Think twice next time you'll says "For adults only"

Adult content always own a level of friction between the die-hard fans and the casual ones, and this is much dubious if you reach the territory of animation and comics on the web. Either, it's just the Porn stuff loaded with a grating coarse language as if the cursed F four-letter word is what all these beings known to says so or you seen gratuitious violence in there, even if the main characters featured there looked like minors. (They saying all "adult", mindn't you?)

But in Europe and elsewhere, they know a thing or two about appealed grown-ups with cartoons or comics with stories that went with a begin and conclusion. Even if such elements has deteriorated in the past fifteen years for lured the internet fans, by make the stories looked like fanfiction comes to life, Saturday Morning-stand-by or an Infomercial, where characters sounds like to plug the whole thing in the storyline.

But they didn't reached the sub-par trajectory of what we use to says the "Dark Web", by a crude normalization of nudity and sex to the female characters, even if they were looked like children. Besides of this, they're looked and sounded to tell the same tiring thing, about getting sex for not be looked like a sore loser. I don't think made the schools of storytelling just for nudity or lewd jokes, and if I have trying in the past year or so, they weren't my best materials ever came out.

By weed out the trash of HentaiEra for refresh the Christine Livingstone journey at a student, this not made me on autopilot, if the concept of it is giving a new life for an unseen character created in 2018, and after a fewer attempts to give it life, (A series of written-stories were made but was cancelled when the real-life pandemic came...) this is the right opportunity to make 2026 like the Lee-Ann year! It do took her eight years to getting her due.



The existence of Lee-Ann is to offering a newer generation of leads when the Series 2 saga of Christine came likely official as to be my greatest effort ever. But I didn't know what to do with her first, and attempting myself to be a newer spy like her idol, Christine, ended prematurely in my not-so-wonderful-lifetime, when going in my past job everyday is likely a "Groundhog Day"-thing where it's a ordeal to be part of a rather toxic team for a second-hand store. (Thrift stores are now victim of their social media success, but I know what it's looked like to work on one of these stores and have to accepting any junks people donated. Is sorting for them is on their vocabulary yet?)

With the new story, The College Boy, that went with two points of storytelling: The first about an umpteenth time of the way Bugsy and Christine started to met each other, but that went with a twist, though. That leads to Lee-Ann to own a biggest part of the picture without the etiquette of "badass heroine" slapped the richness of the storytelling. You seen Christine be mad and grouchy because of a reform that didn't worked well to her (All her other classmates "cheated" the vote for include boys in the Jane Birkin's Private School, that was before, a Girls-Only kind of school) by be terribly irritated to everything. This is where the status of Christine at a lead-character has evolved since the 2010s main first adventure featuring her. When they became new, people on DeviantArt were impressed of the novelty of these, by pointed her and also Bugsy, at normal people.

We don't made heroes in there. We made people that everyone can be related. This is there I own a bigger fascination to the antiheroes, if everyone like better to made-up another heroine character from the drawer board and before to learn the basics of storytelling.

This new stage on my art is the outcome of what looked like wasted over three years to made-up characters and stories that would never fit even after only three pages! It didn't worked out for Vanessa or Sarah because of that, while Lydia Golan was solely an AI-generated character thing.

And be away of Furries was what I expected for over a decade, if the community keep to bother me with their lewd impulses and perverted issues. It would be only great to make me created a storyline that would explain the reason why they're foxes at first place, by do well... foxes things!

Because make the story "adult" don't have to be just about Porn, sex or violence. It's the lazy way to do this. The best elements were able to make us appreciated them on an artistic level when we are older than the same we do consumed at younger. That demand sophistication. And they're not much who make use of this.

And what is rather fun with the animation community is, whether our cultural differences or issues, when it's a great animated work or a stink one, we speak all the same language! Especially in the case of the classic animated shorts. The community is more alive by the Cartoon Research blog and I hope they'll keep lasted it until every ressourceful webpages about classic animation going to be shutdown or disappear.

When we saying that the industry driven more cynical year after year, that meant that we don't longer makes animation productions like it used to, and that does also to our perception with the artform at some age.
