A few interesting tidbits of info: 1) the rifle Serafine is using is the M1918 Browning automatic rifle or more commonly known as simply the BAR. While the Thompson smg (Tommy gun) is more often associated with gangsters during prohibition, modified versions of the BAR were also commonly used by various groups due to it being easier to acquire. 2) Moonshiners (and others selling alcohol illegally) would sometimes hide the alcohol in graves and caskets and make up a fake person who was buried there. They would then tell whomever they were selling it to through a fake obituary. 3) the news article Mitzi is reading is based off of a real life famous actress whom actually died by getting her scarf caught in an automobile (at least I think it was her automobile been a while since I read about it) Also Baja blast and instant ramen
2:20 They had to add back the lines, as most modern production environments don't even create those lines. 8:26 Fun fact: this was before safety glass for cars was invented. 9:40 considering he lives in that car… 10:18 Not a rage problem; He's a gun nut. Sadly, his… enthusiasm prevented him from being in the police academy. 18:11 He got… sentimental. 23:26 The problem is not making the moonshine. the problem was _not_ getting caught. 26:16 He's the bartender because he can't be an enforcer anymore. His knees are shot. 28:14 There's only one tiger. Victor might be a lynx, and Freckle is a Tabby.
11:57 If you pay attention, Rocky intentionally steered so they would go through the sign rather than the entrance in the fence. 12:08 Mordecai is definitely a tuxedo with his white paws, feet, tail tip, mouth and "eyebrows".
Lackadaisy has been a long-running online comic for a while now and I couldn't be happier to see these characters getting a bigger momentum in this way. If you want to see more of them, there are a couple shorts that have been made since featuring moments with the characters which, in the world, would happen before the pilot (three, specifically: "Breakthrough," "Stratagem," and "Ingenue"). They also have a Season 1 trailer if you want to put all of that together for a reaction video.
Lackadaisy is based upon the webcomic of the same name; the characters themselves based upon the creator's collection of chaotic cats. A few background details (from the comic and history) which help explain the context: Prohibition put an absolute stranglehold not only on booze, but also anything which could be used to create alcohol. (In some places, even yeast was tightly controlled.) Factor for the insane profit margin and you begin to see how virtually anything remotely intoxicating could and did find its way into a bottle of booze. Pretty much every mixed drink you've ever heard of originated in this era as barkeeps sought to mask the hideous taste of what passed for booze back then. ~ Atlas May and Asa Sweet were amicable associates (if not actual friends) who founded Lackadaisy and Marigold speakeasies, though increased enforcement of Prohibition forced them to compete for inventory. ~ Atlas May was killed under mysterious circumstances and rumors abound that his wife Mitzi was somehow involved. Lackadaisy pretty much died with Atlas but Mitzi soldiers on, determined to restore the speakeasy to its former glory. ~ Viktor and Mordecai were Atlas' right-hand men (er, cats), procuring potations and eliminating anything which interfered with business. Marigold had been trying recruit the pair forever; Viktor is eternally loyal to Lackadaisy, but Mordecai took the offer after Atlas died. (The main reason Viktor is now tending bar is that the two argued over Mordecai leaving; Mordecai 'settled the argument' by blowing away Viktor's kneecap.) ~ Ivy Pepper is Lackadaisy's resident jazz-baby, cashier at the Little Daisy Cafe, and Atlas' goddaughter; when Atlas died, Viktor assumed the mantle as her godfather. (Mordecai didn't shoot Ivy because he knew full well that harming her in any way would instantly make an eternal enemy of his former comrade.) ~ Rocky is an idiot with a heart of gold and brains of arsenic - eternally loyal to Mitzi (whom he always addresses as Ms M) as she's the only person who ever truly supported him. He's convinced that Wick Sable intends Mitzi harm, so is always out to sabotage theirrelationship (yes, that was Wick's quarry Rocky destroyed in Act II).
23:32 they actually would cut alcohol with many different things, coffin varnish included. It was to make the supply of alcohol last longer but most of the stuff they did used were poisonous that is if they didn't use water. Most would not have used water as it degrades the tastes and would have used lots of things to still give a taste to the alcohol
This is one of my favorite indie animation pilots. The comic is pretty great too. Between this and Batman Caped Crusader I love series set in this era.
