When was the last time a cartoon made you cry, /co/?
Hard mode:Happy tears.
For me it waswhen time was frozen in Rick and Morty and Rick did the knock knock "joke" that ended with "I love my grandkids!"
Almost
I've never actually cried at media, but I came damn close on that one quiet night, alone in front of the tv.
Always and forever
What /co/ character is most like you?
For me it's Jasper. Intelligent, nihilistic, and a wicked sense of humor.
>>87854719
that is the lamest piece of edgelord I have ever seen.
among SU characters, at best I am Greg, with the added benefit of baldness not being in my family but none of the optimism or hope, or possibly Peridot when I actually snap out of my depression I go full autismo, and then later I become deeply embarrassed that I went full social retard
in all honesty I see myself in this piece of shit, but I talk more than him, and he actually manages to do something with his life/plays an important role in the world.
>>87854719
also

>has a strong sense of alleigance to homeworld and the hierarchy of gems
>is fusionphobic
yeah sounds fucking nihilistic all right
Aight
I'm doing an independent study next semester and I'm meeting with my advisor to finalize the syllabus tomorrow. The study will be on 20th century comic strips, starting with Little Nemo In Slumberland and ending with Pearls Before Swine. I'm looking for milestone strips that really moved the medium forward. So far my reading list is:
Little Nemo in Slubberland
Krazy Kat
Rip Kirby
Dick Tracy
Peanuts
Superman (maybe)
Non Sequitur
Garfield
Calvin and Hobbes
Pearls Before Swine
What else belongs on this list?
Gasoline Alley. At least looking into how the strip aged its characters through its progression which is rather unheard of, even in most strips with an overreaching plot.
Ditch Non Sequiter, it's worthless, and research The Far Side instead. Why it's not on here is baffling to me. Doonesbury and Pogo definitely need a mention as well, moreso than Rip Kirby and the Superman strip.

This plus it fits in with the "moved the medium forward" part since it influenced Chris Ware.

Do a term paper on the deconstructionist dada of Heathcliff.
>mfw people act like Mr. Peanutbutter is pure
Look, BoJack trying to kiss Diane was a shitty thing to do, even if he does have lots of emotional issues, but pretending not to know and then getting him on national television with a plot to humiliate him in front of as many people as possible was, at the time that it happened, the worst thing anyone in the entire show had done besides BoJack's mother.
>>87854381
Fuck off, Bojack.
>>87854525
BoJack is an asshole too. He could literally spend a tiny fraction of the money he has on therapy, put in a bit of effort, and become a much happier person. He just refuses to because he'd rather hurt the people around him than face his insecurities, despite the fact that there's no way they're worse than the way he treats his friends already, and they stick by him. His problems are 99% his own fault at this point.
I'm just saying Mr. Peanutbutter isn't a great person either.
The purity scale goes
Todd > Vincent Adultman >>>> Princess Caroline >>> Everyone Else (there is an order, I'm sure, but I can't be assed to work it out)
Mr. Peanutbutter saw it all as an act to please the crowd. It was a dick move but it was less out of malice and more for giving what the crowd wants.
Not that Mr. PeanutButter is perfect, he's very superficial with examples like him going to Bojacks friends funeral just so he could mooch on the celebrities that were there or going overboard with Diane's party despite her explaining she doesn't want most of the things he gave her. But just about every character excluding Todd is superficial or think themselves greater or deeper then they actually are, the difference is Mr. PeanutButter whether through idiocy or an understanding of how the entertainment industry works has no qualms with admitting to this and because of it he seems to be the more ironically genuine character in the show.
Hey so I'm making a comic about a giant arena where characters from different universes, planets and time are placed by god like beings to survive to the last one standing. I want to have all the characters in the arena to be created by different people because I think it would be awesome for everyone to make a character and see them in a comic pitted against other people's characters. So please create and post your characters here if you're interested!
>>87854229
Oh, and then you steal the credit and we get nothing. I don't think so, motherfucker.
>>87854274
That is not my intention. I would make it clear that the characters were made by the community.

