did you record any video reactions to specific moments in that TDTEBU film y'watched?

I DIDN'T, because i wasn't going in blind, and that's also just not really something i do... but i did capture the end-credits gag just to capture the last snippet of one of the best theatergoing experiences of my life :)

Do you think you're running out of smears

I went over how many potential frames there are in each show a while back, it’s safe to say that I’ve got a good 3 years or so considering the pace I go.

To be honest, I go at a very sedate speed on this blog, if you told me I’d still be doing this in 10 years I’d not be too shocked.

[talk-to-the-mercs]

is big chungus funny?

Scout: That’s sorta like askin’ if an apple is funny. Not by itself, no, but if I, like, throw it at Spy? Hilarious.

Spy: [sneering] I would use it to make you into a fritter.

Scout: Try me, cyclops!

Spy: ...

Scout: Oh god...um...sorry, I call Demo that...and...y’know, he’s got an eyepatch an’ all.

Spy: Of course.

Scout: Nah, nah, Spy I...I think it looks great on you! Ya look all...scary and stuff. Like a supervillain!

Spy: ...don’t patronize me.

Scout: Seriously! Look, have you ever seen a guy in an eyepatch that wasn’t all...all suave and junk? And pirates! They’re creepy, right? You can strike fear into your enemies, yea? C’mon gimme a smug, evil smirk! Like you just killed a B.L.U Scout! There we go! Yeah, that’s it! See, with a look like that, you could anybody crap their pants!

Spy: I could make you soil yourself. But...I suppose with those B.L.U mongrels, it is enough.

Scout: That’s the spirit...sorta...

not today, ya pornbot

[naradreamscape]

hey fauna, thanks for the response to my art did you know Shane Dawson thinks Chuck e cheese pizza is recycled

It’s no problem at all, I always like getting submissions! And yeah, my mother saw that as a headline today, and read it out to me from the other room. We all roasted him for a good while...I theorized that someone must’ve had a particularly bad slice of CEC pizza at some point, and told Dawson that it “was so stale it must’ve been leftovers”, and now CEC as a company had to publicly declare that they make food fresh

[ducktracy]

oh; another random Q; what’re your thoughts on the rumors of the next looney tunes thing being “slice-of-life-y” according to this pic?

(i discussed this earlier with a friend and they said it could work provided they have the right workers, and uhh my mind immediately jumped to WB hiring you and all the others working on spongebob when i thought about it)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnothankyou :') i've said many choice words on TLTS time and time again, i've made peace with the fact that it'll never be for me... i respect the people who work on it and it makes me laugh in doses, i understand why it's popular, but i disagree with TLTS' existence fundamentally, i very much disagree with the idea that these guys should be in a sitcom or slice of life setting. keep in mind you're talking to someone who is willing to defend/enjoy Wabbit over TLTS anyday so maybe i'm just the wrong person to ask, but i very much do not enjoy TLTS and personally disagree very much so with this tweet. the damage TLTS has done to the world's perception of these characters is irreparable (HYPERBOLE)

YOU'RE SWEET TO THINK OF ME THOUGH! i have maintained for years that if LT HAAAD to go a sitcom/slice of life route, i think an Odd Couple type show with Porky and Daffy would be best for that. and Duck Dodgers is proof, as i think it's the best post classic LT show (it's even trumped a bit of my love for LTC in terms of consistent enjoyment). so that would be fun to try.

i've said my piece on TLTS too many times, but here are some more recent-ish thoughts as to why i disagree

this i think sums up my feelings best. i also recently described TLTS as my bitter ex which i very much feel about it.

[ducktracy]

souhh, as a looney tunes buff, what’re your condolences on this (self-imposed or not) decision on LTC to not have 40’s-era daffy interact with bugs?

