The "I don't know how to let go" hit hard for a moment

For a moment.

[@SashaTheDog]

That part really hurt

[@dazed6511]

Until the dog sat up again 😆 I can't tell if this is satire or secretly trying to say something while being funny. My brain... is cooked

THE CAPTIONS THO!

[@beeenthusiast9421]

this has the vibe of something with a way deeper meaning but it's just total bullshit through and through

[@tidalbow8969]

Best way to describe this

[@pizarol1732]

and we love it for that

[@L--M]

The deeper meaning is that we don’t have to always look for a deeper meaning

[@Wmann]

The balloon was so realistic, like how

[@pandapal1789]

The deadly comics classic: how are you so good at this?

[@neidenMetalun]

Right?? I almost completely missed it because I was looking at the background until I recognized the very distinct sound of pulling on the string of a balloon when it's not taut. That's some nice sound design.

[@cloudshifter]

It's a 3D object with lightning on it.

[@UnofficialCyane]

I think it's a 3D render with actual physics simulation

[@pizarol1732]

its super cool to see it interact with crumble's cartoonish waddle in a realistic way

[@BanditCatArt]

All of the animation is so good, but one thing that really stood out to me was the balloon in the beginning, it’s so smooth! Keep up the great work!

[@josephweeden928]

The LCD skybox was such a striking choice in this one, I'm genuinely curious what the meaning behind it is. It gives short animation a certain texture that I just love, but I feel like there's something behind it metaphorically that I can't quite think of. Great work deadly.

[@Shadrow]

tbf i'd react that way if i let go of my balloon too also i always love your mixture of thought-provoking artistry and just, like, dudes chilling

[@Dokattak]

The letting go part and the juke was so good I'm permanently in a wheelchair from broken ankles

[@GoldenTheaterYT]

DEADLY COMICS UPLOADED? WHAT?!??? Also as always, love the strangely familiar nostalgic vibe here. Also TV sky?!? Looks awesome.

[@itsterra9381]

I was expecting something silly or spooky when I saw the vid, thought it was going to be that for a little, then heard the "I don't know how to let go" and the dog disappeared and my heart broke. Then he reappeared and I couldn't help but smile. Well done.

[@Fulano5321]

"I try to make little windows into little worlds, places you might've been to in a dream" Man you are sooo spot on at doing this it's amazing.

Every new character you add is so distinct! I cannot get enough of your animations, they are always worth the wait.

[@milkproductions8127]

Shoutout to Draw who did the subtitles! They were really creative! I loved the colour change of the "music" to red and the "(screeching)" movement. They're on par with the ones over at The Technical Difficulties.

[@blips97]

I like how the tv screen effect kinda helped to portray distance in the balloon shot

[@krazykaid]

THE CHARACTERS ARE SO SILLY AHHAHGHAGHAHGHAG I LOVE THEMM

[@shgurr]

This was so good omg, sound design, comedy, animation style nice!

[@igotnoideas]

[@AymenZero]

Right??

[@artisplatters]

it kept trying to hit hard and then became silly again I love it

[@CooperDooper38]

Eyyy, you return! This was a joy to watch, and I loved the fakeout endings lol I genuinely thought for a second that after "I don't know how to let go" and the dalmatian vanishing, it would've just ended, like it was all in the frog's head because he couldn't accept that the dalmatian had died

[@monsieurnugai]

Objectively the best animation style right now i cant believe the video is already over

[@aconcernedindividual297]

Ha, I like this. Feels like you're subverting what we expect from you specifically, which already feels subversive to a lot of other cartoons. Does that make sense? Actually I'll be honest, you've been one of my favorite animators for a long time. I've always loved the surreal bend in your animations. So having that expectation of "ooh, a new surreal DeadlyComics video!" then it sets that up, and then does something else fun? Feels pretty good, I dunno how else to describe it.

[@ReggieTheGriffon]

I swear every animation you make is unhinged in ways I couldnt even begin to explain. I love each one more and more tho

[@Bolvar_]

No better feeling like seeing a new DeadlyComics animation

[@loafcake]

the walking noises for the little mouse at the beginning are awesome

[@I_AM_ANONYMOUS_HANS]

Deadly I have watched your animations for years. Youve always made me happy

[@MetricFudge]

The foley work on the sound of the balloon bouncing at the end of the ribbon at the beginning of the video is absolutely STELLAR.

[@ToweringToska]

When Crumble said they don't know how to let go, and the dog was gone, that was when I realized that the dog was perched on a grave stone the whole time. The moment struck me perfectly, then it politely "just kidding"d and that was sweet, but it didn't have to, it earned the sad surprise I felt for a moment.

[@SarekDesian]

I want you to know that I go back and watch through your videos every couple of months, and I absolutely adore your style and sense of humor. Every time a new video pops up, I get a little smile on my face, knowing that I now have another of your fantastic little pieces of art to add to my routine now and again. Thank you for making these depressing/cheery little animations. I will be watching them for many more years to come.

[@UnofficialCyane]

God I love that hand made aesthetic, and your humor is great too

[@sdslayer100]

[@josephmeluso2377]

Got me in so many ways and im still impressed with the mixed animation all throughout!

I love the colored subtitles it adds so much lol

[@RoyBoy_i3c]

Deadlycomics' animations makes me very happy :3

[@CarlMakesVideos]

Not to exaggerate too much, but this one is REALLY good. The sense of timing on each punchline, the tone whiplash as comedy, the subtle gags like the balloon bouncing off the sky screen. Very nice.

[@JustKels]

I love this, and letting go of the balloon and the extreme reaction afterwards reminds me of my nephew - he had an extreme anxiety response to the existance of balloons and releasing them, so who knows - maybe that’s what he was feeling inside his head when we did “balloon releases” a couple times (exposure therapy)

[@usbsnake1436]

I always love your animations, they feel relevant, no matter when I watch them, it's a strange feeling

[@Not_So_Average]

My entire day grinds to a halt the minute DC uploads Clear the schedule, I'm watching deadly comics I absolutely adore these, they make my whole week!

[@Cookee6630]

Your animation style is the best on this platform.

[@cowboiky]

This has the vibe of a 90's short that plays before a movie adaptation of a kids show and it's giving me a false sense of nostalgia watching it. I'm specifically thinking about the Rugrats movies and the realistic sky shots it had contrasted to the clunky Klasky Csupo animation.

[@r.p4336]

[@IAmEnormous]

This is some sort of absurdist children's fable, I love it.

[@MadHatter42]

I feel like this is a metaphor for attaining enlightenment in Buddhism. The balloon represents earthly attachment and selfish desire, which, though causing us suffering, we so identify with that we are unwilling to let it go. The little green guy is seeking guidance from wise master dog on how to let go of his desire and end his pain. The dog, sitting on a gravestone which represents the ego-death of Buddhahood, gives the sage, yet simple, advice that letting go of desire is simply an act of releasing our unnatural grip on life and accepting the essential nothingness that is our true nature. Once released from his suffering, the green guy attains enlightenment, and transcends this world to arrive at Nirvana, the divine realm of pure spiritual bliss. However, rather than live in Nirvana for the rest of eternity, the green guy joins master dog in becoming a bodhisattva, one who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain on earth to guide others on the path to holy peace and freedom from desire.
