I...don't actually have an OP for this thread, embarrassingly. So have a pretty picture instead. This is Craig McCracken's first drawing of the Whoopass Girls:

    And apparently you can't stream it anywhere because TBS are bitches. :P Oh well, the season sets are cheap.

    It's a bit weird knowing I was 7 when the show first came out, A lot in animation has changed since then - cartoons from the 90s like PPG were farmed out to Chinese/Korean animators, since Flash wasn't around to make American animation viable again.

    It's interesting, because 1998 doesn't seem like all that long ago, but when you compare its animation to today's animation there really is a huge difference.

    I don't doubt that if PPG came out today, it would be Flash-animated.

    I understand some of the last seasons of PPG were indeed Flash.

    I'm wondering...does that late-'90s thick-line style work better in traditional animation or in Flash?

    You're going to be reincarnated as a pony, I guarantee it.

    READ MY CROSS SHIPPING-FANFICTION, DAMMIT!

    i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
    Anyone read Bleedman's stuff?

    I still find it entertaining, though Grim Tales has probably gotten a little too convoluted and incestuous for it's own good.

    MLP hate I understand since the franchise is quite stereotypically "girly" and very commercial, but what's wrong with The Powerpuff Girls?

    PPG never struck me as all that "girly". Or rather, it seemed that all of PPG's "girliness" was part of the joke.

    Unrelatedly: Princess is hilarious.

    Why am I still watching this show?

    Also, the ending to "Him Diddle Riddle" is hilarious, even if it does kinda cheapen everything that happened up to that point.

    Him creeped me out as a child. I think he still does, a little bit.

      Him is fucking terrifying.

      Whores! we want "poems that kill."
      Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
      guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
      and take their weapons leaving them dead
      I remember, upon hearing about Bleedman, that I thought that he had the best pseudonym ever. Of all time.

      Never got around to his fancomic about Grim's son.

      "Never got around to his fancomic about Grim's son."


      It's strange, but entertaining I suppose...if you're not too weirded out by incest...

      Although apparently I already posted that months ago...

      The one that's mostly a PP/Dexter's Lab focus dosen't have nearly the amount of hang-ups of Grim Tales, however.

      I'm watching this show again

      I wish it were still running, because I wonder what this show's fandom was like

      What their favorite in-jokes were, what their dumbest gripes were, what the most popular fanon was...

      I'm not thrilled with that art style, but I have to give it a shot anyway because I love me some PPG...

      ^^ Uh...not thrilled with the art style either. Before everything was stylized to the point where you didn't rally care how bizarre the proportions where because of how cartony everything was, but this is making it stick out like a sore thumb.

      It looks like it's supposed to evoke paper cutout animation but it looks just a bit too "computery" for the effect to work for me...

      ^ Same here. The aspect of making the characters look 3D is probably much to their detriment unless they where going to change designs slightly on the PPG themselves.

      When they're flying they pretty much just look like giant heads with bodies just dangling beneath them, and it's very strange.

      Looks cool to me. It even has both art styles!

      The art style is what a fan artist on Tumblr would come up with. It's just a bit too subdued for 3 asskicking superpowered little girls, and especially for the villains.

      At least you can choose the old style in the game.

      The bit about Cartoon Network making them delay the game until the "classic" sprites were included makes me suspect that some people at CN aren't exactly fond of the new style, either...

      I'm bored, so here's at least two '60s cartoon references no one caught:

      Bubbles's rhyming catchphrase attempts in "Super Zeroes" reference Underdog, and in "Candy is Dandy," the Powerpuffs react to their first taste of candy in a manner similar to Snuffles and his dog biscuits in Quick Draw McGraw.

      it's always good when they pour one out for classic H-B (though this was in an era before it got buried), but this was a missed opportunity to include Mr. Jinks

      Like I said. Him scared the fucking shit out of me when I was a kid.

      It's sad that he was the closest thing mainstream television had to LGBT rep in the 2000s
