Modern Cartoons
November 4th, 2011 – By Eric
Let me be clear — I’m certainly not bashing any of the artists or even writers of The New Looney Tunes show. I just think it’s kind of retarded to reimagine beloved, timeless characters that worked just fine in their old element. They were funny. They’re still funny. I understand times are changing and Bugs Bunny might use a cell phone as a part of a gag. But do they really need to drive cars and live together in a sitcom environment? Bleugh.
Why do I care? Well, I have spent the last several years with the Looney Tunes characters, bringing the CGI-3D theatrical shorts to life. Last year we did 3 Wile Coyote cartoons and this year we have a Daffy + Elmer short, Sylvester + Tweety, and another Wile Coyote + Road Runner short. I was animation lead on Elmer, Tweety, and Road Runner. I think they are awesome shorts because we tried our best to capture the old style…old personality, old animation look even. Sure they are CGI (lets have that argument another day) but they still feel like the old characters. If you want to make a modern sitcom cartoon, make some new characters. I’ve got tons of crappy character ideas if you want some help.
It’s just that…I loved these Looneys so dang much… a little… too much…
…sexually…
Anyway, check out “I Tawt I Taw a Putty Tat”, playing in front of Happy Feet 2, in theaters November 18th. It doesn’t suck, I promise. It even features the voice of the long dead Mel Blanc. How cool is that!?
If you don’t understand what’s going on in the last panel, here is the answer. I hope it reads. I guess that image horrified me so much as a teenager that I just assume it’s burned into everyone elses mind as well.
If you want to see more of my animation check out my demo reel, biatches. It’s my birthday today, so send me naked photos of yourself and lie to me about how talented I am.
SUPER FREAKIN SPECIAL THANKS to donators Adrian Love and Theodore Hill! Theodore donated a metric shit-ton of money so his likeness gets to be in a future comic. Thems the rules. Donate a enough money and get yourself drawn up in some embarrassing, immature situation (if you’re really lucky, it will involve dick jokes).

So you guys work at ReelFX? Amazing studio! I am trying to get approved for RFXU this January as an animator. Rock on making Looney Toons that Tex Avery and Chuck Jones would be proud of! Maybe, if I’m lucky, I’ll see you there.
Thanks duders. I do work at ReelFX… Rob is back in the homeland of New Jersey, being the ambassador of awesome. Hope to see you man, it’s a great place to be!
this is the best webcomic discovery i’ve made since “questionable content” or “perry bible fellowship”.
this shit is brilliant. and hysterical.
i can’t wait for more!
That is some high praise! You must want something from us. Well, whatever it is, it’s yours.
While I love the comic, I hate you for ever reminding me that movie existed. Not sleeping tonight, I appreciate it.
This new Looney Tunes show (not the theatrical shorts) is raping my childhood in so many ways. In other news, Happy birthday motha-trucka! Found the site today and I’ve been digging it so far, keep up the good work guys.
Ah, another webcomic discovery that I’m done archive diving on the day I discover it… and now I must wait for another update like a normal person. Le sigh.
In other news I have found the comic quite enjoyable and high brow… cough… well it’s enjoyable and I had many a good lol, so that’s something
Happy birthday Eric!
God bugs’ face is fucking creepy…
Oh… kay?… I guess last panel is the reaction of a movie I never saw to the sitcom I’ve never seen, XD
Happy birthday by the way.
Oh wow. Thats real funny…
C’mon guys, don’t give up on your outlandish shtick. Thats your only real source of idividualism.
Awesome jawsome!!!
I hadn’t heard of this, and didn’t think it could be all that bad until I clicked on the link provided. I haven’t cringed that much since…fuck I don’t think two girls one cup got even half as many…and there’s more, geezus…This is the devistation of a childhood. This is worse than any rule 34.
I wanted to take the time to mention that I saw some of your work in the movie theater, and the nostalgia combined with the awesome overwhelmed me to tears. thank you.
ALSO THIS WEBCOMIC IS KREDIT TO TEAM.
You just made my day, sir!
I love how Elmer shot himself in the face and only has a black mark but is still dead.
I thought Bugs was smiling…It made everything all the creepier.
Also, what’s going on with Daffy? It looks like he hanged himself. Or he was just hanged at least.
Ah, yes. The Ring. The ever-terrifying movie. I hated that shit.
Love this webcomic.
