Personally, all of my favorite animated shows/movies/television aren't comedies... I've rarely laughed at any movie not directed by Giuseppe Andrews. I watch 'em for the entertainment -- and, sure, for the enlightenment, might as well say it. And this show is about existentialism, spirit seeking, neo mysticism, surrealism... combined with my own life stories. Everything that's happened so far has had something to do with my life... I just present things as is and don't really have any interest whatsoever in attempting to be "funny". It wouldn't work at all, I'm talking about some very dark things here, and there's like a billion things to comprehend in every scene. I'm just going to continue to make it darker and more alienating... It's not total brain-shutdown material, though it's presented that way... the shitty art style isn't done for humor, it's done for surrealism... Granted, there are some things here or there that crack me up, but I have a very particular sense of humor anyway. It's okay that my life isn't entertaining to you, though, haha. I can live with that. There's going to be very few people who "get" it, though I purposely have made the first few episodes a bit simple to ease viewers into my style. Soon, I'm REALLY going to pump up the surrealism... The thing people often misunderstand about me is that I am capable of doing things a "certain" way... in this goes with music or art or anything... playing it straight, ya know.... I know how to replicate other people's styles, if I wanted... I have "talent" I guess (though anyone could probably do it if they just read and practice for a while).... I could probably technically make the show hilarious, if I wanted.... I just don't want to! Anything even HALF-WAY resembling an idea that's already been beaten to death by someone else or is just too obvious, I throw it out. No point being like everyone else. In any way, shape, or form.
...And yeah, Derek, Kyle is the guy from Robe. and that's EXACTLY how he sounds.
Some trivia:
The last 30 seconds or so of episode 4 is 94 different paintings that I did, with 1 every .125 seconds. Also, the weird dreamy sound you hear in the background for most of the episode is just.. uh.. guitar harmonics slowed down.
