Too mean spirited to WB.

what's coming out of that girls head

Too weird/ahead of it’s time, couldn’t find an audience.
I think if they made a show instead where Creepy Susie is the main character/storyteller and she tells creepy and messed up stories it could’ve at least gotten 2 seasons.

a lot of the cheaper adult swim shows were more popular. got really sick of them replaying the same thirteen episodes.

Isn’t that what the original book was intended to be?
But instead WB wanted the Simpsons audience and made it another generic family sitcom, but Tim Burton like which already existed beforehand.

The WB, where it premiered, was a piece of shit channel that didn't know how to market adult cartoons and just left them to rot and die.

Mission Hill, Baby Blues and Oblongs were all originally brought to this channel and died a quick, painful death, not even getting to finish their respective runs before they were sent to Adult Swim. [AS] gave them new life and proved they could have a huge audience and a loyal fanbase, but [AS] didn't have the budget to produce new episodes for any of them and by the time they did, they were all tied up in legal hell or so old that bringing them back wouldn't make sense.

FUCK WB and I'm glad that network is fucking dead.

oh that's sad :c

i like how cheery she is but why is she sick

Actually they originally wanted it to be about Susie so much so she was Milo's sister but she got delegated to a side character and got a new family.

Creepy Susie, Beth, Pickles, Bob, the crossdressing friend of Pickles were more normal than everyone else.

So just wanted to bring up a cancelled episode Angus had planned for Creepy Susie before it got canned.
Some anons helped us find this a year ago during spooktober when we were looking for some past very rare out of print other language versions of the Creepy Susie books & the prototype booklets.

Of course, they're all pretty normal with the exception of some others. Funnily enough Angus wanted the show to be more harsh and bleak with no hope. He even wanted Helga and Susie to reflect more of their book personalities than their TV show one's (The ones that murdered Eric Twinklebutt and The Debbies.

Apparently Creepy Susie did have a swimsuit for the beach episode when everyone was wearing one but her but the animators never gave her it for some reason. Its shown on Ron Russo's Adult Swim Comedy textbook.

Hopefully so.

Unrelated but I found a funny art print Angus made of Susie in a pin-up bottommless and yet he even said she's of age now (I cant find the post or tweet but many on twitter were retweeting it). Funny how many complain she's sexualized despite being now older than most of those complaining doublefold and being drawn multiple times officially like this and that Angus doesn't really care (and liked such art before).

Funny you should bring that up. Back to this post here.In a long ago spooktober thread in 2020, me and a friend set out to find the lost books of the series but we've yet to find the owner or the ebay listings for it to win. We found em but timezones fucked us. Heres what we were able to save from the listing.

No clue, other than his Insta & Twitter, he's quite reserved and quiet, even when we met him at a con in person he's quite down to earth and reserved, likes his privacy but pretty cool guy to share a beer with.

Back to the books we were hunting for and the owners /buyer. This shows the CONCEPT designs for some characters in them before finalized. Why we were so mad we missed out chance as Oblongs media is rare as is let alone something like this.

Just look at how different Creepy Susie used to look. A lot more skinny, bony, and emaciated.

I’m surprised they never put an autistic representation in the show.

Heres some of the other rarer books that were discontinued but the rarest being the korean books aside from the prototype booklets & that expensive ass 2001 promo T-shirt.

I'm shocked they didn't put a lot more in the show either honestly. So much more deformities and rare mutations they could have shown off.

Here's the Spanish version.

lol, you should see his real life yard sales, shits crazy how much crap he has lying around. Grabbed some nice stuff from it thought relating to the show & prints.

If anyone knows who could have these or where I'd love to know so I can archive or document those character / version differences.

Based, he loves big titty goths

Was too weird for the audience of the wb who generally preferred teen drama shows plus the wb already previously canceled two animated shows baby blues and mission hill for low ratings

Heard it here first folks. Creepy Susie likes squashing & stabbing.

I always found it fucking strange how Warner Bros of all networks picked them up but not Adult Swim at first. Like its an Adult Show with horrific undertones, Angus even wanted a more bleak, death filled, misery motif but the execs screwed him and mostly took control and made it a somewhat mundane family comedy with dark humor striping most of what made the characters fun. Just wish we coulda had a few episodes more or another season.

If you've seen his other comments or his likes on Instagram, he's quite "based" indeed. Cannibalism, feet, expansion, inflation, vore, gore, gay art, incest are very common for some reason with some of his characters, especially Susie for some reason (I still blame that "Skeleton in her closet before making soup line"). I'm sure its all in good jest and for the love of the show and its kooky characters.

too tryhard, that type of thing was popular with genx but not really anyone younger

The real question is that would Angus Oblong make a good party clown? Is party clown even a job these days anymore?

