Crazy it’s been 30 years since this short debuted.
Hot take - I actually liked the art direction and animation in this short compared to the series proper. Don’t get me wrong, the show has excellent art direction but there’s some genuinely fantastic backgrounds and oodles upon oodles of sight gags in the short that are really clever. Really something that needed to be rewatched over and over just to see how much was put in it.
I also kindof adored the Mayor’s initial design here and his personality, a bit more neurotic compared to how childish he was later on. And yeah, Fuzzy was great here.
And how did pissed Bubs not become a meme exploitable at this point?! I made an edit if anyone wants to use it for shitposting purposes, one with a caption box one without it.
30 years ago today, "Meat Fuzzy Lumkins", the very first What-A-Cartoon short, premiered on Cartoon Network! It was the first of 2 (technically 3, if you count "Whoopass Stew") pilots for the PPG series.
It might be a hot take here, but I always liked how Fuzzy was portrayed in this short: He was a villain here, but in this pilot, he was a little more smarter in planning his scheme, going as far as to create a literal meat gun. In the series proper, he was dumbed down a bit and flipped out at even the smallest of slights.
And of course, I can't forget my favorite moment of this episode:
Isn't she cute when she's angry, folks?

Donkey Kong Land 3 was released for the regular Game Boy in 1997 worldwide; however, a special Game Boy Color version was released exclusively in Japan in 2000.
Top: the commercial for this version promoted it by stating that it contained two special cards for the (also Japan-exclusive) Donkey Kong Country trading game, being holographic Kiddy Kong cards. In the commercial, Donkey Kong looks at the cards and is moved to tears over their beauty.
Bottom: how the cards actually look, for comparison. This is what Donkey Kong is crying over.
