doodle scans and new comic wip (and new boss design courtesy of my gf)
Added 2025-01-28 22:13:09 +0000 UTCi had this comic idea for a while and im very happy i didnt plan it out or anything like that i just kind of scribbled what i thought was funny-- some dialogue and jokes dont make much sense but i want to go back and edit it digitally eventually

omg thank you thank you thank you!!! i swear something rubbed me the wrong way when i read toni's lackluster "oh and we'll add puppets so kids will get it" line, like that smacks of not taking the entertainment aspect of it as seriously as they should almost talking down about their audience. oh it's just kids right??? just slap in puppets and colors and they'll "get it" right? this comic and your response kinda has me thinking that Lawrence has control issues and is relatively dismissive of having to do the "entertainment" aspect of the show while Toni has people-pleasing, ultracompromising tendencies which causes his aspects of the show (the "kid stuff") aspects to not be fully developed. they make me so weepy and i could write whole essays. miss shea you are gift from a loving universe please never stop

2025-01-29 04:23:48 +0000 UTCthis is fascinating. L&T clearly know how to make entertainment of educational value and their pitch method relies on that, but in a cynical TV world their pitch should've done the opposite; Toni's creative "paste a smile on it and make it something a kid would get" should come first as a hook. Lawrence's research provides the meat that brings it all together. I love that they're amateurs and they clearly try so hard and I would love to see them get better (or not??) at the more corporate aspects of what they do

2025-01-28 22:25:25 +0000 UTCTheir faces at the end are such a damn mood. Also loving the commentary on modern kids' TV, which is very fast-paced, obnoxious, oversaturated and has been proven to overstimulate kids. But im happy that Lawrence & Toni genuinely care enough about children's education in order to create wholesome entertainment that, as your pilot highlights, appeals to both kids and their parents. Love your stuff, hope you keep at it, speaking as someone who's making an animated series themselves, i know how exausting it can be, but i also know that no matter who will or won't be watching, it's all be worth it in the end.
