Today I just wanted to share a quick project for you. This is an animated pilot called Lackadaisy, an animated pilot that takes place during prohibition era St. Louis, starring quite the cast of characters. One glimpse of this and you'll be able to see: Animation isn't dead.
Somewhere between Don Bluth and the Disney Afternoon, Lackadaisy aims a bit heavier than how artificial the medium has become, but still manages to try for an All Ages approach. Thing is, All Ages used to mean a different thing before the ACT got involved and splintered what the industry was even able to be.
It's only a half hour of your time, and down completely independent, so be sure to give it a shot. At this point, it should be obvious to anyone that the mainstream has no interest in anything aside from the same degrading formula they have stuck to for decades now. Anything outside of that would seem like a breath of fresh air, even more when it's quality like this.
As we've been saying in the PulpRev for years, any change that is going to happen will come from outside the system. We have to explore new frontiers.
It is the only way forward.
That's all for this time. April is finally here, and warmer weather is just around the bend. Have a good weekend and I will see you next time!
If you've read Swords & Maidens, or any of my other works, please leave some reviews! They definitely help new readers make decisions.
Lackadaisy is an AMAZING webcomic, I mean an absolute masterpiece. This has been a long time coming.
