12 oz. mouse


This is one funny cartoon, and absurd. It looks like retarted kindergarteners drew it, but that's part of its charm, and, shit knuckles, is it funny. Adult Swim just keeps bringing in the magic. The 12 oz. mouse world is surrounded by these crude line drawings that aren't even colored in; the characters include an epileptic squirrel, a shark, and a stoner rock cop (plus many more). The star of the show, Fritz, just wants to drive drunk and shoot at everything, including his boss and any other pedestrians in the way. The voice acting is perfect because it fits with the animation in its banality; Fitz's could give a shit voice and dialogue fits the character and aesthetic.

12 oz. mouse may be a strange and sneaky parody of the cartoon network's heavy use of Flash animation (with the exception of Robot Chicken), because the horrible animation works here, and our subconscious mind may be laughing at the cartoon networks help in destroying true animation. Even though they are Flash based, I love the line up (with the exception of Tom Goes to the Mayor). Hell, I wish I knew how to use Flash.

Good to see that you are up and running. If you are watching adult swim and violent animation, then you are back to your own self.
