@@SobbleWobble13 So yeah they definitely should be keeping more of an eye out for stolen artwork now that they have working relationships with a bunch of legitimate companies, but at the same time maybe they’re still trying to figure out how to parse that with being something user submitted like a TeePublic. They’re gonna have to make people prove that they own the artwork, which may be a grey area with fanart. I hope they hammer it out soon.

[@ErisIsAnAbomination]

The weird public access vibe of this show reminds me a lot of this artist collective called Whoop Dee Doo. They work with different community organizations like schools, youth groups, bands, and performers to make performance art pieces that always have some bizarre twist to them, and they’ve even put a few of their shows on public access television. I actually got to meet the two founders at an artist residency, and I recommend you check them out if you’re a fan of this weird nostalgic vibe!

This is like those assemblies you had to go to in elementary school. The ones where they have a bunch of actors and props acting out a super cliche anti-bullying short play. Except here, the message never even starts, the "evil" character doesn't do ANYTHING, and the actors are constantly starting over from the beginning, because they likely forgot their lines.

In the mid-late 90s smoking was very bad, and as I remember, public smoking was being banned everywhere because of the dangers of second hand smoke, so it is pretty weird to hear mentions of smoking in a kid's show that wasn't negative . Also Cleo the Clown (isn't Cleo a girl's name?) is smoking a cigar, not a cigarette. I heard most people just puff on cigars instead of inhaling, but it's like I said about the second hand smoke.

This show is reminding me of two Disney Channel shows I vaguely remembered from my early childhood, Welcome to Pooh Corner and Dumbo's Circus. Both shows had costume characters which I don't remember having any problem with as a kid, but revisiting them as an adult, I notice how cursed they look, especially by today's standards. Well, the Dumbo's Circus ones don't look too bad, but the Pooh ones look very off model for what they're based on.

You can see a little tv on the set, when they cut to the bits of them performing in a school gym. 6:03 I think this was a live performance thing done for schools, and this tape was supposed to be played with it, not be it's own separate thing.
