There wouldn't be any gay "furry degenerates" if right-wingers like you didn't only make racist podcasts and reaction/rant vids about everything. All you guys do is complain and ban stuff while providing no alternative.
I make my own work which relates to Lackadaisy and many other things.
get out of the thread and stop giving him more dumb shit to say for the love of god
I'm not one of your Zoomers who need permission to speak and that pedophilic remark is going in an email
I swear guy has got to be an industry shill, or industry shills use him name to insult things they love in dumb ways like this, to make actual critique of said media look bad
It reminds me of when the fem-Ghostbusters reboot intentionally made sock puppet accounts to respond to their trailer with dumbshit like "THIS SUX CAUSE WOMEN DUMB LOLOLOLOL MAKE ME A SAMMICH BIATCH!!" and deleted all the actual criticism o their work to make dissenters look bad
Shut up animation student, I'm trying to enjoy lackadaisy without gay furries/careerists babbling.
just ignore him
I just talked with crew cuz you said that. (I didn't read you say it but all of your responses are pre-programmed into your psychology and so I flowed with your upcoming comments.)

Do you actually get a response for the schizoid emails you send?
in time. It seems like Tracy only stopped working on the comic in 2020 when they started production on the pilot. Since then it seems like she's been pretty busy with crowdfunding and season 1 work, but she's mentioned she will be getting back into the comic once things are stabilized. As far as I know, I don't think she's actually running the show, just kind of overseeing things so she's probably pretty busy now, but I'd imagine once things are fully in motion, she'll have a smaller role to play.
In any event, the comic is like her life's work. I don't see her giving up on that.
I think if he had a wife, he’d be the kind of old fashioned asexual who would have sex on a monthly basis, as a formality and for the purpose of procreation. Though you’re probably male.
For a show about anthro cats, this is furry repellent. >No bright colorful furries for gen alpha furries >Cats are basically regular cats standing on their hind legs, so completely nonsexual to gooner furries >Period piece, problematic to Twitter users and boring to gen alpha kids >No gay or trans characters, because of the time period again
not really furry repellent, just not explicitly catered to mainstream furries. i'm not upset if it doesn't catch on with a wider audience, it has its own niche and it shouldn't try to make itself into something else for the sake of viewz

so is zib
i think, though, that it's pretty tastefully depicted. tracy elaborated on serafine's fashion choices and their historically queer implications in a tumblr post once, i'll see if i can find it.
i like that they're characters first and it doesn't feel like they exist to fill a quota. it's natural
I think that they wouldn't even have official sexualities if the show wasn't made by the people it is being made by. Tracy doesn't seem like a person that bothers with that kind of shit.
>Tracy doesn't seem like a person that bothers with that kind of shit.
She absolutely is and has tacitly given hints about Serafine's sexuality long before it was even obvious in the comic much less by the time the animation came around.

she and that chick next to her on the couch in the hotel room were definitely fricking
They exist as characters first because you're co-opting characters from a much better artist than any queer artists.
>"Furry prohibition era cat short? No thank you" >"Ah yes, my favorite Israel supporting cartoon! Hazbin Hotel! Maybe today someone will return my email with a thank you for your service to the Hazbin Hotel community!"
Do you actually get a response for the schizoid emails you send?
I don't give a shit about getting responses from parasites. Fable is a Homestuck fan which exploited my life and so is creating a hostile environment for me. None of them can say anything to me.
I think a part of why it feels so natural is that it’s true to the setting. That sorta thing was actually kinda hip at the time, and treated in a much more casual way. The lavender scare hadn’t really kicked in.
not necessarily that it was hip, but that practically every night life scene was illegal thus they had to coexist. you couldn't be calling the cops on a crossdresser if you were also at the club guzzling booze and gambling. when alcohol was legalized again, and these spaces became public, the still-underground queer clubs were once again divorced from mainstream night life.
Where is the confirmation for this?
Shit is so cryptic in Lackadaisy.
>But it's not like Vivzieshit stuff or even TADC which broke like what, 200 million views?
I think it's kind of sad that we live in an age where if you can't break 200 million views it means your project is seen as at risk of failing. 12 million is great.
I agree, but unfortunately, alpha gen and zoomers may just roll their eyes at this show. I know it has far more artistic merit than say Vivzieshit but I'm just worried shitty views may destroy the project.
But maybe not, guess we'll see where it goes. It certainly deserves more love and attention but Tracey and her team may have to adjust the animated series to fit a slightly broader audience. Give shipping bait or more of an edge or just make the humor more snappy.
Making dry commentary about the 1920s probably isn't gonna cut it for the Youtube crowd.

