You guys know there's a criminally under-appreciated Superman series from the 90s where the characters don't sound like neurotic millennial writers in therapy & everyone is hot in a sexually dimorphic way because the designs are Bruce Timm & not Diet Anime? https://t.co/OtakYwRzhx

Fantagraphics & Georgetown Records Birthday trip report (this is an old pic, the weather sucked) 🧵 Image
First of all, in a nice bit of synchronicity I've just gotten into The Roches & was going to check for Roches records at Georgetown & whaddya know, they were playing this album when I got there! (did not buy though) Image
This was the first record I found. Homer & Jethro were a kind of hillbilly musical comedy act from the 1940s-60s Image

It seems like a cost-efficient way to create quality "adult animation" in America would be for talented animators like this guy to just be let loose with clips from popular podcasters - of course YouTubers have allowed this for years, but I think only "The Ricky Gervais Show" has tried to do it for broadcast TV - it eliminates the expenses of the writing/development process, much like Reality TV did - but this would be for a good cause, because it would be an alternative to hack cartoon writers coming up with the umpteenth Adult Cartoon Sitcom. The biggest problem, though, is that popular podcasters need to have the good taste to want the animation to be more expressive than Family Guy (which to them might be more "professional" looking) - to check their egos & trust the animation won't "overshadow" them. I think the latter is the biggest reason why animated series created by comedians, like "F For Family," have really stiff art & animation - whereas you can imagine some talented animator having a lot of fun with Bill Burr clips if they were just allowed to go nuts. "The Ricky Gervais Show" had a similar problem - you can tell he wanted it to look "cartoony" but the animation direction was still really conservative; just a bunch of pre-approved expressions, nothing "off-model," no creativity.
Sven Stoffels' Chip Chipperson Podacast clips are good example of doing this concept justice - it's limited animation but hey, look at that - limited animation doesn't have to mean bland drawings

These are Joe Rogan's officially sanctioned animation clips from the JRE podcast - you can see the problem. Even when it's just one guy at the top, & not a committee of TV execs, that one person still needs to have good taste Image

In the future, more American animation will inhabit an uncanny valley where producers want their final product to look like both anime (because that's hip) & Disney (because that's "quality") without understanding the visual appeal of either
There have already been rumblings of this over the years of course Image
The optimal fusion of Japanese & American cartoon art styles already happened. It's not going to look this good again because American cartoon art doesn't have a distinct identity worth fusing anymore, at least not for action animation Image

HRT access for kids is the ultimate filter in my view for who is off their rocker - we're not doing this anymore. Time's up.
Some of you guys are following this nut - sorry, but this is the only real filter anymore, because if you started buying into this ten years ago, & you weren't some impressionable teen but an actual grown adult already? You'll believe anything, & you probably have since then

This is bizarre from a guy who brags about starting the first "Gay-Straight Alliance" club at the high school where he taught

Unless, y'know, he's actually a self-hating gay man who's been in the closet his entire life, because he was born in 1964. Then it makes perfect sense
"Hehe, Michigan knows that word" = "I grew up in the Midwest & it was still the 1970s when I realized I liked other boys. Letting BLM burn down your cities gives me some small measure of revenge"
Seriously what other explanation is there for this indulgence in casual homophobia from Mr. LGBTQ rights ally. He knows everyone on social media is calling him gay, so he's trying to deflect it back by using "gay" as a pejorative? How is that any less morally schizophrenic?

If they’re a good artist, I’ll keep following a cartoonist on here even after they tro0n out, but I gotta draw the line when they start drawing themselves as their new gender, it’s just too sad. Have to suspect there’s few cartroonists who don’t draw themselves afterwards, either
Getting some predictable replies for this one. It’s like John k respecter days all over again
Sorry it'll be 2025 soon & we're not humoring the psyop anymore which happened to go nationwide right after gay marriage was passed a decade ago & the leftist industrial complex realized they needed a new cause & found one to spiritually castrate young white males, including kids
