032 Bon Voyage

This is another strip written by Chris Staples. Around the end of the first season, he stormed into my office and shouted "I got it! The mouse says 'Bon voyage' and then the Cat gets recruited into the British Navy!" I didn't ask any questions, I'm still not sure why it was the British Navy. I suppose there is something charming about the British Navy, or maybe Chris finds them comedic. One thing's for sure, their flag is easier to animate than the U.S. one. I kinda wish he pitched it as the Japanese Navy, their flag would have been really easy to make!
When I was referencing the old British Navy photos on the internets, I noticed that a lot of the sailors looked just like Popeye. I would post the pictures but I can't seem to find the exact ones I referenced.
Bauza seemed to have a good time recording this one, 100% of his lines are improv.
The second season only has two more strips, are you excited!?!

Ha, yeah I was wondering why it was the British Navy?
These last few have been really good. Can't wait to see more.
I'm working on a flash project right now, I'll let you know when I put it up.

For being a professional Cartoon Network big shot, these shorts you make are really amateur and dumb. Maybe you should spend more than a week on these and make them funny for once.

What the fuck? It's bad enough that you swiped Tom and Jerry's color scheme, John K's timing and Fleischer's sensibilities and still came up with a shitty cartoon!!!

Lessee - when you worked with John K. you did Pussy Cow! Which looks like a retarded John K show. Now you work for Craig McCracken you do this giant turd. Which looks like a retarded version of Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends.
What's next, maybe if you work on Pokemon you'd do some retarded looking anime piece of crap. Get a style!!!!

Ha ha ha ha! These trolls are hilarious! They can't be real, can they?

And while I didn't really get this strip, I do enjoy the series as a whole, and you can mine the concept for decades.