Part of me says they should make Viktor the doorman and Horatio the bartender. The other part says Horatio's probably got a drinking problem and can't be trusted with the product. (Diet Dr. Pepper, btw)
The show is so gorgeous looking. For anyonr wondering, they are still working on the show and periodically drop a few minute longer videos on their TH-cam channel. I really hope they're able to have the money to get the whole show done because this is awesome
Chelzor, you might want to read the online comic by the same name, I think the pilot might be based on what is happening after the comic stopped, the comic would answer some of your questions.
The most amazing thing about this pilot, for me, is that almost everybody did their parts at home, because it was in the middle of the Covid quarantine.
Part of the reason Viktor is manning the bar is apparently mobility issues, so the bartender role is one of the only things he can do. Othereise he'd probably be the one collecting the dead drop.
I'm eating Lay's new Masala flavored chips and drinking my favorite beverage ... water. It's wild to see a webcomic I read what I was young officially turned into a proper piece of animation so many years later, and with some well known voice talent, too!
It's not hard to make alcohol. But for it to taste like anything, it has to age - and those making "bathtub gin" weren't waiting around the years that can take. Likely as not, that "Canadian" whiskey wasn't much older than the grave it was hidden in.
And Rocky knew it. If you pay attention to when they arrive at the quarry, Rocky grins evilly and suddenly the car swerves from going through the gate to smashing through the fence, and the sign proclaiming it to be Sable's quarry.
Since you’re looking for more story now, there’s also a few shorts posted on their channel. And if that’s not enough, it’s based on a comic that’s been running for years that could be read.
FINALLY!! Glad that you reacted to it and like the pilot. There a short clips and mini episode of some characters backstories. Hope you'll react to it some day ❤🙏🏻
I love the way Mordecai moves before he aims his pistol to shoot the car, like a professional gentleman preparing for a duel with pistols. Really reflects his serious attitude as a ruthless assassin. But, even he can get “sentimental”.
Please watch the (Mini Episode) and the (Stratagem) videos as well (only a couple min each, the (Mini Episode) is especially adorable and explains some things why some of the characters acted the way they did in the pilot).
7:57 You are the first reacter I have seen who noticed the car already in that frame. Many don't even notice the car in the second frame, not until the lights go on.
Fun fact the BAR in this most likely has the barrel shortened. And also I don't remember how long this ban lasted but when the ATF was first established during prohibition, a pistol was as illegal to own as alcohol for a while. Until the ban on pistols was later removed due to public out cry. The reasoning the ATF has for banning pistols was to make it illegal to own guns that can be easily concealed, and much of the bans from prohibition are still around today.
Holy shit, that obituary. Guy died like a cartoon character. "Herman Hapfamschfeel was struck by a runaway circus calliope near the terminus of Biddle street whereupon, in a cacophony of frenzied glee, he was flung into the Mississippi River. Requiring the painstaking efforts of the No. 26 Firehouse Brigade, his remains were later disentangled from the paddlewheel of the SS Albatross, having been arranged into an impressive Merovingian knot. 'He died doing what he loved,' remarked his stoical widow, by whom he is survived, alongside a niece, a nephew, several Southern cousins, a shoe-wearing donkey named Pibbles, and a prized collection of 64 fashionable soup [obscured] housed at his West End residence."
6:47 "That's not gonna fit in that trunk. Like, the coffin's not gonna fit in the trunk." 7:10 "Ohhhhhhh" 6:36 Rocky: "Settle down, cousin. The spirits are all bottled up." (CLUE!)
9:24 There is no Drive in those old cars. They were still all manual gear boxes, and unsynchronised ones at that. Gotta double clutch to shift gear (press the clutch to drop out of gear, release and press clutch again to get into gear).
1 you can make alcohol out of anything with shugar in it. 2 moonshine requires some machinery that can be real hard to hide. 3 if you don't know what you are doing it comes out bad and possibly dangerous.
Some have theorized that Rocky’s manic behavior underneath his suave guise, is a result of lead poisoning from the hats they’d produced back then. Mad Hatter syndrome. Meanwhile, the writing from the comic seems to hint at the orange cat having an anger problem and itchy trigger finger due to some dark past involving the police department or military. That type of background in the service. The Cajun siblings with Mordecai are just violence loving nuts with a devil may care attitude. You can tell based on their French-southern accent hinting at Cajun/Creole roots from Louisiana.
