I'm also still offering art commissions! I'm still getting by with only freelance work and commissions like this, so please consider helping me out and you'll get some fun artwork out of it. DM me if interested - thank you!

Looney Tunes has had a LOT of Big Bad Wolfs over the decades. WHICH ONE'S THE BEST?

Outside of trying to kill Mickey Mouse for the past 97 years... A pretty nice guy.

And if you'd like a more modern example of surprisingly solid trans rep, here's an episode of Too Loud by @nicocolaleo.bsky.social where one of the two main characters overtly figures out she's trans.

Look I LOVE Bill and Joe, but it's kinda crazy how much Hanna-Barbera plagiarized stuff back then. We all know Flintstones = Honeymooners, Yogi Bear = Art Carney, etc. But how about the original Season 1 Flintstones theme song apeing the Bugs Bunny Show theme?? Give a listen- what do you think?

I suppose, but that was more for the anniversary of Warner Bros as a studio. 2030 will be special just for the Looney Tunes brand and characters. So no DC superheroes, MGM, Hanna-Barbera or Cartoon Network characters would fit into that

Haha yeah... Thanks to WB just not giving a shit, history hasn't been especially kind to the preservation of Looney Tunes work and locations

Nico Colaleo @nicocolaleo.bsky.social · May 23

I really hope Warner Bros does a celebratory animated short or something, a la Disney's "Once Upon a Studio" when the time soon arrives... (knowing WB today, probably NOT)... Because in just a little under 5 years, on April 19 2030, it'll be the 100th anniversary of Looney Tunes.

FRIENDSHIP: Sorry to hype too much but 10/10. 100/100. A comedy masterpiece. Besides South Park in 1999, this was the hardest I've ever heard a full audience laugh. Alongside Elaine May's HEARTBREAK KID and Albert Brooks' LOST IN AMERICA as the best of cringe/uncomfortable comedy

My Emmy Award has arrived! The highest honor you can receive working in television, and I still can't believe I've achieved it. THANK YOU, everyone - friends, family and fans - for believing in me, and for your love and support. ❤️ And extra special thanks to everyone at StoryBots and Netflix!
