Rules of Cartoon Physics

[toon_master1]

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

You have a fuckton of time on your hands.

No, really? How terribly observant of you Sir. Your astute observations must surely make you the life of every party.

My, my~

We do love our cartoons, don't we?

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?

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.