It might not be well known but the process to make alcohol can be explosive and dangerous, the unprofessional production of alcohol has resulted in tragic ends, the proper machinery makes it 100% safer!
@@chelzorthedestroyer apparently I had bootleggers in my family as well back in those days, it is not how I found out about the danger however I am a millennial nerd and wanted to know about that stuff!
@@chelzorthedestroyer coming from the source comic its a lot more action focused than I would expect. And my thoughts are from this essentially being our introduction and we will be continuing straight on from this pilot as essentially a canon episode zero. Freckle is involved already and his character introduction has been entirely skipped. Rocky is impulsive but not as wacky and idiotic. He has the ability to take things seriously even if his mouth tends to run and get himself into trouble. He's a true believer in the establishment and a hard worker for Miss M. Miss M is fantastic though her introduction is also rushed and missing key points I liked. The introduction of Mr. Sable this early is interesting, I don't have that much of an issue with it. The funeral home helping them get spirits has its own characters, one of which I quite like. It was a whole ordeal to get them on board as a source of liquor. The young lady cat who's name escapes me at this moment basically had to beg and prod her way into being involved and as is part of the reason Freckle left the straight and narrow to help Rocky. The Creole cats are not introduced this early, again, an interesting choice that I feel was made for the sake of action and conflict. Mordecai (tuxedo car) I do not think would have hesitated to take the shot he didn't in the end. He is incredibly no nonsense and while does have some underlying mystery to him, is very much someone who does business and doesn't tolerate deviation from objective. At least the second part is well shown. It just seems such a departure at this moment from the nice slow burn of a struggling speakeasy making one last gasp at former glory.
This is one of those things that I like the animation and the character design but the story didn't really grab me. Didn't hate it by any means and I'm willing to give it a few more episodes.
The 2 cats in the video that were digging up a grave. They're not fully finished yet. You can literally see the sketch outlines moving on the inside of their Body.
i remember watching this on release and that character doing the opening monologue is so very tumblr and kinda cringy its almost hard to watch any bit he is in, everyone else tho is easier to watch
Personally I really didn't like Lackadaisy. The main character was very annoying, and I don't like that he goes on these monologues that feel like I'm listening to nothing. That being said, the sketchy animation on its own looks nice, and the villains were kind of interesting. It was clearly not for me tho. P.S. I'm drinking strawberry lemonade, and eating chicken pasta.
# 0001 If there's anything I've learned is that just about every group of ragtag people like them always have someone like Rocky in their midst. Hopefully we find out what his deal is. My money is that his backstory is uber dark as hell.
First time I saw the pilot I was like “THEY’RE SO FLUFFY!”
Whatever you say Agnes😂😂
This whole series is adorable
A few interesting tidbits of info:
1) the rifle Serafine is using is the M1918 Browning automatic rifle or more commonly known as simply the BAR. While the Thompson smg (Tommy gun) is more often associated with gangsters during prohibition, modified versions of the BAR were also commonly used by various groups due to it being easier to acquire.
2) Moonshiners (and others selling alcohol illegally) would sometimes hide the alcohol in graves and caskets and make up a fake person who was buried there. They would then tell whomever they were selling it to through a fake obituary.
3) the news article Mitzi is reading is based off of a real life famous actress whom actually died by getting her scarf caught in an automobile (at least I think it was her automobile been a while since I read about it)
Also Baja blast and instant ramen
Hello fellow gun nerd
The BAR was liked because it was easier to acquire, it was liked because it was a rifle caliber machine gun that was easy to use and transport
I see, that makes sense. Thank you fellow gun nerd
If memory serves, Bonny and Clyde wrote John Browning a letter praising the BAR.
@@bthsr7113Bonnie and Clyde had a cut down model if I'm remembering correctly.
2:20 They had to add back the lines, as most modern production environments don't even create those lines.

28:14 There's only one tiger. Victor might be a lynx, and Freckle is a Tabby.
The rock quarry they demolished belonged to Mr. Sable, the "upstanding" citizen at the bar.
11:57 If you pay attention, Rocky intentionally steered so they would go through the sign rather than the entrance in the fence.

Also, 23:00 as i like to say, "If it can't be used as paint thinner, it ain't real moonshine."
