This. What's the fricking point of making everything he draws look like absolute slop? There's "loose and energetic" and then there "I just shat on the page".
Guy is a legitimate head case. Don’t expect any of the random clutter he cobbles together to make sense or have any rationale.
Also, he’s an AI gay now.
It's not that unusual for an experienced artist to go into full on experimental or abstract mode after spending decades following the rules. It just doesn't happen as often with cartoonists because cartooning is already pretty abstract when compared to Loomis.
I can kind of see John K doing the same thing. He’s kind of pushed the looseness in his gestural drawing to the point that characters are all kinda gummy. It would be much more interesting if he’d had a storied career before this, but it comes across as hackey because so much of what he’s done since his breakout gig 30 years ago is lazy bullshit (despite all his self-aggrandizing).
ok but wain's mental illness affecting his art is kind of a myth constructed by his doctor since he still produced fairly normal stuff in between his "crazy" drawings. his doctor just took his weirder drawings and said they were more recent.
john k might actually be the real deal of his insanity breaking his art though.
You had to ask your eight-year old nephew to type this, didn't you? There's no way an idiot like you could know how to use a keyboard, much less use the Internet.
Yeah, Bam Bam was left on the Rubbles' doorstep, or something like that. Pebbles was a regular birth though. In fact, even though I Love Lucy was the first show in the United States to depict a pregnant woman, I think the Flintstones may have been the first show in the US to use the actual word "pregnant" on-air.
Bamm-Bamm is adopted. So he can technically be any race they want.
Although I would've thought that Wilma and Pebbles would be the black ones due to woke anagram reasons.
Although if it's a cartoon, why should it matter as long as the characters look and act more-or-less the same as before?
Yeah, it's surprising 'cause it's usually the gingers they make black in modern reboots. I can only assume it's Betty instead of Wilma/Pebbles because Elizabeth Banks is in charge and wants to be a part of the actual Flintstones family.
God his art sucks now
I never thought I'd see the day where I'm pining for APC-era John K, where it's a clear downgrade from his 90s art style but he still practiced what he preached.
Why does Fred have such a goofy expression? I don’t think he was meant to be stupid, or at least as stupid as Barney, yet he looks dumber. Why is he green anyway?
Because John K is legit crazy. And not in just a creative way. Like, certifiably insane. Go back and watch his Simpsons couch gag. It is the work of someone who has completely gone off the deep end.
Useless thread. Are you bored or something
Frick off, butthole
Every time he draws something, it looks more and more like he has schizophrenia.
I know that. It sucks to see that because John had alot of potential
This. What's the fricking point of making everything he draws look like absolute slop? There's "loose and energetic" and then there "I just shat on the page".
I really want to read what guy's massive cope about how his hero's schizo mental devolution is somehow an improvment.
Remember, guy’s more mentally ill than John. He’d probably think John hasn’t devolved far enough.

I saw the OP on the catalog and IMMEDIATELY thought of this

A lot of people legitimately refuse to accept that Picasso was mentally sane and willingly changed his artstyle
It's the Left Right side of the brain mentality

> It's the Left Right side of the brain mentality
Yeah, all that brain side shit has been debunked.
it’s a shame really
he used to draw such cute girls

>See it's schizo guys
>It's wain's illustrations on DMT
Is anon fricking stupid?
The FLintstones: Adult Party Cartoon
>Fred spends 15 minutes of a 22 minute episode chewing his Brontosaurus steak
>we're supposed to find this amusing
Chris Savino had similar humor
>Dad spends an segment lining up his golf swing
Yeah, I can see it.
What would it even be about?
Fred's Dad coming over and being George Liquor again.
Isn't weird that no one tried to make flinstones reboot that looks like cave paintings?
Because cave paintings are fake and gay. Why do you think they only started "finding them" in the 20th century?
>hyuk hyuk hyuk I dOnE gOt Me ThAt ThErE hOmE sKoOlIn'!
Buy a machine gun, aim it at your face and pull the trigger.
you ok fatty?
> “ Marcellino de Sautuola, at Altamira, Spain, discovered the first significant cave paintings in 1875”

EY REEEEEEBUT?! OF DA FLEEEEENTSTONES?! WOOOAAHHH NELLY!
You mean Velma 2.0?
>Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles are all White
>Barney is White, Betty is black, Bambam is Chinese
Huh?
Well Bam Bam was always adopted so that makes sense
Was he? I don't remember that. It has been quite a while, though
Yeah, Bam Bam was left on the Rubbles' doorstep, or something like that. Pebbles was a regular birth though.

why does the race of the voice actor matter?
Because these days Hollywood is so racist that it thinks the race of characters dictates the what races are allowed to voice them.
Casting a Stephen Root as Fred is a pretty solid choice.
Honestly, so is Barney.
Anyone else remember that one Flintstones reboot xitter page ran by Seth that lasted for like 3 days before going inactive?
God his art sucks now

I miss the pre heroin days
>heroin
First I heard of it. Got a source?
Get it? Because Dave is based off of Ross Bagdasarian and Armenians are hairy!
Ok so what's with the Cheerios on his tounge?
Wait Elizabeth Banks is show running a John K show and they're letting them do this to the Flintstones?
Too late, Elizabeth Banks is already beating him to it
I never liked anything John K made but holy shit is there something wrong with him now?
This feels like Picasso with his cubist bullshit but less intentional
Why does Fred have such a goofy expression? I don’t think he was meant to be stupid, or at least as stupid as Barney, yet he looks dumber. Why is he green anyway?

it's the same shit he did with the simpsons couch gag
weird colors=funny according to him
I remember back in the 90s and early 2000s he was so critical about coloring in cartoons of how much he hates the color pink and purple
*sees one picasso painting*
hide you daughters
No way any studio would hire him after the pedo allegations. He’s trolling.
He's using his art for fun
