Muffin disclaimer

So you’ve ordered a muffin! We hope you’re up for a challenge.

Our wobbly tabby cat Bea REALLY likes muffins so there are a few things to be aware of if you have a muffin in the cat area.

- She WILL climb you to try and get your muffin - She is not very good at climbing so she will claw her way up your body - It WILL hurt - She WILL NOT give up - She may try to eat the muffin right out of your mouth - She is not allowed to eat muffins

You may pick her up / move her away if needed and if you’re really struggling, come and talk to us and we will help. No matter how much she wants to, it is still very important that you don’t let her eat any muffin as it will make her sick.

Good luck and we hope you enjoy your muffin experience!

She may look sweet and innocent but we promise you she’s not

Happy Easter!

you know what they say. Makin pancakes makin bacon pancakes take some bacon and i’ll put in in a pancake bacon pancakes that what it’s gonna make bacon pancake

Chuck Jones is the best counterexample to “the curtains are just blue” because you would not believe the amount of thought and art theory he put into his silly little cartoons

I need to dig out my Chuck Jones books but one time he was talking about the Wile E Coyote gag where he runs off a cliff and continues running for a little bit before noticing there’s no ground underneath him and then turns to the camera and holds up a sign saying “Help!” before plummeting and Jones said the reason Coyote does that instead of immediately trying to get back to the cliff edge is bc Coyote embodies anxiety and in that particular moment represents the fear and worry about the judgement of others over and above the desire for self-preservation.

Like, if someone was told that interpretation without knowing any better they’d think it came from some pretentious academic or whatever but nope! It’s literally the creator like those are the thoughts he had in his head when he was creating the cartoons

the Nine Rules of the Roadrunner cartoons always sticks with me. Rule 3 especially

via

Cartoons are a fantastic way to discuss mythology and world building. The Coyote has situational gravity, Bugs Bunny is frequently a retaliation of hubris, Daffy Duck as a corruption arc (look at his original cartoons -- he was silly -- to the later ones -- he is greedy).

The flawed, easy logic is "it's a cartoon, anything can happen."

No.

Not anything.

The logical thing in an irrational universe. God/Magic/Everything exists to continue the bit. There is a math to it. A music.

Reject everything that doesn't make the next step forward at maximum speed towards laughter (or amusement or enjoyment or whatever you're going for).

It is. To me. An incredibly pure form of art.

Strip out everything to the bare metal and keep only what the audience and/or creator will enjoy the most. Everything beyond this path is waste.

and if that isn't enough?!

THIS IS YOUR FIRST YEAR OF ART SCHOOL -- POSSIBLY MORE -- IN A FEW IMAGES

Drama. Perspective. Foreground. COLOR THEORY.

sorry.

I get. Emotional.

Cartoons are underrated. Or were. They're starting to get their due these last many years.

My life goals VS Executive Dysfunction. Or not knowing what you want from life because if you’d want it you’d do it...right??

This one is a little sad because I don’t have the answer myself yet. (I only have this problem unmedicated though)

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Then bring me luck

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

Reblogging because I really need some good luck

Even if this isn't lucky, potatoes are awesome
