[@genebomb9958]

It was made in 87; this was when he was hardcore advocate of adult animation

[@keybyss98]

To an extent, you’re right, though hardcore adult animation wasn’t brand new at this point. Stuff like Fritz the Cat had already come out. So, in ‘87, this was a little different in the sense that most animation of this time tended to be more child-oriented, though adult animation in of itself wasn’t new at the time.
