Drawing Lots and Lots of Little Pictures- A Cartoon Thread

Futurama is at its best when it’s not trying to be topical, because… it’s weird that it would be. But while trying to cash in on things that were popular within the past five years doesn’t inspire confidence the jokes they cram in around those things are still *pretty funny*

Yeah, while I don’t watch regularly I happened to catch one of these, and while NFTs may be a flash-in-the-pan target (we can only hope), having it turn out that ancient quipu beads can solve impossible cryptography problems is still a fun gag.

Well the third episode of the new season is honestly one of the better Futurama episodes in a long while. It's not doing any topical references at all, and doesn't even rehash old jokes (except one I suppose).

It's not peak by any means, but it's better than it's been. Honestly if this were the season premiere instead of the NFT episode it might've done wonders to boost my confidence the season would turn out pretty good. But it took two mediocre episodes to get this good one so, eh, we'll see?

Honestly the Squid Game episode was joke dense and topical reference light enough that it was one of the better eps since the original revival.

That's a lovely short, thanks for posting it.

Yes, that was cool. Over the Garden Wall is still one of my favorite things.

Mystery Cuddlers, a new Adult Swim series, is really impressing me, with its neo-UPA animation style and its breezy plotting.
