That Chuck Jones comic is pretty neat.Drakyn posted:A webcomics guy already wrote it, and as a bonus it's a Frasier movie too. That reminds me, I should really catch up on Clown Corps. Anyways, in today's Blueberry: Walk on by Pearl, 'cause foolish pride is all that he has left or Pearl makes an enemy for life that will never stop tracking her down (we will never see him again) or Pearl's full fall to villainy is underlined by her backing the blue    God-drat it. 'County' should be 'Bounty'. Stupid autocorrect... Samovar fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Nov 5, 2022 |

(the Sunday strip got posted two days in a row too, for whatever it's worth) poo poo!!! i usually catch it but not this time, either the script we cooked up for A+J is wonky or the way gocomics works doesn't like it, but sometimes it just feeds me a dupe and i go fix it manually let me post all that's missing from that week and we'll reset to a Sunday strip tomorrow: November 27th, 2000  November 30th, 2000  December 1st, 2000

Eight years ago they had all of Columbo on Netflix and I binge watched it while treadmill running during my lunch time. I used to watch the show with my Mom when I was a little kid. The author did an amazing job getting the tone of both shows! I love the introduction panel of him sitting in a chair and his feet are too small to touch the floor or even bend.

So despite being a world unique fantasy world inhabited by animals, we've had at least two King Georges (seeing as the state of Georgia is named after King George II), which means we've had a Great Britain, and we've had Great Britain colonizing the continent of North America. Since it's not a British colony anymore, we've also had exact animal counterparts for all the key people needed for the American Revolution, and probably everything else has played out identically since then as well, with the exception that it's all bears and flys and beetles and giraffes. So who was the Hitler in this world? The Stalin? Just two lovely little pugs or something? Or did anyone even notice or care, because this is a world where 50% of the population can just kill and eat the other 50% at will, so things like "genocide" kinda become meaningless?

I feel like the Cars Hitler thought experiment is a lot more damning when applied to Kevin and Kell because Holbrook keeps suggesting that animals are somehow morally superior to people in the real world despite the fact that functionally speaking their world appears to be identical to our own except for all the legalized murder.

Even animated, late stage Chuck Jones is awful. Check out his version of The Jungle Book if you want to see animation smirk worse than Batiuk. His mediocre take on Tom and Jerry does this, too. It’s an even bigger letdown when you recall his fame rests on beautifully animated facial expressions. Somehow, he forgot how to do that. I always prefer his experimental early work. I’m curious to see Mr. Big in Bullwinkle. I know I’ve seen him before but I can’t remember what he looked like. I think he was a generic American man in a business suit.

Hostile V posted:It also helps when it's in motion, seeing this is like seeing individual animation frames out of context and it just reminds me of, like...I don't even know, I think you're hitting the nail on the head with calling it a parody of his own work. The sameyness of the bodytypes loses some of the punch that you'd get from putting different types of characters up against each other and it's really just evocative of the 1970s school of animation where everyone just looks like they're a little too drunk and maudlin and looking for an excuse to start saying some mean poo poo and start an argument. Adding to this, while Jones was a brilliant cartoon director, his own writing was hit or miss. His best work in animation benefited from the writers he collaborated with, mainly Michael Maltese on "Looney Tunes" and Dr. Seuss on the "Grinch" special. Jones's cartoons tended to suffer when he was doing his own story or working with a weak writer. That's not to take away his achievements in animation; Jones was responsible for some of the best cartoons ("Dover Boys" is a classic for a reason). But DIRECTING and WRITING are different skills. Some can do both, others are only good at one or the other. And yeah, Jones's later cartoons are "ehhhh". His best work was definitely in the 1950s, with a few hits into the 1960s like "Grinch".

I'd assume so given the sheer volume of participants and one of the goals of the exercise is to stop thinking about the great story you could write and to actually write. It's a good way to good habit yourself into a rough draft.

Once again Foob’s half assedly updating the setting to modern day is just bizarre. It’s fine if the strip is set in the 90s. You don’t need to update the car model but not the price.
