Tutenstein captures the Daytime Emmy for Best Cartoon two years running
Image via Wikipedia
More than a decade had passed since Jay Stephens, a Guelph comic artist, had first dreamed up the idea of a mummified, reanimated Egyptian boy-king.
Although Tutenstein was conceived in Stephens’ vivid imagination and brought to life by Stephens’ pencil, the Emmys went to the immense team of producers and animators that broadcast the character to millions of homes. So it was the producers, not Stephens, who accepted the Emmy statuette on award night.
Still, Stephens was proud of his little undead boy-king.
“I almost felt like Tutenstein was this kid that had gone off to college and calls home to say he’s done really well,” Stephens recalls. “I was happy for him.”

I wouldn’t exactly call this a comment, but I just want to say that I am also really proud about the hit series, “Tutenstein”, because I am a truly big fan of the series. (the fact that I love learning things on Egypt) What I really want is if whoever is responding to this letter, if you can ask Jay Stephens if his hit movie, “Tutenstein: Clash of the Pharaohs”, is coming to DVD, or at least will be posted on the internet, because I technically don’t have cable where I live, and the only time I ever get to watch “Tutenstein” is if I go to my friend’s house. I would rather much like to see it, it sounds interesting the fact that I heard that it was a TV Special! Please ask Jay Stephens if he could make it onto DVD, if not planning to. Thank you for your time!
