Purps Tractatus Logico-Squidbilious

So Ive watched Season 1.
I like it!
It is very much in the vein of some other Adult Swim shows I like, particularly Sealab and ATHF; Characters stand around having awkward conversations and then some random whimsical shit happens.
In terms of writing I'd say its up there with those, but so far it doesnt have one *really* great standout character, like Captain Murphy or Carl.

The visuals are so shit tho, reminds me of their more wacky shit like 12oz mouse, they are often just crude scribbles, it may as well be a radio show.
Visually, ATHF and Xavier Renegade angel for example, are quite ugly, but, they are colorful and richly detailed. They give you something to look at. I actually think how grounded and detailed the art for ATHF is, adds to the humor when totally nonsensical fantasy stuff is happening.

Anyway I like it and i will continue watching, will probably watch 1 ep every now and again.

I've consumed 3 seasons so far, and my thoughts are pretty similar to yours.

I don't think the writing is as good as ATHF though... not by a long shot. Still, it's good enough to keep me coming back & watching another episode now & again.

I really like how the squids themselves are animated. but all the other visuals are just awful. Not "offensive" awful, but "boring & bland" awful.

At first I agreed about the lack of standout characters, but... Dan Halen is really growing on me. The fact they don't overuse him is even better.

Dan Halen is that standout character you're looking for.


Robin Kestrel - 2019-09-07

Dan Halen, the Sheriff, Denny... so many characters come into their own over the years.

DEATH TO AMERICA

You really wanna go this way?!

My favorite episode is season 3 ep 12 "Tuscaloosa Dumpling".

He doesn't have two ships does he?


Spike Jonez - 2019-09-08

Sheriff Sharif and Denny balance out the show.

If anyone doesn't know, the voice of Early Cuyler is Unknown Hinson, who is a weird country act you Need to See.


Mister Yuck - 2019-09-08

In the same vein, 12Oz Mouse's theme song and one of the characters is by the country punk band 9 Pound Hammer which you Need to Look Up. They don't tour anymore as far as I know.

There are so many clips I want to submit here but I am restraining myself... barely.. with such a plethora of episodes to choose from.. It's hard..What I'm saying is it's worth watching pretty much every episode If only to see the hat Early Cutler has on.


casualcollapse - 2019-09-10

Fuck. Cuyler, I meant Cuyler