personally, i admire the technicality of it, but the story didn't quite catch my attention
It's less than 2 minutes of new material and it doesn't tell anyone familiar with Lackadaisy anything new
it's just kind of mid even if the art is good
You can see vast improvement in nearly all aspects of production. While the actual story in this one was just a one-off gag that’s kind of forgettable, I think it’s obvious what they’re doing. It seems like they’re testing workflows and otherwise tightening bolts while ramping up to the main production. The added benefit is having more releases to keep interest up instead of putting out nothing for the whole year. This is a model that other indie productions could probably benefit from.
In other words, the story doesn’t seem to really be the point here. It seems like upping the ante on the overall production quality and making the process more efficient is the focus for now.
It stuck just fine, we're back to the pre-animation status quo. >someone makes a lackadaisy thread >people discuss whatever just happened and complain about the update frequency >thread dies >repeat a few weeks/months later
The only real difference is that now there's a lot more people pitching in.
Cinemaphile thrives on rage-bait and cooming. There’s not a whole lot that anons can get indignant about in this show, and also not a whole lot of waifu bait. It just well-made animation so Cinemaphile has nothing to talk about.
This fricking comic will never reach its conclusion, will it?
Barely gave us 2.5 volumes in whopping 14 years (2006-2020) and then she abandoned it to effectively reboot it as an animated series.
A wrap-up within 20 years?
If you have an idea for a serialised story, you gotta release at least 1 volume a year. That's the bare minimum. If the overly detailed art style is preventing you from "churning out" a single page in 3.65 days, well, you gotta simplify it, sweetie.
Bone author did 1350 pages over the course of 13 years. So, on average, 108 pages a year.
When she started with her webcomic there weren't good ways to monetize them. People made money from ads and selling merchandise back then (which was so much hassle it took time away from producing their comics) so Tracy updated at her own pace, for fun, not to support herself. Unlike manga in Japan there isn't a good market to serialize comics in the West which would naturally entail a certain commitment to producing a certain amount of work within a given timeframe. At this point Tracy has her Patreon and her fans are OK with her output.
Tracy's art style is also definitely part of the problem. It's very detailed and she does everything herself. If she had assistants she'd be faster but I don't think she'd want to give up control for the comic and I don't know if the art would be as good. Honestly I think the best chance we would have had to see the story finish out with Tracy's artwork was if she had repackaged the story as a series of Visual Novels. She could reuse elements more easily that way. Alternately perhaps its life could have started as a web novel with embedded illustrations.
For awhile yeah. Then she kind of left it be, barely updating due to having a game-dev job. Then she quit that after a few years. Launched a Patreon at the behest of her fans which was INSANELY profitable - she did a little splooge of updates for 1-2 years then stopped to do the animation-kickstarter out of nowhere.
Now it's been years and she still hasn't updated the comic, even though someone else is heading the animation production.. supposedly.
> even though someone else is heading the animation production.. supposedly.
