One thing I find interesting about the "default" corporate artstyle for looney tunes stuff from around the 90s onward (the "evergreen" style, if you wanna borrow a term from the Transformers fandom) is like this weird mishmash of Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng's styles

INTERESTING, i’ve never thought about Friz being a part of the occasion but i can see it! makes sense since they were the two of the Big directors to live the longest (and is why i think the Jones interpretations of the characters, or, a slightly unreasonable facsimile of them, were so pushed in the 90s/00s, since he lived the longest and was clearly the most vocal)… i’ve always just referred to the style as Corporate Jones which i’m pretty sure i stole from someone else HAHA. the 90s corporate style LT characters feel like their own separate entity entirely. they’re like the weird body doubles from Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers to me, they aren’t real and likely aren’t of this world

(Daffy's stock pose from the '50s is my favorite ever, but this model sheet from what i'm presuming is the Bugs Bunny Show is more relevant to our purposes of comparison)

see what i mean. these are not Bugs Bunny or Porky Pig or Daffy Duck. they are FAKE and full of DARKNESS

We are heartbroken to share the tragic news of the death of Jonathan Joss—beloved actor, artist, and gay icon—who was fatally shot on June 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. He was 59 years old. Authorities are investigating the possibility of a hate crime.

Jonathan, of Comanche and White Mountain Apache heritage, rose to fame as the voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill and appeared in acclaimed films such as The Magnificent Seven and True Grit. Beyond his screen work, he was a tireless advocate for Native sovereignty, queer visibility, and authentic representation.

In recent years, Jonathan came out publicly as a gay man and remained fiercely proud of both his Indigenous and queer identities. He is survived by his husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, with whom he shared a life rooted in love, art, and community.

Jonathan’s legacy is one of courage, truth, and unapologetic presence. His impact on two-spirit and LGBTQ+ Indigenous youth—and on all of us who saw ourselves in his work—cannot be overstated.

We mourn his loss. We honor his voice. We demand justice. Rest in power, Jonathan Joss. You are remembered. You are loved.
