Just a little heads up to anyone wondering. The funding was supposed to be at least $125,000 and has now currently hit over $350,000. So it looks like this season will be happening :) Edit: it is now at $669,000, this is looking so promising! Also thanks to everyone who has liked this comment! You guys are cool!

I love how everything in this short is in muted, solemn colors except Mitzi, who is vibrant and warm, especially compared to a very greyscale-like Atlas. It really helps emphasize how Mitzi is a ray of sunshine in Rocky's rough life. Little touches like this just prove how talented these animators and directors are.

As someone that has read the comic, it is great to see this kind of backstory that wasn't even in the comic animated like this. Looking forward to the whole season, it is going to be great.

[@thepoleontheroad]

Looks like we're really gonna see Rocky's backstory proper, the depth of his character and it looks like his relationship with Mitzi is A LOT deeper than originally expected. Seems she's one of the two mother figures in his life after his own mother's unfortunate passing: his aunt Nina being the more stern one teaching him responsibility (if he's even capable of learning any) and Mitzi being the warmer one providing him with support. Also, the animation continues to be AMAZING. Keep it up Tracy, Fable, Michael, Ashe, SungWon, Bel, Lisa, everyone!

[@charliefarmer4365]

Whatever happened to make Mina kick him out, it must have been BAD when you consider the amount of patience it must have taken to raise him. Perhaps it had something to do with Freckle's father... I hope we get a reunion between Rocky and Freckle, the first meeting between Ivy and Rocky, and how Rocky ended up stepping in to fill Mordecai's shoes. Also I wonder how old Rocky is in this trailer? 19?

It also makes sense that he'd be a little crazy -- he was clearly a manic child in a time when people frowned upon anyone outside of cultural norms -- and after finally getting a one-in-a-million chance to pursue his dreams, only to find that chance slip away with the Speakeasy, must have been maddening. So he ends up bootlegging -- even though he's not good at it -- which makes him even more crazy because he has to desperately cling to that dream and it's putting his life in danger. He's way more complex than at first glance.

To be honest, I'm glad that enough attention will be paid to Rocky and his backstory will be told to us, because I myself was in some way looking for a better life. Show Rocky's optimism, how he does not give up no matter what, and even if he is kicked out of the next shelter with a powerful kick, he gets up, smiles and goes forward. How does he do it? How does he have the strength to smile despite what happened to him? It should be a good story!

Plus, the truth about them being involved with sex/child trafficking, the C_A's Operation Monarch project, and subliminal occultic messaging is coming to light more so than ever. At this point in time, Lackadaisies animation is an absolute breath of fresh air for independent animation in total. I look forward to viewing how this'll unfold.

[@thepoleontheroad]

Also has the potential to be a lot more mature and adult-oriented than anything by Disney (there is blood shown, people (cats?) can die on screen, there are guns) while still having a style similar to Disney. All done 100% independently without a studio canning it for no reason or interfering to make it more in line with the trends or demographic. This is gonna be gold.

It's... honestly kinda surreal to see Rocky with such a placid, not-at-all crazed smile on his face. Really emphasizes just how much his time with Lackadaisy changes him.

[@FlowerPower0442]

Somewhat, from what we see in the comics it does seem like Rocky has been crazed for a while, before working at Lackadaisy and such. It seems more that his craziness is able to flourish a bit more in his current employment, but we‘ll see. Other than the letters to Freckle and some scattered conversations we don’t know much about pre-Lackadaisy Rocky, which makes this even more exciting!

[@WeaverOfStars]

@@FlowerPower0442 I always got the feeling more that Rocky's exuberance was always a side of him he used moreso to hide a lot of sadness. He does actually enjoy working for Lackadaisy but his overly exuberant personality during the comic is moreso cause he knows the buisness isn't doing good and doesn't want it to go away as he really doesn't have anywhere to go. Rocky's mom is dead, his aunt (Freckles mom) kicked him out of her house and doesn't like him, and his dad is implied to of ran off somewhere and doesn't want him either. Poor dude has literally nowhere to go.

[@FlowerPower0442]

@@WeaverOfStars Oh absolutely! His usual over the top behaviour is certainly a way to hide a lot of complex internal sadness. He‘s had a rough go of life, and Lackadaisy honestly seems like the last thing he has. He clings to it with all he‘s got, and essentially obsesses over Mitzi as the one person who is still giving him a chance (and hasn’t seemed to push him away previously, only accepted him). He‘s been through a lot, so I guess maybe calling him crazy for his covering demeanour wasn’t the best choice of words on my part lol. He‘s just troubled and trying to overcompensate to an extreme degree for it. Well, except until he got his skull cracked by the front bumper of a hearse. He is absolutely nuts after that.