She’s talked about it in interviews. I think someone with animation experience is actually running production, but Tracy still oversees things like general artistic direction.
I don't think bone is a good example of work ethic. If you want an awe inspiring work ethic, Minna Sundbergs work is insane. ARTD and SSSS are filled with nothing but heaters; and she'd post them every day.
Nah, i genuinely wanted to support the backerkit and I am used to paying too much for plushes already. Put down 300 and just waiting for the books now.
No one talks about or cares about the slave labor in the making of these plushies. I never buy merch from any creator, all likely made in China with profits going there, made with slaves.
Mostly the rain getting on the piece of paper. I took it out of the bag. >floormat of a car to get dirty
It's actually my Tesla Frunk. A joke about the crew joking about teslas.
They’re really smart with the production schedule. Since the fundraiser, they’ve put out like 3(?) short things already. Considering how long animation takes (especially at this level) they must be absolutely cranking. Anyone have any idea when the next proper episode is coming out?
Is the webcomic dead? Is Mordecai still digging for answers from the guy he tortured while avoiding the voodoo duo? Will the animations be based on it or create a separate story?
the upcoming season one will be based on volume one
i've heard down the grapevine that comic stuff is still a priority, but the animation needs all hands on deck. tracy's mentioned in streams that she's eager to get back to it when she has the time.
of course this is vague and indeterminate, but i'm honestly thinking the animated series is going to be worth it.
if season one does well enough, and the team starts to dig their heels in and get the feel of it all, she can have time away from direction to continue her comic.
Volume 1? Where does Volume 1 end? I only read the webcomic through their website and things are not really labelled. Isn't pacing going to be an issue?
i love this comic and Im excited for the pilot but also lowkey worried about how it will be recieved.
Tracey has a certain esoteric sense of humor, it can be really high brow for normie audiences and kids.
Seeing that humor go from comic to animation isn't as punchy.
Not sure if it's pacing or what.
Her strongest suit is her art and the writing can be decent; but Tracey maybe plays it too safe. She's the opposite of Vivzie, never letting anything *too* dramatic happen to her characters, never pushing the boundaries of violence, sex appeal or really intriguing hooks. It's just kind of paint by numbers.
The bonus comics are interesting and funny, but that's carried heavily by her expressive art. But in this animation style due to Tracey's autism-levels of details is heavily dumbed down and it just doesn't have the same charm? I dunno.. I wish she'd take chances. Make it a darker noir kind of thing. One of my favorite plotlines was Mitzi x Zib x Wick and the weird dynamic there. Easily Tracey couldhave Mitzi fricking and conning them both,acting as the dubious (probably big bad) of the comic.But, it's only hinted at.
Rocky COULD be more unhinged and do more violent shit, but it's mostly cartoony. Even Mordecai doesn't really get to do as much dark stuff as an assassin maybe should?
I know the pilot came out, it got like 12 million which isn't bad. I know the backerkit made 2 million.
But it's not like Vivzieshit stuff or even TADC which broke like what, 200 million views?
>But it's not like Vivzieshit stuff or even TADC which broke like what, 200 million views?