This guy killed Spider Man comics, thats pretty evil.
so... I'm going to school right now for animation. I'm not really in the school I really wanted to be. mind you, it's not something like art institutes or some other bullshit, but it's definitely not a school I wanted or hoped I'd be going to for myself... it's an art school that's supposedly nice, but the people who graduate from animation don't have work that looks as great as from schools like SVA or CalArts. I am so passionate about animation. this is all I want to do. do you think the school I go to really matters? is it more about the effort I as an individual put in? is there any way I can break out of the mold of average work I see being produced from the school and create something excellent, despite getting the same education as the "average" artists are getting?
none of them are really awful, it's just... the student films from other art schools look so much better, and I'm scared that I'm going to be stuck here doing work that I'm not happy or satisfied with simply because I'm not at CalArts.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, or if anyone is in a similar position... thanks, /co/
>>87852149
>do you think the school I go to really matters?
Industryfag here. The short answer to this question is 'Yeah, sort of'.
No, your student projects won't be as polished. Another thing you won't get from a less than top school is industry scouts and contacts. If those are super important to you, you're sunk.
If you're just looking to pick up some technical skills so that you have a rounded idea of what's involved in producing animation from an end-to-end perspective, then I'd say it's likely you're in a perfectly fine school and will come out of it knowing what you want to know. From there you can take your skills to Youtube and figure the rest out yourself. Solo animators have always been a thing, and have always been able to carve out their niches, long before computers and the internet made that more practical than ever.
>>87852149
I think it's more important to focus on your work being the best it can be and make connections while you can. Sure a schools reputation can make things easier but you have to have the talent and drive to carry you the rest of the way. Having a network and people willing to speak for you is also valuable.
>>87852149
I believe in you anon/femanon, you're already so much farther than most others, the only person who can limit you now is YOU, you will always be your biggest critic and however seriously you commit yourself to improving your art will determine how far in the game you get, a fancy name on your portfolio looks nice and the networking game in calarts is a huge deal but dammit all that should be your motivation to say "fuck that, they can kiss ass all they want but they wont beat me when they view my work" Fuck them, fuck all those pussy brown nosing little smug shits destroying animation thinking they all have it figured out because they have a Memearts degree and focus on your passion and beating them with your skill as a passionate strong independent animator who dont need no CalArts degree to prove his salt

Think of your least favorite writer. You know, that one whose very existence brings your piss to a boil.
They've just been given an ongoing starring your favorite character.
What happens?
>>87851789
Marvel comics.
>>87851789
I shitpost on /co/ about it.
>>87851789
I stop reading that character until he leaves.
A teenage genius wants to be an offshoot of Iron Man.
Literally Spider Man mixed with War Machine and Rescue.
Does it really need justification though? Marvel is trying something new. If it works (doubtful because Bendis) great. If it doesn't, it'll get cancelled. So what is the issue here exactly?
>>87851727
Better yet, justify this. This is casual racism at it's finest.
Why didn't kamala keep her original costume?
>>87851356
She pretty much spells it out in the very next issue.
Because she feels embarrassed and exposed in it, because the leotard rides up in an uncomfortable way, and because the boots pinch.
>>87851356
not burka enough
Because it's haram.
Kamala should feel lucky her parents don't make her wear a hijab as well.
Do you know anyone that looks like a cartoon or comic book character?
>>87851239
these people do not look alike, at all.
damn you people, thinking all blacks look alike
>>87851239
Lol, they don't look alike at all.
A disturbingly accurate depiction of my grandfather.
What does /co/ think is the worst cartoon of all time? I'll start.
>>87850995

How did the creators of SWAT Kats sink so low?
>>87850995
Good baseline. Johnny Test is the pinnacle of animated mediocrity, after all.
As for the worst, probably Caillou or Brickleberry.

Do you read tie in material, or do you view it as non-canon/unnecessary to read?
>>87850329
I read them, I guess they're canon until they're not, but it's always a fun read.
The only prequel comic I saw was the Dredd one since I wanted more Dredd.
I haven't read almost any of them, but I might check out the Doctor Strange one.