Attached: EwZe_WfVcAoseLn.jpg (2657x4096, 977.95K)

Really? Not even these days where its all doom and gloom and people cant bother to get out of bed or go to their jobs if their jobs aren't from home? You'd think now would be a more better time than ever with how hopeless everyone around me personally in my local area feels.

Although The Oblongs was definitely ahead of its time, I don't think it can come back without some major retooling, shifting of characters or walking on eggshells around others (mainly Anita Bidet & George Klimer). The social climate would be ripe for this shows picking but they'd have to tread carefully not to get cancelled knowing how Twitter does shoes dirty if they get upset.

Have a cute Peanuts Susie.

Finally dug up that old twitter post mentioning him looking for a network (This was years ago mind you). Seems he's having trouble finding one that'll take his show.

Attached: 1603773444545.png (1365x733, 144.15K)

He should pitch to HBO Max or Netflix.

He has been trying to bring back the Oblongs even longer than that.

Will Ferrell started to get too expensive for television especially when he’s the main character of a show.
Would be a lot harder to get him back unless they replace Bob.

Just found this absolute infamous gem when Angus did fanart review on his website long ago ha. Guess that's where all the trap Susie jokes came from when that "not fit to drink your own piss" line came around.

Attached: 1468889366321.jpg (674x366, 43.27K)

That's probably one of the biggest hurdles here aside from most of the VA's being too expensive, moved on from VA work or couch other VA's now.
The rest of the characters could be re-casted easily but Bob wouldn't be the same without Will unless they get a sound-a-like.

Side note: Really like Angus's art prints of other franchise characters. I especially liked his Kill Bill print series.

There was a show like this on MTV as I recall that got cancelled shortly after it aired. Guess, this idea isn't popular outside of comics.

Because it wasn't good, plain and simple. There were other cartoons on air at the time that covered the whole "dysfunctional/freak family dunking on society" thing - simpsons, south park readily come to mind - and they did it better than the Oblongs did. What was the Oblongs bringing to the table? Comedy? Biting social commentary? Interesting ideas? Interesting stories? Good animation?

The answer is nothing. They brought nothing. So it got shitcanned. The end.

Was there an episode where Milo steals a buffet? or was that a dream?

I personally have to disagree. There was a Canadian show where a few campers sat around a campfire and told scary stories similar to goosebumps. Only got one season. Another thing is Creepy Susie can't work on her own honestly, she's a one off one note character that plays off the same archetype over and over and it'd get old fast. I'd be afraid they'd take what makes Creepy Susie special and make her "not your average goth girl, said every average goth girl ever". Same almost happened to Ruby Gloom and DID happen to Creepella Creecher from Growing Up Creepie. I think she's better off as a side character.

Also, dad found the porn model kek.

Isn't that NuclearMime's Plush he got from 5eyes back when they did plush commissions?

Really wishing the characters had plushes. I'd kill if Angus did a plush line even once limited for his characters. A Beth, Milo, Susie, and Scottie plush would have my money in a heartbeat especially if they were official.
Apparently this was made by the same person who made the ENA official plush so there's hope maybe.

Not that I remember, just him and his family at a fancy restaurant after accidentally finding the Bledsoe bribe money meant for the Mayor from George.

No idea, wouldn't be surprised given the type of fanarts I've seen just from looking up her name inb4 Blobby Susie.

Wish more people made her actually creepy instead of y'know the same bog-standard sexyfication, off-model, or at least make it interesting. It's just tiring at this point same shit different artist.

No, they never stole a buffet in any episode. They just went to a mall and failed to get a doll or any shopping done because Pickles smokes too fucking much.

>The Oblongs
Okay, I know you're all sick of me talking about The Oblongs but here's 3 reasons why I hate that show:

1) The bullies are never punished

I'm sorry but writing a show about bullies being "Karma Houdinis" is a very bad idea! I hated that crap even in good shows like Hey Arnold where bullies could do whatever the fuck they can and not get punished for it. Hell even Doreamon does this with Big G. but to be fair, at least Big G. can be nice sometimes. The two bullies in the show (Jared and Blaine, I think) should've been punished in some way. Maybe Milo's brothers could've beat them up or something but no, nothing bad ever happens to these assholes. I guess 13 episodes was too much!

2) It shows that rich people can get away with anything because they're rich!

Like I said about the bullies. What gives rich people the right to get away with being bad? I shows that there is no hope in society if you are poor. I'm sorry but I think Angus Oblong is an atheist and doesn't believe in God. There was even a South Park episode where Cartman get $1,000,000 from his dead grandma and opens up a theme park only to keep it to himself, this upsets Kyle and he ends up with a hemorrhoid that nearly kills him and he loses his faith with God. But at least all end well when Cartman loses his amusement park and his $1,000,000 causing Kyle to restore his faith in God. Too bad this shitty show doesn't do any of this? I mean come on! That is fucking cheap and mean spirited!