It’s not. Anon is a 16 year old tard.
TADC is an anomaly. Most people would be able to recognize that their views are impressive because those sorts of numbers are rare. Taking a crazy outlier like that and using it as a standard is something a child would do.
I thought Lackadaisy was like the second highest crowdfunded indie animation in history behind some ridiculous dungeons and dragons thing or something, weren’t they?
In any case, they’ve funded their project. What are they in risk of?

Nothing, they are fully covered and then some. They have nothing to lose unless they somehow go over budget, but I doubt that will happen, everything they have done money wise has been quite responsible.
I'm hoping in animated form perhaps they will start doing more interesting things with the story. Make it actually an intriguing story, it's semi a murder mystery, but that hasn't come up in ages. Even as a gangster-centric story the characters almost are too nice, and bland.. I dunno - they need that punch. Only Freckle seems to act like a real gangster amidst them all.. outside of the Savoys,Victor, and Mordecai.
Rocky is just a liability and Ivy is there to be.. a cheerleader?
Feels like we've been waiting for ages and nothing of significance happened, outside of Mordecai switching sides.
Anyways, I guess we'll wait and see. I think it may unfortunately be a case of Tracey getting behind the wheel, playing it safe and niche as always then slowly losing steam because it's not grabbing an audience.
What you mean when he got the blade to the forehead? I guess that was a bit dramatic, it was a look into his psyche outside of chaos-gremlin.
But nothing really stuck from that, he just went on being the same Rocky after whining a bit and some recovery. Maybe we're meant to notice he's a bit more unhinged or weird..?
I want to see Freckle become more ruthless and Rocky descend into insanity.
Yeah I mean they show glimpses of Freckle being unhinged and more boiling beneath the surface. But nobody really talks about it, nothing ever seems to move from it.
It's honestly frustrating, because we only see tiny glimpses of possible character arcs and then.. nothing.
It seemed like maybe Mordecai was going on this detective esque role, maybe having some morals when interviewing that guy. That maybe he really wants to find out who killed Atlas..? Though other pages make it seem like he did.
Then Tracey just stops updating the fricking thing.
His behavior does change after the head injury. Rocky became so manic that he wasn’t even flinching when Fish was firing bullets at him, instead he walked towards him.
>Maybe we're meant to notice he's a bit more unhinged or weird..?
When Rocky almost dies against the pig farmers and Freckles narrowly saves him in his manic fit, Rocky is curling into a fetal position and begging to be spared.
After the head injury, he's literally walking towards a guy that's actively shooting him, grinning wide. He IS more unhinged.
my only complai with this indie cartoon is how the characters seems to be trying to act way too forced like, theres this bizarre formality i dont know.
adn when is not this its your tipical LOL SO RANDOM like that orange cat from the previous 20 minutes episode
The shorts were promised anyway as part of a crowd fund backer tier. They are obligated to make the shorts, it’s not a frivolous side project they are doing for no reason.

Mordecai is my favorite.
He really is the best, kinda disappointed they're making the animation instead of giving us more Mordecai in the comic.

says she did background work on this little short
that explains why those backgrounds are so amazing. Jesus. I know it takes her awhile to do things, but Tracy's art is fricking insane.
He's cool.
I like that her human Viktor has been gradually turning into Kurt Russell.

Yeah but the attractive kind. Too bad he’s asexual, we wouldn’t be compatible.
I think if he had a wife, he’d be the kind of old fashioned asexual who would have sex on a monthly basis, as a formality and for the purpose of procreation. Though you’re probably male.

Sounds like it would be a tune from the 1920s
>Though you’re probably male.
Correct.
Then you’re right, you’re not compatible. Mordecai is for cis female israeliteess only.
mordecai is for a lifelong platonic partnership

That’s not gay or trans baka
Serafine is what we may today identify as “gender nonconforming,” but in her own time period may have been described as “sapphic” or possibly “queer.”
They're funny animal characters being co-opted by furries for their mindrot culture.
>No gay or trans characters, because of the time period again
Alright, I'm in
>no gay or
HUHHH????? Did you even read the comic or watch the pilot? These 2 are gay and bisexual but are in denial about it.
I think Wick might be straight.
And Zib is certainly not in any denial about his bisexuality- I am sure he has fricked a man at some point. He might even remember it.
he's fricked sy, the trumpet player in the band
Who was the top?
sy obviously
captcha is the sound zib made btw
JJ!
wrong. jj plays the trombone. fifteen years in the swamp for you. go

But I don't want to go there.

man most people don't even expect an EP from musicians with that close an output schedule.
Musicians don't do overarching storylines over the course of a decade.
>A wrap-up within 20 years?
Why? What about webcomics gave you good reason to expect this?
Are you really comparing the art of Bone to the insanely intricately detailed drawings in Lackadaisy?

A bit meh, IMHO.
Don't they have figurines or something?
I got mine too. I feel obligated to get Freckle, now, but I think I'll wait for Zib's instead.
NEED ZIB SO BAD
Thank god they've been whoring him out

Were you also as drunk as me when you bought it.
Nah, i genuinely wanted to support the backerkit and I am used to paying too much for plushes already. Put down 300 and just waiting for the books now.
Props for actually dusting your shelves
I'm also waiting for a book.
These are pretty cool.
No one talks about or cares about the slave labor in the making of these plushies. I never buy merch from any creator, all likely made in China with profits going there, made with slaves.
How long until someone films themselves fricking one of those Ivy plushies?
Hopefully never
DON’T SAY IT
Why would you let it get wet and put it on the floornat of a car to get dirty/ moronic?
Mostly the rain getting on the piece of paper. I took it out of the bag.
>floormat of a car to get dirty
It's actually my Tesla Frunk. A joke about the crew joking about teslas.
hhhwhat's a frunk?
Trunk in the front.
Frunk.
>Trunk in the front
sounds like a less offensive term for a FUPA
I fricking love Lackadaisy. And Tracy.
Me too!

