780-CFY63KN90VO24PJLSKNI/Pencil03.jpg Comic Strip Pencils Some of my favorite strips to create were ones without any words at all, like this one. As someone once told me, hair is wasted on the youth. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/comic-strip-inking daily 0.75 2020-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595441544062-DUCZNK7PDB5ZVEQH3P7Y/HalfInk01.jpg Comic Strip Inking Here you can see the boxes and dialogue inked. This is also an example where I broke with the typical box layout. Story-wise, this was a storyline where I was going to explore the job of the dad character. I had him running an ice cream shop (Inspired by Vic’s Ice Cream in Sacramento, California) but I stopped producing the strip before that storyline developed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595441732643-W0OKVV0T13HG5T0031UI/HalfInk02.jpg Comic Strip Inking Here’s another example of the panel boxes and dialogue inked in first. This is also another abandoned storyline revolving around the main character having discussions with his manifested conscience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595441861799-5HAMTJXP3YGPUJ5XDPKE/HalfInk03.jpg Comic Strip Inking In this example all of the boxes, dialogue, and characters are inked. What’s left are the smaller details that I would follow up with a finer Micron pen. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/comic-strip-iterations daily 0.75 2020-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595442197021-0AC35NCKUAYGZ1VNSYRH/MultipleTries02A.jpg Comic Strip Iterations When I started the strip, the boxes were inked with a brush, which was chunkier and not as crisp as I was looking for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595442222320-0S9T5JNQEE1NXO7SBSPR/MultipleTries03A.jpg Comic Strip Iterations While the writing and staging of the panels didn’t change, the drawing style had evolved enough that I felt like the strip would benefit from being redone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595442249279-P8PASPHFJZNLOXAJHODF/MultipleTries04A.jpg Comic Strip Iterations Like the earlier example, this strip was chunkier in the line quality than I wanted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595442273398-SVYZZ8TRT81LFBXHOLNP/MultipleTries04B.jpg Comic Strip Iterations Here I began to crisp up the line work, but also chose to change the inking and staging of the third panel for emphasis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee40bdf111936375a0285be/1595442295420-TVR3TK9WXX9KQASERNDA/MultipleTries04C.jpg Comic Strip Iterations For this iteration, the biggest change was to how I was depicting the action in the last two panels. I decided I wanted to show the impact of the son yelling with the mom character losing the laundry in the same panel, and then redraw the results in the final panel.
