>tfw cannot unthink the possibility Chuck Jones was like John K in his day now
Sometimes I wonder how these people would be like if they were on twitter now
Sounds like a good reason to assume Twitter is social poison. There is a cartoon strip by Penny Arcade when they were still funny. Twitter being used to just let everyone know when you're pooping. Diarrhea of the mouth.

Chuck Jones is overrated but most people who recognize this go too far in the opposite direction and overhate him instead
Memes aside, my local library is currently having a Chuck Jones display of some of his work and notes. Thought I share.
Also, sorry if these files are large. I forgot to decrease the resolution on my phone since I just got it recently
>His work desk on display
>Books he owned
He so desperately wanted to be Disney when he had no idea what made Disney work
>Some of his art work
you can read some of his letters online

Could someone give me a run down how Chuck may be like John K.
He wrote an essay on animation turning into "Illustrated Radio" decades before John K started his blog
He was right, Hanna-Barbera was fucking awful and only people with nostalgia glasses don't realize it.
Do we have an explanation as to why he drew all his young males with bedroom eyes by default?
It's ironic as fuck that John K lauds the old Hanna-Barbara stuff purely because of nostalgia even though they do absolutely everything that he vehemently hates
What do you mean by that
he was a man of taste
How many jones would a Chuck Jones chuck if a Chuck Jones could chuck jones
I don't get it. Do people not like Chuck Jones?
His art style is not very good. There, I said it.
diehard looney tunes fans seem to hate him
I mean, look at any of the young human males he drew. Phantom Tollbooth and Riki-Tiki-Tavi come to mind.
They're both constantly giving the viewer the fuck eye.
shitposting aside, while his Tom and Jerry shorts were pretty bad, I love most of his other stuff. his art style is great too.
Isn't there a quote from one of the other animators about how he would have been convinced from Jones' style that he was gay if he didn't personally know him to be straight?
Only Looney Tunes shorts I enjoyed of his are the ones where he's credited as "Charles. M Jones". They have elements of his iconic style (which, I'm not a big fan of either), but was essentially a more wackier, better timed Freleng.
His Tom & Jerrys were godawful.
The funny thing about the Tom & Jerry stuff is that he invented Road Runner & Coyote at least partially to parody what he thought was the stupid and over the top repetitiveness of Tom and Jerry. And then, decades later, he gets tapped to make new Tom & Jerry. How good would you expect them to be?
>How ironic, Chuck. You tried to rid the world of chase cartoons, and you gave it its best ones ever.
>His Tom & Jerrys were godawful.
Meh, they were just really boring. The dietch shorts, now THOSE were godawful.
Trips for truth.
Huh, I'm not a huge Looney Tunes fan but I've always liked what I've seen from Jones, I always thought his visual humor was excellent.
I don't think they were meant to be sexual. I think they're supposed to portray innocence.
All I knows is; is it a cartoon with kind of uncomfortable doe-eyes on a little boy/girl/mouse/doll? You got you a Chuck Jones cartoon, friend.
Don't forget the ever-so-slightly-pursed lips and soft cheeks.
Chuck Jones did some great stuff, but he got too full of himself and his work went to Hell.
What do you call the shorts that would be played with Loony Tunes, but wasn't Bugs or Daffy or anyone like that?
Is it Merrie Melodies, because I've been wanting to re-watch those House of Tomorrow toons for years, but with a name like that it's impossible to search for.
like the ones without any recuring characters that are just random nonsense like the singing frog?
>like the singing frog
He was a very cynical person who made a lot of enemies. He wouldn't survive in the social media age.
His version of toodles galore was a QT tho, unlike the human-like abomination of the original
What did he mean by this?
Chuck's T&J is far from the worst
Chuck Jones really ruined spontaneous cartoon humor, that's why fucking boomers love him. Every time you watch Roadrunner cartoons, your boomer dad explains the joke to you proud that he figured out the Jones formula and all you can do is sigh and wish you were watching cartoons he can't figure out to wipe that arrogant boomer smile off his face.
replied to the wrong post oh well.
Walter Kelly, creator of Pogo said exactly that after seeing Jones' Pogo special. Seeing that Kelly was a former animator and a personal friend of Walt Disney, he knew his stuff.
also long girly eyelashes, even/especially on males
Was a douche.
Funnily enough Michigan J. Frog is considered an official Looney Tunes character even though he didn't really interact with the rest of the cast (in fact, whenever they do the gag it's with someone else, usually a crossover character)

He doesn't like Space Jam, which is most of these cunt's first exposure to Looney Tunes.
Who?