When Life Keeps Happening
so the shitty sketch lines are here to stay ?
legitimately did not notice them in this short. if they were there they were not intrusive
unfortunate that it's not your cup of tea though
I noticed the sketch lines but I liked them.
They did tone them down a lot. The pilot had those lines moving in every frame
Anyone got their plushies? Mines arrived a month ago.
Is the comic updating again?
No...
Then my rage at Tracy is rising by a little more.
They’re really smart with the production schedule. Since the fundraiser, they’ve put out like 3(?) short things already. Considering how long animation takes (especially at this level) they must be absolutely cranking. Anyone have any idea when the next proper episode is coming out?
soon enough. the production flow has improved a lot
I’m already impressed. They’re delivering more and faster than a lot of other crowdfunded animations.
more seasoned animators doing fulltime work = good quality, consistent animation at more reliable output rates
it's like watching a dream come true. you can see the improvement in quality already.
Is the webcomic dead? Is Mordecai still digging for answers from the guy he tortured while avoiding the voodoo duo? Will the animations be based on it or create a separate story?
It hasn't been updated since 2020.
Coincidentally, that’s when work on the pilot began.
the upcoming season one will be based on volume one
i've heard down the grapevine that comic stuff is still a priority, but the animation needs all hands on deck. tracy's mentioned in streams that she's eager to get back to it when she has the time.
of course this is vague and indeterminate, but i'm honestly thinking the animated series is going to be worth it.
if season one does well enough, and the team starts to dig their heels in and get the feel of it all, she can have time away from direction to continue her comic.
Volume 1? Where does Volume 1 end? I only read the webcomic through their website and things are not really labelled. Isn't pacing going to be an issue?
Volume one ends after Freckle kills the pig farmers.
So about half the webcomic. That arc closes around the 60-ish page.
>I only read the webcomic through their website and things are not really labelled.
They are absolutely labeled.
I just clicked on the Comic link. I thought Archive was for some old forum or something.
Do you think Vivzie still talks shit about the Lackadaisy crew or is she blissed out now that her show is finally out?
Husk kind of looks like a Lackadaisy OC.
i love this comic and Im excited for the pilot but also lowkey worried about how it will be recieved.
Tracey has a certain esoteric sense of humor, it can be really high brow for normie audiences and kids.
Seeing that humor go from comic to animation isn't as punchy.
Not sure if it's pacing or what.
Her strongest suit is her art and the writing can be decent; but Tracey maybe plays it too safe. She's the opposite of Vivzie, never letting anything *too* dramatic happen to her characters, never pushing the boundaries of violence, sex appeal or really intriguing hooks. It's just kind of paint by numbers.
The bonus comics are interesting and funny, but that's carried heavily by her expressive art. But in this animation style due to Tracey's autism-levels of details is heavily dumbed down and it just doesn't have the same charm? I dunno.. I wish she'd take chances. Make it a darker noir kind of thing. One of my favorite plotlines was Mitzi x Zib x Wick and the weird dynamic there. Easily Tracey couldhave Mitzi fricking and conning them both,acting as the dubious (probably big bad) of the comic.But, it's only hinted at.
Rocky COULD be more unhinged and do more violent shit, but it's mostly cartoony. Even Mordecai doesn't really get to do as much dark stuff as an assassin maybe should?
> Im excited for the pilot but also lowkey worried about how it will be recieved.
Who wants to tell him…
I know the pilot came out, it got like 12 million which isn't bad. I know the backerkit made 2 million.
But it's not like Vivzieshit stuff or even TADC which broke like what, 200 million views?
>But it's not like Vivzieshit stuff or even TADC which broke like what, 200 million views?
I think it's kind of sad that we live in an age where if you can't break 200 million views it means your project is seen as at risk of failing. 12 million is great.
It’s not. Anon is a 16 year old tard.
