Happy Halloween and suchlike, yes of course! The cartoon is Halloween-themed, sorta! Kinda. It’s got a classic monster in it? Which is actually a coincidence. In fact, this cartoon finally reveals a secret I have kept since the very earliest days of Vincent Macropod! Go read the thing, and find out what I’m talking about below, afterwards.
The cartoon is dedicated to the man called Ace!
- So okay. Since the beginning, my excellent good friend Ace has been represented in the Macropodverse by a guy in a bowler hat called Hank. (The bowler hat is not called Hank.) And “Hank,” we finally learn, is short for “Henry,” which is short for “Henry Jekyll.” His first appearance was actually going to play on this, way back when, but then it didn’t. I never did draw that cartoon, mainly because it had a lot of cars in it, and I hate drawing cars. Might get to it someday, though. Anyway, both Hank and Eddie, here, are based on the artwork of Kevin O’Neill from “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” Yaaay!
- Oh, and let me say, Ace isn’t short-tempered, in fact; rather, he’s just sorta intimidating when he does lose it.
- This is based on a true story, of course. The main deviations are physical transformation and remorse. Plus I don’t actually know if anyone else also thought “Ace can handle this one.” And there were more people at the table.
- That’s not a crow, by the way; it is a Tengu, a Japanese crow-goblin of sorts. It debuts as the Macropod version of Craig, of Chopsocky fame.
- None of us had considered joining the Moonies, no.