(this is prolly somethin’ i’d ask ya on discord, but i haven’t heard from that in a while (and also sorry for gettin’ nosy))

hey!! i’m very sorry to you and everyone whose left DMs on Discord or otherwise, i’ve been very very busy and a bit overwhelmed by a looooot of messages from a lot of people, so i haven’t had a proper chance to sit down and dedicate my full attention to respond (i know it’s hypocritical of me to answer asks heh, but it’s more self contained and im kinda doing it as a way to psyche myself up to answering 80+ Discord messages) so i thank you for your patience and understanding :)

but to answer your question: i largely, yet reluctantly agree.. i was discussing the Bugs and Daffy cartoon that never was with friends in another server, and someone very accurately described it as being beneath both characters’ M-Os. obviously we just got a little snippet, not the whole thing, so who’s to say—but what we have does seem more comparable to a sort of story done at Walter Lantz (Bugs and Daffy present Pantry Panic) or Terrytoons rather than a tried and true WB short made for the characters’ strengths in mind. it was probably best that it was scrapped for that reason—i’d be interested to see the remainder of the boards, but it does feel like a rather nonspecific story to give them that doesn’t play to either of their strengths, and that’s especially a bit of a priority with the high standard these directors and writers have set for themselves

the contrarian and stubbornness in me still thinks its possible, but i think you are going to end up with some standard of redundancy by pairing up “wacky” Daffy and a wilier Bugs. there will be little differences and quirks, and i focus a lot on these differences and quirks and that’s sort of what’s led me to beat my drum about GUYS THEY’D BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!, but the bigger picture just paints one of redundancy. i’m sure it’s possible, especially done by people who truly know the ins and outs of the characters (and i love my LTC friends and kin, this is not a knock against you at all, you guys are truly wonderful and should know my fanaticism i hold for you and the show! but i have a lot of critiques for how Daffy is portrayed in LTC in particular, a lot of the nuances and delicacies of Daffy’s more screwball persona are really missed and so i wonder just how successfully that would’ve panned out…. it sounds like they were aware of this too, judging by the message here), but i maintain my position that Bugs and Daffy are characters who weren’t really ever meant to be together, at least not without a major magnification (ie rehaul.. i’m pedantic, Daffy has always had the qualities of the Jones duck even at some of his most primitive) of certain traits to make it work. and it’s not all on Daffy, either, poor Bugs had to be relegated to a life of boring domesticity and apathy.. it’s not a coincidence that my favorite incarnations of each character are when they behave the most similarly.

otherwise you end up with two Daffys or two Bugses, both very strong personalities that clash and override each other into redundancy rather than compliment. what purpose does one serve that the other couldn’t, etc. there are nuances and differences, but largely, structurally, speaking in generalizations, there’s just too much overlap. even in “canon” instances where we have them interacting together in this time period, like this radio bit, they sort of exist adjacently between one another rather than any meaningful interaction

what is interesting though is that the Dell comics have tried pairing them up on occasion! i don’t have the full story on hand right now as it’s been a few years since i found it, but there was one story where they’re together and Daffy actually comes out on top! though there’s certainly more of that conflict/embitterment from Daffy to make them stand out, even then

though something i noticed the other day in regards to the Bugs and Daffy planned cartoon news.. i could still be stretching, but i thought it was interesting:

i saw porky at sixflags dressed in this snazzy jacket and it reminded me of your twitter thread about his many jacket colors so

(thread in question because i started thinking about it again lately having, once again, pondered the elusive 3 piece suit combo of the 1980s) RED JACKET PORKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT HIS BOW TIE WOW THAT IS A SNAZZY CUT OF HAM (< ? why)! HE IS BEAUTIFUL thank you for showing me...

BACK WHEN PIGGY BANK WAS AN INTERNET MEME…. i tend to balk at most internet trends but this was one i could get behind. between this and Foghorn Leghorn getting really popular for some reason i am very pleased with the semi-routineness of LT becoming a meme and, hopefully, inspiring people to check out the originals. using memes for good

[ducktracy]

didja see the spongebob superbowl on nickelodeon? it was really entertainin'

(really demonstrating how late i am to answering these) SURE DID!!!! i didn’t see all of it but i enjoyed what little i saw!! it was really fun getting to hear Tom and Bill banter, even my parents were getting into it. evidently one of my dad’s coworkers watched the Nickelodeon feed of the superbowl thinking that it was the DEFAULT feed of the superbowl and was very confused which is hilarious to me