TADC is an anomaly. Most people would be able to recognize that their views are impressive because those sorts of numbers are rare. Taking a crazy outlier like that and using it as a standard is something a child would do.
This.
Are we gonna start holding things to the standard of how many views Skibidi toilet racks up? I don’t think so…
I thought Lackadaisy was like the second highest crowdfunded indie animation in history behind some ridiculous dungeons and dragons thing or something, weren’t they?
In any case, they’ve funded their project. What are they in risk of?
Nothing, they are fully covered and then some. They have nothing to lose unless they somehow go over budget, but I doubt that will happen, everything they have done money wise has been quite responsible.
I'm hoping in animated form perhaps they will start doing more interesting things with the story. Make it actually an intriguing story, it's semi a murder mystery, but that hasn't come up in ages. Even as a gangster-centric story the characters almost are too nice, and bland.. I dunno - they need that punch. Only Freckle seems to act like a real gangster amidst them all.. outside of the Savoys,Victor, and Mordecai.
Rocky is just a liability and Ivy is there to be.. a cheerleader?
Feels like we've been waiting for ages and nothing of significance happened, outside of Mordecai switching sides.
Anyways, I guess we'll wait and see. I think it may unfortunately be a case of Tracey getting behind the wheel, playing it safe and niche as always then slowly losing steam because it's not grabbing an audience.
>never letting anything *too* dramatic happen to her characters
Rocky is not her character? I was fricking mega-sad when it happened.
What you mean when he got the blade to the forehead? I guess that was a bit dramatic, it was a look into his psyche outside of chaos-gremlin.
But nothing really stuck from that, he just went on being the same Rocky after whining a bit and some recovery. Maybe we're meant to notice he's a bit more unhinged or weird..?
Yeah I mean they show glimpses of Freckle being unhinged and more boiling beneath the surface. But nobody really talks about it, nothing ever seems to move from it.
It's honestly frustrating, because we only see tiny glimpses of possible character arcs and then.. nothing.
It seemed like maybe Mordecai was going on this detective esque role, maybe having some morals when interviewing that guy. That maybe he really wants to find out who killed Atlas..? Though other pages make it seem like he did.
Then Tracey just stops updating the fricking thing.
>Maybe we're meant to notice he's a bit more unhinged or weird..?
Not we, you. You should have. Because he definitely is.
His behavior does change after the head injury. Rocky became so manic that he wasn’t even flinching when Fish was firing bullets at him, instead he walked towards him.
>Maybe we're meant to notice he's a bit more unhinged or weird..?
When Rocky almost dies against the pig farmers and Freckles narrowly saves him in his manic fit, Rocky is curling into a fetal position and begging to be spared.
After the head injury, he's literally walking towards a guy that's actively shooting him, grinning wide. He IS more unhinged.
I want to see Freckle become more ruthless and Rocky descend into insanity.
this. Also furshit in general dont deserve any support.
no paws no watch
my only complai with this indie cartoon is how the characters seems to be trying to act way too forced like, theres this bizarre formality i dont know.
adn when is not this its your tipical LOL SO RANDOM like that orange cat from the previous 20 minutes episode
looks pretty good
Looks kino
>wasting time on pointless shorts instead of making a full episode
Am I meant to clap?
The shorts were promised anyway as part of a crowd fund backer tier. They are obligated to make the shorts, it’s not a frivolous side project they are doing for no reason.
> group starts delivering on promises made during fundraising
> anon is an antagonizing butthole about it
Some people are determined to be unpleasant.
Where is FRECK?
How does no one ignore the obvious namegay troll?
Just relax and ignore, Jannies will probably ban him later if they are bored enough.
Guy? He’s like a bad penny.
lackyhazy
Her art's great and I really enjoyed her comic.
Her friends have very grating, annoying voices I don't want to hear.
does anyone know what song is in the background?
rizz machine
god i want him so bad its unreal
