Meet Wick Waxbury, a cuphead fan character

He’s a candle, hence his head being the flame and the disconnected hands

He plays the piano or saxophone usually, but can sing if he needs to (voice of Michael Buble I think)

Also he’s actually on the shorter end of character heights in cuphead, somewhere close to the elder kettles height

Favorite songs to sing?

"Oh my, asking me my favourite songs is like...asking a mother who her favourite child is. It's impossible to choose....though...if I had to I'd say... it's 'All That Jazz'."

Today I was thinking about The Jazz Singer and it's stupid use of blackface. (It's the first movie to use speech audio and it's somehow gotta be racist?? Really???) Anyways imagine my delight to know it's now in the public domain. 😈

Love on the Rocks

This movie! The songs… Ok so I really never appreciated Neil Diamonds talents. That is until I saw The Jazz singer. Which I happen to be watching again as we speak. At first they say they want you, hear how they really need youSuddenly you find you’re out there walking in a storm.. Some really amazing lyrics (these stick out right about now), and his voice, well it’s pretty good too… So if…
