See all Show me
When people ask “What are your cartoon influences?”, it usually stumps me… because there’s just too many. So I put this music video together to list off as many influences as I could think of.

Oh yeah, it’s all roughly in chronological order of when I first saw them! How many do you recognize?

Soundtrack is "Ca Plane Pour Moi" by Plastic Bertrand

Seuss, the dirtiest dog, are you my mother?, the electric company, mighty mouse, pink panther, space ghost, archy, gumby, voltron, mad magazine, dick tracy, monty python, and the cover of the chronicles of narnia books are some pretty good influences!
