The Parody in Chapter 24 · 2:51pm Jul 20th, 2014

For those curious as to what the hell that was all about in chapter 24.

It was a tribute to one of my favorite cartoons ever.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3qmpu_tex-avery-mgm-1943-who-killed-who_fun

Who killed Who (1943) by the legendary Tex Avery.

Why do i say legendary, because, while they are not present in this particular short, Tex Avery is the original creator of SO MANY cartoon gags that are reused today. This includes a few used in Mlp! :eeyup:

For instance, Someone being inside a large bell when it's struck, and shaking as they fall out. The multiple random doors gag when twilight and fluttershy are chasing celestia's pheonix (i never get the name right). Most notably: when Dash is running from Pinkie Pie and she is always inexplicably RIGHT THERE after she finds a new hiding place, this was used in lots of his cartoons (usually featuring droopy the dog, who he also originally created)

there are probably more too.

as for the next chapter i'm feeling inspired so who knows it may be out tonight ;) (don't quote me on that though)

Are people still asking about that?:pinkiecrazy:

"Row Row fight the Powah!" :rainbowwild:

the only thing I ask, is if I can kill Arctic. That character is making me turn more and more into a Sith.

:rainbowkiss: Awesome.
So you're writing right now? (Or an hour ago...)
I just died laughter, I made the most suggestive mistake. :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

NOW i'm writing :rainbowkiss::scootangel:

I have heard of Tex Avery, but didn't know he made all of these gags commonly used in cartoons. It makes you wonder how he came up with this stuff(e.g where did he get the ideas from?). I find it fascinating.

he was quite the wacko :rainbowwild:

There were times later on when the creators of Tom and Jerry and Loony toons (in the 50's) would call him up because they ran out of ideas for gags. He would walk in, slap one down, and walk out :rainbowlaugh:

he was truly a comical genius :pinkiehappy:

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh: That's awesome....wait...no...noooo! Dailymotion why do you keep crashing on me!! :fluttershysad::applecry:

Reminded me of Mare Do Well

I hope we get the chapter before tonight. Cause then I can actually read it before camp tomorrow. And by the way, not commenting on Chapter 24. I'm really not in the mood to be silly right now. Don't expect anything from me 'til 25.

Kestrel won't be able to edit it until 7 tonight, so i doubt it will be out earlier (only about 1K words in anyway.) But i hope to have it done either tonight or tomorrow before the evening.

2301989 Seriously? I love Tom and Jerry! Well, the older episodes at least, I don't like the newer spinoffs. I used to watch it all the time!

lots of gags in the old tom and jerry were first used in Tex Avery.

in fact the "Wolf Pacifier" wrench gag was given to them by Tex. They said they needed a gag in this one scene, and he came up with that on the spot :rainbowlaugh: i wish i could be that clever

So is the next chapter coming out tomorrow or late tonight? I wanna be awake for it tonight, but I have to sleep soon... :ajsleepy:

2303297

unfortunately no, the next chapter has panned out to be about twice as long than i thought it would be... so tomorrow is more likely

Well as soon as I find the time to get started on it all... :rainbowdetermined2:

2302081 I know! What's its deal?!? :facehoof:
