    A little info, Lackadaisy is based off a 2006 webcomic by Tracy Butler. The comic is full of well-written historical 1920s facts on the era and the artwork is amazingly detailed also beautiful. Rocky & Freckle are cousins and was raised together by Freckle mother who is this stern Irish Catholic lady, The Savoys are Creole Cajuns siblings works for the Marigold hotel/ revival speakeasy along with Mordecai who used to work for the Lackadaisy speakeasy under Altas before his murder. Ivy is Altas goddaughter whose father was close to Altas.

      @MaxHickman The comic is at the moment still on hiatus. But Tracy mentioned that she will get back to making more chapters once she isn't so busy with other responsibilities, especially when it comes to indie animation production. I still recommend checking out the comic because this series has so much more to offer than just the Pilot.

      @@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Also, Calvin aka Freckle, has a huge crush on Ivy. In the comic, they become an item. Though I haven't read enough to know if they stay together or not. I also have no idea if they'll become an item in the web series, but I hope they do.
      EDIT: I think Mordecai and Ivy knew each other in the past, is why he didn't shoot her and the mention of old times.

    1. The creator of the Lackadaisy comic originally wanted the characters to be human, but them decided on them being anthro cats because it allowed the art to achieve the "flow" she was going for. She even goes into detail about it in videos and/or livestreams and you can tell from it that her technical skill as an artist is *incredible*
    2. The comic has been around for a *while* , I only discovered it around ~2018 , but its been around since 2006.

    This is the literal OG of "started on the internets to become a commercial indie". Lackadaisy has been a thing for seventeen years and on DeviantArt for fourteen. It might be cutesy in style but the time period thematics are pretty accurate in more of Don Bluth than Disney way, and so are the personalities. The animal choices are also deliberate, the comic started as humans, but cats simply fit the art style and animation goal better, and also better translate the Bluth/Bakshi style much more cleanly.
    Not really gonna into the story since it's been literally almost twenty years in the making but there is a TON of lore under the hood, and should this go mainstream hopefully that will stay mostly intact, since Butler has kept the rights close to the vest.

    I dont know if you plan on reading the webcomic, but a couple of minor points:
    Viktor used to be one of Mitzi's main bodyguard/runners; he was her best muscle. but he got injured and now as you see, he is the bartender and he isnt too thrilled about it lol
    Mister Sable is the owner of the stone quarry that the fight took place in, hence his concern about the use of dynamite and machines. Rocky is not very fond of Sable (for reasons i dont know yet), which is why he crashed through the sign with an evil smile on his face and went nuts destroying his quarry. I dont know if you watched past the end credits scene, but near the end of the video, you can see a picture of Sable looking at his poor quarry with sad eyes.

    From my understanding, the construction lines being left in are meant as a stylistic hat-tip to the sort of animation from the 60s and into the 80s where xerography was used to speed up the work of animation by printing the artist's linework onto the cels directly before coloring. It sped up the process, but in a lot of those old cartoons, there are places where the lines are still visible. So kind of like games/shows like Cuphead that are trying to evoke the vibe of old rubber-hose style animation, Lackadaisy is trying to evoke a similarly early style (which I think dovetails very well with the themes of sentimentality and nostalgia in the story).
    (Overall, I feel like there's a very strong influence from the old Don Bluth cartoons, like The Secret of NIMH and An American Tail. Not just in the design of the animal characters, but in the color palette. I've always loved the more subdued colors of those cartoons, and there was a particular *sparkle* it allowed them to capture that is very similar to what we see in the opening.)

    The etymology for "spirits" when referring to alcohol is an interesting one.
    It refers to the old time belief that alcohol was part of magical substance that constitutes for life.
    This is what people used to explain why alcohol would make people feel warm after enjoying some and also why people would start behaving atypically.
    It was believed that the state of drunkenness was caused by enjoying too much "spirit" as in you're getting possessed.
    Although this explanation has been dropped a long time ago, the word stuck around in the same use.
    So it does turn out that alcohol "spirit" and ghostly "spirit" have mutual history.

    Glad you two got to this! I love Lackadaisy and have been into the comic since about 2010 a bit off and on.
    I do wonder if some people's feelings about Rocky's poetic intro about the Mississippi in various reactions and comments have to do with how familiar they are with the south and the big river's place in story and song in parts of the US, because his poem calls back to a lot of country/folk songs and US literary 'classics' I grew up with even though I never actually lived near the Mississippi personally.
    It deliberately is like the opening to something Shakespearean, or an old musical or play in general.

  • @Scarlett-Hofferson

    One thing I want to point out about the art style that many people don’t realize. The sketch lines are fully intentional. If you look at some older Disney animated movies you’ll see the same thing. For example, watch a clip or two from the Aristocats. I’ve always love the inclusion of those lines and it makes me so happy to see more projects going with that style nowadays.

    To be honest with you both, this project “Lackadaisy” has taken up around 10 or 7 years of the making that the production seems to gain momentum with the use of their web comic that it is based on. As it’s the biggest project that is like Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss that take time and effort to make the series shine to new audiences or bring old audiences from the comics to see a animation that never been done before. With the addition of having “Rough Lines” for each character moving is showing style from the era of cartoons that use line drawing experience. So it seems great to use and show style from past to future versions of animation.
    Also the voicing for each character is a perfect representation of the VA personality that sparks the mood of characteristic traits for showing. Like Rocky is voiced by Michael Kovach who done Angel Dust from Hazbin Hotel’s Pilot and N from Murder Drones. As each character showing being feral when being excited or changing to anger. It seems to be a animal instinct of their behavior to change. Frickle seems to be like Moxxie from Helluva Boss with a gentle soul but can get his hands dirty if he is giving something to do.
    With all said, I can’t wait to see more from this series and reactions from you both 😄 there are comic dubs if you want to see Ep 1 early or wait till the series shine out there. And also congratulations on that many subscribers, I hope more to come and you both keep up smiling to the community.
