Rules of Cartoon Physics

Sep 29, 2008 22:12

For anyone interested, I was dusting off my toon deck the other day and thought to myself that people are still so very ignorant as to the laws governing our wonderously animated cartoon friends. Here therefore are my own rules of dealing with and predicting toon reactions. Once you get the hang of it, they're actually quite easy to follow and need ( Read more... )

My, my~

We do love our cartoons, don't we?

toon_master1 September 30 2008, 03:48:34 UTC

I do try to stick to the classics my dear.

Amazingly, I find much of the best cartoon work was done early on in the medium's history. The early cartoonists, with no path before them, produced work of such sophistication, wit, and beauty that it increasingly seems to me that cartoon evolution is working backward.

Comic strips today are moving toward a primordial goo rather than away from it. Not only can comics be more than we're getting today but the comics already have been more than we're seeing now. I won't name any names but todays artists are becoming horribly unimaginative.

Do you happen to have any favorites of your own?

Do adult comics count?

toon_master1 September 30 2008, 20:59:07 UTC

To each their own I suppose. Far be it for me to judge anyone on their preferences.

I'm sure you must have much more interesting pass times than myself.

walking_fantasy October 1 2008, 23:38:43 UTC

Oh, I've got some pretty interesting pastimes.

I'm sure you do too.

toon_master1 October 2 2008, 01:11:23 UTC

Would you care to share any of them with me? I do actually have some free time lately as I'm new to the city and I'm always looking for new entertainments.

walking_fantasy October 2 2008, 01:53:26 UTC

I'd be more than happy to. Is bar-hopping a speciality of yours?

If not, we can do something else. Ice skate or go rock wall climbing. Maybe even something like a laser tag.

toon_master1 October 2 2008, 05:18:59 UTC

Oh no, I can't say I'm very into the bar scene. As strange as it sounds I usually drink alone. Theres nothing like watching the sunset with a good Cabernet Sauvignon.

Are there ice skating facilities in Domino? I haven't done that since I was in Yellowstone years ago. Outdoor rinks are so rough. Something more civilized would be a wonderful treat.

walking_fantasy October 2 2008, 20:14:39 UTC

Sure there are. Just give me a date and I'll make it work.

Drinking alone is such a shame~

toon_master1 October 3 2008, 00:39:08 UTC

I do have the evening of the ninth off. Would that be too soon for us to meet?

walking_fantasy October 4 2008, 16:28:03 UTC

The ninth is great. Meet you at my apartment?

[Insert address]

toon_master1 October 4 2008, 17:05:29 UTC

Yes, I suppose that would do. Is there anything you think I should bring?

walking_fantasy October 5 2008, 04:54:59 UTC

Depends on how good of an ice skater you are. Bandages if you're bad.

toon_master1 October 5 2008, 18:01:50 UTC

Oh no, I'm not that terrible at it. Only a bit rusty. I'm sure I'll remember well enough once I'm on the ice again.

Thank-you very much for being so agreeable to this. I'll see you then.

walking_fantasy October 6 2008, 05:00:51 UTC

Hey, you're just as agreeable. See you then.
