hell I don't I even have a problem if you stick around on it but if you only have JUST twitter (or any one single website) for art and nowhere else you are setting yourself up for failure dog. Anything could go up in smoke in seconds

It's also my favorite animation anecdote of all time--the drawing is helpful, but Corny's response to Chuck is where the real joy lies
![(shortened for text limit) So it was something like that [sketching Daffy Duck on a napkin]; and I had an Alfonso Bedoya guy on a donkey. So I was writing this story, and everybody laughed, everybody liked it. I finished the story, then Chuck takes it in his room to do. Three weeks go by, six weeks go by, and Chuck is looking grumpier and grumpier every day; and he's not talking to me. I don't know why. I'm doing the next story, which is a Martian something, and I'm doing some story followup; either that, or I'm writing a Coyote and Road-Runner thing. He finally peeks in the door—he's in the room right next to me—and he says, "Corny, I've got to talk with you. Come into my room." He's got all this storyboard in front of him; he's got a few of my drawings down, and he's got all these scribbles, scratched over. He's been on this thing for five weeks, and he can't do anything with it. He says, "I can't do this." I said, "What's wrong?" "This is not my Daffy Duck."
After six weeks of doing this storyboard, and getting a response from everybody, laughing, and knowing that the one reason he can't draw is that he's tied down by my drawing—he's not tied down by the story, but he doesn't know how to work to take it from there. There's too much information for him to work with, so he's not happy. He doesn't like it, because it isn't him. He's really angry by this time; he's forgotten who I am. Being quick-tempered and a little annoyed by this time—because I didn't know that he wasn't going to do this story—I looked at him and I said, "You know what, Chuck? You can take your Daffy Duck and you can ram him up your asshole." That's about the time Willie was home, with his wife being pregnant, and I sort of resigned from Warner Bros. It was a mutual thing; he looked for a job for me, he called [Steve] Bosustow, and he was trying to set it up. I was ready to leave anyway; I was married by this time, and my wife was making more as a secretary than I was. So I left and went to UPA.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5pat57vk6j22v5zrl5z2dlzm/bafkreidw5qneh467ouvutv53oc56h3q5rsatsxeglu5swjbfwjporg4ubi)
What if John Cena's character in the finale of #CoyotevsAcme says, “Buddy Crane, what a joke,” throws his tie away, and wears Judge Doom’s hat and sunglasses in his honor

A hearty happy 80th to The Great Piggy Bank Robbery, forever my favorite cartoon!
RYAN ROE: How do you usually like to get around in New York? Do you take the subway? The bus? ELMO: Elmo likes to walk. JOE HENNES: Yeah? ELMO: It's not a funny answer, but it's an answer. #ToughPigs25

that’s nuts, i had no idea she was real
these crossovers are getting way too out of hand
I recall saying that there has never been a consistent non-white mascot that these companies have cooked up without going into full-on caricature. I think we take for granted how often cartoonists desperately want to do goofy designs, which is why white people lucked out in not having stereotypes.
