The only way to get this animated is to get fans to do it for free which is certainly possible but a far more epic undertaking than a webcomic. Weirder things have happened so who knows. Would be something impressive if it wasn't shut down by one of the like half dozen rights holders lol

They could do original characters but then some of the charm is lost in watching these beloved characters play out anime tropes.
They could settle for very close analogues for the characters but that's still playing with fire.

I would think the patreon nature of the comic would leave it open to cease and desist orders and/or lawsuits.

Nah, the cool think about patreon/kofi is that you are paying for the act of him working, not the work itself, thats why theres so many high paid fanart and fangames using existing characters that are not striken by c&d and lawsuits.

I'm talking Bartkira type stuff which is totally done by fans for fans with no intent to make a professional product. Could still be really well animated knowing the talent willing to work on these types of passion projects but by no means do I think something like this gets an "actual" animation adaptation.

That's good to know. I figured this was just flying under the radar.

So I'm kinda figuring at this point that the big bad has to be some
human, manipulating the various denizens of animation against each other. It would tie into the meta aspects of the comic obviously enough, and... Hell it could straight up be the author. Alternatively, some major figure in animation history. Like, imagine them having to fight Walt Disney or William Hanna of some such.

On a note related more to the current chapter, while we're all guessing that 'Mickey' is actually Shaggy's previous model/clone/whatever, here's my query: What the hell happened to his previous model, if there wasn't a war yet? Damaged by Scoob in a Ballyhoo induced rage? His own power was too much?

I think there were some hints of there being a war? "There were those wanted more power" etc etc and I then Scoob came along and save the day

Another interesting thing I noticed while rereading those panels is that Scoob is one of the commanders of the six fleets. So does this mean there are six commanders?

So waiting for updates after binging this comic in one day, anyone else have any good webcomics recommendations that have flown under the radar? I recently found one where
A webcomic telling the weird but cute romcom story of a "What If" Gannondorf and Zelda got married. It's drawn well and has a good mix of comic/drama and adheres really well to LoZ lore.

Also I'm all in on the Fake Mickey having the Ballyhoo 'Final Cut' and literally skinned Mickey to wear him and trick people.

Try http://www.backcomic.com, I think it's somewhat similar to Scoob and Shag

My favorite theory I heard so far is a friend of mine suggesting that at the end of the series we'll cut back to Kermit, Shags and Scoob in front of that mansion high as fuck and going "wow that was one fucking trip."

What if number 1 is not
mickey but oswald. Or maybe oswald is inside the mickey skin? Final cut would make sense, him being cut from history so many years, though the size with the costume doesnt make much sense

Just started reading Back, it's great!

The Patreon was stealth-changed; no more $500/month threshold for two comics a week, the next is $1000/month for more out-of-town cons and more merch. Also the "quit my day job" was upped from $1200 to $2000/month (way more realistic, tbh.)

Yeah way more realistic goals. I could do this for $2k a month for sure.

Ain't gonna lie chief.
This makes me sad.
It's basically what I've been trying to do with another project and finding out this beat me to it, and did it better than i ever could knocks the wind right outta my sail
No! No don't let this get you down.

I'm super familiar with this, but you will always, always find things that are similar to your own ideas working in the creative field. I just spent a week working on a pitch and when I described one of the character's powers to my girlfriend, she went "Oh so she's like Deadpool?" and I was like FUCK! But that's the nature of the beast, there are basically no original ideas anymore. It's aaaaaall about the execution. So even if this comic is similar to yours, or you think he did it better, it's NOT yours and it's not the way you would have done it and your way still has value!!

You can do it, don't give up!

I have no idea how popular some webcomics are, but Star Power is pretty great? It's basically what if Carol Danvers was a scientist and not a huge jerk. starpowercomic.com/

Jump Cut feels like a perfect name for his stand.

Also holy shit, that's one hell of a cliffhanger.

Also wait the Martians are okay? I thought they were dead! So they survived somehow?

damn, I was close in predicting fake Mickey's ballyhoo. Also Shag is definitely a clone.

Jump Cut is such a good name for Mick's ballyhoo. I'm kinda sad that he's finally been unmasked, those horrifying creepy Mickey panels are amazing.

Seems like we're due for some major story development in the coming chapters. There's so much stuff going on right now between Mick, the Martians, and whatever is going on with Shag, I'm looking forward to the flashback making sense of all of this.

Nope; Sam brought Scoob to them earlier. They were even near the same room Mick was trying to get into.

Oh man... Did my mans just pull 4th hokage dash on dude? Damn his back was turned to him.

I wonder how exactly

"Jump Cut" works? Is he manipulating time? Or is he just speed blitzing?

So...

The Martians actually are the invaders? Or just assimilated into the invading force the way Bugs and the other toons were? I just feel like it'd be kinda lame if in the end it was just the Martians.

This is burning through plot faster than The Good Place S2, haha.

Glad that whole anime thing was a misdirect; there are already plenty of elements to screw around with in this arc.

Also, this was cool to see:

And it's off, ladies and gentlemen. Goddamn it, we have to wait another week.

The mask comes off, I mean. But yeah, looks like "Mickey" has the Ballyhoo version of King Crimson.

Alright but have we considered
that the Monstars are somehow behind it or will become an element of the plot at some point to complete the ultimate high-effort shitpost?

Played-straight Monstars are a necessity IMO. But I feel like we're not quite there yet. Save them for a few arcs down the road.
